From 911Encyclopedia:
In 1996, Dresser Industries and Shaw Industries merged their pipecoating businesses to form Bredaro-Shaw Group. H.C. Price, a major builder of pipelines, and one of Saudi Binladen's joint venture partners, became part of Bredaro-Shaw. Halliburton acquired Dresser in 1998. George H.W. Bush's father, Prescott, was the managing director of Brown Brothers Harriman, which previously owned Dresser. Dresser Industries gave George H.W. Bush his first job in 1948. Dick Cheney orchestrated the Dresser and Bredaro-Shaw acquisitions. Both Halliburton, and its subsidiary Brown & Root, have deep ties to the CIA and the military. The company has been involved in US military conflicts in Vietnam, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Chechnya, Pakistan, Colombia and Rwanda. Brown & Root builds oil rigs, pipelines, wells, and nuclear reactors. It does not appear to be a simple case of coincidence that Saudi Binladin, a long time business partner with the Bush family, has a partnership with a Dick Cheney-affiliated Halliburton that works with Enron (->).
