The Office of National Drug Control Policy assists the President in 
establishing policies, priorities, and objectives in the National Drug 
Control Strategy. It also provides budget, program, and policy 
recommendations on the efforts of National Drug Control Program 
agencies.
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, reauthorized through the Office of National 
Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1701 et 
seq.), and again reauthorized through the Office of National Drug 
Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 (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, 
Local, and Tribal Affairs.
    The Director is responsible for establishing policies, objectives, 
priorities, and performance measurements for the national drug control 
program, as well as for annually promulgating drug control strategies 
and supporting reports and a program budget, which the President submits 
to Congress. The Director advises the President regarding necessary 
changes in the organization, management, budgeting, and personnel 
allocation of Federal agencies enforcing drug activities. The Director 
also notifies Federal agencies if their policies do not comply 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.
