Vice President Dick Cheney met Sunday with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah ahead of the Saudi's talks today at President Bush's ranch, where oil prices, terrorism and democratic reforms in the Middle East will top the agenda.

Cheney and Abdullah met at a Dallas hotel where Abdullah was spending part of his five-day stay in the United States. The White House refused to provide details about the meeting.

Cheney also met with the son of a former Lebanese prime minister, Rafik Hariri, who was assassinated on Feb. 14. Hariri's killing led to massive anti-Syrian protests.
