Dear Mr. Murray:

I am writing on behalf of the entire management team at Computer Associates to
tell you how much we appreciate your efforts in forming a grass roots coalition
to protect the Long Island economy. As long time members of the community with a
stake in its future growth, it is encouraging to see so many people come
together to rally around these issues. We are extremely grateful that Long
Island's business and political leaders share our view of the role our company
has played in maintaining the economic vibrancy of this community.


Thank you for your support.

                                                     Yours sincerely,

                                                     /s/ Sanjay Kumar

                                                     Sanjay Kumar

                       STATEMENT FROM COMPUTER ASSOCIATES

Computer Associates is deeply appreciative of the efforts of Christopher Murray
and the law firm of Reisman, Peirez and Reisman in organizing a coalition of
Long Island's business and political leaders to protect the Long Island economy
from the possible effects of the current proxy contest. It is encouraging to see
so many people come together to rally around this issue.


We are extremely grateful that Long Island's leaders appreciate, as we certainly
do, the role our company has played in helping build and maintain the economic
vibrancy here.

For almost all of our 25 years, Long Island has been our home, first in Jericho,
then in Garden City and now in Islandia. Nearly all the 3,000 employees at our
company's World Headquarters not only live and work here, but they and their
families are an integral part of the businesses, schools, houses of worship and
the many other organizations and institutions that contribute to the unique
community we call Long Island. With the support of the coalition -- and that of
our shareholders, employees and customers -- we will call Long Island 'home' for
many years to come.

While we could not be here in person today, we know your efforts will go a long
way to raise the public's awareness of these issues.
