Statement by NSC Spokesperson Adrienne Watson on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s Ballistic Missile Launch
OCTOBER 03, 2022
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES

The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) dangerous and reckless decision to launch a long-range ballistic missile over Japan. This action is destabilizing and shows the DPRK’s blatant disregard for United Nations Security Council resolutions and international safety norms. Tonight, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with his Japanese and Republic of Korea (ROK) counterparts, Secretary General Akiba Takeo of the National Security Secretariat of Japan and National Security Office Director Kim Sung-han of the ROK. In both calls, the National Security Advisors consulted on appropriate and robust joint and international responses and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan reinforced the United States’ ironclad commitments to the defense of Japan and the ROK. The United States will continue its efforts to limit the DPRK’s ability to advance its prohibited ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs, including with allies and UN partners.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

SUBJECT:       Presidential Waiver of Statutory Requirements Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended


By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the “Act”) (50 U.S.C. 4533), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 303(a)(7)(B) of the Act, that action is necessary to increase the production capacity of material critical to support the defense against adversarial aggression and that a shortfall in this area would severely impair national defense capability.  Therefore, I waive the requirements of sections 303(a)(5) and 303(a)(6) of the Act for the purpose of expanding and accelerating the domestic production capability of critical weapons and equipment needed for national defense.

You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

Statement by President Joe Biden on Yom Kippur
OCTOBER 04, 2022
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES

For Jewish communities across the United States and around the world, Yom Kippur is a sacred and solemn occasion. During this holiest of days, Jews come together to fast, reflect, and repent; to take stock of their actions in the past year, seek forgiveness, and commit to doing better in the year to come. On this Yom Kippur, our hearts are with all Americans in the path of Hurricane Ian, especially those whose synagogues are shuttered and who will have to break their fast without loved ones beside them.

At the heart of Yom Kippur is the universal truth that we are all capable of growth and improvement. Each of us has a role to play not only in healing the wounds we’ve inflicted on others, but in repairing the rifts in our communities, our country, and our world. As these Days of Awe come to a close, let us all take this opportunity to face the injustice and inhumanity in our world honestly and resolve to do our part to mend what is broken.

Jill and I wish an easy and meaningful fast to all who are observing Yom Kippur in the U.S., Israel, and around the world. G’mar Chatimah Tovah—may we all be sealed in the Book of Life.

Statement by the President on Micron Chips Announcement in New York
OCTOBER 04, 2022
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES

To those who doubted that America could dominate the industries of the future, I say this – you should never bet against the American people.  Today is another win for America, and another massive new investment in America spurred by my economic plan.  Micron, an American company, is investing $20 billion dollars this decade and up to $100 billion over twenty years in CHIPS manufacturing in upstate New York, creating tens of thousands of good paying jobs.  Together, we are building an economy from the bottom up and the middle out, where we lower costs for our families and make it right here in America.
