Mr. William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, DC 20505
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the
Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring Company, located in Cincinnati,
Ohio.
The company was established in 1876, and is the oldest
and largest armored car manufacturer in the world. With good
reason, its 81 managers and workers pride themselves on the
fact that they, have been the chosen suppliers of armored
sedans for the last nine United States Presidents beginning
with President Harry Truman. Hess & Eisenhardt can also claim
as its clients over 25 Heads-of-State, and over 100 cabinet-
level ministers and ambassadors around the world, as well as
U.S. Government agencies such as the Central Intelligence
Agency, the State Department and the Department of Defense.
Their impressive record of achievement has been attained
through research on and development of proprietary ballistic
materials which, when combined with the various skills of
Hess & Eisenhardt craftsmen, results in the manufacture of,
armored sedans which offer full protection from weapons likely
to be directed against occupants.
Given this tradition of achievement and excellence, I
highly commend Hess & Eisenhardt to you for consideration in
filling any vehicle armoring needs you may have in-the future.
Best regards.
Sincerely, JG/cbw
John Glenn
