Presidential Determination No. 2019-03 of October 5,
2018
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 development of and the
purchase of equipment and materials needed for Lithium
Sea-Water batteries are 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 the production
of Lithium Sea-Water batteries 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.)
