>>ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL: Perot Speaks Out
>>
>>In a speech yesterday, Sept. 18, in San Francisco, Ross Perot
>>shared his thoughts on protecting the environment and saving
>>America's endangered species. Here is a direct transcription
>>>from Perot's enlightened speech:
>>
>>"But I will tell you this, I have looked at a few, I was up in
>>Washington state and the people were so worried about this huge
>>area they wouldn't let them do any timber cutting because of
>>these owls, and I finally asked a relevant question. I said 'how
>>many owls are there?' Said '20,' and I said 'OK, I suggest we
>>send Air Force One out here, transport 'em in absolutely
>>first-class comfort to the nearest national park. Now the owls
>>can live happily ever after in hundreds of thousands of acres in
>>some nearby park, as we can go back to work here.'
>>
>>Please spread it around, it might grow something
