General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division stated in
a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the
protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination,
and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as
well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S.
