                 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.
