CRAWFORD, Texas, Apr 13, 2001 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Vice
President Richard Cheney and his wife, Lynne, paid the Internal Revenue Service
$14.2 million in taxes on their 2000 income of $36 million, according to a
summary of their return released Friday.
The law firm of Williams and Connolly reported that the Cheneys had an adjusted
gross income of $36 million, with about $9.6 million already withheld or
"otherwise paid." The couple paid the $4.6 million balance when they filed their
tax forms, White House officials said.
The Cheneys' income were derived from his $806,332 in salary and $4.3 million in
deferred compensation and bonuses from the Halliburton Co., where he served as
chief executive officer until his resignation in August.
Cheney in January received a $1.4 million cash bonus from the company, which
will be listed on his 2001 tax return, White House officials said.
The balance came from Halliburton stock options and the sale of restricted stock
that Cheney received as part of his compensation package put in place before his
nomination.
The couple donated $7.8 million in stock options to the Capital Partners for
Education, a group that provides educational assistance to low-income high
school students, the George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates and
the University of Wyoming. They made $41,646 in unspecified other donations."
