This document has been alluded to in various books, and I discovered an article a year ago that excerpted parts of it, but the full document is now online. It's of historical interest, and possibly more. Rumsfeld expounds on the expansion of Presidential powers in a time of crisis. It would be interesting to know if this impressed anyone out of the ordinary to Rumsfeld's benefit later on. The expansion of Presidential powers is a key theme in Edward Duggan's thesis THE WAR LOBBY, linked in another thread here at DPF, with Cheney and Rumsfeld as protagonists.
