Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
The Registrant announced in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, that it is soliciting consents from the holders of all of its 3.50% Notes due 2008, 6.25% Notes due 2009, 7.375% Notes due 2011 and 5.00% Notes due 2014 (together, the “Notes”). The Registrant is requesting a one-time waiver (the “Proposed Waiver”) through July 9, 2007, of any default or event of default that has arisen prior to the effective date of the waiver by virtue of the Registrant’s failure to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and furnish to Citibank, N.A., the trustee, with respect to the Notes, and holders of the Notes, certain reports required to be so filed and furnished by the Registrant pursuant to the terms of the indentures governing the Notes.
 
As previously announced, the Registrant has not yet filed with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for either the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2006 or the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2006 (each, a “Quarterly Report,” and together, the “Quarterly Reports”). On December 8, 2006, the Registrant received a notice of default from Citibank, N.A., as trustee, with respect to its default under the various indentures governing the Notes arising from the Registrant’s failure to timely file the Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2006. On December 21, 2006, the Registrant obtained a waiver through March 9, 2007 from more than a majority of the holders of the Registrant’s outstanding 6.25% Notes with respect to its failure to file the Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2006.
 
As previously announced, the Registrant’s Board of Directors has appointed a special committee to conduct an independent investigation into the Registrant’s option grant practices. As such, the Registrant has not filed with the SEC or furnished to the Citibank, N.A., as trustee, its Quarterly Reports when due as required pursuant to the indentures.
 
The Proposed Waiver shall become effective (the “Effective Date”) with respect to each series of notes promptly following the receipt of valid and unrevoked letters of consent from holders as of the record date (the “Consenting Holders”) representing a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes (the “Requisite Consents”). Properly delivered and unrevoked letters of consent may not be revoked after the Effective Date.
 
Assuming the receipt of the Requisite Consents, on the business day following the expiration of the consent solicitation, or as promptly as practicable thereafter, the Registrant will pay to each Consenting Holder of each series of Notes as to which Requisite Consents are received an initial consent fee of $1.25 for each $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes as to which a properly executed letter of consent is received by the Tabulation and Information Agent on or prior to the expiration of the consent solicitation and which is not revoked. The Registrant will also pay to each Consenting Holder of each series of Notes as to which Requisite Consents are received an additional consent fee of $1.00 for each $1,000 in principal amount of such Notes on the ninth day (or, if occurring on a weekend or holiday, the immediately following business day) of each month following the payment of the initial consent fee (beginning April 9, 2007) to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Registrant has filed with the SEC and furnished to Citibank, N.A., as trustee, the Quarterly Reports and (ii) July 9, 2007.

CSC COMMENCES CONSENT SOLICITATION FOR OUTSTANDING NOTES
 
 
          EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 21 - Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) announced today that it is soliciting consents from the holders of record, as of 5:00 p.m. on Feb. 20, 2007, of all of its outstanding 3.50% Notes due 2008, 6.25% Notes due 2009, 7.375% Notes due 2011 and 5.00% Notes due 2014 (together, the “Notes”). CSC is requesting a one-time waiver through July 9, 2007, of any default or event of default that has arisen prior to the effective date of the waiver by virtue of CSC’s failure to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnish to Citibank, N.A., the Trustee with respect to the Notes, and holders of the Notes, certain reports required to be so filed and furnished by CSC pursuant to the terms of the indentures governing the Notes. Holders of the Notes are referred to CSC’s Consent Solicitation Statement dated Feb. 21, 2007, and the related Letter of Consent for the detailed terms and conditions of the consent solicitation.
 
          As previously announced, CSC has not yet filed with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for either the fiscal quarter ended Sept. 29, 2006, or the fiscal quarter ended Dec. 29, 2006. On Dec. 8, 2006, CSC received a notice of default from the Trustee alleging a default under the various indentures governing the Notes arising from CSC’s failure to timely file the Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended Sept. 29, 2006. On Dec. 21, 2006, CSC obtained a waiver through March 9, 2007, from more than a majority of the holders of CSC’s outstanding 6.25% Notes with respect to its failure to

file the Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended Sept. 29, 2006. As of the date of the Consent Solicitation Statement, CSC has not received any notice of default from holders of 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of any series of Notes.
 
          CSC is offering an initial consent fee of a $1.25 in cash for each $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes to all holders of record on Feb. 20, 2007, who properly execute and deliver a Letter of Consent, that is not thereafter revoked, on or prior to the expiration of the consent solicitation. If CSC has not filed its Quarterly Reports with the SEC on or before 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the ninth day of each month (beginning April 9, 2007) following payment of the initial consent fee, CSC will pay to each consenting holder an additional $1.00 in cash for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes until the earlier of the date on which CSC has filed its Quarterly Reports with the SEC and July 9, 2007.
 
          The proposed waiver shall become effective with respect to each series of Notes promptly following the receipt of valid and unrevoked consents from holders representing a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes.
 
          The consent solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, March 5, 2007, unless otherwise extended by CSC with respect to one or more series of Notes. Holders may submit their Letters of Consent to the Tabulation Agent at any time on or prior to the expiration date. Holders may revoke their consents prior to the effectiveness of the proposed one-time waiver with respect to the applicable series of Notes as described in the Consent Solicitation Statement.
 
          CSC has retained Global Bondholder Services Corporation to serve as its Tabulation Agent for the consent solicitation. Requests for documents should be directed to Global Bondholder Services at (866) 470-3800 or (212) 430-3774.
