Statement on the
Selection of Senator Dan Quayle of
Vice
President Bush has made an outstanding selection of Senator Quayle as his
running mate. Dan was first elected to the Senate as part of the Reagan-Bush
team in 1980. He's a proven vote-getter. I've worked closely with Dan on a
number of issues. He has been a leader in the Senate for a strong national
defense, particularly the Strategic Defense Initiative, and proponent of
innovative job creation programs. His talent, intellect, family, and energy
will be valuable assets during the campaign, and I know he will be a great Vice
President. I salute Vice President Bush's selection. George has made an
excellent choice.
