As soon as I know it's going to air, I'll post.

Subject: Radio Interview to Air

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Yesterday, Halliburton rammed through the KBR spinoff, to raise desperately-needed cash. Aiding and abetting this spinoff were:

1. BakerBotts LLP;
2. KPMG LLP;
3. The self-dealing underwriters;
4. The self-dealing analysts (who are likely going to find this IPO being cited on Capitol Hill as the poster child for the need for Sarbanes-Oxley II in the next Congress).

Earlier today, I gave a radio interview. As soon as I know the airtime, I'll let the journalists in the bcc: line of this e-mail know where to obtain the recording and/or transcript. Also, with the looming Thanksgiving holiday, just a reminder: I have a limited number of spots left for sit-down interviews before Wednesday.

The desperation of the Houston C-levels is transparent, and the Texas media outlets have been especially adept at staying ahead of this story. There is no Houston Mint - the Enronesque efforts of Halliburton to print money notwithstanding.

Cheers, and have a good weekend!

(not to be confused, ever again, with David R. Smith, the as-yet-unindicted VP of Tax at Dresser Industries, and now at Halliburton)
