BOSTON, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- CRA Managed Care, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRAA)
announced today that, in light of its agreement to combine with OccuSystems,
Inc. (Nasdaq: OSYS) announced on April 21, 1997, CRA intends to adjourn its
Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for May 6, 1997 without taking action
on the proposals previously scheduled to be considered.  Additionally, the
Company stated that officers would not be present at the meeting to answer
questions concerning the OccuSystems transaction pending the filing of a Joint
Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to the transaction which the Company
expects will be filed shortly with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
    The Company stated that this action was being taken because the proposals
originally scheduled to be acted upon at the May 6 meeting, which included the
election of two directors, acting upon proposals to amend or adopt certain
stock option plans and the ratification of its certified public accountants
for fiscal year 1997, would effectively be superseded upon consummation of the
OccuSystems transaction.  The Company expects that the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus relating to the OccuSystems transaction will be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission shortly and that a Special Meeting
of the Stockholders to consider this transaction would likely be set for the
third quarter of 1997.
