The Diplomatic Security Service and the U.S. Marshals Service would offer the Turkish Embassy any assistance it needed in bringing to and from the airport to have them leave the United States. During this intervening time, the FBI, DSS, and D.C. Police would maintain an active presence outside of the Embassy to protect it and ensure that no one in the embassy attempted to go anywhere other than to the airport. Patrol vehicles would be on the standby to escort any vehicle that left the embassy.
