WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and other top federal officials huddled Tuesday in the wake of the terrorist attacks. The Federal Emergency Management Agency opened its operation center to respond to the attacks.
FEMA officials did not disclose any details of its plan, other to say that they were working with the White House, FBI and other agencies.
At the Pentagon, spokesman Glenn Flood said all the Defense Department's leaders were safe, including Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Senior officials staffed the agency's National Military Command Center, a secure room at the Pentagon. Rumsfeld and other top officials left the building and are at an undisclosed location.
``We have contingency plans and that's all I can say,'' Flood said.
