                Presidential Determination No. 2017-09 of June 13, 2017

                
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 
                4533(a)(5) of the Defense Production Act of 1950

                Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States, 
                including section 4533(a)(5) of the Defense Production 
                Act of 1950 (the ``Act'') (50 U.S.C. 4533(a)(5)), I 
                hereby determine, pursuant to section 4533(a)(5) of the 
                Act, that critical technology item shortfalls affecting 
                adenovirus vaccine production capability; high 
                strength, inherently fire and ballistic resistant, co-
                polymer aramid fibers industrial capability; secure 
                hybrid composite shipping container industrial 
                capability; and three-dimensional ultra-high density 
                microelectronics for information protection industrial 
                capability are critical to national defense.

                Without Presidential action under this Act, the United 
                States defense industrial base cannot reasonably be 
                expected to adequately provide those capabilities or 
                critical technology items in a timely manner. Further, 
                purchases, purchase commitments, or other action 
                pursuant to section 4533 of the Act are the most cost 
                effective, expedient, and practical alternative method 
                for meeting the need for those capabilities or critical 
                technology items.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                memorandum in the Federal Register.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, June 13, 2017
