INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT
Item 5. Other Events
The registrant may, at its option, report under this item any events, with
respect to which information is not otherwise called for by this form, that the
registrant deems of importance to security holders.
On January 4, 2002 registrant issued a press release entitled "Halliburton
Says No Basis For Rumors".
The following summarizes that press release:
Registrant announced that there is no basis to a rumor that it has filed
for bankruptcy or that such a filing is contemplated. Registrant also said that
a rumor that there had been a new large asbestos jury verdict against it that
had not been announced by registrant was also unfounded. Registrant will
promptly announce any materially adverse verdicts against it. While registrant's
policy is that it does not respond to rumors registrant has made an exception in
this situation because of the serious and spurious nature of these particular
rumors.
