[1] Reagan Administration officials presented a draft plan of legislative text that could be submitted to Congress for approval during a national emergency, such as nuclear war.
[citation needed] These DRA and DPA enactments collectively would form the basis of a substantial part of Reagan's nuclear war and emergency plans.
After enactment, the president would be free to sign orders and directives employing the approved legislation as a legal and statutory basis for presidential emergency powers.
[citation needed] The table of contents of the proposed legislation calls for several Titles that would form the basis of key emergency authorities.
Title X authorized the president to direct federal officials to employ limited international censorship of communications entering and leaving the USA.
The proposals did not limit oversight by the Congress or federal judiciary and Supreme Court of the United States, nor did they give the president unlimited or perpetual unilateral or unconstitutional power.
