Dear Mrs. Maloney:
This is a follow-up response to your letter of July
31, 2001, which forwarded correspondence from your
constituent, President of Georal,
contacted your office for assistance with respect to his
interest in marketing the GIL-2001 system, a patented
entrance securit s stem, to the Central intelligence
Agency (CIA). has now contacted this office in
this regard.
According to a representative of Georal, one of the
company's security door systems is currently being tested
and certified for use by the Department of State. Because
of the CIA's interest in keeping abreast of current
developments with respect to both existing and emerging
security products, we have asked that Georal advise the
Agency once the report of the final test results has been
completed. CIA will then request a copy of that report
from Georal or the Department of State, as appropriate.
Because this office does not correspond directly with
constituents, I am taking the liberty of asking you to
forward this response to Please feel free to
contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Re Request for Meeting regarding the GIL-2001 Security Door System
Our company is the premier manufacturer of a patented entrance security system One of the
most important and unique features of our system is that it is non-confrontational. We have been
in business since 1Q82 providing secure access for government and commercial facilities not only
in the United States. but also abroad.
Of potential interest to you is that we have a GSA number (#GS-07F-0433K) and a patent
pending (#601104, 874) with an international patent application (#US 99/03218) for our product.
The door is the only security door approved by the FAA for egress and the U.S State Department
for domestic use In order to certify the doors for international use by their agency the U S. State
Department has scheduled two additional tests for next month.
Attached for your convenience is a brief product statement. Presently we are under contract with
the City of New York for 44 doors at various facilities. In addition we have installed doors at the
main finance facility at Citibank, at O'Hare Airport. at Newark Airport and at Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, just to name a few. Besides the United States we have also installed the
Georal 2001 system at various locations in Europe and Australia.
communications company. Arrangements can be made for a site visit to this facility at your
convenience

We would like the opportunity to present the GIL-2001 system to the person in charao efah)

I tried to call you back but kept getting a circuit busy message. I
assume
the phone lines are a little busy up there.
There has been no change in the project. The customer has not done
anything
about funding the requirement or looking at options. They are waiting
for
the tenant to come up with money for the architectural review before
anything-goes forward.
As I mentioned before, we have been asked not to do anything. about
generating lists of requirements until the customer figures out what
they
want and intend to pay for it. We will give you a call when that
happens.
