The Defense Production Act (DPA) of 1950, as amended, confers upon
the President a broad set of authorities to influence domestic
industry in the interest of national defense. The authorities can
be used across the federal government to shape the domestic
industrial base so that, when called upon, it is capable of
providing essential materials and goods needed for the national
defense. Congress has expanded the term national defense, as
defined in the DPA, so that it now includes activities related to
homeland security and domestic emergency management. The scope of
DPA authorities extends beyond shaping U.S. military preparedness
and capabilities, as the authorities may also be used to enhance
and support domestic preparedness, response, and recovery from
natural hazards, terrorist attacks, and other national emergencies.
This book examines some of the extensive history of the DPA,
focusing primarily on its creation and most recent legislative
reauthorisation. This book also discusses the foremost active
authorities of the DPA; explains how those authorities may have
changed as a result of the most recent reauthorisation of the law;
identifies relevant delegations of the President's DPA authorities
made in Executive Order; provides a brief overview of issues
Congress may wish to consider in its oversight of executive branch
use of DPA authorities, as well as the implementation of changes
made in the most recent reauthorisation; and discusses
congressional considerations for expanding, restricting, or
otherwise modifying the authorities provided by the DPA through new
legislation.
