FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Bedford, Ma., October 7, 2004 — For the second year in a row, The MITRE Corporation was recognized as one of the "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers" by Working Mother magazine. The corporation was commended for its policies on work life benefits, including flextime, maternity leave, education and training opportunities, employee assistance programs, and women's advancement.

Bill Albright, Director of Quality of Work Life & Benefits at The MITRE Corporation, said, "We continue to advocate the flexible policies that allow working mothers to maintain a healthy balance in the workplace and in their homes. Working mothers make a significant contribution of their valuable time and rich expertise to MITRE's world-class environment, and we are proud to offer them benefits that have proven to sustain their loyalty."

To be named to the "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers" list, companies complete a comprehensive application, including questions about a company's culture, employee population, and policies on work/life and women's advancement. This year, Working Mother gave particular weight to three issues: flexible scheduling, time off for new parents, and childcare options.
