Standing Firm--HarperCollins, 1994. Speeches
Vice President Quayle delivered his formal announcement speech in an elaborate rally at Huntington North High School gymnasium in his hometown of Huntington. Many area residents were recruited to help prepare for the big day. On April 14th four- to five-thousand sign-waving, cheering supporters, including many students, filled the gym. Almost every line of Quayle's speech seemed to be punctuated with cheers and yells. Quayle emphasized values, taxes and foreign affairs. As the transcript shows, he did not stick too closely to his prepared remarks."The Duty to Lead: America's National Security Imperative" at the Heritage Foundation, Washington, DC--January 12, 1999. >
