CACI REJECTS "VILE" ALLEGATIONS
BY CALIFORNIA CONTROLLER

Company Cites Westly for Political Grandstanding

Arlington, Va., July 7, 2004 -- CACI International Inc (NYSE: CAI) today said California State Controller Steve Westly is guilty of political grandstanding with vile and unsubstantiated accusations that contractors in Iraq are profiting from torture.

CACI issued the following statement in response to a press release by Mr. Westly, who yesterday cited CACI in urging the California State Teacher's Retirement Fund to halt investment in "companies looking to profit from the torture of human beings."

"CACI is appalled by yesterday's baseless, inflammatory and malicious press release by California State Controller Steve Westly. While posing as a protector of "common decency" and corporate ethics, Mr. Westly appears, in fact, to be chasing headlines for his own political benefit. He has taken an Alice-In-Wonderland approach: "Sentence first -- verdict afterwards".

"As we have said repeatedly, CACI does not condone or tolerate illegal acts or behavior by its employees and we will act quickly and forcefully in the unfortunate event the evidence shows that any of our employees acted improperly. But unlike Mr. Westly, we are waiting to see the evidence before rushing to judgment."

"It is deplorable for Mr. Westly to rush to judgment with such broad and malicious accusations while investigations are still under way. He seems to have ignored some critical facts:

  • To date, no charges have been filed against any employee of CACI or, as far as we know, any other private company in this matter.
  • No CACI employees are in any of the alarming photographs that have been published.
  • CACI is aware only of a single vague allegation, in an unreleased report that has been illegally leaked to the media, about possible misconduct by one CACI employee.
  • CACI is fully cooperating with all official inquiries.
  • CACI is also working on its own to determine the facts of the matter, and has not found any evidence of wrongdoing.

    "We agree with Mr. Westly that torture is appalling and intolerable. There is no evidence of any kind that CACI supports, condones or participates in such inappropriate conduct. Mr. Westly's attempt to brand CACI with this label is both vile and irresponsible, and contradicts the very decency he says he supports."

    "CACI has a special interest in this matter. For 42 years, CACI has proudly and successfully provided support services to government and private sector customers. At the request of the U.S. Army, it has provided a small number of qualified interrogators because the Army does not have sufficient interrogation personnel available for assignment to Iraq. CACI expects its employees to conduct themselves properly at all times and to comply with all laws and the rules of engagement."

    "Mr. Westly ignores one of America's most precious principles -- the presumption of innocence. In our country, we collect the evidence before reaching a verdict or issuing a sentence. Mr. Westly has the process backwards."
