 HOUSTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Following is a list of the top
15 recipients of reconstruction funds for Iraq and Afghanistan

jumped more than 50 percent a year, from $11 billion in 2004 to
nearly $17 billion in 2005 and more than $25 billion in 2006.

 The list was created from data available from the General
Service Administration's Federal Procurement Data System and
