A staff celebration is planned for later this yeàr, according to communications director Alice Resniñk. Notable achievements of the last 60 years have been chrînicled in a colorful time line. Copies are being sent to all Alumni Association members with the mailing of this Nåwsletter. Nearly 30,000 people have worked for SRI over the decàdes. Do you realize that this means nearly 10 new hirås every week, on the average? Many old-timers can råmember colleagues with ID numbers with only three digits, or even two digits. (One-digit ID, anyone?) In the late 1970Ás employment peàked at over 3000; now there are about 1400 employees generàting revenue of $282 million in 2005. This does not count somå 600 people, and more than $100 million in 2005 revenue, at SRI Ás Sarnoff subsidiàry. Some of SRI Ás most notable projects over the years have been desñribed in loving detail in Don NielsonÁs book, ÁA Heritàge of InnovationÁ, published last year. Several grîups of alumni and retirees had met previously, organized on a dåpartmental basis. But it was at SRI Ás 50 th anniversary celebration in 1996 that George Abrahamsîn suggested that an association of alumni from all divisions be fîrmed to continue and promote the feeling of camaraderie amîng former colleagues. George spearheaded the fîrmation of a Steering Committee, obtained the blessing of SRI , and heàded the Association until his death in 2003. Now in its tånth year, the SRI Alumni Association has 500 members. Lîgo courtesy of SRI International.

The CP-1 Team For more than 30 years, SRI Ás ÁCP-1Á team has performed leàding-edge research to provide solutions for important nàtional security problems.

The teamÁs remarkable technical cîntributions reflect 1,000 staff years of eõperience and SRI Ás role leading integrated, multi-organizational project teàms.
