Certainly, I know what to do, and when I am Vice President -- and I
will be -- there will be contingency plans under different sets of
situations. And I tell you what, I'm not going to go out and hold a
news conference about it. I'm going to put it in a safe and keep it
there! Does that answer your question?
-- Senator Dan Quayle, when asked what he would do if he
assumed the Presidency, 10/10/88 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

I had not had that question before.
-- Senator Dan Quayle explaining why, during the Bentsen
debate, he couldn't say what he would do if he suddenly
became president, 10/6/88 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)
