ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The former head of an oil field
services company admitted Friday that he had
employees work for several months on remodeling the
home of Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.

Ex-VECO Corp. CEO Bill Allen discussed the work while
testifying in the corruption trial of former state House
Speaker Pete Kott.

Under cross-examination by Kott's defense attorney
James Wendt, Allen acknowledged that the more than
$400,000 he admitted spending in the bribery charge
was for other legislators _ and for work done at
Stevens' home in Girdwood.

"I don't think there was a lot of materials," Allen said.
"There was some labor."

The workers were VECO employees, probably one to
four at a time, Allen said. He said the work might
have taken as much as six months.
