SMITH: George Washington is buried at Mount Vernon. He was buried, originally, in a brick vault near the house and then 32 years later was moved to a larger vault down near the river. In between, there was a plan adopted by Congress to have him buried under the Rotunda of the Capitol. It was a secret plan. Mrs. Washington gave her assent on condition that she could be buried along with the general. But that never happened. But if you go to the Capitol today, you will see the room where Washington was to have been buried, and that’s where they store the catafalque, which is used in national mourning. LAMB: How many of the presidents are buried in Arlington National Cemetery? SMITH: Two. Everyone knows about JFK. Less well known is William Howard Taft. LAMB: Can any president be buried there? SMITH: Yes. Any commander-in-chief. LAMB: Any president cremated? SMITH: No, except by the press. LAMB: Any president live or buried overseas? SMITH: No. John Quincy Adams spent a great deal of time
