Title I of the Defense Production Act of 1950 ( 50 U.S.C. 5411 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following new section: If the President determines to use or invoke an authority under this title in the context of the outbreak of a pandemic that affects other North Atlantic Treaty Organization

(NATO)member countries or affects any country with which the United States has entered into a mutual defense treaty, the President, acting through the Secretary of Defense with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall— coordinate with appropriate counterparts of NATO member countries or mutual defense treaty countries to assess any logistical challenges relating to demand or supply chain gaps with respect to the United States and such countries; work to fill such gaps in order to ensure a necessary and appropriate level of scarce and critical material essential to the national defense for the United States and such countries; and promote access to vaccines or other remedies through Federally funded medical research to respond to the declared pandemic. It is the sense of Congress that the United States should work with its NATO and other allies and partners to build permanent mechanisms to strengthen supply chains, fill supply chain gaps, and maintain commitments made at the June 2020 NATO Defense Ministerial. .
