Back in the early 90's the CIA had planned to move to WV; never happened obviously.

Sen. Byrd moved a bunch of federal facilities to the part of WV closest to DC. No entire departments, but significant back-office operations are there. Here's an FBI example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Criminal_Justice_Informati...

Looks like Byrd was behind the attempted CIA move, here's how that ended: http://library.cqpress.com/cqalmanac/document.php?id=cqal92-...

For context: the `Sen. Byrd` referred to above was the senator from West Virginia from 1959 to 2010. Clearly, he was trying to get federal dollars for his state.

Obviously they wouldn't move to WV and say they didn't.
