"Secret Service help set for former VPs
President Bush yesterday signed legislation giving Vice President Dick Cheney and future vice presidents six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office. Since Hubert Humphrey left office in 1969 it has been common practice for the White House or Congress to extend temporary protection, usually for half a year, to former vice presidents. The measure Bush signed makes it permanent law (AP)."
