WAR IN BRIEF : CALIFORNIA : Quayle Addresses Missile Workers

Vice President Dan Quayle spoke to about 3,000 General Dynamics employees in San Diego and thanked them for “not only supporting our troops but giving them the very best equipment in the world.” Quayle told workers at the Convair plant in Kearny Mesa: “When Operation Desert Storm began, it was your Tomahawk missile that led the charge.” General Dynamics manufactures Tomahawk cruise missiles fired by Navy ships at Iraq. Quayle also toured the Miramar Naval Air Station before flying to Phoenix.
