To: Employees of EDO Corporation
From: Steve Gaffney, President, ITT Defense

As president of ITT Defense, I want to share with you the excitement we feel about the prospect of combining our defense business with the EDO Corporation. We have long recognized EDO as a leader in advanced military technologies and services, and believe that the combination of our two strong teams will create an exciting and rewarding future for us all.

ITT and EDO are both successful companies with proud histories. We both take pride in our engineering strength and our support of the customers' mission. We both have strong value systems that guide the way we do business. I believe that bringing the two companies together, with our complementary capabilities in electronic warfare, communications, intelligence and services, along with new capabilities in integrated structures and undersea warfare, will enable us to better support the transformational needs of the military. Our combined broad customer base will allow us to take our technologies to new markets to create a stronger, growing company- this really is all about growth! We have shared this story with ITT employees in our company's internal news magazine called "In Our Hands." You can read this story online at www.itt.com/downloads/ioh_2007_fall_engl.pdf by scrolling to page 5.

Since we announced our offer to combine our companies, ITT Corp. CEO Steve Loranger and I have had the pleasure of meeting some of EDO's leaders, and last week we began visiting EDO employees at some of your facilities in New York, Utah and California. Everywhere we have visited we've been impressed by the pride and enthusiasm of your colleagues. These informal meetings have been invaluable in starting to establish the mutual trust we will need to be successful once the transaction is approved.

We must wait for the remaining regulatory and EDO shareholder approvals to complete the transaction. In the meantime, I can tell you that everyone at ITT Defense is eagerly anticipating the time when we can join with you to work as One Team with One Mission. I believe that this combination will bring new opportunities for EDO and ITT employees and customers. Together, we will create a very exciting future.

ITT

Steve
