U.S. Sues Kellogg, Brown and Root
for Alleged False Claims Act Violations
Over Improper Costs for Private Security in Iraq


The United States has filed a lawsuit
against Kellogg Brown & Root Services (KBR)
alleging that the defense contractor
violated the False Claims Act, the Justice
Department announced today. The suit, filed
in U.S. District Court in Washington, alleges
that KBR knowingly included impermissible
costs for private armed security in billings
to the Army under the Logistics Civil
Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) III contract.


The LOGCAP III contract provides for civilian
contractor logistical support, such as food
services, transportation, laundry and mail,
for military operations in Iraq.
