                Presidential Determination No. 2019-02 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 alane 
                fuel cells 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 alane fuel cells 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.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, October 5, 2018
