HALLIBURTON NAMES DICK CHENEY CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
DALLAS, Texas -- Halliburton Company (NYSE-HAL) today named former
Secretary of Defense Richard B. (Dick) Cheney president and chief executive
officer of the company effective October 1, 1995. Cheney, who is in the process
of relocating to Dallas, joins the Halliburton Company board of directors
immediately.
Cheney, 54, will succeed Thomas H. Cruikshank as chief executive officer of
Halliburton. Cruikshank, 63, will continue to serve as the company's chairman of
the board until his planned retirement at year-end 1995, following 26 years of
service with Halliburton. Cheney will become chairman of the board upon
Cruikshank's retirement.
"Dick Cheney has been a world leader for many years," said Cruikshank, "so,
obviously, I m extremely excited about him taking over the leadership of
Halliburton Company. His experience and the high-level of respect he commands
throughout the world will complement the strong Halliburton operational
management team now in place, and will be invaluable in helping shape and grow
the company in the rapidly changing global marketplace. I can think of no better
person to lead this company into the next century than Dick Cheney."

company with a strong history and tremendous future," commented Cheney. "I m
eager to get started working with Halliburton's employees, customers, and
shareholders. Halliburton is poised for worldwide growth and I look forward to
helping Halliburton achieve its objectives."
