`
`Dear Sir,
`
`The United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) congratulates Malaysia
`as the first nation in the world _to use sophisticated high~tecl1 “chip” technology in the
`production of the Malaysian Passport
`
`The cooperative effort between Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia and Malaysials own IRIS
`Technologies (NI) Sdn. Bhd., has led to the production of one of the most secure
`passports in the world today.
`'
`
`The INS is interested in both facilitating the entry into the United States of all legitimate
`travelers, while at the same time preventing the illegal entry of persons who are
`undesirable or have not obtained thenecessary. documents to enter the U.S. As such, we
`have embarked in a program with IRIS Technologies to pilot test your verification system
`using “passport” chip readers at selected U.S. ports of entry. In cooperation with
`Itnigrcsen Malaysia, IRIS Technologies, Malaysia
`and other concerned parties,
`we hope to further facilitate the entry of thousands of Malaysian travelers going to the ‘
`United States, as well as further verify the quality and" security of your new passports.
`
`In order to properly demonstrate the capacity of the verification system, INS requests that
`Irnigresen Malaysia issue approximately eight to ten Malaysian passports that have been
`produced through the exact process used to issue new Malaysian “chip" passports. In this
`way, INS officers who demonstrate the IRIS Electronic Travel Docunient can state that
`the “sarnple-" passport used is actually one issued by the Malaysian government.

`
`F.u.r1.herrnore, to overcorneany concerns about the misuse of these sarnple passports, we I
`propose that the same photograph and fingerprints be used on each passport, and that
`each passport contain different erroneous biogzraphicirzforrnation that clearly make the _
`passports invalid for travel" (e._g. “SAM'PLE" placed on face page). Of course, INS will
`rrlalce every effort to secure and control these passports.
`'
`INS will also be happy to supply the aforementioned photographs, fingerprints, and any
`other biographical data necessary, as well as pay for any admirlistrative costs associated
`with this request (e.g. standard fee for issuance of 8-10 passports @ 300RMfper
`passport).
`
`I
`
`"l‘l-rank you ahead of time for your concern in this matter. I look forward to meeting with
`you in the near future in order to discuss this request, as well as any other matters of
`mutual concern.
