Quayle was very enthusiastic about signing author Tom Clancy to the National
Space Council as an unpaid consultant (see his quote re: Red Storm Rising).
Clancy, however, was not Quayle's first choice; that honor went to famed
aviator Clutch Cargo. A plan to approach him and offer him the position was
scuttled when it was discovered that Mr. Cargo is a fictional character.
