Mt. Weather, VA - THE SNAKE ...
Take a look at Mt. Weather in northwest Virginia. It´s the FEMA headquarters and is the designated
location for the continuity of government. It´s close to DC, there´s an underground rail running to
the base there, it´s got armed guards at the gate. It´s hardened to withstand a direct nuclear strike
on the mountain. You won´t be finding any floorplans for Mt. Weather on the internet. Few Americans,


indeed, few Congressional representatives -- are aware of the existence of Mount Weather, a mysterious
underground military base carved deep inside a mountain near the sleepy rural town of Bluemont, Virginia,
near the border with West Virginia, just 46 miles from Washington DC. Mount Weather -- also known as the
Western Virginia Office of Controlled Conflict Operations -- is buried not just in hard granite, but in secrecy as well.
Mount Weather contains a working duplicate of the Executive Branch of the Federal government, ready to swing into
action at a moment´s notice. Mount Weather personnel also maintain a database of information on U.S. citizens.

From Pure Pursuit ...
In the words of one PP reader: "Wow. I can’t believe that Fox News had the guts to do
this.…it’s about time!  Wonderful, it should be played every day till the American
public wakes up. If you are not a regular watcher of Fox News then you may have
missed this retort by Neil Cavuto. It is an excellent (3 minute) response
to the contradictory occupant of the White House."

MOUNT WEATHER DOCUMENTS
Before and After the Cuban Missile Crisis

posted by Bill Geerhart



“No cleaning or pressing facilities are available”
Excerpt from “Interim Standing Operating Procedures for Emergency Use of the Classified Location” (1962) [1]

“…we have the capability of producing special entertainment ‘shows’ and releasing them over our own closed circuit Channel 2…”
Excerpt from “Special Facilities Preparedness” (1962) [2]




INTRODUCTION

As regular readers of this blog are all too aware CONELRAD has spent much of its twelve year existence trying to unearth documents related to Mount Weather (aka High Point, aka the Special Facility, aka the Classified Location, aka the Protected Facility) - the massive underground government bunker located forty-eight miles west of Washington, D.C. This never ending quest is in service of our ultimate goal of finding and publishing the Arthur Godfrey Doomsday Message, a tape or film that the famed broadcaster reportedly recorded in the 1950s to be played in the event of a nuclear war. This recording, along with one by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, is said to have been stored in a vault at Mount Weather for years.

In June we posted a heavily redacted memo from 1957 entitled “Functions to be Performed at High Point” that was, to put it mildly, something of a letdown. The aforementioned document had nothing to do with the popular personality’s end-of-the-world tape and added very little to the knowledge base of the mysterious super shelter (thanks to all those black splotches). While the documents presented in this post may have only passing relevance to the search for the Godfrey message, they are completely uncensored and highly entertaining.



Before we proceed, we would like to thank historian David Krugler for sharing these textual gems with us. If you have not read Professor Krugler’s book This Is Only A Test: How Washington D.C. Prepared for Nuclear War, you should because it is perhaps the best history of early Cold War Continuity of Government planning available.



Interim Standing Operating Procedures for Emergency Use of the Classified Location
http://www.scribd.com/doc/64024466/Interim-Standing-Operating-Procedures-for-Emergency-Use-of-the-Classified-Location



A month before the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, Mount Weather, the crown jewel of the Federal Relocation Arc, received a timely and thorough paperwork update. The declassified fifteen-page “Interim Standing Operating Procedures for Emergency Use of the Classified Location” reads like the driest of employee handbooks, but it is quite informative. And because the document is describing a Strangelovian World War III refuge complete with its own censorship department, it transcends its original purpose to become a grand work of unintentional humor.

“Interim Standing Operating Procedures” begins with the basics such as definitions, roles, responsibilities, capabilities, etc. and then goes on to detail the available television and radio resources (of particular interest because the Godfrey message would presumably require a delivery system) beginning on page 9:

'“Television and radio broadcasting studios are available for authorized programs. From these studios programs can be transmitted over a ‘closed circuit’ system (Channel 2) which confines the broadcast to the OEP Classified Location, or programs can be transmitted nationwide through hookup with the commercial networks. The television studio has the necessary facilities for broadcasting 16mm film and 35mm slides. Television programs may also be tape recorded while in progress and released at a later time.”



It is on page ten that the real fun begins with Section VII A.: Procedures Governing Entry. This section states that only “emergency assignees to the Classified Location with Top Secret Clearance” will be admitted. Those with “permanent passes” (Arthur Godfrey?) will be admitted immediately and those with temporary passes will be held for additional screening in “Building 403.” “All others will be granted admission only on authority of the Chief, Special Facility, or those authorized to act in his stead.” In other words, at the time of the missile crisis, J. Leo Bourassa (who ran Mount Weather from its opening in 1958 until 1968 and who died in 2000) must have been a very popular man.[3]



In the event that an unruly GS-7, townie or even a desperate First Lady (Bourassa stated in a 1992 interview that government spouses—even Mamie, Jackie and Lady Bird—were not welcome in the Special Facility[4]) tried to breach the perimeter, the document explains that there are “intrusion detection devices and armed guards” to prevent “unauthorized entry.”



Section VIII A announces that the cafeteria is “located in Building 15” and that the hours of operation “will be announced at the time of the emergency.” The congressional bunker underneath the Greenbrier Hotel, by contrast, had its hours posted in advance of the “emergency.”



Section VIII C cautions that dormitory space is “very limited” and that “luggage must be kept to a minimum.” The anonymous author also warns that “no cleaning or pressing facilities are available.” But, on the plus side, in the very next section it is noted that “the facility provides substantial protection from blast effects and practically total protection against other weapons effects.”



With regard to “Recreation” Section VIII F states that “very limited recreation areas are located in Building 17 of the Protected Facility and in such other areas as might from time to time be available.” This situation is greatly improved upon in Document 2.

Special Facilities Preparedness: November 29, 1962

http://www.scribd.com/doc/64024184/Special-Facilities-Preparedness-November-29-1962




A little over a month after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Robert Y. Phillips, Director, Government Readiness Office, wrote this memorandum to Colonel Justice M. Chambers, Deputy Director, Office of Emergency Planning.[5] The missile scare had clearly placed a renewed emphasis on the services Mount Weather should be able to provide its occupants for a prolonged stay.

After some old business
http://www.scribd.com/doc/64015586/1962-Letter-RE-Use-of-Marine-Corps-Schools-Quantico-Virginia-for-Emergency-Services  regarding the leveraging of the Marine Corps Schools, Quantico[6] (this section is notable in that it actually names the Chief of the Special Facility, “Mr. Bourassa,” but does not identify his role) and the lack of “Chaplains” assigned to Mount Weather, Phillips launches into a detailed description of the new recreational amenities at the site. In addition to the horseshoes, golf driving range (indoor) and barbells (2 sets), etc., Phillips points out that the Special Facility is equipped to offer “organized calisthenics” and can also produce “special entertainment ‘shows’” for broadcast over “closed circuit Channel 2 (TV).”



The next section of the document announces that “there are six individuals among personnel now assigned to the Special Facility who have barbering skills” and that “three barber kits have been obtained.”



Phillips wraps up his memo with the matter-of-fact announcements of separate “detention rooms” being “readied” for men and women and the installation of washers and dryers. Were the detention rooms the result of a “lesson learned” from the emotional stress of the Cuban Missile Crisis? And if Mount Weather was even activated during the crisis was it, as Robert F. Kennedy (Steven Culp) suggests in Thirteen Days (2000), used primarily as a tool “for morale”?[7]

We do not know, but we look forward to finding and sharing more declassified Mount Weather
documents and, someday, the Arthur Godfrey Doomsday Message

Specifically, Dobbs writes: “Over the last few days, the staff had been receiving packages of instructions telling them what to do and where to go in an emergency. Top aides…received pink identification cards, which meant they would accompany the president to an underground bunker…”

This is a groundbreaking audio interview conducted in the middle of the night after I received an urgent phone call from
Anthony Sanchez, author of the book on Dulce and the Greys called UFO Highway. Project Camelot had been in touch with
Anthony on and off for the past year regarding his current areas of research. We had offered to do a video interview with him
but up to this point he had not arranged for this to happen.
