                CSC'S RESPONSE TO CA'S LETTER OF MARCH 5, 1998

        EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 5 -- Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE:CSC)
issued the following statement today:

        "Computer Sciences Corporation today acknowledged that it has seen a
letter dated March 5, 1998, from Charles B. Wang, Chairman and CEO of Computer
Associates International, Inc. (NYSE:CA). The letter, addressed to Van B.
Honeycut, Chairman, President and CEO of CSC, indicated that CA would not
extend its $108 per share tender offer beyond its March 16, 1998 expiration
date.

        CSC reiterated that its Board of Directors voted unanimously to reject
Computer Associates' tender offer and to not enter into negotiations with CA.
CSC said that CA's offer falls far short of rewarding CSC stockholders for the
value of the company and that any effort to combine CSC and CA does not make
business sense.

        Computer Sciences said that it is calling upon Computer Associates to
immediately terminate its tender offer and stockholder solicitation activities
in order to eliminate any uncertainty as to CA's intentions."

        CSC had $6.3 billion in revenues for the 12 months ended December 26,
1997. The company has nearly 44,000 employees in more than 600 offices
worldwide and provides clients with a wide range of professional services,
including management consulting, information systems consulting and
integration, and operations support. More information about Computer Sciences
Corporation is available at http://www.csc.com.
