                    HALLIBURTON UNIT SETTLES QUI TAM LAWSUIT


DALLAS,  Texas--  Halliburton  Company  announced today 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 this matter
and to avoid  further  litigation.  It expects to  continue  its work as a major
contractor to the Unites States government in numerous projects.
