NEW Our Government in Hiding NEW Minnesota
What would happen if a catastrophe
or nuclear attack killed our
president and most of the leaders
of government? Who would be
in charge? Where would they be
located? How would the country
function? Explore the history of
plans for such an event, beginning
way back in 1776, through WWII and
today. You'll learn about the bunkers,
the plans for succession (not always
what you think), the practice drills
being held every year, and who will
be saved and who is considered
expendable if the unthinkable
happens. Kathy Simmer
