Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

     On March 30, 2007, Halliburton Company (“Halliburton”) distributed an updated blackout notice (the “Updated Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them of a change in the beginning and ending dates of a potential temporary suspension of trading (the “Blackout Period”) under one or more of the Halliburton Retirement and Savings Plan, the Halliburton Savings Plan, the Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc. Retirement and Savings Plan, and the Brown & Root, Inc. Employees’ Retirement and Savings Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) maintained by Halliburton or its majority owned subsidiary, KBR, Inc. (“KBR”), respectively. The Blackout Period may occur if the independent fiduciary for any of the Plans elects to tender shares of Halliburton Stock held by the respective Plan in response to Halliburton’s offer to exchange the 135,627,000 shares of KBR common stock it owns for shares of Halliburton common stock (the “Exchange Offer”) that commenced on March 2, 2007. Halliburton had previously distributed a notice of the Blackout Period (the “Original Notice”) to its directors and executive officers on February 26, 2007. As stated in the Original Notice, the Blackout Period, if any, was originally expected to begin on March 28, 2007, and end during the week of April 2, 2007. However, on March 29, 2007, Halliburton announced that the offer period for the Exchange Offer had been extended to April 2, 2007. As a result, the Blackout Period, if any, is now expected to begin on April 3, 2007 and end during the week of April 9, 2007. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein is a copy of the Updated Notice. Halliburton provided the Updated Notice to its directors and executive officers in accordance with Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of Regulation BTR.
