It is located about 14 km (8.7 miles) east of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, and 10 km (6.2 miles) north-northeast of Camp David, Maryland. It is also called the Raven Rock Military Complex, or simply Site R. Colloquially, the facility is known as an "underground Pentagon". Ravens Rock is also the site of a deactivated microwave terminal, which was used during the Cold War. The unit was encased in a mostly underground tower, and known as "Creed” site 6. The site was deactivated in 1977. It was connected to Site R: but, access is still restricted. Microwave Radio Terminal Site Site 6 - "Cadre/Creed" Tower History and Purpose "Site-R" is the location designator for a major US military bunker located inside Raven Rock Mountain, next to the community of Fountain Dale, near Blue Ridge Summit in Adams County Pennsylvania. The complex is also known as "the underground Pentagon," and affectionately to its personnel as "the Rock" or "the Hole" but the official name is the Alternate Joint Communications Center (AJCC). Planning for the site began in 1948. After the Soviet Union detonated its first nuclear weapon in 1949, a high priority was established for the Joint Command Post to be placed in a protected location near Washington, D.C.

    CATOCTIN MOUNTAIN PARK NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Camp Hoover: A Brief Report on the Lore of a Presidential Camp on Catoctin Mountain in the 1930s Prepared For: P. Scott Bell Chief of Resource Management Prepared By: K.C. Clay, MAIS Historian August 2018 6602 Foxville Road, Thurmont, MD 21788 | Catoctin Mountain Park | National Park Service i Abstract Confusion abounds concerning the existence of presidential retreats on Catoctin Mountain. Oral tradition insists that Hoover built a fishing camp on the mountain almost a decade prior to Roosevelt’s Shangri-La. This apparent duplication of effort is seen as a waste of taxpayer money. Instead, documental evidence indicates attempted exploitation of the federal government by a local land speculator. ii Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................ i Table of Figures ............................................................................................................................. iii Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Historiography ................................................................................................................................ 1 Discussion ....................................................................................................................................... 1 Search for a Camp ......................................................................................................................

    Camp David's Shadow

    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

Eisenhower to prepare for the upcoming Big Four summit planned for May in Paris, the first such meeting since World War II of leaders from the U.S., Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. General de Gaulle, leader of the Free French Forces resisting both the German occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy government during the war, drew a warm welcome from Washingtonians that matched an equally enthusiastic embrace the people of Paris had given General Eisenhower, the supreme commander of Allied forces in western Europe during the liberation of France, on his State visit seven months earlier. De Gaulle wrote in his memoir, “All the way from the airport to Blair House I drove beside President Eisenhower to a deafening accompaniment of cheers, sirens and brass bands, amid a forest of banners and flags.” Area police estimated that 200,000 people—many of them government workers given an extended lunch hour—crowded the airport, bridge, and streets. De Gaulle remarked that the greeting, “clearly represented something fundamental.” The next morning, de Gaulle held “a vast press conference at the National Press Club,” he reported, “where most of the questions put to me concerned the 1 projected meeting of the Big Four.” The New York Times described his performance as “relaxed and informal.” On Sunday, de Gaulle flew with Eisenhower to the president’s farm in Gettysburg.

In a March 12, 1947 speech to Congress, President Harry S. Truman requested funds to combat Soviet-supported communist subversion in Greece and Turkey. In doing so, Truman called on Congress to accept a global commitment to opposing the spread of communism. He asserted that “the free people of the world look to (the U.S.) for support in maintaining their freedom.” Known as the Truman Doctrine, his proposal set the U.S. on a new course in world events. Unlike the pre-World War II policy of “isolationism” and neutrality in world affairs, after the war the U.S. would assume world leadership lead in the military and economic resistance to the expansion of communism. www.archives.gov/legislative/resources 1 From the Cold War to Camp David: Reviewing U.S. Foreign Policy in Post-World War II Era (1948 – 1979) Center for Legislative Archives Graphic Organizer 1, Primary Source Document 2 https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/116192 President Harry S. Truman sent U.S. troops to Korea to lead the United Nations military response to an invasion by communist forces. President Harry S. Truman issued this press release on June 27, 1950 when communist North Korean troops invaded the South. Truman stated that "communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations and will now use armed invasion and war." Truman's statement signaled the start of U.S.
