Official record excerpt
( printed page 38747) Presidential Determination No. 2020-07 of June 24, 2020 Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the “Act”) ( 50 U.S.C. 4533 ), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 303(a)(5) of the Act, that the industrial base production capability for ultra-high and high temperature composites for hypersonic, strategic missile, and space launch systems is essential to the national defense. Without Presidential action under section 303 of the Act, United States industry cannot reasonably be expected to provide the production capability for ultra-high and high temperature composites for hypersonic, strategic missile, and space launch systems adequately and in a timely manner. Further, purchases, purchase commitments, or other action pursuant to section 303 of the Act are the most cost-effective, expedient, and practical alternative method for meeting the need for this critical capability. You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register. THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington, June 24, 2020 [ FR Doc. 2020-14090 Filed 6-26-20; 8:45 am] Billing code 5001-06-P

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
