Agreement (VISA) until October 1, 2019, 

pursuant to the Defense Production Act 

of 1950, as amended. The purpose of the

space, intermodal equipment and 

related management services, available 

to the Department of Defense as 

required to support the emergency 

deployment and sustainment of U.S.

1950, as amended, (50 U.S.C. App.

preparedness programs and expansion 

of production capacity and supply’’, 

authorizes the President, upon a finding 

that conditions exist which may pose a 

direct threat to the national defense or 

its preparedness programs, ‘‘to consult 

with representatives of industry, 

business, financing, agriculture, labor 

and other interests’’ in order to provide

agreements. It further authorizes the 

President to delegate that authority to 

individuals who are appointed by and

Senate, upon the condition that such 

individuals obtain the prior approval of

SecTrans delegated to the Maritime 

Administrator the authority under 

which the VISA is sponsored. Through
