                Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States, 
                including section 4533(a)(5) of the Defense Production 
                Act of 1950 (the ``Act'')(50 U.S.C. 4533(a)(5)), I 
                hereby determine, pursuant to section 4533(a)(5) of the 
                Act, that critical technology item shortfalls affecting 
                domestic production of trusted advanced photomasks are

                States defense industrial base cannot reasonably be 
                expected to adequately provide those capabilities or 
                critical technology items in a timely manner. Further, 
                purchases, purchase commitments, or other action 
                pursuant to section 4533 of the Act are the most cost 
                effective, expedient, and practical alternative method 
                for meeting the need for those capabilities or critical 
                technology items.
