- Mike Dickerson, CSC director of media relations:
"The corporate headquarters was based in El Segundo, and that remained the case until Mike Laphen was named chairman, pres and CEO in May 2007. And he was based in Falls Church. And he made the decision to remain in Falls Church to remain as close to the heart of the business as possible. . . . Additionally, a lot of our key corporate executives have decided to retire, and their successors are making their headquarters in Falls Church. As a result, there’s an overwleming business case for consolidating the executive leadership and the corporate staff into one geographical location with our global operational headquarters."
- El Segundo Mayor Kelly McDowell:
"We’ve helped them a lot with their security arrangements by closing off part of a traffic lane to enable them to increase the distance from any vehicle that might be on the street and their building. . . . Their old CEO apparently had a tradition of putting the CEOs office on the first floor. So instead of moving the CEO’s office to an upper floor when they became more security conscious, they put up a big wall. . . . Their secruity concerns were hightened when they started doing (security) work in Iraq. . . . And that increased their terror profile."
