I doubt that Baker Botts "admitted" that Halliburton Co. was guilty of
conspiracy to commit bribery.  (If it did, I presume that Halliburton
would be duly indicted and convicted, and probably lose its federal
contracts.)

However, a Baker Botts attorney was "concerned" that "people may at
the time have been planning or contemplating the necessity of money
for the purpose of making bribes":

Is this the statement you're seeking?  If so, I'd be happy to post it as an answer.

Thanks for the info, the Dallas News quotes James Doty, an attorney
with Baker and Botts, who as I remember it was representing the
independent directors as saying there's no way to read these materials
and not be concerned about - - - a plan to commit bribery.
