15 weeks 1 day 12 hours ago Bush, Cheney assets about same in 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) - The assets held by Vice President Dick Cheney
and his wife, Lynn, nearly triple those held by President Bush and
the first lady, Laura Bush, according to newly released financial
disclosure forms.

These reports, which were required to be filed by Thursday, show
that the value of both couple's assets remained about the same in
2007 as in the previous year.

The reports show that the assets of the president and his wife
totaled at least $7.2 million, including the 1,583-acre ranch in
Crawford, Texas, valued at $1 million to $5 million. The previous
year, the assets of the president and his wife, Laura, were worth
at least $7.5 million.

The assets of Cheney and his wife, Lynne, amounted to at least
$20.8 million last year, compared to $21.3 million in 2006.
Because the forms only require public officials to report their
income and assets in imprecise ranges, the actual numbers can vary
widely.
