Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Government Reform Committee and the Senate Democratic Policy Committee produced this report examining extensive billings by Halliburton in Iraq, with former employees citing $45 for cases of soda and $100 for cleaning 15-pound bags of laundry. Government auditors identified over $1 billion in "questioned" costs, challenging them as "unreasonable in amount." An additional $442 million in Halliburton's charges is labeled "unsupported." The report details instances of inflated cost estimates, excessive charges, and preferential treatment by Defense Department officials, highlighting the need for effective action to protect taxpayers' interests.
