Senate Committee to Review Bonuses Paid to KBR

The U.S. Senate Democratic Policy Committee (DPC) will hold an oversight hearing at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 20, to examine millions of dollars in bonuses paid to KBR, Houston, for electrical wiring work on U.S. Army bases in Iraq that has been linked to the electrocution deaths of at least two, and perhaps as many as five, U.S. soldiers and contractors in Iraq.

Witnesses will include a master electrician hired by the Army to review KBR's work in Iraq; a master electrician who worked for KBR in Iraq; and the former Army official who managed the contract under which KBR performed electrical work in Iraq.
