Several prominent officials cut the ribbon including Rep.

The luminaries in attendance included Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-Va.) and Joseph Persichini Jr., the head of the FBI Washington field office.
When the location was first announced, some agents privately complained that the office was too far out. But officials defended the move, saying they needed a location with a greater setback from the street in the Post 9/11 era. The previous Northern Virginia office was in congested Tysons Corner.
