ransportation Chief Quits, Citing 'Otherhallenges'
MATTHEW L. WALD; DAVID STOUT CONTRIBUTED REPORTING FOR THIS ARTICLE.
ansportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta, who has served longer than anyone else now ie cabinet, announced Friday that he was resigning effective July 7.
a letter to President Bush dated Tuesday, Mr. Mineta, 74, did not give his reasons foraving, other than to say simply that ''it is time for me to move on to other challenges.''
he White House press secretary, Tony Snow, said Mr. Mineta was resigning ''because heanted to.''
spokesman for Mr. Mineta, Robert Johnson, said that ''the timing has everything to do withat he sees as potential opportunities outside public life, and nothing whatsoever with
nything going on in Congress or the administration.''
There's no such thing as 'retirement' in Norm Mineta's vocabulary,'' Mr. Johnson said, ''andat's certainly the case in this situation.''
aria Cino, deputy transportation secretary, will serve as acting secretary pendingnfirmation of a successor.
r. Mineta led his department through the Sept. 11 crisis and helped oversee creation of th
ansportation Security Administration, which later became part of the Department ofomeland Security. He also helped lay the groundwork for privatizing highways and otheransportation assets. Commercial airline safety has greatly improved during his time in offind the death rate on the highways has fallen.
wo goals that he did not achieve, however, were a restructuring of Amtrak and governmeermission for a higher level of foreign investment in airlines. His proposal to allow foreignntrol of airlines was decisively defeated in the House last week, although the issue remai
efore Congress.

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

TANKERDEAL: 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
Washington Bureau / P-I reporters
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 contractpotentially 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, Boeingspokesman 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
Page 1

16/83
briefing: "This is an American tanker. It's flown by American airmen. It has abig 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 tankercapacity, 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 furthercomments," 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 youcan'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 whyit 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

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 inMobile, Ala. EADS recently announced that it would also assemble A330 commercial
freighters in Mobile if it won the tanker competition. That would boost thecompany'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 itssupporters, 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 forceof 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, inwhich 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 tothe 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

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 incumbentadvantage. 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 wouldlikely 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," addingthat 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 strongmessage 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, theAir 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 AirForce'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

Northrop, EADS tanker win sparks controversy inU.S.
By Andrea Shalal-Esa - Analysis | March 2, 2008
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A surprising U.S. decision to bypass Boeing Co and award North
Grumman Corp and Europe's EADS a $35 billion aerial tanker deal underscore
he global nature of the defense market, and will clearly be a hot topic in U.S. national politics this yea
Signed late on Friday by Northrop and the Air Force, the fixed-price deal is an enormous boon for NoU.S. defense company Northrop, dramatically expands EADS's foothold in the U.S. market and hastehe 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 EuroU.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 earliAir Force proposal to lease 100 Boeing 767 tankers after a former top Air Force official went to jail fonegotiating 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 theBoeing 767 would have been built overseas, but "Buy America" rhetoric is an easy sell in hard financimes.
"The last bastion of the losing protectionist is to wave the bloody 'Buy America' shirt," said analyst JoJohnson of the Teal Group. "It tells you they don't have another argument -- e.g., the (Northrop) prodwas newer, more capable and less risky."
Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, still vying for their party's nomination, have not addreshe 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 questioabout McCain's role in convincing the Air Force to take the U.S.-European dispute over airplanesubsidies out of the competition.
"The U.S. government is bringing an action against Airbus in the World Trade Organization andsubsidies should have been taken into account" in this competition, Rep. Norm Dicks, a WashingtonDemocrat, told Reuters.

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 anumber 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

... 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 beforecommenting.
"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 meetour 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.

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
Efficiency Act of 1991.
In 2000, Mineta was appointed by President Bill Clinton as the U.S. Secretary
of Commerce. At the Department of Commerce, Mineta was known for his work on
technology issues, for achieving international cooperation and intergovernmental
coordination on complex fisheries issues, and streamlining the patent and
trademark process.
Mineta was appointed Secretary of Transportation by President George W. Bush
in 2001, where he served until he joined Hill & Knowlton in July 2006. Following
the horrific terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, Mineta guided the creation of
the Transportation Security Administration - an agency with more than 65,000employees - 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 -
and the Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy, which is awarded for significant public
service of enduring value to aviation in the United States.

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 Boards approval of strategic plans presented by
management. Management is responsible implementing the Corporations strategic direction.
The Boards 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 Boards 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 ofstockholders. 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 Corporations 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
-
8/7/2019 Exhibits - Norm Mineta, Former Secretary of Transportation
40/83
-2-
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
Directors 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
Corporations 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 reviewby 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 Boards 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.

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 Boards
performance. The Committee recommends changes to improve the Board, the Board committees
and individual Director effectiveness. The Committee utilizes an annual Board evaluation togather 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 scheduleand 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 hisexcellent 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
