                 Presidential Determination No. 2019-07 of January 16,
                 2019
                
                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 domestic capability for
                 advanced manufacturing techniques for the production of
                 chemicals in munitions 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 capability for advanced
                 manufacturing techniques for the production of
                 chemicals in munitions 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.
                
                
                 (Presidential Sig.)
