         INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure

         On  February  27,  2004  registrant  issued  a press  release  entitled
"Different Circumstances Require Different Tactics in Iraq."

         The text of the press release is as follows:

            DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE DIFFERENT TACTICS IN IRAQ

   KBR Tiger Team provides additional internal control point for subcontracts

The  following is a statement  from KBR President  and Chief  Executive  Officer
Randy Harl as a response to news reports on an internal document.

It is unimaginable  that a business news  publication  would publish an internal
proprietary working draft document that involves war operations, security, legal
and competitive issues for KBR. The document says: For discussion purposes only.
That certainly didn't mean discussion in the media.

Otherwise the internal  memo that has been reported on is completely  consistent
with our corporate  philosophy.  If we see a problem or if someone,  such as our
client, raises the possibility of a problem, we immediately investigate.  That's
what we are doing here with our Tiger Team.  Daily our people  confront and test
the status quo to make improvements for our customers.  Other companies may have
a "just get by attitude" but that is not how it works at KBR.

The bottom  line is: This is a  dramatically  different  mission  than it was in
March 2003.  Over 11 months,  it has become the largest  undertaking of its kind
since the Marshall Plan. When the mission changed, KBR began a mission to change
with it.

KBR's  contracts in Iraq and our  performance  in a war zone are  undergoing  an
unprecedented  level of  scrutiny.  The Tiger Team was formed to ensure that all
our  operations  fulfill  the KBR  promise to deliver  quality  results  for our
clients.  That's  what we are  doing  even  with the  unprecedented  barrage  of
inquiries, accusations and political innuendos.

In a war zone,  you have to adapt  and  apply  different  tactics  to  different
circumstances. For example, KBR had to "ramp up" meal service between June, when
we served 50,000  soldiers daily,  and July,  when we had to plan,  purchase and
prepare for 130,000  soldiers  each day.  More soldiers also meant more laundry,
and it was a huge upsurge in everything  from personnel to detergent.  Recently,
the military decided to provide "hard-sided"  shelter for the soldiers.  On this
issue,  we processed an order in December for some $300 million of  "containers"
that will be used to construct  shelter.  Every operational change causes shifts
in people, processes, computer systems, files and equipment.

At any given  time,  the amount we are "out of pocket"  has  amounted up to $800
million.  There are very few  companies  in the world that could or would  adapt
this quickly while,  at the same time,  finance the operation.  KBR pays for the
equipment, supplies and manpower and is reimbursed much later.

We will  continue to support the soldiers even though the price for this mission
is the cost of having to defend ourselves at home.
