Its entirely possible the US Government started to create more in the way of a Fallback position for its own rebuilding, but priority's were made and certain projects went to the top of the list. Its entirely possible that the President, Congress, Joint Chiefs, and several other agency's also had Bolt Holes built for them. The difference is those people who would occupy them wouldn't go into the freeze until the end was nigh, while Snake Eaters (they would want the best), and maybe some other military personnel could be approached and volunteer and then enter cryo ahead of time. There might be bunkers empty except for supply's and unused Cryotubes all around the continental United States set up for so-called important government personnel that were never used because the people who were to use them got caught in the attacks and ended up living or dying in the aftermath.
It might be interesting to come up with a operational US Government Plan to deal with the aftermath of a known nuclear attack with the use of usable cryo tech. I could easily see the planners giving importance to getting people into safety who would be useless in a rebuilding period, storing equipment and tools in salt mines, and then putting in equipment for security after the fact. And then when the event happens nothing being ready but the stuff that was easiest to set up and the stuff that took the least amount of effort.
