Jeffrey Bleustein joined Harley-Davidson in 1975 and has led the company to innovations in
both engineering and retailing. He transformed the dealer-owned retail stores into modem
retail establishments and launched an aggressive licensing program that improved the
Company's image while establishing a new and successful profit center. Under Bleustein's

NEWS IN BRIEF
Congress questions
Halliburton dealings
WASHINGTON (AP)
Questioning whether Vice
President Dick Cheney's former
company has received favored
treatment from the Pentagon,
senior House Democrats asked
Congress' investigative agency
Tuesday to delve into contracts
awarded Halliburton Co. over
the past two years.
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.
