Exhibit 99.6

                                Chapter 11 Primer


Chapter 11 is the portion of the United States  Bankruptcy  Code (or  bankruptcy
law) that contains the provisions for court-supervised  reorganization of debtor
companies.  Under the asbestos  settlement plan negotiated with plaintiffs,  DII
Industries  (formerly  Dresser  Industries  Inc) and Kellogg  Brown & Root would
become  "debtor  companies" in a Chapter 11 filing,  along with certain of their
other subsidiaries with U.S. operations.

Chapter 11 is an effective tool for a company with asbestos-related  liabilities
to cleanse itself of those  liabilities.  By implementing a company's  agreement
with asbestos  plaintiffs  (through their attorneys)  through a court-supervised
process,  a company can make the  agreement  effective not only for all existing
asbestos claims but also for any future claims that might be brought against it.
Under U.S. law,  Chapter 11 is the only means to deal  effectively with "future"
claims.

In a successful  implementation of an asbestos settlement under Chapter 11, most
aspects of the company's business do not have to change:

    -  The company and its subsidiaries do not go out of business.
    -  Nothing  necessarily changes  at any  business units, whether they are in
       Chapter 11 proceedings or not, from an operational standpoint.
    -  No facilities need to close and no jobs need to be eliminated as a result
       of a Chapter  11  filing.
    -  No pension or benefits programs will be reduced or eliminated.
    -  No  employees  have  their   salaries  cut,  or  promotion  opportunities
       restricted.
    -  No vendors are delayed in payment from normal terms.
    -  No creditors are delayed in payment from normal schedule.
    -  No business units outside the U.S. are affected in any way.
    -  The company  does not  have to  renegotiate contracts  as a result of the
       Chapter 11 filing.

Under U.S.  law,  there is no way to deal with "future"  asbestos  claims (those
that might be filed in the future) other than going through a Chapter 11 process
and having a U.S. Court oversee the process.


A "Prepackaged" Chapter 11 Filing

A "pre-packaged  Chapter 11" filing differs from a typical Chapter 11 case. In a
"normal" Chapter 11 filing,  a company works together with its creditors,  after
the filing, to develop a Plan of  Reorganization  that would be presented to the
Court sometime  following the filing.  In a  "prepackaged"  filing,  the company
("debtor") has already obtained agreement from all the affected  creditor groups
on the Plan. The Plan of Reorganization is then filed along with other petitions
given to the court when the case is first filed.



Pre-packaged  filings differ  significantly  from other Chapter 11 filings.  The
outcome is much more  certain,  because  all  affected  parties  have  agreed in
advance to the Plan of  Reorganization.  Also,  pre-packaged  Chapter 11 filings
typically move through the court system in a matter of a few months, rather than
a year or two - or even more - with a normal Chapter 11 filing.

Features of the 524(g) Trust

The settlement of all asbestos claims including  "future claims" is done through
a  special  mechanism  known  as a 524(g)  trust.  A 524 (g)  trust is  designed
specifically for resolving asbestos  liabilities.  In a 524 (g) proceeding,  the
bankruptcy court appoints a representative  for future claimants,  which assists
in effectuating a settlement that resolves and discharges future claims. Present
claims also addressed. Upon completion of the bankruptcy proceeding, a permanent
injunction is issued by a U.S.  federal  district  court in favor of the debtors
and  parties  affiliated  with the  debtors.  The  injunction,  when  final  and
non-appealable, cannot be revoked.

International Business Aspects

The Chapter 11 process in the U.S. is unlike  anything in the bankruptcy laws in
most countries.  In most parts of the world, bankruptcy (also sometimes known as
"Administration")  means  that the  business  is  failing,  and  that it  almost
certainly will be  liquidated.  That is not the case with Chapter 11 proceedings
in the U.S.  Chapter  11 is a tool to  enable  a  financial  restructuring  of a
company.  If a  company's  business is  generally  sound,  it  normally  emerges
successfully  from  Chapter  11. In the U.S.,  because  there has never been any
comprehensive  legislation passed that addresses the nation-wide asbestos issue,
Chapter  11 has  become  the only  means for  companies  to deal  with  asbestos
liability.
