John Conyers (202.225.5126) reveals that he doesn't know what it is.

White House Directive 51
(White House)

This directive establishes a comprehensive national policy on the continuity of Federal Government structures and operations and a single National Continuity Coordinator responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of Federal continuity policies. This policy establishes "National Essential Functions," prescribes continuity requirements for all executive departments and agencies, and provides guidance for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and private sector organizations in order to ensure a comprehensive and integrated national continuity program that will enhance the credibility of our national security posture and enable a more rapid and effective response to and recovery from a national emergency.

Hitler Directive Number 51 (yes, we're recycling Nazi directives)
(Encyclopedia Britannica)

In this directive, issued in late 1943, the German leader formally responded to concerns caused by the ominous buildup of Allied forces in the British Isles. Hitler displayed here his tendency to issue detailed orders far below the strategic level, and he divided responsibility for military operations among the land, air, and naval commanders, who would answer not to a theatre commander but ultimately to himself. Such interference and rigid control contributed to the military debacle of the Normandy campaign in June-August 1944.
