Please answer this letter from Halliburton
This is a letter to the editor that appeared in the OdessaAmerican Newspaper, from Odessa, Texas this morning.

I'm wondering if this is a standard letter from Halliburton?

As it appeared in the OdessaAmerican newspaper this morning.

A good side of Halliburton



As a 25 year employee with Halliburton here in the Permian Basin, I get angry every time something negative hits the paper or the television concerning Halliburton.
Dick Cheney has not been a member of our organization for many years and in his current position has no say in the current procurement process for work awarded to the company by the Defense Department.

I would like to share some of the good things Halliburton is doing in Iraq each day:

Transports 500 million gallons of water.

Delivers 92,000 pieces of mail.

Does laundry for more than 100,000 of our troops.

Feeds 95,000 of our troops in 57 different facilities.

Since May of this year cleaned up more than 45,000 barrels of oil.

Works to restore infrastructure that has resulted in the export of more than 36 million barrels of oil.

We need to remember that Halliburton employees are placing their lives on the line to privide these services.

I fell the criticism that comes our way is unfounded and politically motivated.

Closer to home, Halliburton employs over 600 people here in the Permian Basin. They are honest, hard-working and care about their communities. They are far removed from the political process in Washington, D.C. but I will bet you they are heavily involved in the communities in which they live.

So pundits and midia mouthpieces need to take time to get the fact before reporting and stop trying to ruin the reputation of a fine organization in relentless efforts to politcize our country's effort to help the people of Iraq.

Letters can be mailed to the: Editor, Odessa American, P.O. Box 2952, Odessa Texas 79760-2952.

Fax: 432 333-7742

I hope a few of you will answer Mr. Ken Cronenworth as I have. It will blow his mind to receive response from outside of George Bush's home town and state.
Or a letter to the editor would be great.

1. He did good!
He covered all the points his boss told him to cover, and in the same order, I believe. Do a search here about H and the CEO's note urging employees to write letters.

A letter to the Odessa paper congratulating Mr.Cronenworth on getting all the points listed correctly in the approved order would be fun, dontcha think?

Hopefully, Ken Cronenworth will get an extra-large Thanksgiving turkey from Halliburton this year...

Halliburton asks employees to help defend company

In a memo dated October 17, company President Dave Lesar lambasted what he called "unfounded" criticism against the company and asked its 100,000 employees to get out Halliburton's message "in a thoughtful, non-confrontational manner.

"We should avoid stooping to our critics' level of dialogue, no matter how tempting that may be," wrote Lesar, who is also chairman and chief executive officer.
