Statutory text
AN ACT
To authorize the disposal of aluminum from the national stockpile.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That, notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Administrator of General Services is hereby authorized to dispose of, by negotiation or otherwise, approximately nine hundred and twenty thousand short, tons of aluminum now held in the national stockpile established pursuant to the Strategic and Critical Materials Stock Piling Act (50 U.S.C.
98–9811). The time and method of disposition shall lie fixed with due regard to the protection of the United States against avoidable loss and the protection of producers, processors, and consumers against avoidable disruption of their usual markets.
Sec. 2.
No disposal shall be made pursuant to the authority of this Act if such disposal would reduce the aggregate quantity of aluminum in the national stockpile and the inventory maintained under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. App.
2061–2166), below the present aluminum stockpile objective of four hundred and fifty thousand short tons.
Approved June 21, 1966.
