CIVILIAN DEFENSE

President Darden reported that he had received a letter from Civilian Defense officials
requesting that Mary Washington College be designated as an evacuation center for the city of
Washington in case of atomic attack. The President stated that he had advised the officials that
the decision rested with the Governor, who would have to fit the request in with the needs of the
State.
