The heat is on.

Economist; 6/26/2004, Vol. 371 Issue 8381, p66-66, 2/3p, 1c
The article focuses on Halliburton, an energy and engineering-services company that has received much negative publicity since the start of the war in Iraq. America’s vice-president, Dick Cheney, used to run the firm. Its Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR) division has been dogged by allegations of favouritism. Henry Waxman, a Democratic Congressman, is conducting hearings on the matter. One controversy has concerned the number and cost of meals served by Halliburton to soldiers. Pentagon auditors declared that KBR may have charged taxpayers for more meals than it actually served. Revenues of Halliburton’s engineering and reconstruction arm, which includes KBR, soared last year, due mostly to work in Iraq. The firm’s two contracts in that country–to provide logistical support and to rebuild oil infrastructure–could eventually bring KBR over $18 billion in revenues. Yet while the rest of Halliburton increased operating profits in 2003, the engineering division posted an operating loss. KBR is a labour-intensive, low-margin business, in contrast to Halliburton’s oil-field services arm, and it exposes employees to great danger. Indeed, KBR may well be weighing on Halliburton’s share price. The political controversy around Cheney’s role may have made investors nervous. the-heat-is-on-halliburton.doc
