     Dr. Gerald R. McNichols Elected to GRC International Board of Directors

Vienna,  Va., Oct. 6, 1999 - GRC  International  (NYSE: GRH) today announced the
recent election of Dr. Gerald R. McNichols,  56, to GRC International's board of
directors increasing the members on the board to nine. Dr. McNichols is a senior
vice  president  of GRC  International,  general  manager of the  company's  MCR
Division and president of MCR Federal.

"Mac is a  knowledgeable  addition to the GRCI board bringing more than 30 years
of related  experience  in the  professional  and technical  services  industry,
government and military,"  said GRCI Chairman  Joseph Wright Jr. "Having started
and  successfully  grown  his own  defense-industry  consulting  firm,  Mac will
provide the board with a valuable  perspective.  I look  forward to working with
Mac."

Dr.  McNichols was  president  and CEO of Management  Consulting & Research Inc.
prior to its acquisition by GRC International last month. For more than 20 years
he led his company in performing  studies for government  and industry  clients,
focusing on project management, cost analysis, and financial management support.
MCR was purchased as an important  element in GRCI's plan to further improve its
recent  strong  financial  performance  and position the company for  continuing
future growth. As previously announced, GRC International President and CEO Gary
Denman has targeted  10-to-20  percent annual  internal  growth  supplemented by
selective acquisitions,  10 percent annual improvement in operating margins, and
the positioning of GRCI as a prime contractor focused on the federal information
technology market.

Upon his election to the GRC  International  board, Dr. McNichols said, "GRCI is
uniquely  positioned  to take  advantage  of the enormous  opportunities  in the
professional  and  technical  services  industry.  I am  delighted  to have this
opportunity  to work with Joe,  Gary and the rest of the board as we expand  and
take full advantage of GRCI's growth potential."

Prior to launching MCR in 1977,  Dr.  McNichols was vice  president of J. Watson
Noah  Associates  Inc.  (cost  analysis  consultants)  and was vice president of
GENTECH Inc. (information systems consultants).  During nine years of government
service he was special  assistant to the deputy  assistant  secretary of defense
(resource  analysis).  He was  commissioned  by the U.S. Air Force in 1965,  and
spent four years on the Air Staff before  joining the Office of the Secretary of
Defense.

Dr.  McNichols  has been an adjunct  professor  at George  Mason  University  in
Fairfax, Va., and The George Washington  University in Washington,  DC. He holds
an Sc.D.  in  engineering  from The George  Washington  University,  an M.S.  in
operations research from the University of Pennsylvania,  and a B.S. (honors) in
management science/mathematics from Case Western Reserve University.

Dr. McNichols,  who is a Certified Cost  Estimator/Analyst  (CCEA),  has written
numerous  publications on  industry-related  topics. He also has been recognized
with  numerous  industry  awards  and  serves on a number of civic and  industry
boards.
