The high-profile meeting this week between the outgoing and incoming presidents is being followed tonight by a much lower-key get-together hosted by Vice President Dick Cheney for his successor, Democrat Joe Biden.
Cheney invited Biden to the vice president's residence on the sprawling Naval Observatory grounds in northwest Washington.
The meeting will be more of a social call between Cheney and Biden, though both have long histories in foreign policy and national security issues, giving them much to discuss beyond the role one is soon passing off to the other.
Cheney spokeswoman Megan Mitchell said Cheney and his wife, Lynne, have invited Biden and his wife, Jill, for a tour of the official residence and for dinner afterward.
