SAIC Captures Top Honors at the 2006 Telly Awards

SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) today announced that the company has won three 2006 Telly Awards, including a Silver Telly, the highest honor awarded.

SAIC received the Silver Telly for a 12-minute video on the company's extraordinary response in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
