     This Statement amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation
Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
February 26, 1998, as amended (the "Schedule 14D-9"), relating to the offer by
CAI Computer Services Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Computer Associates International, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, including associated Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock Purchase Rights (the "Shares"), of Computer Sciences Corporation, a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), for an amount equal to $108.00 per Share, net to

herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9.
 
ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION
 
     Item 4(b) is hereby supplemented as follows:
 
     Certain information and statements within this Schedule 14D-9 amendment
constitute "forward-looking statements" which represent the Company's
expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning
industry performance and the Company's operations, performance, financial
condition, prospects, growth and strategies. These statements are subject to
factors many of which are outside of the Company's control, including risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements contained herein. These risks and uncertainties
include but are not limited to: competitive pressures; the Company's ability to
attract and retain key personnel; changes in the demand for information
technology outsourcing and business process outsourcing; changes in the
financial condition of the Company's major commercial customers; changes in U.S.
federal government spending levels for information technology services; the
Company's ability to consummate strategic acquisitions and alliances; the future
profitability of the Company's customer contracts; the Company's ability to
continue to develop and expand its service offerings to address emerging
business demand and technological trends; and general economic conditions in
countries in which the Company does business.
 
     The Company's internal fiscal 1998 financial forecast, fiscal 1999
preliminary budget and fiscal 2000 financial model are summarized as follows:

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
 
     The fiscal 1998 financial forecast includes ten months' actual results and
two months' forecast. Fiscal 1999 amounts represent the consolidated preliminary
budget accumulated from the business-unit level in the normal course of the
Company's financial planning. The financial model for fiscal 2000 is based on
historical performance and current expectations for revenue growth, operating
margins and capital investment by operating unit. The fiscal 1998-2000 financial
information presented above represents three year compound annual growth rates
of 18.4 percent for revenues and 21.1 percent for EBITDA. These growth rates are
well within the three year compound annual growth rates for fiscal years
1995-1997 of 24.7 percent for revenues and 29.2 percent for EBITDA.
 
     The earnings per share forecast of $3.41 for fiscal 1998 includes a first
quarter net special credit of $.02 as previously disclosed, and an estimated
fourth quarter net special charge of $.04. The fiscal 1999 earnings per share
preliminary budget amount includes a special charge of $.08 per share. Both the
$.04 and $.08 amounts relate to previously disclosed quantifiable estimated
costs incurred in connection with the Company's response to the Offer. The above
amounts do not include costs related to the Offer that are not yet quantifiable.
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   3
 
However, such costs could be material. Earnings per share amounts do not reflect
the two-for-one stock split, in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend,
payable on March 23, 1998.
 
     None of the above amounts takes into account the potential impact of the
Offer on the Company's operations. Such impact may include (a) the inability to
obtain or complete new and potential business prospects, potential alliances,
outsourcing contracts, business acquisitions and software license sales, (b) the
inability to obtain new or additional business from existing customers, and (c)
the loss of existing customers and employees. This impact could be material.
 
     The Company's preliminary budget for fiscal 1999 and financial model for
fiscal 2000 take into account the full range of its service offerings, including
consulting and other professional services, systems integration, and information
technology outsourcing and business process outsourcing. Independent industry
analysts have projected robust demand for these services through at least 2002.
Furthermore, the preliminary budget and financial model include the changing mix
of the Company's business across its commercial, federal and international
markets. To coordinate the application of the Company's skill sets across its
global markets, the Company has recently established several industry-oriented,
or "vertical," organizations. The indicated growth in the Company's operations
assumes continued expansion in vertical markets, but neither the fiscal 1999
preliminary budget nor the fiscal 2000 financial model includes any significant
business acquisition or combination.
 
     The EBITDA amounts shown above reflect growth in earnings and the Company's
shift toward more capital intensive businesses, such as outsourcing. For the
periods shown, operating margins have been assumed to continue to improve, in
keeping with the Company's historical trend. Operating margins have improved on
a year to year comparison basis for eight consecutive quarters ended December
26, 1997.
 
     The above earnings per share amounts also include benefits the Company
expects to realize from reductions in its currently effective income tax rate,
primarily due to increases in the tax basis of certain assets currently held in
a partnership, favorable utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and
research and experimentation credits. If the related tax rate reduction is not
realized, the above earnings per share amounts for fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000
would be reduced by $.12 and $.16, respectively.
 
     The Company issued a press release with respect to the above matters on
March 4, 1998, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

              COMPUTER SCIENCES DETAILS STRONG GROWTH EXPECTATIONS

       OFFER BY COMPUTER ASSOCIATES DOES NOT REPRESENT FAIR VALUE FOR CSC

EL SEGUNDO, CALIF., MARCH 4, 1998 - Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC)
(the "Company") today reiterated that Computer Associates' (NYSE: CA) tender
offer of $108 per share for CSC stock falls far short of rewarding stockholders
for the value of the Company. To support the Company's position, CSC filed
forward-looking statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
earlier today.

Van B. Honeycutt, Chairman, President and CEO, and Leon J. Level, Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer, will meet today in New York City with financial
analysts as part of CSC's effort to provide its stockholders with information
regarding the Company's performance expectations.

"As the target of an unwanted hostile takeover attempt by CA, we are in an
extraordinary situation," said Honeycutt. "Our stockholders are entitled to know
specifically what lies behind our conviction that Computer Associates' bid falls
far short of rewarding our stockholders for the underlying value of Computer
Sciences."

The Company's internal fiscal 1998 financial forecast, fiscal 1999 preliminary
budget and fiscal 2000 financial model are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

The fiscal 1998 financial forecast includes ten months' actual results and two
months' forecast. Fiscal 1999 amounts represent the consolidated preliminary
budget accumulated from the business-unit level in the normal course of the
Company's financial planning. The financial model for fiscal 2000 is based on
historical performance and

current expectations for revenue growth, operating margins and capital
investment by operating unit. Earnings per share amounts do not reflect the
two-for-one stock split, in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend, payable on
March 23, 1998. The forward-looking statements contained herein assume no
significant acquisitions by CSC and do not take into account the potential
impact of CA's offer on CSC's business.

Level said that CSC expects growth in the current fiscal year (which ends April
3, 1998) of 18 percent in earnings per share, before special items, to $3.43,
which is in the upper range of analyst estimates. The fiscal 1998-2000 financial
information presented above represents three-year compound annual growth rates
of 18.4 percent for revenues and 21.1 percent for EBITDA. These growth rates are
well within the three-year compound annual growth rates for fiscal years
1995-1997 of 24.7 percent for revenues and 29.2 percent for EBITDA.

"We have won or implemented $6.7 billion in large outsourcing contracts over the
past twelve months, and our new business development pipeline is full. We have a
high level of confidence that we will win a significant percentage of the
opportunities we are currently seeking," Level said.

Honeycutt said: "We are also seeing considerable internal growth in our vertical
business groups and in such areas as Year 2000 services, enterprise-wide
solutions and electronic commerce. The visibility of such strong growth has the
potential to effect significant appreciation in our stock price and underscores
the inadequacy of the CA offer, particularly when compared with valuation
multiples found in the marketplace generally and in other takeover
transactions."

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on a number of
assumptions and are subject to uncertainties and risks set forth in Amendment
No. 4 to Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC this morning. CSC cautioned that
developments outside the Company's control can have a material effect on results
of operations and urged readers to carefully consider the assumptions,
uncertainties and risks described in the Company's SEC filing.

management consulting, information systems consulting and integration, and
operations support. The Company has more than 44,000 employees in nearly 600

billion in revenue. More information about CSC is available at

it may receive or any other attempts to acquire control of CSC. Pursuant to the
terms of their engagement letters, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan will receive
the following fees for their services: (a) a quarterly retainer fee of
$2,500,000 for Goldman Sachs and $1,000,000 for J.P Morgan, payable on the first

amount to be determined after taking into account the results obtained and the
custom and practice among investment bankers acting in similar transactions. CSC
