Halliburton.
BTW, on Marc Rich, see this on a Cheney associate.
American Politics Journal -- Feb. 5,2001
Lost among the hollering were two articles, one from the New Yorker
magazine, the other from the New York Daily News, mentioning that even
as Cheney's sock puppet was tsk-tsking in his pseudo-Texan drawl over
the whole affair, Cheney's own chief of staff was connected in a manner
that would prove embarrassing to the junta, should the press ever decide
to pick up the story:

Vice President Cheney's own chief of staff argued vehemently for
clemency on behalf of fugitive financier Marc Rich for many years,
according to The New Yorker magazine.
Lewis Libby, before joining the Bush White House to work for Cheney,
spent eight years as one of Rich's "most aggressive lawyers" and argued
his case before Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White as recently as
December 1999, according to the magazine.

Hey, the last Repug Defsec was Dick Cheney.
Besides the cheating coup, the other thing that pissed
me off the most in the election was how Cheney got
away in the VP debate with declaring that the millions
he was making as CEO of that defense contractor he
ran (forget which one right now) had "nothing to do with
the government." Gag.
No, Rumsfeld is not making too big of a sacrifice.
