In 1984, Clarke was selected to take part in one of the most highly classified projects of the Reagan Administration . This was the secret Continuity of Government (COG) program run by the National Program Office that continued up to and after the attacks of September 11. [227] Other than Clarke, the members of the COG group included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George H.W. Bush, Kenneth Duberstein, and James Woolsey. [228] If not a formal member of the group, Oliver North reported to it and acted on its behalf. Although Cheney and Rumsfeld were not government employees throughout the twenty years that Clarke participated in this official government program, they both continued to participate. [229]
COG was developed to install a shadow "government in waiting" to replace the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Constitution in the event of a national emergency like a nuclear war. The first and only time that COG was put into action was when Richard Clarke activated it during the 9/ 11 attacks. As of 2002, that shadow government continued to be in effect as an "indefinite precaution." [230] In 1998, Clarke would revise the COG plan for use as a response to a terrorist attack on American soil. Apparently, COG and the shadow government these men created are still in play to this day. [231]
