Dear Mr. Ness,

On behalf of the DFW Homeland Security Alliance, we would like to thank you for being our keynote speaker at our EXPO event banquet on Wednesday, October 22, 2003. Your speech on potential terrorism threats against the Utility/Energy industry was very well received by all in attendance.

Our day-long multiple sessions and evening banquet were very successful in also having an excellent turn out- thanks to yourself, the Honorable U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions and Tony Swansson from Boeing. I hope we may be able to call on you again for your involvement in the future with DFW Homeland Security Alliance programs.

Again, thank you again for your time and excellent presentation.

Regards,

Steven Maxwell
President
