Following the deaths of both the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart was next in line for command of the Whitespring bunker. Immediately after the bombs dropped, the survivors were horrified to discover that hard-line connections to Raven Rock and the oil rig had been lost, leaving them isolated, as impossible as that seemed. Despite all the people present in the bunker, all non-Enclave personnel who arrived were executed, including members of Congress. The rest were left to fend for themselves. Secretary of Agriculture Eckhart, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of the Treasury, and a select few other Enclave and non-Enclave members alike made it to safety, together with a number of high-ranking officers. The bunker was activated right before the Great War, when the early warning came, and the government officials that remained nearby rushed to shelter. For support, the bunker was provided with the Kovac-Muldoon, a secret satellite in geostationary orbit above Appalachia. The facility was connected to Enclave hubs across the United States - Raven Rock, the Presidential Rig, and others - with the intention of using it as a nucleus of all Enclave operations. The bunker's construction was financed by the Department of Agriculture, led by Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart, a member of the Enclave. The Enclave subverted the project early on, adapting it for their own needs. The support AI, MODUS, was a custom-built system designed to oversee the habitat, which could hold up to 200 dwellers. In order to ensure its habitability even without human workers, it was designed to be a fully automated, machine-managed refuge from nuclear war. The Congressional Bunker was built beneath the Whitespring Resort to ensure continuity of the US government by providing protection and shelter for members of Congress, the president, and the Cabinet in the case of a nuclear strike.
