No Information on Improper Behavior Reported to Company by U.S. Government;
Company Does Not Tolerate Illegal Behavior by Employees

ARLINGTON, Va., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — CACI International Inc
(NYSE: CAI) said today that with respect to the alleged improper employee
behavior toward prisoners in Iraq recently reported in the media, despite
inquiries the company thus far has received no information on the matter from
the U.S. Government. The Company continues to support the Army’s mission in
Iraq and around the world.

"CACI does not condone, tolerate or in any way endorse illegal behavior on
the part of its employees or those with whom it works with while conducting
CACI business in any circumstance at any time. In the event there is
wrongdoing on the part of any CACI employee, we will take swift action to
correct it immediately, but at this time we have no information from the U.S.
Government of any violations or wrongful behavior," said CACI Chairman,
President, and CEO Dr. J.P. (Jack) London. London continued, "At the same
time, it is also important to note that our country is at war and we recognize
that many of our employees have put themselves in harms way along with the
thousands of other brave men and women. They have dedicated their lives to
supporting our military in the effort to protect our freedom and to help gain
freedom for others. We commend their bravery, their loyalty and their hard
work." London added, "For security reasons, we do not disclose or discuss the
assignments or locations of our employees around the world. We are mindful of
the recent unfortunate deaths, mutilations and abductions of contractors in
areas of conflict. In this regard, we are highly sensitive to their well
being and to their families."

CACI said it has never seen nor has it been provided a copy of an apparent
53-page confidential study presumably written by Major General Antonio M.
Taguba in late February and apparently obtained and reported on by The New
Yorker magazine. The company said it is aware of the study only from the
extracts reported in the media. CACI said it had formally requested a copy of
the confidential report from the US Department of Defense, since the report
was apparently leaked to the media. Further, CACI said that in its
experience, the US Army has always been prompt to inform the company of any
questions or issues. CACI reiterated that it had received no information of
any pending actions against any CACI employee’s performance relating to
prisoner abuse matters.

The company further stated that one of the people reported to be an
employee in the New Yorker article about the Taguba report, is not and never
has been a CACI employee.

The company stated that its employees, many of whom are former military
personnel, are experienced individuals who have received relevant professional
training. The company has supported the US Army’s investigation since it
began several months ago at which time CACI personnel in Iraq volunteered to
be interviewed by Army officials in connection with that investigation. CACI
said it has received no information of any pending actions against any CACI
employee.

CACI stated that it has retained outside counsel to investigate actions of
company employees in connection with the allegations reported in the media.
In addition, the company reported that it is currently reviewing its worldwide
operations to assure the public and its customers that CACI continues to
maintain its high ethical standards of conduct and quality service.
