Versar CEO Chairs Opening Sessions at the 12th Annual Chemical Weapons Demilitarization Conference

SPRINGFIELD, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Versar, Inc. (NYSE Amex: VSR) today announced that Dr. Ted Prociv, President and
CEO of Versar, Inc. will chair the opening sessions of the 12th annual Chemical
Weapons Demilitarization Conference (CWD 2009) to be held May 19, 2009 in
Stratford-on-Avon, in the United Kingdom. The CWD Conference series is being
co-sponsored this year by the United States Army`s Chemical Materials Agency and
the United Kingdom`s Ministry of Defense as government sponsors, and SAIC and
Versar, Inc. as industry sponsors. Prior to joining Versar in 1999, Dr. Prociv
was Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army, responsible for the oversight of the
entire U.S. chemical weapons destruction program, at that time a $14.9 billion
effort. Previously, he was responsible for the oversight of all chemical and
biological programs within the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

According to Dr. Prociv, "Versar continues to work on numerous projects involved
with locating and disposing of such weapons in an environmentally safe and
efficient manner. We believe that our work will result in the complete
elimination of a weapon`s system which has little use in today`s strategic world
but by its very existence can cause severe residual danger to the population in
general. For this reason, Versar has volunteered to be a co-sponsor of the
Annual Chemical Demilitarization Conference."

Dr. Prociv continues, "It is an honor to chair the opening sessions of the
conference and introduce the international dignitaries who will present the
official statements of their respective countries. Our ultimate goal of this
conference is to promote international cooperation in accelerating the
destruction of these dangerous weapons."

The CWD Conference series began as a forum dedicated to the cooperation of
industry and government to present and discuss chemical weapon destruction
capabilities, systems, and policy related issues in order to facilitate the
destruction of the World`s possessor nations` stockpiles of chemical weapons.
The CWD venue affords a means of open discussions, presentations, and technical
reviews for International efforts that are currently being employed to rid the
world of these outdated and obsolete weapons of mass destruction in order to
meet the provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
