"The Cheneys and the Bidens will have a private meeting and then tour the residence," Cheney spokeswoman Megan Mitchell said on Wednesday. The meeting is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. EST (2215 GMT).

It will follow a gathering President George W. Bush and Laura Bush had with President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, at the White House on Monday when they toured the executive mansion and held discussions.
