      BROWN & ROOT AWARDED ARMY SUSTAINMENT CONTRACT

     DALLAS, Texas -- Brown & Root Government Services, a
business unit of Halliburton Company (NYSE-HAL), will continue
logistics support services through the duration of Operation
Joint Guard in the Balkans.  The U.S. Army awarded the $137.9
million contract through May 1998 with two six-month option
periods, which would bring the total contract value to $270
million.

     Since November 1995, Brown & Root has provided engineering
and logistics services under the Army's Logistics Civil
Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) contract.  The LOGCAP program uses
a civilian contractor to provide logistics services to U.S.
troops deployed during contingency operations.  Brown & Root's
new logistics sustainment contract is not part of the LOGCAP
program.

     "This contract helps provide a continuity of service to the
8,500 U.S. troops currently in the Balkans," says Randy Harl,
president, Brown & Root Government Services.  "Our troop support
has offered a significant cost savings to the government, and we
plan to continue to provide complete and cost effective service
for this critical mission."

     Brown & Root's first task order calls for support in
Bosnia/Croatia and Hungary.  Services provided to U.S. troops
will include base camp maintenance, basic life support, food,
water and laundry service, general and equipment maintenance, and
transportation.

     Halliburton Company is one of the world's largest
diversified energy services, engineering, maintenance, and
construction companies.  Founded in 1919, Halliburton provides a
broad range of energy services and products, industrial and
marine engineering and construction services.
