Cheney met with the two leaders at a hotel in this Swiss resort city where he was the guest of honor Friday night at a reception hosted by Pam Willeford, the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland.

Admiring the setting, Cheney said he couldn't think of a more beautiful one except "perhaps my own valley in the Grand Tetons," referring to his home in Wyoming.
