And the First Katrina Construction Contract goes to.....

Haliburton. Was there ever any doubt?

Haliburton has been awarded the first big reconstruction contacts in the wake of the storm.

And of course, don't forget the Haliburton subsidiaries, wouldn't want to leave them out.

An Arlington-based Haliburton Co. subsidiary that has been criticized for its reconstruction work in Iraq has begun tapping a $500 million Navy contract to do emergency repairs at Gulf Coast naval and Marine facilities damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

The subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown & Root Services Inc., won the competitive bid contract last July to provide debris removal and other emergency work associated with natural disasters.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Subsidiaries of Haliburton and to the republic for which it stands one nation under contract, indivisible, with corruption and duress for all.
