WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Army Corps of Engineers' top contracting official has demanded an investigation into contracts given to Halliburton, citing improper action that favored Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites)'s old company.

According to documents made available to Reuters on Monday by congressional sources, Army Corps whistle-blower Bunny Greenhouse complained of repeated interference in billions of dollars of contracts given to Halliburton unit Kellogg Brown and Root for work in Iraq (news - web sites) and the Balkans.

"This interference was largely focused on multibillion-dollar contract issues pertaining to a Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root," said a letter faxed on Thursday to Acting Army Secretary Les Brownlee by lawyers for Greenhouse.

"As set forth below, employees of the U.S. government have taken improper action that favored KBR's interests," the letter said.
