Although the Phase I(aug 99) report does not mention preemption it certainly points out that prevention and deterrence will not be effective in the 21st century.

The phase II report(april 2000) plainly states:

"The magnitude of the danger posed by WMD compels this nation to consider carefully the means and circumstances of preemption"

This passage is to be found in the first paragraph on page 9 of the Phase II report.
