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 2006 (21 U.S.C. 1701 note).
    The Director of National Drug Control Policy is appointed by the 
President with the advice and consent of the Senate.

    The Director of National Drug Control Policy is responsible for 
establishing policies, objectives, priorities, and performance

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

Communities Program, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, the
