Cheney Welcomes Biden To V.P. Residence

 Transition To A New Government

(CBS News) Vice President-elect Joe Biden got a tour of his new home from the outgoing occupant, Vice President Dick Cheney.

"The Vice President-elect and Dr. Jill Biden met with Vice President Cheney and his wife Lynne at the Naval Observatory this evening," said Biden spokesperson Elizabeth Alexander in a statement. "The Bidens thank the Cheneys for welcoming them into their home and for their gracious hospitality."

Biden arrived Thursday at the Naval Observatory, the home for vice presidents, with his wife. They were greeted with smiles by Cheney and his wife, Lynne.

Biden said, "Mr. Vice President, how are you doing?"

Cheney replied, "Joe, how are you." He congratulated Biden on his victory.

"It was a good visit," Cheney Press Secretary Megan Mitchell said in a statement. "The Cheneys enjoyed giving the Bidens a tour of the residence and wished them well as they make it their home in January."

The meeting lasted a little over 50 minutes. The Vice President and his successor are believed to have discussed the transition of power.
