Two key Democratic lawmakers want Halliburton to turn over internal documents that reportedly identified significant deficiencies in the company's cost controls.

Company officials would not say Friday whether they would agree to hand over the report to the lawmakers. Halliburton turned down a Houston Chronicle request for the documents Friday.

A team of 80 company managers and auditors, known as the Tiger Team, concluded that the cost controls at Halliburton subsidiary KBR, formerly known as Kellogg Brown & Root, were antiquated and inadequate, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

In a letter to Halliburton Chief Executive Dave Lesar, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., asked the company to turn over a copy of the 18-page report by next Friday.

3. You hate to see Harl get in a snit, don't you?

(snip) KBR President Randy Harl, in a prepared statement, said the company's "contracts in Iraq and our performance in a war zone are undergoing an unprecedented level of scrutiny."

"The Tiger Team was formed to ensure that all our operations fulfill the KBR promise to delivery quality results for our clients," Harl said. "That's what we are doing, even with the unprecedented barrage of inquiries, accusations and political innuendos."

Apparently they are supposed to proceed at their own discretion, considering they are in a "war zone," while they lower themselves to acceept our hard-earned taxes.
