It is necessary to restate the President's viewpoint very clearly, and
that is that we are a party that is diversified. We are a party that,
though we have a position on abortion, that those who disagree with us
should not feel excluded because of that issue. We do, in former
Chairman Lee Atwater's words, offer the party as a big tent, and
therefore that message has to be clear. How we do that within the
platform, the preamble to the platform or whatnot, remains to be seen,
but the message will have to be articulated with great clarity.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle
