    A sustained state of mobilization production readiness is necessary 

to place the United States in a defense posture which will enable the 

nation to defend itself against aggression in peripheral conflicts or 

general war involving nuclear attacks on this country. Therefore, the 

facilities, machine tools, production equipment, and skilled workers 

necessary to produce the wartime requirements of the Department of 

Defense, Department of Energy, and the Maritime Administration shall be 

maintained in a state of readiness which will facilitate their immediate 

use or conversion in time of emergency, with especial emphasis on 

measures to maximize the probability of continued post-attack production 

of those items judged to be vital to survival and victory.
