Strategic Materials Industry Study. Industry Study, Spring 2008
Abstract
Strategic materials encompasses not only the materials essential for a healthy economy and robust national security, but also mining, processing and related technologies, as well as the domestic and international politics and trade policies which affect access to traditional and emerging materials. For the United States to ensure its security, maintain its military force dominance, and enhance global economic competitiveness, it must address the lack of a coordinated materials policy. At a minimum, a coordinated policy must address trade, taxes, education, the environment, research and development, and production capacity within the industrial base. While providing recommendations in each of these areas there are specific recommendations for the creation of an interagency policy coordination committee and a critical minerals partnership comprised of government and industry representatives. The goal is to bring together all stakeholders and provide a forum for discussion that will lead to enhanced policy recommendations.
