    Reauthorization Act of 2006 (21 U.S.C. 1701 note,120 Stat. 3502).
        The Director of National Drug Control Policy is appointed by the

    Director for State, Local, and Tribal Affairs.
        The Director of National Drug Control Policy is responsible for

    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

    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
