Camp David |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A US presidential retreat 70 miles and half-an-hour by helicopter from the White House in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland. For security reasons it is marked on no American map. It was established by President Roosevelt in 1942 for the sake of his health (it is almost ten degrees Fahrenheit cooler than Washington) as well as his safety. Initially called ‘Shangri-La’, in 1953 it was renamed ‘Camp David’ by President Eisenhower after his grandson. Since the visit of the British prime minister, Winston Churchill, in May 1943, most presidents have used Camp David for summit meetings. |
