KBR AWARDED CONTRACT FOR CONLOG: 03/02/04

LONDON - Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) has been awarded the contract for CONLOG by the UK Ministry of Defence to provide logistics and infrastructure support to Permanent Joint Forces Headquarters (PJHQ) operations and exercises worldwide. KBR is the engineering, construction and services subsidiary of Halliburton (NYSE:HAL).

The CONLOG contract (Contract for Logistics Support) for which KBR is the Prime Contractor, is an enabling arrangement of seven-years duration consisting of a core planning capability, and the enabling procedures and processes for PJHQ to secure a wide range of support services as and when required for military operations and exercises. As part of the contract, a small KBR team will be embedded into the PJHQ organisation to provide planning input for a wide range of operational services. This competitively tendered contract was won by KBR against strong international competition.

Tony Pryor, Chief Operating Officer for KBR’s Government Operations business in Europe and Africa said: 'KBR has unrivalled experience in the successful delivery of this type of project and understands the strategic importance of CONLOG. This award has highlighted the role of KBR as one of the top five defence contractors in the UK. It further reinforces KBR's leading position in supporting deployed operations worldwide, including work which we are currently doing for the British forces in Iraq.'

The contract over the seven-year period will have a core value of approximately £12m but based upon PJHQ activities over recent years the value of the non-exclusive enabled element could be in the region of £50m per year.

The contract will improve the efficiency and affordability of future deployed commercial support to PJHQ by through planning improvements, aggregation of tasks and the incorporation of policies and procedures into a single enabling contract. The CONLOG in-service date, when the contract will have full capability to deploy the service worldwide, is expected to be April 2004. KBR, as the Prime Contractor, has selected Serco, Inchcape Shipping Services and International SOS as team members.

KBR has been providing a similar service to the US military since 2001 under its Logistic Civil Augmentation Programme (LogCAP).

Founded in 1919, Halliburton is one of the world’s largest providers of products and services to the petroleum and energy industries. The company serves its customers with a broad range of products and services through its Energy Services Group and Engineering and Construction business segments.

ACTION 24 FEB

07.02.2004 14:51

Feb. 24: Stop the Corporate Invasion of Iraq!

On February 24, protest Halliburton, Bechtel, and the other corporations that are making millions in Iraq, and speak out for Iraqi workers’ rights and self-determination.

WHAT: International day of protest to end the corporate invasion of Iraq and support Iraqi workers’ rights
WHEN: Tuesday, February 24
WHERE: In your city, at the offices of Halliburton, Bechtel, or another war profiteering company

Following on the heels of the military invasion of Iraq, another invasion began: a corporate invasion by Halliburton, Bechtel, and other U.S. companies that were awarded millions in “reconstruction” contracts. Nine months into the occupation, Iraqi schools are still in disrepair, electricity is intermittent, and the water is not safe to drink.

Qualified Iraqi businesses say they are shut out of the reconstruction of their own country and some 70% of Iraqi workers are unemployed. But the contracts for U.S. companies -- especially ones with close ties to the Bush administration - keep getting fatter, even as Halliburton is suspected of overcharging the U.S. up to $61 million for fuel in Iraq, and the Pentagon has accused Bechtel with doing “horrible” work.

At the same time, the occupation administration has essentially put Iraq up for sale. In September, the Coalition Provisional Authority issued an “order” that allows for the privatization of Iraqi state companies, 100% ownership of Iraqi banks, mines and factories by foreign companies, and 100% expropriation of profits by foreign firms operating in Iraq. While the U.S. saw fit to approve these drastic changes to Iraqi economic laws, which very well may violate international law, it chose not to make any changes to Iraqi labor laws. In a period in which Iraqi workers are organizing throughout the country, the CPA left in place a Saddam Hussein-era law that forbids workers in state-owned enterprises (where the majority of Iraqis work) from forming unions. They have also repeatedly detained or harassed workers who are demonstrating for jobs or better pay.

TAKE ACTION - ORGANIZE A FEB. 24 PROTEST AT THE LOCAL OFFICE OF HALLIBURTON, BECHTEL, OR ANOTHER WAR PROFITEERING COMPANY

Please join the international day of action against the corporate invasion of Iraq by organizing a Feb. 24 rally at Halliburton, Bechtel, MCI or another war profiteering company that has offices in your city. (See below for a list of actions that are already in the works.) If these companies don’t have an office in your city, protest in front of the federal building or at another well-trafficked downtown location.

The protests don’t have to be big - even a few people holding up signs in front of a Halliburton local office would be great! Ideas for slogans include: Bring Halliburton and Bechtel Home, Stop the Corporate Invasion of Iraq, Support Iraqi Workers’ Rights, Iraq is not America’s to Sell, Iraq for the Iraqis, Privatization is not Liberation, No Blood for Corporate Profits, US Corporations get Freedom-Iraqi Workers Get Saddam’s laws, etc
