[Afrikaans, after(Witwaters)rand.
 Corp.'s new headquarters ("Rand Ready for Moving Experience--Into Its New Digs," Oct. 4) erroneously er·ro·ne·ous  
adj.
Containing or derived from error; mistaken: erroneous conclusions.



[Middle English, from Latin err
 states that the new building "contains few security measures Noun 1. security measures - measures taken as a precaution against theft or espionage or sabotage etc.; "military security has been stepped up since the recent uprising"
security
 beyond those at the old offices." In fact, it contains state-of-the-art systems that are highly effective, but are by design not readily apparent to a visitor. We cannot discuss these in any detail because to do so would give those trying to breach our security system valuable information.

The article also erroneously states that Rand has a "long history of research for the defense industry." In fact, Rand has never done any research whatsoever for the defense industry--a term referring to businesses working in the defense field--and we do not do so as a matter of corporate policy. We do research on national security matters for the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area.  Department of Defense, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army.
