The president was secreted between military installations, in what former President Clinton said was part of a Secret Service and military plan to keep the president safe. Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., is the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Command, which controls U.S. nuclear weapons. There, Bush convened a National Security Council meeting by teleconference. He was then to return to Washington.
