NEW YORK — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 9, 2006 — L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that Michael T. Strianese, L-3’s chief financial officer, has been named the company’s interim chief executive officer, effective immediately. Mr. Strianese succeeds Frank C. Lanza, who passed away on June 6.

Mr. Strianese has been intimately involved with the company since its formation in 1997 and will continue in his position as chief financial officer. Mr. Strianese became chief financial officer of L-3 on March 11, 2005. Prior to that, Mr. Strianese served in various capacities at L-3, including his position as Senior Vice President — Finance.

The Board also appointed Robert B. Millard as non-executive chairman. Mr. Millard has been an L-3 Director since the company’s formation in April 1997. He is a Managing Director of Lehman Brothers Inc. and head of Lehman Brothers’ Global Trading Strategies.

The company also announced that the Board of Directors has formed an executive committee consisting of three independent board members — Thomas A. Corcoran, Robert B. Millard and Peter A. Cohen. In addition, these three directors will serve as members of a search committee formed to conduct a search for the selection of a permanent chief executive officer to succeed Mr. Lanza. Mr. Corcoran will serve as the chairman of this committee and General (Retired) Robert W. RisCassi, vice president of L-3, will act as an advisor to this committee.

Mr. Millard said, ‘‘Frank Lanza and his executive management have created what has become an enduring national asset, valued by its defense and homeland security customers both in the U.S. and abroad. Since the formation of the company, Mike Strianese has worked side by side with Frank and L-3’s chief operating officers in successfully executing L-3’s strategy.’’
