handle is hein.gao/gaobabdip0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Secretary Of The Interior Actions Needed To Promote A Stable Supply Of Strategic And Critical Minerals And Materials The administration's April 5, 1982, pro- gram plan required by the National Mate- rials and Minerals Policy, Research and Development Act of 1980 does not ade- quately address (1) what constitutes a stra- tegic and critical mineral or material, (2) what is the magnitude of potential U.S. vulnerability, and (3) what is the proper Federal role. GAO concludes that unless these issues are resolved, a coherent plan to reduce U.S. minerals and materials vulnerability may be difficult, if not impossible to implement, and the limited Federal funds available may not be expended in the most cost-effective manner. GAO recommends that the Secretary of the Interior (1) clearly define the terms stra- tegic and critical, (2) establish criteria and develop a methodology to measure the magnitude of potential U.S. vulnerability, and (3) articulate how each proposed short- term action relates to long-term national goals and policies.
