DIEGO, Calif. – July 10, 2007 - Cubic Corporation (Amex:
CUB) today announced the appointment of David W. Liddle to the
position of Director, Corporate Communications. Liddle, 42,
will be responsible for managing development, implementation
and administration of all aspects of Cubic’s external
and internal communications. The position reports directly to
Raymond L. deKozan, senior group vice president and director
of Cubic Corporation.
“David brings to Cubic a unique mix of skills, extensive
experiences and demonstrated successes covering a broad range

is to strengthen and improve the federal Buy America statute
as it relates to federally-funded transit projects.
Liddle designed and integrated the coalition’s media and
outreach activities, worked closely with the coalition’s
Washington representative on legislative strategy, and crafted
and executed the comprehensive communications program that enabled
the coalition members to realize their Buy America goals.

in political science from the University of Kentucky.
