                Presidential Determination No. 2019-10 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 production 
                capability for precursor materials for 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 production capability for 
                precursor materials for 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.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, January 16, 2019
