摘要：	Each year, criminal organizations transport hundreds of tons of illegal drugs from South America to the United States through a 6 million square mile transit zone including Central America, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the eastern Pacific Ocean. Since fiscal year 2003, the United States has provided over $950 million to support counternarcotics efforts in transit zone countries, which historically lacked the capacity to interdict drugs. GAO was asked to examine (1) how the United States has assisted transit zone countries in disrupting drug trafficking and (2) what factors have impeded these efforts. GAO analyzed relevant data, met with U.S. and foreign officials, and visited selected countries. GAO recommends that State (1) report more comprehensively and consistently on the results of U.S. initiatives and (2) develop plans for sustaining U.S.-provided assets. State partially disagreed. GAO modified the first recommendation to emphasize reporting results rather than developing performance measures; however, GAO believes that plans are needed for sustaining U.S.-provided assets. GAO also recommends that DHS determine the feasibility of expanding its Container Security Initiative (CSI) to target and scan containers for illicit drugs. DHS disagreed, indicating that drug interdiction is not in CSIs mandate. GAO notes that CSIs 2006-2011 Strategic Plan envisions potential expansion to detect drugs and examining the feasibility of doing so would be a logical first step. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
