Ellen Lord memo: “If you work in a critical infrastructure industry you have a special responsibility to maintain your normal work schedule."
WASHINGTON — Defense Department contractors in sectors such as aerospace, manufacturing and intelligence are part of the United States’ critical infrastructure and have to continue working during the coronavirus emergency, Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Ellen Lord said in a March 20 memo.
The “Defense Industrial Base†is one of the sectors identified in a Department of Homeland Security March 19 memo as critical infrastructure, Lord noted. The memo was distributed on Friday to defense industry associations, governors associations and to committees on Capitol Hill.
