I think you'll find that Area 34 refers to the launch site at Cape Canaveral (e.g. 34A, 34B etc), rather than any secret rocket development location.

I find it interesting to hear that they are developing a new heavy lift rocket, especially when the new Titan IV and the Russian Proton rockets are amply capable heavy lifters, both of which use re-usable boosters and other parts now to reduce costs. Are you sure it wasn't the 'Titan V' they were referring to?

Andre...can you confirm any of this and add any insights you might have?
