         INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure

         On July 22, 2003  registrant  issued a press  release  entitled  "Court
Approves Request to Extend Stay."

         The text of the press release is as follows:

                      Court approves request TO EXTEND STAY

HOUSTON,   Texas  -   Halliburton   (NYSE:   HAL)  today   announced   that  the
Harbison-Walker  bankruptcy  court approved an agreement  among DII  Industries,
Harbison-Walker  Refractories  Company and the  Official  Committee  of Asbestos
Creditors that extends the court's temporary restraining order through September
30, 2003. The temporary  restraining order will expire if a pre-packaged Chapter
11 filing by Halliburton's subsidiaries DII Industries, Kellogg Brown & Root and
certain of their subsidiaries is not made on or prior to September 30, 2003. The
parties to the  agreement,  however,  retain the right to request the bankruptcy
court to extend the stay beyond  September  30, 2003.  Should the stay expire on
September 30, 2003,  the court  established  that discovery on the stayed claims
cannot  begin  until  November  1, 2003,  and trial  dates  cannot be set before
January 1, 2004. The court's temporary  restraining  order, which was originally
entered on February 14, 2002,  stays more than 200,000  pending  asbestos claims
against DII Industries.

In December  2002,  Halliburton  announced  that it had reached an  agreement in
principle  that,  if and when  consummated,  would  result  in a  settlement  of
asbestos and silica personal injury claims against DII Industries, Kellogg Brown
& Root and their current and former subsidiaries with U.S. operations.

Halliburton,  founded  in  1919,  is one of the  world's  largest  providers  of
products and services to the petroleum and energy industries. The company serves
its  customers  with a broad range of products and  services  through its Energy
