In 1969, after he left the Barthe School, Buckley moved to Vienna, [[Virginia]], to work in the Nixon administration Justice Department in Washington. The job lasted well beyond Nixon's tenure — for thirteen years during four presidential administrations. While in the Justice Department, Buckley was president of the Westbriar Civic Association and was elected to the Vienna Town Council in 1976. He served five two-year terms through 1986. His tenure with the Occupational and Safety Commission spanned the last seven years of the Reagan administration.
