FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Bedford, Massachusetts, May 17, 2005 — Dr. Louis S. Metzger, vice president of MITRE's Center for Air Force Command and Control Systems (CAFC2S), has received the Benjamin H. Oliver Gold Medal for Engineering. This senior-level award was presented to Dr. Metzger by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) at TechNet International 2005 held May 17-19 at the Washington Convention Center.

Dr. Metzger received the award in honor of his distinguished career in engineering and management, and for his steadfast commitment to promoting AFCEA's goal of a strong industry/government partnership. He was nominated by the Lexington-Concord (Mass.) chapter of AFCEA, where he has served on the Board of Directors since 2002.

Dr. Metzger has championed MITRE participation in AFCEA programs, such as professional development opportunities for employees and sponsorship of high school interns. "It is important to empower our staff so they can continue to reach new heights in their careers, and to nurture the next generation of engineers," he said.
