HALLIBURTON CEO ANNOUNCES COMPLETION
OF MAJOR WORKFORCE REDUCTIONS
DALLAS, Texas - Dick Cheney, Chief Executive Officer of Halliburton Company
(NYSE:HAL), announced today that contrary to recent press reports, there are no
plans at present for further major layoffs at the company.
During the last six months, Halliburton has successfully implemented a merger
with Dresser Industries. This merger, coupled with the global downturn of oil
and gas business, has driven the elimination of more than 9,000 positions in
Halliburton's energy services sector.
While there may be a few additional layoffs, Cheney said Halliburton does not
anticipate further major personnel reductions, unless market conditions warrant.
Halliburton Company is one of the world's largest diversified energy services,
engineering, maintenance, construction and energy equipment companies. The
company's world wide web can be accessed at http://www.halliburton.com.
