Cheney wanted $3/gallon gas and said so in a speech.

This was reported back in 2000. Cheney, when he was head of Haliburton, gave a speech at an OPEC conference, in which he said that the price of gas was too low and that he wanted to see $3/gallon gasoline in the US.

I remember this clearly. But I can't find documentation. Googling has gotten difficult because the words now bring up thousands of more recent hits that have nothing to do with the old stories.

Does anyone else remember this, does anyone else have a source? This should be emailed to every newsperson, to every member of congress. Gas costs $3 a gallon now because thats exactly what the president of the US, Dick Cheney, wants it to cost, the man who got millions from Haliburton this year wants $3 a gallon gas because its good for Haliburton, which is, first and foremost, an oil drilling company.
