Cheney said Sunday on NBC that since becoming vice president, "I've severed all my ties with the company,Halliburton and I have gotten rid of all my financial interest. I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had, now, for over three years."


(CBS/AP) A report by the Congressional Research Service undermines Vice President Dick Cheney's denial of a continuing relationship with Halliburton Co., the energy company he once led, Sen. Frank Lautenberg said Thursday.

The report says a public official's unexercised stock options and deferred salary fall within the definition of "retained ties" to his former company.
