Just the Facts (1330 words) |
| Section 1004 funds are appropriated in a line item in the Defense appropriation entitled "Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities." This single line in the defense budget includes all Pentagon counter-drug activities beyond the military's normal operations (known as "OPTEMPO"). |
| Because it is funded through the defense budget, Section 1004 is not subject to the same limitations on assistance as "traditional" programs, like IMET, that are funded through the foreign aid process. |
| The only legal condition prohibiting the provision of assistance under Section 1004 is Section 8092 of the 2001 Defense Department Appropriations Act, also known as the "Leahy Law." This measure, which must be renewed yearly, restricts training for units of foreign security forces that abuse human rights unless "all necessary corrective steps" are taken. |
