VIENNA, Va., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- GRC International's (NYSE: GRH)
office in Santa Barbara, Calif., has been notified by the Defense Security
Service that it is the recipient of the 1999 Department of Defense James S.
Cogswell Award.
The Cogswell Award is presented annually by the Department of Defense

classified contracts. Additionally, a contractor facility must demonstrate a
sustained degree of excellence in achieving security requirements, and receive
endorsements from principal government customers, high-level NISP officials
and others.
The facility must also excel in the following award criteria: 1) Improve
security performance, practices and capabilities by encouraging the
implementation and maintenance of appropriate and cost-effective security
measures; 2) Facilitate communications and sharing of best practices
information among the security community; and 3) Serve as a working tool for
understanding and managing performance planning, training and assessment.
Receiving this award is the result of a team effort that includes top
management, the security staff and the entire facility work force. This is the
ninth time GRC International has received this prestigious award.
