Perennial Strategies Group Leads 21st Century's FY 2005 Appropriation Effort 


LAS VEGAS, Dec. 8  /PRNewswire/ -- "We are pleased with the progress being made
by our representation in Washington, led by Perennial Strategies Group. We
expect early positive results shortly in connection with the omnibus bill
expected to be passed shortly.  The other side of our effort is seeking funding
through the appropriation process, which is different than omnibus funding.  The
next appropriation cycle will be for Fiscal Year 2005. Perennial is working both
sides of the grant/funding process for us, and we expect success from both
sides, both short-term (the omnibus process) and long-term (the appropriation
process).  We will get the necessary grants to equip our fire fighters and other
first responders. Trident Technologies expects a sharp increase in business in
short order as a result omnibus funding.  The future remains bright," said
Arland Dunn, president and CEO of 21st Century.

21st is seeking funding from the Department of Homeland Security and other
federal sources for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trident Technologies, Inc. in
order to provide Trident's rare-earth permanent magnet powered leak and rupture
sealing systems, ProMag and SeaPatch to the nation's 31,000 plus fire
departments and other first responder organizations. The devices are especially
well suited to dealing with HAZMAT spills in difficult situations. They are
already in service with many of the nation's railroads, chemical companies, fire
departments and HAZMAT first response contractors.
