Abstract
Highlights from the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 drug control budget include: (1) the total recommended funding for FY 2007 was $12.7 billion, an increase of $80.6 million over the FY 2006 enacted budget; (2) budgets for the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and Transportation, the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) include funding to support important prevention and treatment efforts; (3) funding for supply reduction in the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, State, Treasury, and Defense support operations targeting the economic basis of the drug trade, domestic and international sources of illegal drugs, and trafficking routes to and within the United States; and (4) the budget includes significant resources to aid drug supply reduction efforts in Afghanistan, while maintaining funding for Columbia and the Andean region. Budget summaries are presented for all represented United States agencies (Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, ONDCP, Department of State, Department of Transportation, Department of Treasury, Veterans Affairs, and Small Business Administration). The President's Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 Budget provides resources for reducing illegal drug use in the United States. The proposed funding levels support the three key priorities of the National Drug Control Strategy (Strategy). Priority I, Stopping Use Before it Starts: Education and Community Action, receives support for effective programs to help communities obtain a drug-free environment and encourage young people to reject drug use. Priority II, Intervening and Healing America's Drug Users, continues to focus on ensuring that treatment is available for those who need it. The Strategy's Priority III, Disrupting the Market, targets individuals and organizations profiting from trafficking in illegal drugs. Figure and tables
