Gentlemen:

We were previously principal accountants for EDO Corporation ("EDO") and, under
the date of February 15, 2000, we reported on the consolidated financial
statements of EDO and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998.  On May 30, 2000, our appointment as principal accountants was
terminated.  We have read EDO's statements included under Item 4 of its Form
8-K dated June 2, 2000 and we agree with such statements, except that we are
not in a position to agree or disagree with EDO's statement that the change in
auditors was recommended by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or
approved by the Board of Directors.

Very truly yours,

KPMG LLP
