Halliburton is a parent company which owns a number of subsidiaries.  Basically, it's a company that owns companies.\n\nIt's the same idea as a contractor when you are building a house.  You can hire a carpenter and a plumber and an electrician and a decorator.  Or, you can hire a single company that employs all those people and have them do the work.  That single company is Halliburton.

the Top Ten shareholders for Halliburton Company, Inc., are as follows: (see biz.yahoo.com/hd/h/hal.html):\n\n#10: The Vanguard Group, with 7.6 million shares of Halliburton stock, worth about $176 million. Vanguard, also 10th largest mutual-fund shareholder in Halliburton, is a huge owner in ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. It moved onto this list recently when Dallas-based Maverick Capital, privately owned by the Wylie family, moved off. Vice President Cheney's disclosure statement (above) shows millions of his retirement money invested through Vanguard.\n\n#9: Lord Abbett & Co., with about 8 million shares of Halliburton. Lord Abbett's trustees, who manage billions controlled by this investment firm, include Bush uncle William H. T. Bush. Lord Abbett is also one of Halliburton's top ten mutual fund holders (another 4.7 million shares). \n\n#8: Deutsche Bank, with 8.3 million shares of Halliburton. Deutsche Bank was home to Alvin B. Krongard, now Bush's number-three man at the CIA. Krongard, whom the CIA web site lists as a longtime consultant, was a director at Alex Brown Bankers Trust, which got a multi-million management contract with FMR (see #7).\n\n#7: FMR Corporation (Fidelity Management & Research), with 10 million shares. FMR, the world's largest mutual fund company, and Wellington (see #2, below) are by far the biggest shareholders in TB Woods Corp., where presidential cousin Craig Stapleton was a director before becoming ambassador to the Czech Republic. FMR also owns big in United Defense/Carlyle, connected to former President George H. W. Bush, and Fresh Del Monte, where presidential brother Marvin P. Bush is back on the board. Interestingly, FMR also owns about 50,000 shares of Harken Energy, George W. Bush's old stomping grounds (current value: about $20,000). Fidelity's Magellan Fund is also the second largest mutual fund holder in Halliburton.\n\n#6: Putnam Investment Manage-ment, LLC, with more than 12.5 million shares. Putnam also owns stock in United Defense/the Carlyle Group and in Fresh Del Monte. Putnam is another top mutual fund holder in Halliburton.\n\n#5: State Street Corporation, with 13 million shares. State Street, which reportedly controls $6 trillion in investments, recently revealed plans for a multi-million deal with (#8) Deutsche Bank, and owns $4.5B worth of Morgan Stanley (#3, below). State Street is also hugely invested in ExxonMobil, one of Saddam's biggest customers, and BP, which started life as "Iraq Petroleum." Also owns big in United Defense/Carlyle.\n\n#4: Barclays Bank PLC, with 17.5 million shares of Halliburton. Barclays is also into United Defense and Fresh Del Monte, and has successfully hung on to 85,000 shares of Harken Energy.\n\n#3: Morgan Stanley, with over 20 million shares. Morgan Stanley, among other connections on this list, is also a shareholder in United Defense and Fresh Del Monte, as well as in #8 Deutsche Bank.\n\n#2: Wellington Management Co., LLP: Headquartered in Boston, Wellington calls itself one of America's oldest investment firms. It holds about 23 million shares, or more than half a billion dollars' worth, of Halliburton, and is linked with most of the rest of this list. \n\n#1: Capital Research and Manage-ment Company, with 25 million shares, also worth over half a billion dollars. Los Angeles-based Capital Group is also a major investor in military contractors Lockheed and Raytheon, and is linked with FMR and Wellington in other large holdings. \n\nVice presidential candidates have traditionally been chosen for the political advantage of a background, region, age, etc., different from that of the presidential candidate. The American system of orderly transmission of power indulges this political expediency partly because it helps prevent the formation of a behind-the-scenes cabal. Good idea.\n\nThis list footnotes some of the recent public discussion about Halliburton. On Meet the Press Sept. 14, Cheney

The pay for these jobs is much higher than in the states. Call Halliburton, they hire most of the civilians in Iraq.

Contact Halliburton. They have a military contract with a subsidiary called KBR or Kellogg, Brown and Root.\nI actually worked with them a little when I was there a few months ago. They have locations all over the middle east.\nSee link below, and good luck.

I wouldn't. An indictment could come out any day which would send the stock down. Haliburton should be OK for another year or so though because they have contracts to fill that cannot be transferred to anyone else, regardless of what sort of politicking goes on between now and then. As long as their accounting is correct the company is still solid even if the hold board is removed for wrong-doing. This stock is a "sell" in my book.

look for Senator Waxman to look into this and other issues regarding military and defense contracts by spring 07\nThe republican controlled senate has only devoted 12 hours of testimony towards Haliburtons massive fraud this is totally unacceptable.\n\nChairwoman Susan Collins (R-Maine) has steadfastly refused to hold hearings on the issue in the more than two years since the start of the war in Iraq, despite — Collins says because of — multiple executive branch investigations of Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root. \n\n“We should not be in our committee spineless,” Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) said in a recent interview. “We should go ahead and investigate this.” \n\nSince May 9, 2003, Lautenberg, a junior member of the panel, has sent five letters to Collins requesting hearings on various alleged misdeeds of KBR and Halliburton . \n\nIn his most recent letter on April 26, Lautenberg outlined several issues the committee could probe, including: \n\n• An April 2005 State Department report that found major cost overruns and “poor performance” by Halliburton on a $1.2 billion contract to repair Iraqi oil fields. \n\n• The Defense Department’s decision to override its own auditors when it decided in February not to withhold payments from Halliburton until questions about overcharges were answered. \n\n• Allegations by an Army Corps of Engineers whistleblower that Halliburton was unfairly and improperly awarded its no-bid contract with the U.S. government. \n\n• Findings by Pentagon auditors that Halliburton overcharged the government $61 million for gasoline imports in Iraq as well as $27.4 million for troops’ meals in Iraq. \n\n• Allegations that Halliburton employees received $6.3 million in kickbacks from Kuwaiti businessmen in exchange for subcontracting deals. \n\n• Allegations that KBR employees abandoned trucks, each costing $85,000, due to flat tires and other repairable problems.

I think this is what you are referring to: \n\nBERKELEY, CA — A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities." \n\nThe contract — announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR — calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when. \n\nTo date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a "contingency contract" and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law. \n\nThese are interesting times.

this will give you a brief idea \n\nBharat Petroleum's ERP implementation is one of the biggest of its kind in the country. A look at what this petro giant did to bring it all together.\n\nHow do you streamline processes in a company with 210 branches and more than 10,000 people? This was the question that worried the management at Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) before it decided to try out an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) package called SAP R/3.\n\nTaking Stock of the situation\n\nThe implementation had begun in phases in April 2000. The network was redesigned and structured for the nationwide exercise. The company has 5,200-odd executive staff who had to be connected. Now the network is large, robust and able to support all of SAP R/3's requirements through a centralized systems architecture.\n\nWay back in December 1997, BPCL implemented a VSAT-based WAN (Wide Area Network) with backup from I-Net and OilComNet. Currently, there are redundant links using connections from VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal), Oil ComNet, ISDN, leased lines and even dial-up connecting remote locations.\n\nPlans for a Private Hub\n\nBut General Manager, Information Systems, Anand Teltumbde, said his company plans to have a private VSAT hub in Noida: "That's crucial because India's bandwidth resources are limited." So now BPCL has seven PAMA (Permanent Assigned Multiple Access) links nationwide. It hopes to upgrade those to DAMA (Demand Assigned Multiple Access) links soon.\n\nPAMA is a technology by which a particular VSAT channel is assigned solely for communication between two stations. DAMA involves bursty satellite data transfer. There are two levels of channel access. The first level is for short reservation packets containing information regarding the station's demand. The second level is for the actual data messages that are typically longer than the request packets.\n\nInternet Gateway Access Systems have been deployed at the company's central office in Mumbai and at regional offices in Kolkata, Chennai and New Delhi. It also has corporation-wide e-mail with MS Exchange, and MS Outlook 98 as client. With this, OmniFax has been integrated to cut down on fax costs.

One of the world’s largest suppliers of reliable products and services to the oil and gas industry since 1919. Vice-President Cheney is a stockholder in this company and was responsible for Halliburton obtaining contracts for 'services rendered' in Iraq from the git-go. At the time, I smelled a rat. Collusion. I still do!\n\n                                                             HANK (Josh)
