These decreases were partially offset by a $17 million, net increase in revenue from contracts that were ramping up in the first quarter of 2008 and net increased level of volumes and scope of services we provide.

Highlight of Business Operations:
We measure earnings growth using diluted earnings per share, which is a measure of our effectiveness in delivering profitable growth. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.24 per share from $0.23 per share for the first quarter of 2008. This increase came primarily from a decrease in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 to 30.0%, as compared to the effective rate of 37.8% for the first quarter of 2008. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2009 was lower primarily due to a $3 million tax benefit attributable to the resolution of certain tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service related to our consolidated federal income tax returns for the tax years 2003 and 2004. The change in our tax rate resulted in a benefit of approximately $0.03 per diluted share.Government Services revenue decreased $6 million, or 3.7% for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008.
