AHC: Government Survival Plan 1978

It’s 1978 and the Cold War just went hot! Of course it ended with a nuclear bang. So my challenge to you is to come up with a plane that that would let the United States survive. Assume you are in a government committee in 1976 made to design and implement this plan.
 
When you say "let the United States survive" are you talking about providing protection for the civilian population or just ensuring continuity of government? If it's the latter, they've already got plans for that. In the case of the former, providing a shelter system (or even an adequate evacuation plan) in just two years is probably out of the question. Ten years, maybe.
 
Also, what kind of exchange do you have in mind? Are we talking a show-we're-serious city exchange, a la John Hackett; a limited counterforce strike; or a full countervalue exchange?

The continuity of the American Government is the main priority with protection of the civilian population a close second.

Nuclear silos and Airforce installations are targeted first with cities targeted secondly.
