                    Executive Order 12919 of June 3, 1994
    
     
    National Defense Industrial Resources 
                    Preparedness
    
                    By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                    Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                    America, including the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
                    as amended (64 Stat. 798; 50 U.S.C. App. 2061, et 
                    seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, 
                    and as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the 
                    United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:
    
                        PART I--PURPOSE, POLICY AND IMPLEMENTATION
    
                    Section 101. Purpose. This order delegates authorities 
                    and addresses national defense industrial resource 
                    policies and programs under the Defense Production Act 
                    of 1950, as amended (``the Act''), except for the 
                    amendments to Title III of the Act in the Energy 
                    Security Act of 1980 and telecommunication authorities 
                    under Executive Order No. 12472.
    
                    Sec. 102. Policy. The United States must have an 
                    industrial and technology base capable of meeting 
                    national defense requirements, and capable of 
                    contributing to the technological superiority of its 
                    defense equipment in peacetime and in times of national 
                    emergency. The domestic industrial and technological 
                    base is the foundation for national defense 
                    preparedness. The authorities provided in the Act shall 
                    be used to strengthen this base and to ensure it is 
                    capable of responding to all threats to the national 
                    security of the United States.
    
                    Sec. 103. General Functions. Federal departments and 
                    agencies responsible for defense acquisition (or for 
                    industrial resources needed to support defense 
                    acquisition) shall:
    
                        (a) Identify requirements for the full spectrum of 
                    national security emergencies, including military, 
                    industrial, and essential civilian demand;
    
                        (b) Assess continually the capability of the 
                    domestic industrial and technological base to satisfy 
                    requirements in peacetime and times of national 
                    emergency, specifically evaluating the availability of 
                    adequate industrial resource and production sources, 
                    including subcontractors and suppliers, materials, 
                    skilled labor, and professional and technical 
                    personnel;
                        (c) Be prepared, in the event of a potential threat 
                    to the security of the United States, to take actions 
                    necessary to ensure the availability of adequate 
                    industrial resources and production capability, 
                    including services and critical technology for national 
                    defense requirements;
                        (d) Improve the efficiency and responsiveness, to 
                    defense requirements, of the domestic industrial base; 
                    and
                        (e) Foster cooperation between the defense and 
                    commercial sectors for research and development and for 
                    acquisition of materials, components, and equipment to 
                    enhance industrial base efficiency and responsiveness.
    
                    Sec. 104. Implementation. (a) The National Security 
                    Council is the principal forum for consideration and

                        (b) The Director, Federal Emergency Management

                    Council on issues of national security resource 
                    preparedness and on the use of the authorities and 
                    functions delegated by this order;
    
                    (2) Provide for the central coordination of the plans 
                    and programs incident to authorities and functions 
                    delegated under this order, and provide guidance and 
                    procedures approved by the Assistant to the President 
                    for National Security Affairs to the Federal 
                    departments and agencies under this order;
    
                    (3) Establish procedures, in consultation with Federal 
                    departments and agencies assigned functions under this 
                    order, to resolve in a timely and effective manner 
                    conflicts and issues that may arise in implementing the 
                    authorities and functions delegated under this order; 
                    and

                    assigned functions under this order shall ensure that 
                    the performance of these functions is consistent with 
                    National Security Council policy and guidelines.
