The quake prompted evacuations of office buildings and the precautionary closing of monuments in the nation's capital. The arrival or Hurricane Irene pushed this news event to the back pages. However, the Administration did not forget the quake. They have the best scientific minds studying it. To date all they know is it happened on a previously unknown fault. Realizing there could be further activity at any time, steps are being taken to assure a fast and adequate response should such happen. Since the activity spot is no longer unknown, one of the first steps was to give it a name. From now on it will be known as Bush’s Fault.
