NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 2007--L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has upheld L-3's protest in connection with the linguist contract to provide translators and linguists worldwide, including support to the U.S. military operations in Iraq. Michael T. Strianese, President and Chief Executive Officer of L-3 Communications, said, "We are obviously very pleased with the GAO's decision." During the protest, L-3 has continued to perform under its existing linguist contract and, in fact, is providing additional resources in support of the President's troop surge.
