	Buy American! by Gary North
		When Americans "buy American," they have in mind something very specific: "Buying what this American chooses to buy." They are only slightly concerned with buying what another American chooses to manufacture.
		What if you were a concerned American citizen who had come to me in search of an answer to a problem, "How to save Son of Hudson from bankruptcy?" First, as a defender of tariffs, I might have offered you the typical arguments: unfair competition, dumping, low foreign wages, and so forth.
		If people who want all Americans to "buy American" are not willing to admit that they are calling for American producers to sell only to Americans, then they had better drop their slogan.

	'Buy America' Provisions Don't Help Homeland Security or National Defense
		U.S. security is more severely hampered by reduced innovation and higher prices from ‘buy America’ requirements than by any security risk that a foreign contract might possess in their absence.
		Both outsourcing and insourcing are necessary for the further fostering of American trade relationships and future economic development.

	Change notice
		Changes the DFARS to implement a determination of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) (USD(ATandL)) that it is inconsistent with the public interest to apply the restrictions of the Buy American Act to U.S.-made end products that are substantially transformed in the United States.
		The rule simplifies evaluation of offers in acquisitions subject to the Trade Agreements Act, because it eliminates the need to determine if a U.S.-made end product is also a domestic end product, i.e., the cost of domestic components exceeds the cost of all components by more than 50 percent.
		This rule also applies the USD(ATandL) determination to acquisitions subject to the Balance of Payments Program, since the Balance of Payments Program is an extension of the Buy American Act restrictions to acquisitions of supplies for overseas use.
