Halliburton's KBR subsidiary has a record of gouging the gov ernment in contracts awarded without competition, Reps. Henry Waxman of California and John Dingell of Michigan con tended in a letter to the General Accounting Office. Halliburton spokeswoman Wendy Hall said the lawmakers have ignored the exemplary record of the Houston-based firm that employed Cheney as chief executive officer from 1995 to 2000 and still pays him deferred compensation for his services during that period. The lawmakers said federal procurement data showed that the government awarded KBR work worth more than $624 million from October 2000 through March 2002. Waxman is the senior minority member of the House Government Reform Committee, and Dingell holds the same position on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
