The current CEO is David Lesar, he has been the CEO since 2000 following the departure of former CEO, Dick Cheney.

News of wars in countries where oil is prevelent (Iraq) is great news for this company, for they are makers of petrolum and gas related products. Both for pumping and drilling and everything in between. As we've seen in Iraq, Halliburton was awarded a huge contract to stabalize Iraq's oil fields. No big deal about Cheney's very direct connection.

Financially Halliburton earned 3.3 billion more dollars in 2005 than they did in 2003. They also spent 2 billion more, for a profit of 1.3 billion more in 05 than 03.

Company #2: Pepsi Bottling Group

The Public Relations is Amy Polacko. Her telephone is 914-767-6960.

Pepsi Bottling Group's Executive Chairman of the Board is John T. Cahill. He was elected to the position in 2006 after serving as CEO which he was elected to in 2001.

PBG Corporate Headquarters
One Pepsi Way
Somers, NY 10589
Phone: 914-767-6000

In the past two months, former president Bill Clinton has pushed for laws banning soda and junk food from being sold in school yards to help combat rising childhood obesity rates. PepsiCola sells and delivers near 200 million eight-ounce Pepsi-Cola beverages per day. When Clinton's law begins in 2008, this will be a big hit to Pepsi, who will have to find a new market to substitute for the school yard.

The Pepsi Bottling Group generates about 11 billion dollars per year. So far, in the 2006 Fiscal Year, Pepsi Bottling Group has generated 11,885,000,000 dollars.

Company #3: Boeing

The Public Policy senior vice president is Tod R. Hullin. His telephone contact number is 312-544-2002

The chairman of the board, president and CEO of Boeing is W. James McNerney, Jr. He has held the CEO position since July 1, 2005.

Boeings headquarters is located at:
100 N. Riverside Plaza
Chicago, IL 60606-1596
Phone: 312-544-2000

The type of news that would affect Boeing, would be rising gas prices, because with more expensive fuel companies, such as airlines, are less likely to expand their fleet. Also, with the push for more consertavtive energy options, Boeing may have to start rethinking their fuel types and modifying their planes to use it.

Boeings Third-Quarter net earnings was 694 million dollars, which is an increase of 0.89 cents per share.
