reauthoizations

Hi all. It would be useful to have a table with all the various reauthorizations that have occurred including year and pl numbers. I probably won't get to this for a few weeks. A CRS report will probably have it. Cheers --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 20:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Agent Orange

Shouldn't there be a mention of the Act being used to force chemical companies to supply them with Agent Orange? http://www.dow.com/sustainability/debates/agentorange/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.165.82 (talk) 09:39, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Post is slanted biased reference and the entry is not factual. The president did not state that his invocation had anything to do with Covid-19 2605:E000:151F:C745:48BF:8E4C:F90E:CFD4 (talk) 17:49, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Canadian Act

I don't see an article about it, but I feel like there ought to be mention of Canada's Defence Production Act (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/d-1/) (notice the spelling difference). 108.168.18.205 (talk) 14:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. It's a different law in a different jurisdiction, not covered in this article. If there were an article on it, it would be worth a "see also" and/or a disambiguation hat, but there's no reason an article on US legislation should cover the legislation of another country that covers similar ground.

Nonsense, it obviously is similar enough to warrant a disambiguation note at the top.174.130.70.61 (talk) 14:35, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
