A useful tool, much like Zenpundit himself.

National Defense University Library has digitized American National Strategy Documents in a searchable archive.

Cool.

    I wonder if those files are visible from IPs outside the US. Just for curiosity’s sake.

    Good question. Policy Planning wrote the draft then presumably it would have crossed the desk of the undersecretary, the SECSTATE ( Acheson), Clark Clifford, the SECDEF (Johnson or Marshall), Truman, maybe his VP ( Barkley), maybe Chip Bohlen (Amb. to USSR). More skeptical comments were likely to have come from Bohlen or Clifford.
