And we thought such a thing didn’t exist: over at the tremendous Secrecy News , Steven Aftergood has just posted (pdf) a 2004 directory for the White House Office of the Vice President.

Stamped “For Official Use Only,” the four-page document lists 81 employees, including six who worked for Lynne Cheney. That’s well over the 30 or so names Cheney’s office is said to submit routinely to directory services.

The directory shows 23 staffers who worked exclusively on national security and homeland security issues. Meanwhile, three positions were dedicated on domestic policy issues; one of those was vacant at the time of the directory’s publishing.

It’s not clear how much overlap there is with the list we posted earlier of 41 staffers serving Cheney from the Senate’s payroll according to a 2006 report. But at least now we’re in the ballpark of the 88 staffers Laura Rozen estimated to be there.
