place an order with any person for such ships or war material as

the necessities of the Government, to be determined by the

quantity usually produced or capable of being produced by such

person. Compliance with all such orders shall be obligatory on any

person to whom such order is given, and such order shall take

precedence over all other orders and contracts theretofore placed

with such person. If any person owning, leasing, or operating any

factory equipped for the building or production of ships or war

material for the Navy shall refuse or fail to give to the United

States such preference in the execution of such an order, or shall

refuse to build, supply, furnish, or manufacture the kind,

quantity, or quality of ships or war material so ordered at such

reasonable price as shall be determined by the President, the

person, or of any part thereof without taking possession of the

such manner as he may consider necessary or expedient.

Third. To require the owner or occupier of any factory in which

ships or war material are built or produced to place at the

disposal of the United States the whole or any part of the output

of such factory, and, within the limit of the amounts appropriated

therefor, to deliver such output or parts thereof in such

quantities and at such times as may be specified in the order at

such reasonable price as shall be determined by the President.

Fourth. To requisition and take over for use or operation by the

Government any factory, or any part thereof without taking

possession of the entire factory, whether the United States has or

has not any contract or agreement with the owner or occupier of

such factory.

(d) (!1) Compensation for commandeered material

Whenever the United States shall cancel or modify any contract,

make use of, assume, occupy, requisition, or take over any factory

or part thereof, or any ships or war material, in accordance with

the provisions of subsection (b) of this section, it shall make

just compensation therefor, to be determined by the President, and

if the amount thereof so determined by the President is

unsatisfactory to the person entitled to receive the same, such

person shall be paid fifty per centum of the amount so determined

by the President and shall be entitled to sue the United States to

recover such further sum as added to said fifty per centum shall

make up such amount as will be just compensation therefor, in the

manner provided for by section 1346 or section 1491 of title 28.

Defense shall submit to Congress a report on stockpile

requirements. Each such report shall include -

(1) the Secretary's recommendations with respect to stockpile

requirements; and

(b) National emergency planning assumptions

Each report under this section shall set forth the national

emergency planning assumptions used by the Secretary in making the

Secretary's recommendations under subsection (a)(1) of this section

with respect to stockpile requirements. The Secretary shall base

the national emergency planning assumptions on a military conflict

scenario consistent with the scenario used by the Secretary in

forth include assumptions relating to each of the following:

(1) The length and intensity of the assumed military conflict.

(2) The military force structure to be mobilized.

(3) The losses anticipated from enemy action.

(4) The military, industrial, and essential civilian

requirements to support the national emergency.

(5) The availability of supplies of strategic and critical

materials from foreign sources during the mobilization period,

the military conflict, and the subsequent period of

replenishment, taking into consideration possible shipping

losses.

(6) The domestic production of strategic and critical materials

during the mobilization period, the military conflict, and the

subsequent period of replenishment, taking into consideration

possible shipping losses.

(7) Civilian austerity measures required during the

mobilization period and military conflict.

The stockpile requirements shall be based on those strategic and

critical materials necessary for the United States to replenish or

replace, within three years of the end of the military conflict

scenario required under subsection (b) of this section, all

munitions, combat support items, and weapons systems that would be

required after such a military conflict.

(d) Effect of alternative mobilization periods

The Secretary shall also include in each report under this

section an examination of the effect that alternative mobilization

periods under the military conflict scenario required under

subsection (b) of this section, as well as a range of other

military conflict scenarios addressing potentially more serious

threats to national security, would have on the Secretary's

recommendations under subsection (a)(1) of this section with

respect to stockpile requirements.

(e) Plans of President

The President shall submit with each report under this section a

statement of the plans of the President for meeting the

recommendations of the Secretary set forth in the report.
