Combating Terrorism

Funding Data Reported to Congress Should Be Improved

By: Raymond J. Decker,Paul L. Posner

Congress responded to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, with dramatic funding increases to combat terrorism. Even before these attacks, Congress was concerned about increased funding in this area, and based on findings from a 1997 GAO report, mandated that the OMB report annually on funding to combat terrorism. In this review, GAO was asked to analyze such funding trends, describe difficulties in coordinating combating terrorism budgets, assess data reported to Congress, and describe the executive branch's efforts to maximize the effective use of combating terrorism funds. The review relied on OMB's definition of "combating terrorism" to include both homeland security and overseas combating terrorism missions. Charts and tables.

Chemical and Biological Defense: Units Better Equipped, But Training and Readiness Reporting Problems Remain

Congressional Report

By: Raymond Decker

In response to concerns about the readiness of early deploying U.S. forces to operate in a chemically or biologically contaminated environment, the author selected three Army divisions, two Air Force fighter wings, and one Marine Corps expeditionary force, and determined if they had: (1) their required personnel protection, detection, and decontamination equipment and medical supplies; and (2) incorporated chemical and biological defense training into readiness exercises and had their authorized personnel provide this training. Overall, the units reviewed were better equipped for chemical or biological warfare in 2000 than the units reviewed for a 1996 report. Illustrations.
