In April 2002, a coup attempt sought to overthrow Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez. Dick Cheney's chief concern in South America is to get Venezuela to turn it's oil companies over to private interests , the same oil buddies who have supported Cheney. energybulletin.net Ladies and Gentlemen I would just like to conclude today by giving a vote of thanks to Dick Cheney for coming to speak to us today. I think it’s been a marvellously inspiring speech. I picked up a couple of things : what we do isn’t always appreciated by the public - I definitely feel that from time to time - and that we are the only large industry which has not been politically influential. Finally, as far as the Institute of Petroleum is concerned, I picked up on the remark that the industry must be ready to change and I would add to that its institutions too. So thank you very much and thanks once again to Dick Cheney. Applause.
