This was Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn’s philosophy in the late 1950s when they built their 112,544-square-foot Congressional doomsday bunker 720 feet underground in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, concealed beneath a posh Gilded Age resort called The Greenbrier. The bunker’s construction and operation was covered by a series of code names: Project X, Project Casper, and Project Greek Island.
