Dwight.Hanger@smawins.com � � We the undersigned SM&A proposal
managers wish to express our unqualified support for Mrs. Cathy
McCarthy, her corporate leadership team and current board of
directors. Together we agree that any further change of management
at this time could damage the viability of our company and its
stock price. This management team took control less than a year ago
and to replace them would disrupt operations by continuing senior
management changes we have been experiencing over the past 18
months. � We feel Mrs. McCarthy, her team, and this board developed
a comprehensive strategic plan and are most qualified to guide us
along its path toward financial growth, providing long-term benefit
to all shareholders. Through directing the development and
implementation of this plan, Mrs. McCarthy has demonstrated that
she understands what it takes to make SM&A grow while
increasing long-term shareholder value. � We represent the heritage
that this company's reputation was built upon and have worked with
both the past and present SM&A leadership. We are significant
shareholders, as well as the holders of SM&A's tradition of
excellence. � Please note, this letter is offered by SM&A's
largest revenue generators, our most senior and tenured proposal
managers. It is forwarded without solicitation from, or knowledge
of Cathy McCarthy, her leadership team or any of the SM&A Board
of Directors. � Respectfully signed: � 1. Richard Agopsowicz � 2.
Mike Bibby � 3. Pat Cosimano � 4. George Coutoumanos � 5. Rick
Darco � 6. Erich Feigel � 7. David Folts � 8. Bob Gurin � 9. Holly
