One of the former employees, according to the letter, said "a Halliburton motto was: `Don't worry about price. It's cost-plus.'"
In the letter, the congressmen said the two men approached Waxman after leaving jobs with Halliburton for personal reasons last month. The letter said the employees told them Halliburton worked hard to avoid putting purchases out for competitive bidding and therefore overspent for many purchases as well as common items.
One of the employees, Henry Bunting, had been a buyer for the company in Kuwait for several months. The other, who was not identified, worked for the company for only a few months.
