WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to appear at a campaign event for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay at a Houston hotel in mid-September.
A spokeswoman for Cheney said that security concerns precluded his office from releasing the vice president's schedule more than a few days in advance.

DeLay's office also would not comment.
However, the time and date of the event, 5-7 p.m. on Sept. 16, and location, the Westin Galleria Hotel, were posted on a Clear Lake GOP online bulletin board (groups.yahoo.com/group/ClearLakeGOP/message/34) and some invitations already have been sent out.

"It is just a fundraiser to show that Mr. DeLay has got the support of the administration," she said.
