                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.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, June 24, 2020
