Organized crime is flourishing despite an improved strike force program. The Department of Justice has successfully indicted and prosecuted many high level crime figures, but a stronger Federal attack is needed. GAO recommends that the Attorney General: (1) Establish an executive committee in each strike force to ensure that Federal efforts are focused, coordinated, and directed. (2) Concentrate the limited resources of the strike forces on indepth investigations and prosecutions of high-level organized crime figures, and transfer uncomplicated cases to U.S. Attorney's offices. (3) Emphasize the use of case initiation reports and implementation of an evaluation system. In addition, Congress needs to amend the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute to help assist the Federal fight against organized crime activities.
