CMARK International, Inc., a leading Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) provider of service and products to federal government institutions and facilities, is pleased to announce that it has received uplifting news from the White House that constitutes a major victory for all SDVOSBs. On December 22, 2006, President Bush signed a veterans' extension bill, the Veterans' Programs Extension Act of 2006, which will continue many programs already in progress, as well as include a number of significant expansions. The bill contains provisions that will provide the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs with additional tools to help it contract with veteran and disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This is a decisive win for CMARK and other comparable companies.

The CEO and President of CMARK International, Inc., Charles W. Jones, Jr., had no difficulty seeing the upside this new legislation has in store for his company. "We have already gained momentum over the last three years as a result of the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, and this latest development will undoubtedly heighten CMARK awareness within the USDVA, one of our largest customers. The rewards from this will ripple through many facets of our business. This bill contains many strong points that CMARK embraces, with a few leading the way. We are especially pleased with the mandatory goals for contracting participation, as well as the "sole source" and restricted competition provisions. CMARK, as well as all veteran-owned businesses, will benefit from this day forward."

The government's proactive commitment to maintaining and adding to regulated, mandatory veteran-owned small business contracting benefits is a step in the right direction for CMARK. These advances shall continue to assist CMARK's effort to achieve increased revenue and profitability.
