Putting
finishing touches on the Campaign America booth in the exhibit hall.

Campaign
America had students from Washington-area universities distributing
"Families
for Quayle 2000: Right for America" buttons to people arriving for
Quayle's
speech; another group of young people clustered in the front of the
hall
waved hand-painted signs.
Quayle described
abortion
as a "whirlwind [that] has swept away the lives of 30
million."
He recounted meeting a young man in Florida who told him, "I was
adopted.
I could have been a statistic."
Quayle noted that
the next
president will likely make several nominations to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
"We need more justices like Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas," Quayle
said, adding that he might even think about bringing back Robert
Bork.
"Run, Dan, run!" responded the crowd.
At the conclusion of
his
speech, rather than simply heading backstage, Quayle, preceded by a
backward
moving phalanx of cameras, walked out through the audience greeting
people.
