    The Department of State produced more than 18 million U.S. passports in
the past year. Passport production for 2008 is estimated to be
significantly higher, due primarily to increased demand as a result of the
Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI). With the award of this
contract, Stanley will continue its key role supporting the Department of
State and providing timely services to the American public.

    "Stanley is honored to continue its support services to the Department
of State," said Phil Nolan, Stanley's chairman, president and CEO. "We will
dedicate all resources necessary to assist Passport Services during this
time of unprecedented growth and increasing demand resulting from the
WHTI."

    "For more than 15 years, Stanley and our team members have had the
privilege of supporting our customer's critical mission," added Paul
Belanger, Stanley senior vice president. "This award is a testament to the
dedicated customer service that our employees provide to the Department of
State and we look forward to supporting Passport Services over the next
five years under this contract."

    This contract award follows Stanley's announcement in December 2007
that it had begun construction of a secure passport production center in
Tucson, Ariz., expected to begin operations in spring 2008. The Tucson
Passport Center and an existing facility in Hot Springs, Ark., opened in
March 2007, were authorized under a 10-year Department of State contract in
October 2006, initially valued at $164 million. Stanley oversees operations
and the printing, quality control and mailing of U.S. passports and other
travel documents at these locations.

    The company began its relationship with the Department of State in 1992
when it assisted in establishing the National Passport Center in
Portsmouth, N.H. Since that time, Stanley has expanded its services to
support passport operations at all 18 locations nationwide.
