         INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure

         On  February  18,  2003  registrant  issued  a press  release  entitled
"Halliburton Stay Continued Until March 21, 2003."

         The text of the press release is as follows:

                 HALLIBURTON STAY CONTINUED UNTIL MARCH 21, 2003

Houston,  Texas - Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) today announced following a hearing in
the Harbison-Walker bankruptcy case that the court's temporary restraining order
has been continued until March 21, 2003. This  restraining  order was originally
entered on February 14, 2002,  staying more than 200,000 pending asbestos claims
against Halliburton's subsidiary DII Industries, LLC (DII).

         The  court  also  ruled  Halliburton  must  file an  affidavit  stating
settlement  agreements have been signed by attorneys  representing  75% of DII's
current  asbestos  claimants by March 14, 2003. If this deadline is not met, the
court will hear oral  arguments  presented  by both sides on March 21, 2003 on a
motion to lift the stay. While there can be no assurance that formal  agreements
will be reached or that the stay would be continued  following  oral  arguments,
Halliburton already has preliminary  agreements with attorneys representing more
than 90% of claimants and believes that settlement  agreements with the required
75% of claimants can be completed prior to March 14, 2003.

         On December  18,  2002,  Halliburton  announced  that it had reached an
agreement in principle to achieve a global  settlement  of its asbestos  claims.
The agreement  contemplated  that Halliburton would conduct due diligence on the
asbestos claims, and that DII and attorneys for the asbestos claimants would use
reasonable efforts to execute definitive  settlement  agreements.  While all the
required  settlement  agreements  have not yet been  executed,  Halliburton  and
attorneys for certain of the asbestos  claimants  have now reached  agreement on
what they  believe  will be a template  for such  settlement  agreements.  These
agreements  are  subject to a number of  conditions,  including  agreement  on a
Chapter  11  plan  of  reorganization  for  certain  Halliburton   subsidiaries,
including  DII;  approval by 75% of current  asbestos  claimants  to the plan of
reorganization; the negotiation of financing acceptable to Halliburton; approval
by  Halliburton's   board  of  directors;   and  confirmation  of  the  plan  of



reorganization  by a bankruptcy  court. The template  settlement  agreement also
grants the claimants'  attorneys a right to terminate the definitive  settlement
agreement on ten days' notice if  Halliburton's  DII subsidiary  does not file a
plan of reorganization under the bankruptcy code on or before April 1, 2003.

         Halliburton is conducting due diligence on the asbestos  claims,  which
is not expected to be completed by April 1, 2003.  Therefore,  Halliburton  does
not expect its  subsidiary  to file a plan of  reorganization  prior to April 1.
Although there can be no assurances, Halliburton does not believe the claimants'
attorneys will  terminate the settlement  agreements on April 1, 2003 as long as
adequate progress is being made toward a Chapter 11 filing.
