Item 5.  Other Events

     The registrant may, at its option,  report under this item any events, with
respect to which  information is not otherwise called for by this form, that the
registrant deems of importance to security holders.

     On February 7, 2002 registrant issued a press release entitled "Halliburton
Unit Settles Qui Tam Lawsuit".

     The following summarizes that press release:

     Registrant  announced  that its Kellogg Brown & Root,  Inc.  subsidiary has
settled a qui tam  lawsuit  filed in 1997 in Federal  Court in  California.  The
lawsuit alleged that Brown & Root had improperly billed the U.S.  government for
services provided under a government job order contract at Ft. Ord,  California.
Under the  settlement,  Brown & Root will pay $2 million  to the  United  States
government.  Brown & Root  denied  wrongdoing  in the  lawsuit and did not admit
liability in settling the lawsuit.  The United States agreed to suspend  further
investigation  and  forego  any  further  sanctions  with  regard to the Ft. Ord
contract. Although it believes that it properly administered the contract at Ft.
Ord, Kellogg Brown & Root settled the lawsuit in order to resolve the matter and
to avoid further  litigation.  Kellogg Brown & Root expects to continue its work
as a major contractor to the United States government in numerous projects.
