Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to be in western Pennsylvania today for a hunting trip.

Mr. Cheney was to fly into Arnold Palmer Regional Airport after his morning briefing in Washington, according to his spokeswoman, Lee Ann McBride.

Mr. Cheney will hunt at the private Rolling Rock Club in Ligonier Township, about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh, where he has hunted several times in recent years for pheasants and ducks.

Mr. Cheney will not make any public appearances.

Last year, Mr. Cheney wounded attorney Harry Whittington with shotgun pellets during a quail hunting trip in Texas. Mr. Whittington recovered.
