The objective of the Government's industrial
mobilization planning is to ensure that production requirements
for essential military supplies and services will be met during
a national emergency. She Secretary of Defense has identified
items which must be purchased only from producers in the United
States and Canada in the interest of national defense. The
policy of the Department of Defense is to purchase such
commodities as steel at the lowest possible cost consis4ent with
existing procurement statutes and regulations. This policy is
not, however, intended to encourage the purchase of foreign
steel. The level of peacetime usage of steel in defense items
does not appear to be of sufficient magnitude to justify
restricting procurement of the steel content of such items to
United States and Canadian sources in order to create or
maintain emergency capability to produce steel. Many defense
items restricted to U.S. or Canadian sources do contain steel,
but the restriction is based on the need to maintain production
capability for a specific defense item and is not related to its
steel ccntent. (aNS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaayap0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
