It would be very helpful if you could tell us more about the ad. Do
you have any idea of the subject matter?

It was a political message add outlining what the policy of the US
should be vis a vis foreign policies, more specificaly the Middle
East, maybe terrorism and Irak

Through my local public library, I have access to the New York Times
archive (including advertisements).

In the last ten years, I could find only one full-page ad signed by
Rumsfeld (about Bosnia in 1994) and two signed by Cheney (about China
in 1998 and national parks in 1999).

Are you sure that Rumsfeld and/or Cheney were signers of the ad you
read? Alternatively, could it have been a newspaper other than the New
York Times?

Do you remember any other individuals who signed the ad?

No, I do not remember the other signors on the add and I am not sure
Cheney AND Rumsfeld signed it  They were a group a neo conservatives
that we find now in the Bush administration. I do not think it is as
old as 1994, but Bosnia is the closest to the subject of the add.It
was during the Clinton's Adminstration
It could have been published in other papers simultaneously, such as
the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post.Sorry i can't more of
help on that one

Could it have been a 1998 full-page ad about Kosovo and Slobodan
Milosevic?  Such a letter was signed by some prominent
"neoconservatives" now in the Bush Administration (e.g., Paul
Wolfowitz).

That's sounds right. I am pretty sure now that Wolfowitz was part of it...
Do you know how to get that page?

Hi,

The full-page ad signed by Paul Wolfowitz appeared on page WK15 of The
New York Times on September 20, 1998.

The ad, entitled "Mr President, Milosevic is the Problem," may be
downloaded from the New American Century web site:
http://www.newamericancentury.org/balkans_pdf_04.pdf

(This document is in PDF format, so the Adobe Acrobat Reader is
required. If you don't have that, visit:

Some of the same "neoconservatives" signed another full-page ad,
entitled "NATO Must Act in Kosovo," that ran in the New York Times on
January 29, 1999, on page A19.  That ad may also be downloaded from
the New American Century web site:
http://www.newamericancentury.org/balkans_pdf_03.pdf

I hope this helps.  Thank you

And thanks to my fellow researcher Mathtalk-ga for his assistance on this question.

This did not get me to  the add I was looking for, but considering my
memory, it was a difficult task to get  the right one. What it does
tho is give me a direction for further research on my own. So thank
you very much
