Dick Cheney on KBR, Inc.

Richard Cheney's direct position on KBR, Inc. is not explicitly documented in public statements, largely because KBR's corporate history is intertwined with Halliburton, where he previously served as CEO until 1995. The connection stems from KBR being the former engineering and construction division of Halliburton, which Cheney led for nearly five years before entering government service again. While there are numerous reports concerning Halliburton's contracts during and after the Iraq War, and the legal challenges surrounding bribery allegations involving KBR, Cheney himself was not directly implicated in the latter charges.

Subsequently, he faced intense scrutiny regarding the no-bid contracts awarded to Halliburton for reconstruction work in Iraq and other areas while he was Vice President. Although Halliburton later settled bribery charges related to a Nigeria LNG project, the legal proceedings confirmed that charges against Cheney related to that matter were dropped. His primary public engagement regarding KBR's predecessor involves defending the contracting processes used by Halliburton during his tenure as a corporate executive and later as Vice President.
