         INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure

         On March 19, 2004 registrant  issued a press release  entitled "KBR and
Army Materiel Command Agree to Timetable to Resolve Billing Withholds."

         The text of the press release is as follows:

                KBR AND ARMY MATERIEL COMMAND AGREE TO TIMETABLE
                          TO RESOLVE BILLING WITHHOLDS

HOUSTON,  Texas - Despite the challenging  environment that exists,  to date KBR
had been  ahead of  schedule  in the  definitization  stage of its task  orders.
However,  just this week,  Army Materiel  Command (AMC) "in theater  units" have
been  mandated  to reduce  their  overall  budget,  thereby  requiring  that KBR
re-estimate all task orders on the LOGCAP III contract.

"This will slow down the previously agreed to definitization schedule because it
basically  starts the  estimating  process at ground  zero by  requiring  KBR to
produce new Rough Order of Magnitude  estimates  on a majority of task  orders,"
said Randy Harl, president and chief executive officer, KBR.

AMC has agreed to a 30-day extension to April 30, 2004 to the  implementation of
the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause that would impose the 15 percent
withholding action in our billings to the Government,  with an additional 30-day
option  if  needed.  This  means  that as late  as  June  1,  2004,  KBR and its
subcontractors  will not be subject to the 15 percent  withholding  on  billing.
Because  of the size and scope of the tasks in Iraq and the  process  is complex
and  constantly  changing,  AMC and KBR have agreed to work closely  together to
produce the final  results.  The parties  expect to work  through any  remaining
issues in a cooperative manner.

While we do not believe the 15 percent  withhold  should apply to the LOGCAP III
contract,  if after  the  extension  time  period  the  definitizations  are not
complete, KBR subcontractors may be subject to the 15 percent withholding.  This
is in accordance with contract agreements with subcontractors. However, KBR will
continue to receive  full  payment  for its direct  services  billed.  We remain
confident about working through these and other issues in a cooperative manner.

"At the end of the day,  we do not  believe  this  will  have a  significant  or
sustained  impact on  liquidity,"  added Cris  Gaut,  chief  financial  officer,
Halliburton. "KBR's working capital investment in Iraq now exceeds $1.2 billion.
There are very few companies in the world that could or would adapt this quickly
while, at the same time, finance an operation of this magnitude."

Halliburton  has a 60-year  history of working with the  government.  KBR helped
build U.S. warships in World War II, as well as projects in Somalia, Rwanda, and
the  Balkans.  Halliburton  also  helped  put out more than half of the oil well
fires in  Kuwait  during  the 1991 Gulf  War.  We are proud to serve the  troops
making them feel a little closer to home.
