...arrived in 1995 and boosted the fortunes of a company beset by low oil prices and slow growth, raising revenues to $15 billion. Cheney's high-level contacts in Washington and around the world helped bring in business. Under Cheney, the company's Brown & Root construction subsidiary has worked hand in hand with the Democratic Administration--as it had done before him with the Bush White House--acting as a virtual arm of the Federal Government to provide food and housing for U.S. military forces abroad in trouble spots ranging from Somalia to Bosnia...
