Cheney, Scalia visit south La. for duck hunt

The Associated Press
1/8/2004, 1:54 p.m. CT

MORGAN CITY, La. (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney and Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia spent part of this week on a private duck
hunting trip with friends in the marshes south Louisiana.

Both shot their bag limits on
Tuesday — three mallards
and three teal, Sheriff David
Naquin said.

The pair and their entourage
arrived in Morgan City on
Monday on a pair of
Gulfstream V jets.

Ken Perry, an official at Harry
P. Williams Memorial Airport,
said, "It just sent chills up my
spine" when he heard on the
radio that Air Force 2 was on
approach. Any airplane
carrying the vice president is generally dubbed Air Force 2.

Cheney and Scalia were guests of Wallace Carline, owner of Diamond
Services in Amelia, St. Mary Parish Sheriff David Naquin said. They left
Wednesday.

Naquin said Scalia has made several hunting trips to the parish.

The Sheriff said some of his deputies worked with Secret Service and
White House staff on security matters before and during the trip.

"It was quite exciting to be a part of that," the sheriff said. "And it was a
learning experience for all of us."

Naquin said he was asked not to release precisely how many people
accompanied the vice president and high court justice.

He said only that "blocks of motel rooms" across the parish were booked
well in advance of this week.
