{"product_id":"the-berry-amendment-valeria-bailey-grasso-9781503021396","title":"The Berry Amendment: Requiring Defense Procurement to Come from Domestic Sources","description":"This report examines the original intent and purpose of the Berry Amendment and legislative proposals to amend the application of domestic source restrictions, as well as potential options for Congress. In order to protect the U.S. industrial base during periods of adversity and war, Congress passed domestic source restrictions as part of the 1941 Fifth Supplemental Department of Defense (DOD) Appropriations Act. These provisions later became known as the Berry Amendment. The Berry Amendment (Title 10 United States Code [U.S.C.]  2533a, Requirement to Buy Certain Articles from American Sources; Exceptions) contains a number of domestic source restrictions that prohibit DOD from acquiring food, clothing (including military uniforms), fabrics (including ballistic fibers), stainless steel, and hand or measuring tools that are not grown or produced in the United States. The Berry Amendment applies to DOD purchases only.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valeria Bailey Grasso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503021394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503021396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.06d","brand":"Valeria Bailey Grasso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48622956773631,"sku":"9781503021396","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2e24ce7-a54e-453d-a7ef-74f0318cfa9e.jpg?v=1780430299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-berry-amendment-valeria-bailey-grasso-9781503021396","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
