    The Office of National Drug Control Policy coordinates Federal, State,
    and local efforts to control illegal drug abuse and devises national
    policy and strategies to effectively carry out antidrug activities.
    The Office of National Drug Control Policy was established by the
    National Narcotics Leadership Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.),
    effective January 29, 1989, as amended by the Violent Crime Control and
    Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (21 U.S.C. 1502, 1506, 1508) and
    reauthorized by the Office of National Drug Control Policy
    Reauthorization Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.).
        The Director of National Drug Control Policy is appointed by the
    President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Director is
    assisted by a Deputy Director, a Deputy Director for Demand Reduction, a
    Deputy Director for Supply Reduction, and a Deputy Director for State
    and Local Affairs.
        The Director of National Drug Control Policy is responsible for
    establishing policies, objectives, priorities, and performance
    measurement for the national drug control program, and for annually
    promulgating a national drug control strategy and supporting annual
    reports and an annual national drug control program budget to be
    submitted to the Congress by the President. The Director advises the
    President regarding necessary changes in the organization, management,
    budgeting, and personnel allocation of Federal agencies involved in drug
    enforcement activities and is also responsible for notifying Federal
    agencies if their policies are not in compliance with their
    responsibilities under the national drug control strategy. Additionally,
    the Office has direct programmatic responsibility for the Drug-Free
    Communities Program, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, the
    various programs under the Counter-Drug Technology Assessment Center,
    and the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program.
