LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2003--Early reports received from Washington D.C. and Peoria, Illinois indicate imminent favorable results from the Department of Homeland Security regarding the upcoming $34 million dollar Federal Grant. 21st Century Technologies, Inc.'s (OTCBB:TFCT - News) representatives have received very positive feedback from the results of their visits with the Department of Homeland Security and the offices of Congressman Ray LaHood (R.-Ill.). 21st Century is seeking Homeland Security funding to provide the nation's 31,000 fire departments (both professional and volunteer) with ProMag rare-earth permanent magnet-powered leak and rupture sealing systems.
