                 RANGER GOVERNANCE ISSUES STATEMENT REGARDING
               ISS RECOMMENDATION FOR COMPUTER ASSOCIATES BOARD

Dallas, TX, August 10, 2001 - Ranger Governance, Ltd. today issued the following
statement regarding Institutional Shareholder Services' (ISS) recommendation on
the election of directors at Computer Associates' (NYSE: CA) annual meeting of
shareholders on August 29, 2001:

     "We are disappointed that ISS has endorsed the incumbent board of
     a company we believe is not growing in any meaningful way. We
     believe that the board and management of Computer Associates need
     to change in order to improve the company's performance, culture
     and growth. We believe our message of corporate governance,
     accountable and flexible management and enhancement of
     shareholder value is being heard by shareholders."

Ranger noted that ISS indicated that:

     "Mr. Wyly and his colleagues have mounted a credible case for
     change at CA, and now offer shareholders a business model that
     has clearly worked in the past. The dissidents have also put
     together an `all-star' board whose credentials are nearly
     unimpeachable to oversee the implementation of Ranger's plan for
     CA."*

     "[Wyly] has come up with a fairly detailed alternative to
     management's plan. Furthermore, his strategy appears well-
     tailored to remedy some of the fundamental weaknesses of CA's
     business in the past, customer-centric as it is (the plan also
     would allow customers to buy only those CA products they truly
     want and need, addressing previous complaints that many CA
     customers were forced to buy products that they never used, or
     `shelf-ware')."*
