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 October 23, 2000 registrant issued a press release entitled "Brown &
Root Services to Defend Civil Litigation," pertaining to, among other things,
an announcement that registrant's business unit, Brown & Root Services (BRS),
is a defendant in civil litigation pending in federal court in Sacramento,
California, alleging that BRS violated certain provisions of the False Claims
Act while performing work for the U.S. Army at Ft. Ord, California. The case,
referred to as the Qui Tam litigation, was filed in 1997 by a former employee.
Registrant does not believe that the litigation will have any material adverse
impact on it.
The U. S. Department of Justice has now advised BRS that BRS is the
target of a federal grand jury investigation regarding the contract issues
raised in the Qui Tam litigation. At present, the Department of Justice has not
made any specific allegations against BRS.
