The excursion was sponsored by Dan Cook, an investment banker who runs the Dallas office of Goldman Sachs. He had invited Cheney on a hunting trip in 2003 at Rolling Rock.

Also in the hunting party were former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum; Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association; and Tom Hicks, CEO of Dallas-based Hicks Holdings, one of the groups that in December purchased Latrobe Steel Co. Hicks' group owns baseball's Texas Rangers and the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League.

The group included Sam Fox, former state finance chairman of the Bush-Cheney campaign; Stephen Friedman, chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board; Fred Eckert, a lobbyist and former U.S. representative from New York; L. Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center and a Tribune-Review columnist(Dicky Mellon Scaife's Rag); and Dick Scarlett, CEO of United Bancorporation of Wyoming.

Secrecy was the watchword.

Dwayne Pickels, a spokesman for the airport authority, said he could not discuss the visit. Ligonier Township police Lt. Michael Matrunics said police and local officials were instructed by the Secret Service not to discuss the visit.
