Consultation
The
Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1998
requires ONDCP to consult a wide array of experts and officials while
developing the National Drug Control Strategy. It requires
the ONDCP Director to work with the heads of the National Drug Control
Program agencies, Congress, state and local officials, private citizens
and organizations with expertise in demand reduction, private citizens
and organizations with experience in supply reduction; and appropriate
representatives of foreign governments. ONDCP fully met this congressional
requirement in 1999.
Consultation
with Congress
The
development, implementation, oversight, and funding of a comprehensive
national drug strategy is an objective we undertake in tandem with
Congress. In response, the Strategy provides detailed long-term
plans for addressing domestic and international trends in drug use,
production, and trafficking. Only the federal government has the mandate
to pursue international supply-reduction targets. Congress has been
concerned about accountability in counter-drug efforts and the long-standing
absence of serious performance standards for success. The Strategy
includes specific benchmarks for the base year (1996) and hard data
on results in 1997, 1998, and 1999 (where such data is available).
Finally, the Strategy includes initiatives to reinforce parents
and families as they work to keep young people drug-free, expand treatment,
counter drug legalization, and target international criminal organizations
responsible for much of the world’s drug trade.
During
1999, the executive and legislative branches worked to implement the
Strategy and address important issues with new legislation.
Major accomplishments during the past year include:
- Bipartisan
support and funding for the Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign
- Full funding
of the Drug-Free Communities Program
- Passage of
the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, which is part of
the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY2000. It provides a statutory
framework for the President to institute sanctions against foreign
drug kingpins in order to deny these businesses and agents access
to the U.S. financial system. This new tool will enhance our ability
to combat the national security threat posed by international drug
trafficking.
- Congress will
be briefed extensively on the achievement of the inter-agency approval
for a plan to gather and utilize counterdrug intelligence, which
is known as the General Counterdrug Intelligence Plan and is to
be announced in early 2000.
- Continued support
of the HIDTA program.
ONDCP was pleased
to testify at fourteen hearings in 1999 and take part in numerous
events with substantial Congressional involvement. ONDCP officials
appeared before Congress on all aspects of drug control policy and
implementation, including the Strategy, the federal drug control
budget, the Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, emerging global threats,
the drug legalization movement, reauthorization of the Safe and Drug
Free Schools program, the cocaine and heroin crisis in Colombia, the
Southwest border, and the use of performance-enhancing drugs in Olympic
competition.
Consultation
with National Drug-Control Program Agencies
ONDCP works closely
with agencies that have been charged to oversee drug prevention, education,
treatment, law enforcement, corrections, and interdiction. Input from
fifty-two federal agencies was used to update goals and objectives;
develop performance measures; and formulate budgets, initiatives,
and programs. ONDCP chaired interagency demand-reduction and supply-reduction
working groups. Interdiction operations were shaped by the United
States Interdiction Coordinator (USIC) and the Interdiction Committee
(TIC). ONDCP also coordinated the activities of U.S. members of the
U.S.-Mexico High Level Contact group for Drug Control.
Consultation
with State and Local Officials
ONDCP consults
regularly with state and local officials when implementing the Strategy.
Governors from all states and territories, along with state drug-control
agencies, provide input in the areas of prevention, treatment, and
enforcement. ONDCP worked closely throughout the year with organizations
like as the National Governor’s Association, Council of State Governments,
U.S. Conference of Mayors, and National Association of Counties to
coordinate policies and programs. Perspectives were solicited from
every mayor of a city with at least 100,000 people as well as key
county officials. In addition, local prevention experts, treatment
providers, and law-enforcement officials offered "street-level"
views of the drug problem along with potential solutions.
Consultation
with Private Citizens and Organizations
ONDCP gathered
opinions from community anti-drug coalitions, chambers of commerce,
editorial boards, the entertainment industry, law-enforcement and
legal associations, medical associations and professionals, non-governmental
organizations, and religious institutions. A list of private-sector
groups whose views were considered during formulation of the 2000
Annual Report is provided at the end of this chapter.
The World Wide
Web is a rapidly growing tool for the exchange of information between
ONDCP and the public. The ONDCP Web site (www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/)
was accessed 2,348,674 times by 632,567 users in 1999. ONDCP-sponsored
and affiliated Web sites are a vital part of the National Youth Anti-Drug
Media Campaign. During the past year these sites were accessed by
hundreds of thousands of parents, teachers, mentors, and youth seeking
reliable information. Current ONDCP- sponsored sites for parents and
youth include:
In addition, AOL,
ONDCP, and the Partnership for a Drug-Free America have collaborated
on an AOL Parent’s Drug Resource Center at AOL Keyword: Drug Help
Consultation
with Representatives of Foreign Governments and International Organizations
The United States
coordinated international drug-control policies with global and regional
organizations including the U.N. (particularly UNDCP), the EU, the
OAS, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and the Association of South-East
Asian Nations (ASEAN). U.S. agencies also worked in partnership with
authorities in major transit and source nations to confront international
criminal organizations, develop plans to stop money laundering, deny
safe havens to international criminals, and protect citizens and democratic
institutions from corruption or subversion.
