Waxman complains
Documents show that an emergency contract the Bush administration gave to Halliburton Co. to extinguish Iraqi oil fires also gave the firm a more lucrative role in getting the country's oil system up and running, the Associated Press reports.
Rep. Henry A. Waxman, California Democrat, said the administration was hiding the expanded role of the Houston company, formerly run by Vice President Dick Cheney.
A spokeswoman for Halliburton said the company's initial announcement of the contract on March 24 disclosed the larger role for its KBR subsidiary.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in a letter to Mr. Waxman on Friday, disclosed that the no-bid contract included not only extinguishing fires but "operation of facilities and distribution of products."
According to Agence France-Presse, documents released by Mr. Waxman also show that Halliburton has done business in Iran, Iraq and Libya for years despite U.S. embargoes, according to documents released by a Democratic lawmaker.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Mr. Waxman said Halliburton's dealings date from the 1980s but "appear to have continued during the period between 1995 and 2000, when Vice President Cheney headed the company; and they are apparently ongoing even today."
Halliburton spokesman Wendy Hall said the company has foreign subsidiaries that operate within U.S. law, a point Mr. Waxman did not dispute.
