Short thread 1. Former VP chief of staff here. I remember thinking, when I took over in the summer of 1989 as VP Quayle's chief of staff, how impatient I was with the long, detailed and hypothetical continuity of government (COG) briefings and exercises. I had work to do! — PolitiTweet.org

March 30, 1981 "Once in the Situation Room, Bush was briefed...and urged everyone to be deliberate and cautious. He next delivered a short televised statement from the press briefing room assuring the world the U.S. government was functioning." https://t.co/LvAw4BqV8m — PolitiTweet.org

2. I recall saying this in passing to someone in the White House who'd been on VP Bush's staff. He stopped me, took me into his office, and told me in some detail about March 30, 1981. He said I needed to take this seriously. Other stuff seemed urgent, but this was important. — PolitiTweet.org
