The mission of the DEA is to control abuse of narcotics and
dangerous drugs by restricting the aggregate supply of those drugs. At
the Federal level, DEA is the lead drug law enforcement agency. DEA
accomplishes its objectives through coordination with State, local, and
other Federal officials in drug law enforcement activities, development
and maintenance of drug intelligence systems, regulation of legitimate
controlled substances activities, and enforcement coordination and
intelligence-gathering activities with foreign government agencies.
Cooperation among Federal law enforcement agencies is extensive,
especially within the nine Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement (ICDE)
regional task forces. DEA's involvement is integral to this nationwide
coordinated enforcement strategy. With the ICDE program and the
expansion of other agency cooperative efforts, overall drug enforcement
capabilities have been significantly strengthened in recent years.
The activities of the DEA are divided into the following general
categories:
Enforcement--
Domestic enforcement.--This activity encompasses DEA's general
efforts to eliminate or immobilize major drug trafficking
organizations and thereby reduce the domestic supply of illicit
drugs.
Domestic Enforcement includes the majority of the activities
encompassed within DEA's 21 domestic field divisions. These
activities include efforts to reduce the availability of illicit
drugs by immobilizing targeted organizations that are substantially
responsible for importation and distribution of drugs and by
focusing enforcement operations on specific drug trafficking
problems.
State and local task forces.--This activity encompasses efforts
to reduce drug availability and immobilize major drug trafficking
organizations through intergovernmental cooperation with State and
local law enforcement agencies and through DEA's Mobile Enforcement
Team Program. There are currently 103 program-funded and 52
provisional State and Local Task Forces and 23 Mobile Enforcement
Teams participating in the program.
Measures reported in past years, such as arrests, indictments,
and convictions, are not considered useful indicators of the outcome
or impact of law enforcement activities by the Department of
Justice. The Department will continue to develop new and more
meaningful performance measures as part of the implementation of the
Government Performance and Results Act. The measures below reflect
the level of activity performed by this program.
1997 actual 1998 est. 1999 est.
DEA cases initiated................. 1,541 1,618 1,699
Other federal referral cases
initiated........................... 1,394 1,464 1,537
DEA cooperative cases initiated..... 7,901 8,296 8,710
State and Local Task Force cases
initiated........................... 6,545 6,872 7,216
DEA-OCDETF cases initiated.......... 270 284 298
Clandestine labs seized............. 1,232 1,294 1,359
Foreign cooperative investigations.--This activity encompasses
efforts to (1) disrupt, as close to the source as possible,
production of opium, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and illicitly
produced and diverted legitimate dangerous drugs destined for the
United States, and (2) collect and disseminate intelligence
regarding narcotics production and trafficking. The measure below
reflects the level of activity performed by this program.
1997 actual 1998 est. 1999 est.
Foreign cases initiated............. 899 944 991
Chemical diversion control.--This activity seeks to reduce the
diversion of legitimately produced controlled chemicals into illicit
channels at all levels of distribution and to provide the leadership
and support necessary to ensure that State and local agencies and
the chemical industry establish and maintain programs and policies
to control diversion. The Drug Diversion Control activities are
funded from the Drug Diversion Control Fee Account.
The measure below reflects the level of activity performed by
this program.
1997 actual 1998 est. 1999 est.
Criminal investigations............. 30 35 40
Investigative Support--
[[Page 608]]
Intelligence.--This activity encompasses the collection,
analysis, and dissemination of drug intelligence in support of the
enforcement operations of DEA and other Federal, State and local
agencies.
DEA laboratory services.--This activity encompasses laboratory
analysis of evidence and expert testimony in support of the
investigation and prosecution of drug traffickers. The measure below
reflects the level of activity performed by this program.
1997 actual 1998 est. 1999 est.
Laboratory exhibits analyzed........ 54,457 57,180 60,039
DEA training.--This activity encompasses entry level training
for all special agents, diversion investigators, and intelligence
analysts; advanced, in-service and specialized training for
investigative and other personnel; executive, mid-level management,
and supervisory training for appropriate agency officials; and
foreign language training for DEA personnel assigned to overseas and
border offices as needed. In 1998, training will focus on basic
agent, in-service and specialized training activities. The measures
below reflect a portion of the level of activity performed by this
program.

Diversion investigators trained
(basic)............................. 61 40 40
Intelligence specialist trained
(basic)............................. 21 285 285
Forensic chemists trained........... 22 70 70
Research, engineering, and technical operations.--This activity
encompasses providing high quality and timely radio communications
capability, technical and investigative equipment assistance
support, maintenance and operation of an aircraft fleet, and
research programs directly related to the DEA law enforcement and
intelligence functions.
ADP and telecommunications.--This activity encompasses automated
data processing and telecommunication support on a nationwide and
worldwide basis.
Records management.--This activity encompasses effective and
efficient records management, Freedom of Information/Privacy Act,
and library support.
Program Direction--
Management and Administration.--This activity encompasses the
overall management, contracting, and direction of DEA to include
personnel, general services, and Equal Employment Opportunity
functions.
Reimbursable program.--The primary reimbursements to DEA are for
the Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement program, the training of
foreign drug law enforcement officials (funded by the Department of
State), and the expenses incurred in managing seized assets and
other purposes for which DEA is reimbursed from the Department of
Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund.

Public Law 102-395 established the Diversion Control Fee Account in
1993. Fees charged by the Drug Enforcement Administration under the
Diversion Control Program are set at a level that ensures the recovery
of the full costs of operating the various aspects of the program. The
purpose of this program is to prevent, detect, and investigate the
diversion of controlled substances from legitimate channels, while at
the same time ensuring an adequate and uninterrupted supply of
controlled substances required to meet legitimate needs.
