"Some thoughts on the presidency" [1]

(The site's index dates this to 1952, but it mentions "the events of 1974.")

The Nixon memo is dated for 1980 from after Nixon was president.

I'm two pages in, and it is excellent.

Quotables in in every paragraph!

Yes, it mentions the energy crisis so dates it to late 70s at least. Also President Reagan, so after 1981. Probably well after.

Truly amazing resource. Thanks to the folks funding this, and doing the scans.
