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.

     (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;
