The proliferation of uncoordinated governmental
agencies and policies have had dramatic and stifling effects
on U. S. strategic and critical materials industries and
thus have contributed significantly to current problems
of increased prices, lengthening leadtimes, and tenuous
availability of these materials. These effects have a
direct correlation to the same problems associated with the
acquisition of major weapon systems. Government and private
industry have been working to improve the situation, but
much more needs to be done. A national strategic and
critical materials policy must be adopted and implemented
by a singly responsible agency; inventory goals of the
National Defense Stockpile must be filled; and an investigation of an "economic stockpile" should be undertaken.
