    James Baker Resigns From EDS Board of Directors 
 
    PLANO, Texas, Dec. 10 -- EDS (NYSE: EDS) today announced James A. Baker III 
has resigned from its board of directors following his appointment this month by 
President George W. Bush to lead an effort to restructure and reduce Iraq's foreign debt.  
    "We wish Jim well.  He has provided invaluable counsel to EDS over the 
years and has been particularly helpful to me during my first nine months with 
the company," said EDS Chairman and CEO Mike Jordan.  "Given the requirements 
of Jim's new role for President Bush, however, we fully understand his 
decision."  
    Since 1993, Baker has been a senior partner of the Houston-based law firm 
Baker Botts LLP and a senior counselor of The Carlyle Group, a merchant 
banking firm.  Baker served as senior counselor to the President of the United 
States and White House Chief of Staff from 1992 to 1993, Secretary of State 
from 1989 to 1992, Treasury Secretary from 1985 to 1988, and White House Chief 
of Staff from 1981 to 1985.   
    "It has been an honor to serve on the EDS board, one of only two public 
company boards that I've served on since leaving government service in 1993," 
said Baker.  "I feel fortunate to have been associated with some exceptionally 
talented individuals committed to EDS' success.  Having participated in Mike 
Jordan's selection as CEO, I have great confidence in his leadership and that 
of the EDS management team in meeting the challenges of the future."    
    Baker had served on EDS' board since 1996.  With the resignation, EDS will 
have eight directors, including two management directors.
