Last fall, Reno strenuously objected to the proposed participation of U.S. law enforcement agencies in an operation to clear demonstrators from Vieques. That memo was then circulated to the Defense Department and the National Security Council. But Republicans, who are largely sympathetic to the bureau's concerns, were staunchly in support of the operation to remove the protesters in order to facilitate the installation's continued use a Navy training ground. Another of the director's key concerns, as described in his memo, was that FBI agents and federal marshals were ill-equipped to secure the contested area once demonstrators were removed. That worry was laid to rest when it was agreed that U.S. Marines would fulfill the responsibility of securing the facility.
