                Memorandum of May 23, 2025

                
Presidential Waiver of Statutory Requirements 
                Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act 
                of 1950: Reviving the Manufacturing and Defense 
                Industrial Base for Munitions and Minerals

                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'') (title 
                50, U.S.C., Sec.  4533), I hereby determine, pursuant 
                to section 303(a)(7)(B) of the Act, that action is 
                necessary to increase production capacity of munitions, 
                missiles and associated equipment, and minerals and 
                that shortfalls in these areas would severely impair 
                national defense capability. Therefore, I waive the 
                requirements of section 303(a)(2) through (a)(6) of the 
                Act for supply chains associated with munitions, 
                missiles and associated equipment, and critical 
                minerals, as defined by title 30, U.S.C., Sec.  
                1606(a)(3), as well as uranium, copper, potash, and 
                gold.

                Ensuring a robust, resilient, and sustainable domestic 
                industrial base is essential to our national security 
                and the preservation of domestic critical 
                infrastructure. You are authorized and directed to 
                publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, May 23, 2025
