While sitting in a meeting with HORNE, I heard Phyllis Horne tell a client something I've never heard a contractor say during my 30+ years of government service: "If we come in under budget, we'll pass the savings back to you." In the highly competitive contracting world where a goal is to maximize profit, I knew that I was working with a CEO and a company of tremendous honesty and integrity.
