                the Department of Defense, the General Services 
                Administration, the Department of Energy or any other 
                department or agency of the United States designated by 
                the President, except [contracts where] . . . full 
                payment has been made, may, upon a determination of 
                need by the President, provide or be amended without 
                consideration to provide that payments to be made to 
                the assignee of any moneys due or to become due under 
                [the] contract shall not be subject to reduction or 
                set-off.''

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 301 of title 3, United 
                States Code, I hereby designate all other departments 
                and agencies of the United States as subject to this 
                provision. Furthermore, I hereby delegate to the 
                Secretaries of Defense and Energy, the Administrator of 
                General Services, and the heads of all other 
                departments and agencies, the authority under section 
                2451 of the Act to make determinations of need for 
                their respective agency's contracts, subject to such 
                further guidance as issued by the Office of Federal 
                Procurement Policy.

                The authority delegated by this memorandum may be 
                further delegated within the departments and agencies.

                This memorandum shall be published in the Federal 
                Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
