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.
