The Defense Production Administration was established by Executive Order 10200 on January 3, 1951. Its mandate was to oversee the federal government's defense production program, which included materials production, manufacturing conversion, setting of [[production quota]]s, and establishing the mix of defense and civilian production. It was placed under the Office of Defense Mobilization, along with the [[Wage Stabilization Board]], the [[Office of Price Administration]], and other wartime agencies. The [[National Production Authority]] (NPA) was placed under the control of the Defense Production Administration. Although most of the NPA's functions were transferred to the Defense Production Administration, the agency re-delegated them back to NPA. Indeed, most of the agencies which fell under authority of the DPA remained, organizationally, within their respective cabinet departments.<ref name="Pierpaoli">Pierpaoli, ''Truman and Korea: The Political Culture of the Early Cold War,'' 1999.</ref> | The Defense Production Administration was established by Executive Order 10200 on January 3, 1951.
