Answer:

When Richard Nixon resigned in the aftermath of the Watergate incident in 1974, it was only the second time in our country's history that impeachment of a President was considered. Almost every move taken in the case had some constitutional significance. The document presented here addresses a specific issue: Should the Watergate Special Prosecutor seek an indictment of the former President?

It's two pages of a three-page document made for the Watergate Special Prosecutor in August 1974, after Richard Nixon resigned and before President Ford pardoned him. (On the third page, one more item is added to the pro-indictment list, as well as a new category, "delay decision.")

The Special Prosecutor's Office was established by Executive Order in May 1973.
