TRUTH !!
Project Greek Island, otherwise known as "Hotel Armageddon" was set up as the emergency, supersecret hideaway for the President and Congress should the country be under attack.
In an extraordinary bit of government back scratching the Eisenhower Administration, via the Architect of the Capitol, negotiated to build the structure on the grounds of the Greenbrier Hotel; a five star resort located five hours out of Washington in White Sulphur Springs, W. VA.
In exchange for government financing of the Greenbrier's West Virginia Wing addition, the hotel permitted the simultaneous construction of the shelter beneath it. This provided the initial cover story for the digging of the congressional hideaway. Ground was broken in 1957 and the Greenbrier employee newsletter noted the occasion by "informing" staff that "testing" was being conducted for the new wing. It was kept secret until May of 1992.
