Exhibit 10(p)    
    

 
  AGREEMENT    
    

        This AGREEMENT ("Agreement") effective April 26, 2002, by and between CARL M. ALBERO ("Executive") and SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation ("SAIC"). 

        In
consideration of the following mutual promises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

        1.    Term of Employment.    

        SAIC
agrees to continue the employment of Executive and Executive agrees to continue being employed as an SAIC Sector Manager under the terms and conditions contained herein for the
period commencing April 26, 2002 and ending April 25, 2004 (the "Employment Term"). On April 25, 2004, the Employment Term will automatically extend for an additional one
(1) year period unless either party has provided the other party with written notice by January 31, 2004, of its decision not to extend the Employment Term for such additional one
(1) year period. Executive shall continue to serve as one of SAIC's appointed directors on the Board of Directors of AMSEC LLC ("AMSEC") throughout the Employment Term. This Agreement only
relates to Executive's employment relationship with SAIC and does not govern the terms of his employment as an employee of AMSEC. 

        2.    SAIC Stock Ownership and Consulting Employee Status.    

        If
the employment of Executive is terminated by SAIC for any reason other than cause (as defined below), Executive shall have the opportunity to transfer to Consulting Employee ("CE")
status for up
to four (4) years or if shorter, the period required to vest any unvested options ("Options") to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of SAIC ("SAIC Stock") or vesting SAIC Stock held by Executive. 

        (a)   While
employed as a CE, Executive will be paid a mutually agreed upon rate of pay for any consulting services he provides to SAIC and/or any of its subsidiaries. The
actual number of hours and/or days of consulting work Executive is offered, if any, will be at the sole discretion of SAIC. 

        (b)   While
employed as a CE, Executive will be provided with office space acceptable to Executive and will have the services of a part-time secretary. 

        (c)   While
employed as a CE, Executive will be eligible to participate in SAIC's group medical and dental plans and will be able to maintain his SAIC retirement plan accounts
to the extent permitted by the terms of the plans and applicable law. 

        (d)   While
employed as a CE, Executive will be able to retain his SAIC Stock and any Options. Such stock and options will remain on their normal vesting schedule. Following
Executive's retirement from CE status, he will be given the opportunity to participate in the SAIC Alumni Program which currently allows qualified employees the ability to retain their SAIC Stock for
a period of five (5) years after they retire, provided such program is available to SAIC employees at that time. 

        (e)   In
the event of Executive's death during his employment at SAIC or any of its subsidiaries, all SAIC Options and unvested SAIC Stock held by Executive shall immediately
vest for the benefit of Executive's estate. Such accelerated vesting is subject to final approval by the applicable SAIC Board Committees, if required. 

        2.    Covenants Not to Compete.    

        During
the five (5)-year period commencing on the date of this Agreement, Executive shall not compete, directly or indirectly, with SAIC or AMSEC LLC ("AMSEC"), interfere
with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between SAIC or AMSEC and any 

1

 

customer,
client, supplier, consultant or employee of SAIC or AMSEC, including, without limitation, employing or being an investor (representing more than a five percent (5%) equity interest) in, or
officer, director or consultant to, any person or entity which employs any person who was a key or technical employee of SAIC or AMSEC during the previous twelve (12) months. Any activity
competitive with an activity engaged in by SAIC or AMSEC shall include becoming an employee, officer, consultant or director of, or being an investor (representing more than a five percent (5%) equity
interest) in, or owner of, an entity or person engaged in the business areas then engaged in by SAIC or AMSEC. 

        It
is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 2 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in
each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular portion of this Section 2 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Section 2 shall be
deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of this section in the particular jurisdiction
in which such adjudication is made. 

        3.    Termination of Employment.    

        Executive
is an employee-at-will, and his employment may be terminated by SAIC at any time. SAIC shall be required to make a cash payment to Executive in the
amount of the balance of his annual current salary through April 25, 2004, if either of the following events occurs: (i) SAIC terminates the employment of Executive for any reason other
than cause (as defined herein) or (ii) if a Change in Control of AMSEC occurs and Executive's employment at AMSEC terminates within six months of such Change in Control. 

        "Termination
for Cause" shall mean the following: 

          (i)  Willful
failure of Executive to perform his duties as proscribed by SAIC or its Board of Directors; or 

         (ii)  Dishonesty
of employee materially and adversely affecting AMSEC or SAIC; or 

        (iii)  Drunkenness
or use of drugs or any controlled substance which (1) interferes with employee's ability to perform any of his job duties and responsibilities, or
(2) violates SAIC's Administrative Policy A-18 "Drug and Substance Abuse"; or 

        (iv)  Employee's
conviction of a felony; or 

         (v)  Any
conduct by employee which violates SAIC's Administrative Policy A-26 "Computer Security and Usage" or constitutes (1) the commission of sexual
harassment, (2) race, sex or age discrimination, (3) fraud or (4) gross misconduct and which is materially injurious to the Company or SAIC. 

        "Change
in Control" means (i) any merger, consolidation, or other business combination of the AMSEC with any other entity (other than a subsidiary of AMSEC), excluding any such
transaction in which the shareholders of AMSEC immediately prior to such transaction continue to own immediately after the transaction securities representing at least 51% of the total ordinary voting
power of the entity surviving such transaction and SAIC owns at least 51% of the securities held by the persons who were shareholders of AMSEC immediately prior to the transaction, (ii) the
acquisition after the date hereof by any "person" or "group" of "persons" (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (other than a subsidiary of such
person) of beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-1 and Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act) of 25% or more of the equity
securities of AMSEC from SAIC or a subsidiary of SAIC, and (iii) the acquisition by any person or group of persons of all or substantially all of the assets of AMSEC.

        4.    Material Changes.    

        In
the event SAIC materially and adversely changes Executive's responsibilities, then Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment with SAIC and receive Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00); provided Executive provides three (3) months prior written notice to SAIC. Within thirty (30) days following such a termination, SAIC shall pay to
Executive in cash a termination bonus in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), provided the required prior written notice has been given. 

        5.    Indemnification.    

        Each
party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless against all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the enforcement of this
Agreement and the collection of any judgment rendered) incurred by such party with respect to the enforcement of their rights under this Agreement. 

        6.    Modification, Amendment, Waiver.    

        No
modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless set forth in writing signed by SAIC and Executive. SAIC or Executive's failure at any
time to enforce any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provision and will not affect the right of SAIC and Executive thereafter to enforce each and every
provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 

        7.    Severability.    

        Whenever
possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceable in
such jurisdiction, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or any provision hereof in any other jurisdiction. 

        8.    Descriptive Headings.    

        The
descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience and do not constitute a part of this Agreement. 

        9.    Choice of Law.    

        All
questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions. 

        10.    Venue.    

        Any
dispute, claim or controversy of any kind or nature, including but not limited to the issue of arbitrability, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, or
any disputes which may arise in the future, shall be settled in a final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to the employment arbitration
rules of the AAA. The Arbitrator must be an active member of the AAA's National Labor Panel and must be selected by the "alternate striking" procedure. Each party will bear its own costs in the
arbitration process. All costs incurred in enforcing the arbitration award in court will be borne by the losing party. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any Virginia court having jurisdiction
thereof.

Mr. Matthew
J. Desch

17194 Preston Road, #102

Dallas, Texas 75248-1221 

Dear
Matt: 

        I
am pleased to offer you a position as Chief Executive Officer for Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (Telcordia)1,
reporting directly to me as Chairman of Telcordia's Board. If you accept this position you will be nominated to membership on the Board of Directors of Science Applications International Corporation
(SAIC) and the Board of Directors of Telcordia Technologies, Inc. Your assigned office location will be in New Jersey. Your monthly base salary will be $41,666.67, which is equivalent to a rate
of $500,000.00 per year. We would like you to start work on Monday, July 8, 2002. 

	1
	Nomination
to officer status is subject to Board approval. 

        As
the senior member of the Telcordia management team, you will be eligible to participate in our annual incentive compensation plan, which has both a short-term and
long-term component. Your target short-term performance bonus for the Telcordia fiscal year 2003 (FY03) which ends on January 31, 2003, will be  $500,000, with the potential for up to $750,000 for extraordinary performance. Short-term
bonuses are payable in cash and fully vested SAIC stock. You will also be eligible for a long-term performance bonus in the form of vesting stock and stock granted on option, the details
of which will be explained in a separate letter. Your bonus for FY03 will be based on both corporate performance and achievement of your FY03 objectives (as determined by the Chairman of the Board),
and may be pro-rated based on the number of months you are employed during FY03. 

        This
offer of employment also includes significant sign-on incentives and the opportunity to acquire stock in the SAIC. Specific information on the stock features of your
employment offer will be covered in a separate letter.

        Telcordia
will cover the cost of relocating you and your family from Texas to New Jersey, with relocation to occur at your earliest convenience. You will be reimbursed for the actual
costs of relocating your household, including the cost of temporary living expenses, moving household goods, home travel to New Jersey prior to
relocation, real estate acquisition expenses and loss protection benefits. You will also be provided a no interest "bridge loan" if needed, until your home in Texas is sold. After relocation expenses
have been approved, Telcordia will provide you with a one time "gross up" to your base salary to cover your federal, state and local income and employment tax liability on the relocation benefits
provided by Telcordia.2 

	2
	You
agree to repay any relocation payments from Telcordia, should you resign your employment within one year of your start date. 

        If
your employment is terminated by Telcordia for reasons other than cause,3 or if you resign because you were demoted and/or because your base salary and/or target
incentive compensation were reduced, Telcordia will provide you with separation benefits equal to eighteen months of your base salary paid as a lump
sum, relocation benefits (not to exceed the benefit level provided in the preceding paragraph) and two years consulting status for purposes of vesting your unvested SAIC securities. The severance
benefits described in this letter will be Telcordia's sole and exclusive 

obligation
to you in the event you are terminated for reasons other than cause or if you resign for the reasons described herein. In return for these separation benefits, you will be required to sign
a release and a non-compete/non-solicitation agreement.4 

	3
	"Cause"
shall be defined as (i) a willful failure to substantially perform your duties, (ii) gross misconduct or, (iii) conviction of a felony.

	4
	Should
Telcordia employ you, it is understood that you or the Company may terminate this employment relationship at any time, with or without notice. 

        As
an employee of Telcordia, you will be eligible to receive the fringe benefit package described in the documents that are being sent to you today via FedEx by Telcordia. Rozan Brown  (973) 829-3372
will arrange a special briefing for you on Telcordia benefits at your convenience. Please complete the following forms
