Which senator needs enlightenment?
Because it's pretty easy to see.

2. A waiver, or a Domestic Non-Availability Determination (DNAD) to the Berry Amendment may be granted if the Secretaries of the Army, Navy or Air Force, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT&L)), or the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency determines that items grown, reprocessed, reused, or produced in the United States cannot be acquired as and when needed in a satisfactory quality and sufficient quantity at U.S. market prices..

3. Items listed in Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR 25.104(a). These are items determined to be nonavailable under provisions of the Buy American Act. This determination does not necessarily mean that there is no domestic source for the listed items, but that domestic sources can only meet 50 percent or less of total U.S. Government and nongovernment demand. 


 

That is pretty clear but I know you pretty well and that doesnt say it specific enough.

So how about this?

The following textile products have been determined to be nonavailable in accordance with FAR 25.103(b)(1)(i):
50 denier rayon yarn
Leather,
sheepskin (hair type)
Fair linen for altars
Metallic (gold) thread
Fibers of the following types: abaca, abace, agave, coir, flax, jute, jute burlaps, palmyra, and sisal
Modacrylic fur ruff
Goat & kid skins
Rabbit fur felt
Goat hair canvas
Raw & unmanufactured silk
Hemp yarn

Maybe send that to the senator and let her know that the barry amendment is not an issue
