"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two senior congressional Democrats called for an investigation into whether the oil services company Vice President Dick Cheney once headed has received special treatment in getting defense contracts.
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California, and Rep. John Dingell, D-Michigan, Tuesday asked the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, to look into contracts received over the last two years by the Texas-based Halliburton Corp. and its subsidiaries, which the congressmen said totaled at least $600 million.
"The ties between the vice president and Halliburton have raised concerns about whether the company has received favorable treatment from the administration," Waxman and Dingell wrote in a letter to the GAO"
