Excerpts From Official Descriptions of Aid Funded Through Section 1004 Counter-Drug Assistance- The U.S. Department of Defense 0000 Fiscal Year 2009 Budget Request: Summary Justification contains this description of Section 1004 Counter-Drug Assistance aid with Western Hemisphere Regional funds:
"The clear linkages between international narcotics trafficking and international terrorism constitute a threat to U.S. national security interests. The global and regional terrorists who threaten U.S. interests can finance their activities with the proceeds from narcotics trafficking. The Departments counternarcotics efforts contribute to homeland defense, foster cooperation with U.S. agencies, strengthen alliances with partner nations, and form relationships with new international partners otherwise reluctant to cooperate with DoD in counter- terrorism and other military activity.
In accordance with its statutory authorities, the Department will continue to use its counternarcotics resources as effectively and efficiently as possible to achieve national counternarcotics priorities, as well supporting efforts in the GWOT. The FY 2009 budget request of $1.1 billion will fund mandatory counternarcotics detection and monitoring missions; permissive counternarcotics support (information sharing and building partner capacity) to domestic and host nation law enforcement and/or military forces; and drug demand reduction activities internal to the Department." - The Department of Defense 2009 FY2009 Section 1022(a) Report reports that Section 1004 Counter-Drug Assistance aid to Bahamas will do the following:
