Transportation Chief Quits, Citing 'Other

Challenges'
By MATTHEW L. WALD; DAVID STOUT CONTRIBUTED REPORTING FOR THIS ARTICLE.
Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta, who has served longer than anyone else now in
the cabinet, announced Friday that he was resigning effective July 7.
In a letter to President Bush dated Tuesday, Mr. Mineta, 74, did not give his reasons for
leaving, other than to say simply that ''it is time for me to move on to other challenges.''
The White House press secretary, Tony Snow, said Mr. Mineta was resigning ''because he
wanted to.''
A spokesman for Mr. Mineta, Robert Johnson, said that ''the timing has everything to do with
what he sees as potential opportunities outside public life, and nothing whatsoever with
anything going on in Congress or the administration.''
''There's no such thing as 'retirement' in Norm Mineta's vocabulary,'' Mr. Johnson said, ''and
that's certainly the case in this situation.''
Maria Cino, deputy transportation secretary, will serve as acting secretary pending
confirmation of a successor.
Mr. Mineta led his department through the Sept. 11 crisis and helped oversee creation of the
Transportation Security Administration, which later became part of the Department of
Homeland Security. He also helped lay the groundwork for privatizing highways and other
transportation assets. Commercial airline safety has greatly improved during his time in office,
and the death rate on the highways has fallen.
Two goals that he did not achieve, however, were a restructuring of Amtrak and government
permission for a higher level of foreign investment in airlines. His proposal to allow foreign
control of airlines was decisively defeated in the House last week, although the issue remains
before Congress.

With Mr. Mineta's departure, only two of President Bush's original cabinet secretaries are still
on the job: Elaine L. Chao, secretary of labor, and Donald H. Rumsfeld, secretary of defense.
But he has been in the cabinet longer than either of them. A Democrat, he served as
commerce secretary for the last six months of Bill Clinton's presidency. Mr. Bush, in a gesture
of bipartisanship after winning the 2000 election with a minority of the popular vote, kept him
on, as transportation secretary, joking at the time that Mr. Mineta was not joining the cabinet
so much as the cabinet was joining him.
As an American citizen of Japanese descent, Mr. Mineta was sent to an internment camp along
with his family during World War II. He became mayor of San Jose, Calif., in 1971 and then
represented that area in Congress for 21 years.
He was chairman of the powerful Public Works and Transportation Committee in 1992-94 but
resigned his House seat 10 months after the Republicans gained control in the 1994 elections.
He lists high among his accomplishments in Congress the adoption of a 1988 bill that offered
an official apology to Japanese-Americans interned during the war. He served in the House
with Dick Cheney, who as vice president-elect called to offer him the role of transportation
secretary.
Mr. Mineta was the first Asian-American cabinet secretary. He was the 14th secretary of
transportation, and the longest-serving of them.
He was also only the fourth person to serve in the cabinet of presidents of different parties.
James R. Schlesinger was Richard M. Nixon's defense secretary and Jimmy Carter's energy
secretary; Henry L. Stimson was secretary of war under William H. Taft, secretary of state
under Herbert Hoover, and secretary of war under Franklin D. Roosevelt; and Edwin M.
Stanton was attorney general in the administration of James Buchanan and secretary of war
for Abraham Lincoln.
Mr. Mineta had hip replacement surgery in 2002 at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center, and
worked from there for some weeks as he recuperated. But since then he has intermittently
toured the country to campaign for various legislative initiatives, notably the reorganizing of
Amtrak, which he insisted could not keep on expecting subsidies. Congress, however,
disagreed.
James H. Burnley IV, who served Ronald Reagan as deputy transportation secretary and then
secretary, said in a telephone interview that he did not know why Mr. Mineta had decided to
resign but that ''you do get tired of it, in the sense that if you stay long enough you start
seeing the same issues come back.''

Mr. Burnley said one of the accomplishments for which Mr. Mineta would be remembered was
last year's passage of a Transportation Department reauthorization bill, which laid the
groundwork for leasing roads to private companies that would operate them and collect tolls.
''Every major investment bank in this country,'' Mr. Burnley said, ''is setting up an
infrastructure fund.''

TANKER DEAL: AIR FORCE GOES WITH NORTHROP/EADS

TEAM APPEAL POSSIBLE: GREGOIRE TO CONFER WITH
AEROSPACE EXECS AT BOEING, SHOCK - AND THEN ANGER
OUTCRY OVER HUGE CONTRACT LOSS TAKES ON A TONE OF
NATIONALISM
BYLINE: STEWART M. POWELL, ERIC ROSENBERG, CRAIG HARRIS AND JAMES WALLACE P-I

SECTION: NEWS; Pg. A1
LENGTH: 2231 words
The Air Force on Friday delivered a shock to storied American airplane

builder The Boeing Co. by choosing a team of Northrop Grumman Corp. and Airbus
parent EADS to build a new fleet of air-to-air refueling tankers - a contract
potentially worth $100 billion.
Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne's surprise announcement at the Pentagon set
the stage for the next phase of a high-stakes struggle and coming debate likely
to be framed in terms of economic nationalism.
Sue Payton, the Air Force official responsible for acquisition, acknowledged
that Boeing could file a formal protest over the initial $35 billion contract
decision, provoking a protracted investigation that might delay production of
the first 179 tankers.
Congress also may take a look at the deal, which is expected to have the
first new air-to-air tanker operational by 2013.
In a statement after the Air Force announcement at the Pentagon, Boeing

spokesman William Barksdale said: "Obviously we are very disappointed with this
outcome. Once we have reviewed the details behind the award, we will make a
decision concerning our possible options, keeping in mind at all times the
impact to the warfighter and our nation."
Barksdale gave no indication whether Boeing would file a formal protest.
Air Force Gen. Arthur Lichte, commander of the Air Mobility Command that
flies the tanker fleet, sought to rebut anticipated criticism that the Air Force
has chosen a French-based aircraft maker over a major American company.
Referring to the EADS-Northrop model, Lichte told reporters at the Pentagon

briefing: "This is an American tanker. It's flown by American airmen. It has a
big American flag on the tail, and every day, it'll be out there saving American
lives."
Lichte said the aircraft, based on the Airbus 330-200 commercial passenger
airliner, was twice the size of the Boeing aircraft, providing more tanker
capacity, more passenger space if converted to air transport, and more space for
patients if converted to the aero-evacuation mission.
"From my perspective, I can sum it up in one word - more," Lichte said.
The Pentagon briefers - two civilians and two generals - did not mention the
name of Toulouse, France-based Airbus during their comments but instead referred
to the winner as Northrop Grumman, the Los Angeles-based partner.
`A sad day for Boeing'
Workers at Boeing's Everett plant, where the tanker would have been built
based on Boeing's twin-engine 767 jetliner, were stunned and angry.
David Muellenbach, a 12-year Boeing employee doing quality-assurance work on

the 767 line, said of the decision: "It is a shock. It's a sad day for Boeing.
What can we do?"
Gov. Chris Gregoire and other Washington politicians expressed great

disappointment in the Air Force's decision. The governor earlier in the week
raised the possibility of a congressional inquiry or a formal legal protest if
Boeing lost.
A spokesman for the governor Friday said she was going to reserve judgment
until she personally spoke with Boeing executives and meets with the
congressional delegation.
"Until we know a little more why Boeing lost we can't make any further
comments," said Mike Gowrylow, a governor's spokesman.
Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., a senior member of the House panel that oversees
military spending, predicted "a firestorm of criticism about this decision." He
said many lawmakers "don't want Airbus building this plane."
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., told reporters she was "frustrated, angry and in
shock at this announcement."
The state's senior senator said she couldn't understand the choice of giving
a massive contract to a foreign-based business, considering that the U.S. is
teetering on a recession.
"You can put an American sticker on a plane and call it American, but you
can't call it American made. They are clearly going to be made overseas, and
that is a factor we all have to be thinking about, whether we want American
planes built overseas."
Murray said Boeing will be debriefed by the Air Force later this month on why
it lost out, and the company could then appeal the decision. The Government
Accountability Office then has 100 days to examine the appeal, Murray said. She
said it was premature to speculate on a congressional inquiry, but added, "We
Page 3
clearly want to be supportive of Boeing and find out the facts."
Huge win for Alabama
Northrop and the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. are offering an
Airbus A330 jet that would be modified into a tanker at a factory to be built in
Mobile, Ala. EADS recently announced that it would also assemble A330 commercial
freighters in Mobile if it won the tanker competition. That would boost the
company's U.S. footprint, help it with the Airbus bottom line and gain the
European defense giant more powerful friends in Congress.
Although Boeing was considered the heavy favorite, Northrop and its
supporters, especially politicians in Alabama, argued that the bigger Airbus
plane, to be called the KC-45A, would make a superior tanker to the 767 offered
by Boeing.
Business leaders and politicians in Mobile say that the win will turn the
region into an aerospace hub on par with Seattle.
The Gulf Coast city of about 200,000 people will have to provide a work force
of 1,200 aerospace engineers, assembly workers and designers. That does not
include Airbus' existing engineering center in Mobile, which has 65 people and
is trying to ramp up to 150 employees by 2009.
When asked to characterize the sentiment in the office Friday, Mobile Area
Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Leigh Perry-Herndon said: "Oh my gosh, I mean,
joy, elation, surprise, excitement. There's so much happening here and the news
just keeps getting better and better and better; you almost have to pinch
yourself."
Many of the roads and buildings needed to accommodate the tanker program in
Alabama do not yet exist. The city and Mobile County have dedicated about $25
million in incentives and infrastructure improvements, contingent on Northrop
winning the contract, Mobile Mayor Sam Jones said.
"This is really a community-changing announcement for us," he said.
The decision also is a boost to EADS in establishing a key foothold in the

global tanker market. EADS has won several international tanker competitions, in
which the A330 was picked over the 767, but the total orders for its tanker had
been small. The U.S. Air Force has nearly 600 tankers, more than double the
number in the rest of the world combined.
Boeing has enjoyed a monopoly on building tankers for the U.S. military.
Before the jet age and the KC-135, Boeing supplied the U.S. military with a
tanker based on its B-29 bomber.
Analysts who monitor Boeing said the Air Force's decision was a huge blow to
the Chicago-based company and its shareholders.
"As a result of this decision, we are looking at the end of the road for the
767 line in the near future because commercial demand for that plane has waned
fairly rapidly," said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst with the Lexington
Institute, a public policy think tank
Thompson said the loss will lead investors to question the company's
Page 4
management, and he added that the decision will "provide a political firestorm
among Boeing supporters on Capitol Hill."
He said the decision to have Northrop and EADS build the new tanker would be
difficult to overturn if an appeal occurred.
Richard Aboulafia of the Teal Group in Fairfax, Va., said the decision was
not "what anyone expected" because Boeing had the home team and incumbent
advantage. He said there is very little historical precedent that a protest
would result in overturning an award.
Scott Hamilton, an analyst with Issaquah-based Leeham Co., called the Air
Force's decision a "big blow" to Boeing's prestige and ego, and predicted a
congressional inquiry or appeal. But Hamilton said the decision won't have a
major financial impact on the company.
In after-hours trading, shares of Northrop rose about 6 percent to $83.40

while Boeing's shares fell close to 4 percent to $79.75. Mark McGraw, vice
president of Boeing's tanker program, said several weeks ago that if Boeing
lost, it would be out of the tanker business "for quite some time." Boeing would
likely close down its 767 line once the remaining commercial jets on order are
completed around 2012. But once the line closes, workers likely would be shifted
to other programs, which is what happened when Boeing ended production of the
757.
Years to finalize
Northrop Grumman Chairman Ronald Sugar said the firm's "vast expertise" would
give the Air Force "the most capable and versatile tanker ever built," adding
that the aircraft "will be a game changer."
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., hailed the Air Force decision as "the right
decision for our military," adding: "Bringing these jobs to Alabama will
solidify our stellar reputation as an industrial leader and send a strong
message to the rest of the world: Alabama is open for business."
The promise of a tanker contract worth tens of billions of dollars - perhaps

up to $100 billion if the Air Force replaces its entire current tanker fleet
with new jets - has taken years to play out, and had a little of everything,
from defense rivals Boeing and EADS trading trans-Atlantic punches to a
procurement scandal that reached into Boeing's corporate offices.
In its quest to replace its Eisenhower-era, Boeing-built KC-135 tankers, the

Air Force in 2002 negotiated a $23 billion deal with Boeing for a hundred 767
tankers, but it quickly came under fire in Congress as a financial handout for
Boeing. The tanker deal collapsed in 2004 when it was learned that the Air
Force's second-ranking acquisition official, Darleen Druyun, had negotiated an
executive-level job with Boeing Chief Financial Officer Michael Sears during the
tanker contract talks. Both were fired and landed in prison.
The procurement scandal rocked Boeing. Phil Condit, Boeing's chairman and
chief executive at the time, resigned and Boeing's reputation in Congress was
seriously damaged.
"I sincerely hope politics didn't play a role in this," Murray said of
Friday's decision. "Everyone expressed regret and everyone went back and started
Page 5
from the beginning."
The Air Force said its selection was based on five criteria: mission
capability, proposal risk, cost and price, past performance and aircraft design
characteristics such as tanker fuel capacity, takeoff performance and fuel
consumption.
Payton said Boeing's past problems played no part in the decision. She said
the contract process had been transparent in an effort to lay to rest any
concerns stemming from the earlier scandal.
"We have proven in this source selection that we have done everything
according to the federal acquisition regulations," Payton said. "We've got it
nailed and I don't see any relationship to what has gone on in the past at all."

Northrop, EADS tanker win sparks controversy in U.S. - Boston.com
THIS STORY HAS BEEN FORMATTED FOR EASY PRINTING
Northrop, EADS tanker win sparks controversy in

U.S.
By Andrea Shalal-Esa - Analysis | March 2, 2008
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A surprising U.S. decision to bypass Boeing Co <BA.N> and award Northrop
Grumman Corp <NOC.N> and Europe's EADS <EAD.PA> a $35 billion aerial tanker deal underscores
the global nature of the defense market, and will clearly be a hot topic in U.S. national politics this year.
Signed late on Friday by Northrop and the Air Force, the fixed-price deal is an enormous boon for No. 3
U.S. defense company Northrop, dramatically expands EADS's foothold in the U.S. market and hastens
the end of the Boeing 767 production line.
But with the U.S. economy in a slump and Boeing backers howling about potential job losses to Europe,
U.S. lawmakers could still hold up the deal, and it may become a football in the presidential election.
The likely Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, led an investigation that killed an earlier
Air Force proposal to lease 100 Boeing 767 tankers after a former top Air Force official went to jail for
negotiating a senior job with Boeing as she was still overseeing that deal and others.
Now, opponents say, he has helped hand the huge deal to EADS, the parent company of Airbus.
Northrop says 60 percent of its plane will be made in America and even the fuselage and tail of the
Boeing 767 would have been built overseas, but "Buy America" rhetoric is an easy sell in hard financial
times.
"The last bastion of the losing protectionist is to wave the bloody 'Buy America' shirt," said analyst Joel
Johnson of the Teal Group. "It tells you they don't have another argument -- e.g., the (Northrop) product
was newer, more capable and less risky."
Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, still vying for their party's nomination, have not addressed
the deal, but the issue of U.S. jobs going overseas is clearly on their radar.
Their Democratic colleagues in the Senate and House of Representatives are already raising questions
about McCain's role in convincing the Air Force to take the U.S.-European dispute over airplane
subsidies out of the competition.
"The U.S. government is bringing an action against Airbus in the World Trade Organization and
subsidies should have been taken into account" in this competition, Rep. Norm Dicks, a Washington
Democrat, told Reuters.
http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2008/03/02/northrop_eads_tanker_win_sparks_controversy_in_us?mode=PF (1 of 4) [7/24/2008 5:31:26 PM]

McCain urged Robert Gates, before he was confirmed as defense secretary, to remove the issue from
the terms of the competition, saying it could eliminate one of the bidders from the start.
"McCain wrote a very strong letter to Gates," Dicks said. "Clearly it was on the side of Airbus."
Dicks said the Air Force would face tough questions in Congress. "Here we are in a recession and the U.
S. government hands such a big contract to the Europeans," he said.
On the flip side, the U.S. military already buys weapons overseas, including a new Army helicopter built
by EADS, and a presidential helicopter built in part by Italy's Finmeccanica <SIFI.MI>. Britain's BAE
Systems <BAES.L> has long been a key player, even on classified systems, and is now the 8th-biggest
U.S. defense contractor after its 2005 takeover of combat vehicle maker United Defense Industries.
"Globalization is the way of the world," said Marc Lindsley, director of business development for
Northrop.
JOBS HOT BUTTON ISSUE
Boeing supporters decry the deal as "a blow to the American aerospace industry, American workers and
America's men and women in uniform," but Northrop insists its plan will create more than 2,500 positions
in Alabama and other states still recovering from the devastation of 2005's Hurricane Katrina.
Overall, Northrop says the deal will support 25,000 jobs in 49 U.S. states, and its officials remain
convinced that Boeing's claim of supporting 44,000 jobs was exaggerated.
Boeing only projected the earlier tanker deal to support 25,000 to 30,000 jobs, and says its C-17
transport plane, built solely in the United States, supports 25,000 jobs.
European leaders welcomed the decision. French President Nicolas Sarkozy predicted it would
strengthen ties between the United States and Europe. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said EADS
won in "a fair and open process" and the decision showed the mutual trust in U.S.-European national
security ties.
Defense analyst Richard Aboulafia of the Teal Group said it marked the first time in U.S. military
procurement -- and possibly worldwide -- that a government had chosen "a foreign plane over a directly
competing domestic product."
The deal marks a personal victory for Northrop Chief Executive Ron Sugar, who analysts say had to
repeatedly convince a skeptical board to back the venture with EADS.
It is an enormous coup for Ralph Crosby, a retired U.S. military officer who served in Vietnam and
former senior Northrop executive who was passed over for the job Sugar got.
Crosby helped create EADS North America, which has won work building a small Army helicopter and

maritime patrol planes for the Coast Guard. But the tanker was clearly his holy Grail.
The victory is particularly sweet for Crosby, whose chief rival at Northrop, James Roche, went on to
become the Air Force secretary who championed the earlier Boeing tanker deal, but was later forced to
resign as the scandal deepened.
In internal e-mails disclosed by McCain's investigation, Roche was clearly shown to be working closely
with Boeing, writing "Go Boeing," referring to "the fools in Paris and Berlin," and expressing animosity
toward Crosby. Crosby and Roche were both passed over for the top Northrop job.
NORTHROP BOOM PASSES FUEL
The deal also marks a technological achievement for EADS, which was shut out of the earlier tanker
deal because it had not yet developed a boom to pass fuel to fighter aircraft.
On Friday, as the announcement neared, Northrop conducted its first flying transfer of 2,000 pounds of
fuel to an F-16 fighter through its newly developed boom, although company officials decided not to
publish the news until Monday.
Boeing has said only that it is disappointed and will review its options after a detailed briefing from the
Air Force.
Defense analyst Loren Thompson of the Lexington Institute said lawmakers would pressure Boeing to
protest the decision, but it would likely lose since it got lower scores in four out of five evaluation areas.
"It is a fact that the Boeing plane couldn't beat the Airbus plane," he said.
Long delays in Boeing's deliveries to Japan and Italy were also a big negative, Aboulafia noted.
Air Force officials warn a protest could delay work on the new aircraft for 18-24 months and harm U.S.
troops. Even under the current plan, some of the current KC-135 tankers will still be flying until 2040,
when they are more than 80 years old.
Given the Air Force's glowing assessment of the Northrop plane, Thompson said lawmakers might have
a tough time arguing too strenuously for the Boeing 767.
"Congress can stop any Pentagon expenditure it wants. But it faces the dilemma of having to explain
why it wants to force war fighters to buy an inferior plane," he said.
Instead of trying to derail the Northrop deal, lawmakers could also add money to the program and
require the Air Force to buy both planes, but tight budgets have already forced delays in purchases of
other weapons such as warships.
"That would be a good solution, but we just don't have the money," said one congressional aide.

Errors found in tanker contract;

GAO backs up Boeing protest
BYLINE: LES BLUMENTHAL AND DAVID MONTGOMERY, McClatchy Newspapers
SECTION: A; Pg. 1
LENGTH: 797 words
The Government Accountability Office concluded Wednesday that the Air Force
made "significant errors" in awarding a $35 billion contract for
aerial-refueling tankers to a team that included a European aerospace company.
In a major victory for Boeing, which has a major aircraft assembly plant in
St. Louis, the GAO recommended that the Air Force reopen the competition,
including rewriting the contract specifications.
"Our review of the record led us to conclude that the Air Force had made a
number of significant errors that could have affected the outcome of what was a
close competition between Boeing and Northrop Grumman," the GAO said. "We
therefore sustain the Boeing protest."
The Air Force has 60 days to respond to the GAO recommendations, which are
not binding.
The GAO ruling further delayed the Air Force's top priority of replacing its
decades-old tanker fleet, which is part of the 18th Air Force, headquartered at
Scott Air Force Base near Belleville.
Maj. Gen. James A. Hawkins, commander of the 18th Air Force, told McClatchy
Newspapers in late April that some of the tankers are so old and worn that you
can "literally poke your fist" through the corroded skin of the aircraft.
Hawkins has not expressed a preference in the selection competition but says
the service desperately needs to modernize its tanker fleet, a pervasive
sentiment throughout the Air Force.
"I'm the guy that uses what's given to me, so I have not been involved in any
way, shape or form with the acquisition process," he said in an interview. "What
I'll tell you is I do need a replacement so whatever product is put in my hands
Page 2

News-Democrat (Illinois) June 19, 2008 Thursday
... I will put it to good use."
The 18th Air Force, attached to the Air Mobility Command at Scott, has a
fleet of about 480 KC-135 Stratotankers and nearly 60 newer KC-10 Extenders at
various bases across the country. The average age of the KC-135 fleet is 47
years.
"The Air Force has been trying throughout this decade to get started on
replacing these decrepit tankers, and now it will have to wait even longer,"
said Air Force spokesman Loren Thompson. "In all likelihood, the winner of the
tanker competition will now be determined in the next administration."
The tanker dispute will also be high on the agenda of the next Air Force
Chief of Staff. Gen. Norton A. Schwartz, commander of the U.S. Transportation
Command at Scott, has been recommended by Defense Secretary Robert Gates to
replace Moseley but President Bush has not presented a formal nomination to the
Senate.
Randy Belote, vice president of corporate and international communications

for Northrop Grumman, said his company would review the GAO findings before
commenting.
"We respect the GAO's work in analyzing the Air Force's tanker acquisition
process," he said. "We continue to believe that Northrop Grumman offered the
most modern and capable tanker."
U.S. Rep. Jerry Costello, D-Belleville, who criticized the initial Air Force
decision, welcomed the GAO's findings.
"The GAO has conducted a thorough review of the contract process and found
that Boeing was disadvantaged in several ways," said Costello, who is chairman
of the House Aviation Subcommittee.
"This is an opportunity to fully consider all the factors that will best meet
our aerial refueling needs, and I look forward to this process moving forward
expeditiously."
In February, the Air Force awarded the contract to Northrop Grumman and the
European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., the parent company of Boeing's chief
rival, Airbus. The Air Force said Northrop-EADS had bested Boeing in virtually
every category and that Boeing wasn't being punished for an earlier procurement
scandal and other problems with the Pentagon.
Within two weeks, Boeing filed a protest with the GAO, alleging that the Air
Force had adjusted the contract criteria at the last minute to ensure that there
were at least two bidders. Boeing also said that Air Force officials had erred
when they found that the Northrop-EADS tanker was better in mission capability,
risk, past performance and cost.
Boeing, which has built tankers for the Air Force since World War II, said
the Air Force initially had sought bids for a medium-sized tanker but later
switched to a bigger tanker in a move that favored the Northrop-EADS plane.
The contract was for replacing 179 Eisenhower-era KC-135 tankers. Eventually,
the Air Force plans to replace all of its more than 600 tankers, at an estimated
cost of roughly $100 billion.

News-Democrat (Illinois) June 19, 2008 Thursday
The Air Force's decision to award the contract to a team that included a
European aerospace manufacturer that's long sought a toehold in the U.S. defense
market was widely criticized on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers from Washington state
and Kansas said that the Air Force's decision to use a European airframe would
result in the loss of American jobs.

About Norman Y. Mineta
Secretary Norman Y. Mineta is Vice Chairman of Hill & Knowlton based in its
Washington, D.C. office. Mineta provides counsel and strategic advice to Hill &
Knowlton clients on a wide range of business and political issues.
Mineta is well known for his work in the areas of transportation - including
aviation, surface transportation, and infrastructure - and national security. He
is recognized for his accomplishments in economic development, science and
technology policy, foreign and domestic trade, budgetary issues and civil
rights.
Mineta's career in public service has been both distinguished and unique. He
brings a wealth of experience and the perspective of having served in Congress
for over 20 years and the Cabinet of both Republican and Democratic presidents.
For almost 30 years, Mineta represented San Jose, California - the heart of
Silicon Valley - first on the city council, then as mayor, and then, from 1975
to 1995, as a Member of Congress. Throughout that time, Mineta was an advocate
of the burgeoning technology industry. He worked to encourage new industries and
spur job growth, and he supported the development of the infrastructure to
accommodate the industry and its tremendous growth.
Mineta served as the chairman of the House Transportation and Public Works
Committee from 1992 to 1994, after having chaired the Subcommittee on Aviation
and the Subcommittee on Surface Transportation. He was the primary author of the
groundbreaking ISTEA legislation - the Intermodal Surface Transportation

employees - the largest mobilization of a new federal agency since World War II.
Mineta was also a vice president of Lockheed Martin where he oversaw the
first successful implementation of the EZ-Pass system in New York State.
Recognized for his leadership, Mineta has received numerous awards, including
the Presidential Medal of Freedom - the United States' highest civilian honor -

AECOM TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES
Adopted March 1, 2007
Role of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors oversees the business and affairs of the Corporation in accordance with
applicable law. It monitors overall corporate performance and establishes the strategic direction
of the Corporation. This includes the Board’s approval of strategic plans presented by
management. Management is responsible implementing the Corporation’s strategic direction.
The Board’s core governance functions include:
• advising and counseling management regarding significant issues, risks and transactions;
• assessing the performance of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and senior
management and setting compensation accordingly;
• overseeing the Company's integrity and ethics, and compliance with laws;
• monitoring the Company's operating results and financial condition and overseeing the
Company's financial reporting; and
• nominating directors and shaping effective corporate governance.
Board Membership Criteria
Members of the Board of Directors should have the highest professional and personal ethics and
values. The Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the appropriate
skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the current composition of
the Board, the operating requirements of the Corporation and the long-term interests of
stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Committee considers diversity, age, skills, and
such other factors as it deems appropriate to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and
capability.
As a whole, the Board of Directors should include individuals that are committed to enhancing
stockholder value with sufficient time to effectively carry out their duties. While all directors
should possess business acumen, the Board of Directors endeavors to include an array of targeted
skills and experience in its overall composition. Criteria that the Nominating and Governance
Committee looks for in director candidates include business experience and skills, judgment,
independence, integrity and an understanding of such areas as finance, marketing, regulation,
public policy and the absence of potential conflicts with the Corporation’s interests.
Director Independence
A majority of the Board consists of independent Directors as defined in accordance with the
listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. To be considered "independent," a Director
must be determined by the Board, after recommendation by the Nominating and Governance
Committee to have no material relationship with the Company other than as a Director. In
making its determination concerning the absence of a material relationship, the Board adheres to
all of the specific tests for independence included in the New York Stock Exchange listing
standards.
Other Board Memberships
The Corporation values the experience and perspective that Directors bring from their service on
other boards, but also recognizes that other board memberships and activities may also limit a
Director’s time and availability and may present conflicts of interest or legal issues, including
independence issues. As a general rule, Directors should limit their service as directors on
publicly-held company and investment company boards to no more than [five] (including the
Corporation’s Board of Directors). Service on the boards of subsidiary companies is not
included in this calculation. Moreover, if a director sits on several mutual fund boards within the
same fund family, it will count as one board for purposes of this calculation. Directors should
advise the Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee in advance of accepting
an invitation to serve on another board. Extraordinary or transitional situations involving the
number of directorships of any particular Director or potential Director shall be subject to review
by the Nominating and Governance Committee.
Lead Independent Director
The independent Directors will annually select a Lead Independent Director from among the
independent Directors serving on the Corporation's Board. The Lead Director will chair the
executive sessions of non-employee and independent Directors and consult with the Chairman on
agendas for Board meetings and other matters pertinent to the Corporation and the Board.
Selection of New Directors
The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies, investigates and recommends

prospective directors to the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee also considers
any recommendations for director candidates that are properly submitted by stockholders in
accordance with the procedures described in the Corporation's annual proxy statement.
Board Size
The Bylaws provide that the number of Directors is determined by the Board. The Board’s size is
assessed at least annually by the Board Nominating and Governance Committee and changes are
recommended to the Board when appropriate.
Term of Office
The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with
staggered terms of three years each so that the term of one class expires at each annual meeting
of stockholders.
-2-
Number and Composition of Board Committees
The Board has four committees: Audit, Compensation and Organization, Nominating and
Governance and Planning, Finance and Investments. The Audit, Compensation and Organization
and Nominating and Governance Committees are comprised solely of non-employee
independent Directors. The Planning, Finance and Investments Committee may include one or
more employee Directors. In addition, all Audit Committee members must meet the additional
qualifications for audit committee members as established from time to time under the New York
Stock Exchange listing standards.
Each committee is chaired by an independent Director who, in accordance with the committee
charter, applicable law and the input of other committee members, determines the agenda, the
frequency and length of the meetings and who has unlimited access to management, information
and independent advisors, as necessary and appropriate.
Executive Sessions
Non-employee Directors meet in executive session at each regularly scheduled Board meeting.
The sessions are chaired by the Lead Independent Director. Any non-employee Director can
request that additional executive sessions be scheduled.
Board Compensation
Non-employee Directors receive compensation at a level that allows the Board to secure and
retain the highest-quality members. Employee Directors are not paid additional compensation for
their services as Directors. The Board periodically reviews and recommends changes to Board
compensation to ensure that the total compensation remains competitive and appropriate.
Board Access to Senior Management and Independent Advisors
Directors are encouraged and provided opportunities to talk directly to any member of
management regarding any questions or concerns the Director may have. The Board and each
Board committee have the right at any time to retain independent outside financial, legal or other
advisors.
Director Orientation and Education
The Corporation will maintain an orientation program that contains written material, oral
presentations and site visits. All Directors are encouraged to periodically attend, at Corporation
expense, certain director continuing education programs offered by various organizations
recommended by the Corporation. The Corporation also provides ongoing Director education
through presentations at Board and Committee meetings and Board briefings.
-3-
Evaluation of Board Performance
The Board and each Board committee conduct a self-evaluation annually. The Nominating and
Governance Committee oversees this self-evaluation process and assesses the full Board’s
performance. The Committee recommends changes to improve the Board, the Board committees
and individual Director effectiveness. The Committee utilizes an annual Board evaluation to
gather input to assist the Committees’ evaluation and recommendations.
Chief Executive Officer Performance Review
The Compensation and Organization Committee annually reviews the CEO performance.
Evaluations will be held in executive session outside of the presence of the CEO, after which the
Committee shall present the results of the review to the CEO.
Board Agenda and Meetings
The Chairman and the CEO in coordination with the Lead Independent Director set the schedule
and agenda for Board meetings and determines the timing and length of the meetings of the
Board, taking into account input and suggestions from other members of the Board and
management. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, unscheduled Board meetings may be
called, upon proper notice, at any time to address specific needs of the Corporation. The Annual
Stockholder Meeting will be scheduled in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting.
The Board expects all Board members to attend regularly scheduled meetings and the Annual
Meeting, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Periodic Review of Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board review these Corporate Governance
Guidelines and related corporate governance documents at least annually and revise as
appropriate.
Succession Planning
The independent Directors plan for succession to the position of President and Chief Executive
Officer as well as certain other senior management positions. To assist the independent
Directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer annually provides an assessment of senior
officers and of their potential to succeed him. He also provides the independent Directors with an
assessment of persons considered potential successors to other senior management positions.

U.S. Secretary Norman Mineta Joins Advisory Board

of Carolinks; Former Administration Official and
Vice Chairman of Hill & Knowlton, Inc. to Advise
New $250 Million Inter-Modal Operation
LENGTH: 546 words
DATELINE: CHARLESTON, S.C. & WASHINGTON Aug. 9, 2006
Secretary Norman Mineta, former Secretary of the U.S. Department of

Transportation and Vice Chairman of Hill & Knowlton, Inc., has joined the
Advisory Board of Carolinks, the Charleston-based inter-modal company poised to
launch its $250 million barge and rail operation transporting containers from
the Port of Charleston to a new inland port.
Speaking of his new appointment, Secretary Mineta said, "Having represented

the Silicon Valley in Congress for over 20 years, I got to know Lucy
Duncan-Scheman when she was representing a number of Valley high-tech firms. Her
extensive technical knowledge coupled with her great sense of the legislative
process made her an effective representative of those companies."
"Lucy is now taking those same skill sets to start a new company that fits in
with the necessity of reducing congestion on the land side by utilizing the
water side to efficiently move containers safely, reliably and at less cost. I
am proud to be associated with her efforts and of the other very highly
qualified people serving on the Advisory Board of Carolinks."
Carolinks, led by Founder, President and CEO Lucy Duncan-Scheman, has

developed a much- needed plan for a partnership between rail and barge to reduce
dwell time at the port and speed containers inland faster than at present. The
operation is scheduled to begin in 2007 and will create over 200 new jobs, and
many more in ancillary activities.
Lucy Duncan-Scheman said, "I am honored to be able to work with Secretary

Mineta. I have followed his career from Congress to Lockheed Martin to his
excellent service at the helm of two Presidential Cabinets. As the U.S.
transitions from a knowledge based economy to a distribution based economy, no
one understands this dynamic better than Secretary Mineta. He understands the
importance of moving cargo more rapidly away from ports and is keenly aware of
the safety issues involved as well. Secretary Mineta has long been an advocate
of private sector investment in public infrastructure, and his role on our
advisory board will ensure the success of our business model."
Secretary Mineta will join the Carolinks advisory board along with Senator

SJW CORP.
AMENDED AND RESTATED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICIES
Approved by the Board: January 30, 2008
I. BOARD COMPOSITION
A. Size of the Board. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board will
be not less than seven (7) or more than eleven (11) directors. The Board will periodically
review the appropriate size of the Board.
B. Majority of Independent Directors. It is the policy of the Board that a

majority of the directors will not be current employees of the Company and will otherwise
meet appropriate standards of independence. In determining independence, the Board will
at a minimum apply the definitions of independence in the New York Stock Exchange
listing standards and the SEC rules and will incorporate additional factors that will
contribute to effective oversight and decision-making by the Board.
C. Management Directors. The Board anticipates that the Company’s

Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) will be nominated annually to serve on the Board. The
Board does not expect that other members of the Company’s management will be on the
Board.
D. Chair; Lead Independent Director. The Board will periodically

appoint a Chair. Both independent and management directors, including the CEO, are
eligible for appointment as the Chair. The Chair, or if the Chair is not an independent
director, one of the independent directors, may be designated by the Board to be the “lead
independent director.” The lead independent director may periodically help schedule or
conduct separate meetings of the independent directors, and perform various other duties.
E. Selection of Board Nominees. The Board will be responsible for the

selection of candidates for the nomination or appointment of all Board members. The
Nominating & Governance Committee (“Nominating Committee”) shall, in consultation
with the CEO, recommend candidates for election to the Board. Nominations by the Board
shall require approval of a majority of the independent directors.
F. Board Membership Criteria. The Board’s policy is to encourage

selection of directors who will contribute to the Company’s overall corporate goals of
responsibility to its shareholders, technology leadership, effective execution, high customer
satisfaction and superior employee-working environment. The Nominating Committee will
from time to time review the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board
members in the context of the current make-up of the Board. Board members are expected
to prepare for, attend and participate in meetings of the Board and of committees on which
they serve.
G. Board Compensation. The Board, through the Executive Compensation
Committee, will review, or request management or outside consultants to review,
appropriate compensation policies for the directors serving on the Board and its committees.
This review may consider board compensation practices of other similar public companies,
contributions to Board functions, service as committee chairs, and other appropriate factors.
H. Directors Who Change Job Responsibility; Retirement. The Board

does not believe directors who retire or change their principal occupation or business
association should necessarily leave the Board; however, there should be an opportunity for
the Board, through the Nominating & Governance Committee, to review the continued
appropriateness of Board membership under these circumstances. The current retirement
age policy for directors is that no individual who will become 75 or older during a term of
office shall be nominated for election, unless otherwise determined by the Board. The
Board will periodically review the appropriate retirement age for directors.
I. Equity Ownership. The Board will expect that each non-employee

member of the Company’s Board of Directors shall, within five (5) years after the later of (i)
December 31, 2007 or (ii) his or her initial election or appointment to the Board, own and
maintain shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate fair market value of not
less than One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000).
J. Director Orientation and Continuing Education. The Board and

management will conduct a comprehensive orientation process for new directors to become
familiar with the Company’s vision, strategic direction, core values including ethics,
financial matters, corporate governance practices and other key policies and practices
through a review of background material, meetings with senior management and visits to
Company facilities. The Board also recognizes the importance of continuing education for
its directors and is committed to provide such education in order to improve both Board and
Committee performance.
II. BOARD MEETINGS
A. Scheduling of Full Board Meetings. Board meetings will be scheduled

in advance, not less frequently than quarterly, at the Company’s principal executive office.
B. Agenda and Materials. The Chairperson shall preside at all meetings of

the Board. The Chairperson and the CEO will have primary responsibility for preparing the
agenda for each meeting and arranging for it to be sent in advance of the meeting to the
directors along with appropriate written information and background materials so that Board
meeting time may be conserved and discussion time focused on questions that the Board has
about the materials. Each Board committee, and each individual director, is encouraged to
suggest items for inclusion on the agenda. The Board reserves authority to meet in
executive session to discuss sensitive matters without distribution of written materials.
C. Independent Directors Discussions. It is the policy of the Board that

the independent members of the Board meet separately, without management director(s)
2
present at each regular meeting to discuss such matters as the independent directors consider
appropriate. The Company’s independent auditors, internal audit staff and other appropriate
employees may be invited to attend these meetings.
D. Board Presentations and Access to Information. The Board

encourages the presentation at meetings by managers who can provide additional insight
into matters being discussed or who have potential that the CEO believes should be given
exposure to the Board. The Company’s executive management will afford each Board
member with access to the Company’s executives and the outside auditors. The Board
encourages management to arrange presentations at Board meetings by the Company’s
managers and provide other reports that will enhance the flow of meaningful financial and
business information to the Board.
E. Service on Subsidiary Boards. In his or her capacity as a director of the

Company, each member of the Board shall serve as a member of the board of directors of
San Jose Water Company and SJW Land Company.
F. Access to Outside Advisors. The Board, as well as each committee of the

Board, at its request, can retain the services of one or more independent outside advisors
(financial, legal, compensation, etc.) as it considers appropriate, at the Company’s expense.
G. Board Evaluations. The Board will perform a self-evaluation on an

annual basis. The Nominating & Governance Committee is responsible to report annually to
the Board an assessment of the Board’s performance. The assessment should include a
review of the Board’s overall effectiveness and the areas in which the Board or management
believes the Board can make an impact on the Company. The purpose of the evaluation is to
increase the effectiveness of the Board, not to focus on the performance of individual Board
members.
III. BOARD COMMITTEES
A. Committees. The current four committees of the Board are the Audit
Committee, Executive Compensation Committee, Nominating & Governance Committee
and Real Estate Committee. From time to time the Board may establish a new committee or
disband a current committee depending upon the circumstances.
B. Committee Member Selection. The Board will designate the members

and Chairperson of each committee, endeavoring to match the particular committee’s
function and needs for expertise with individual skills and experience of the appointees to
the committee. The membership of the Audit Committee, Executive Compensation
Committee and Nominating & Governance Committee shall consist solely of independent
directors who meet applicable criteria for independence under New York Stock Exchange,
SEC and/or tax rules applicable to such committees.
C. Committee Functions. The number and content of committee meetings

and other matters of committee governance will be determined by each committee in light of
3
the authority delegated by the full Board to the committee, the committee’s charter, if any,
approved by the Board, and legal, regulatory, accounting or governance principles
applicable to that committee’s function. The Company will provide to each committee
access to executives and other resources to enable committee members to carry out their
responsibilities. Each committee will have a designated management contact intended to
facilitate committee function. The full authority and responsibilities of each committee is
fixed by resolution of the full Board and the committee’s charter, if any. The following is a
brief summary of the authority of each committee:
1. Audit Committee. Review the Company’s financial procedures

and controls; monitor financial reporting and select and meet with independent auditors.
The Audit Committee shall also review and approve all related party transactions and the
authority to hire and discharge the independent accountants. An Amended and Restated
Audit Committee Charter was adopted October 27, 2005.
