	Somebody took the pleasure to read this file (me) and FAX some of the
topics to Ross Perot a few days before the last debate. A week later Ross
said in Pittsburg something like:

	"A friend of ours from Japan commented that we think ten minutes 
ahead and the plan ten years ahead. We'ree going to have to plan 15 years
ahead and beat them to it."

	He then continued with something like: 

	"Do you agree that in order to be an economic superpower we have to
make things, instead of just play with money?"

    Mr Perot,

    I hope you were in receipt of my last FAX. I remembered another
point you ought to consider in your debates. In our history, there have
been numerous presidents who have not had any political office before
running for president, and many have won. At the top of my mind, I know
that Ulyssys S Grant (or however you spell his first name) was a general
in the civil war, and not a politician. George Washington was a general.
Eisenhower was a general. I highly suggest you find out which presidents
had no political experience before running, and bring this up in your
next debate when they say you are not experienced (this is an important
point; listen to people calling in CSPAN after the debates).
    I have a VERY large text file (200k) about Japanese businesses. It
talks about how Japan is poised to take over certain markets in the US,
such as hand tools, telecommunications, and semiconductors. It says that
any US company going into Japan must have a joint venture, such as Texas
Instruments currently does with some big Japanese company. Since they
now have critical technology produced only in Japan, they dump that stuff
here for below market prices in order to bankrupt US companies. they have
large reserves of cash because of some weird banking system, and they
charge VERY high prices in Japan. This guy took Japanese product ads to
the US to show Congressmen how expensive some japanese products were in
Japan. Japan engages in a very aggressive way economically; I would do the
same. But the key is that there is no way for us to compete with them, as
there market is closed. I would like to send you that file and others like
it, but it is too big and money is an issue on my part. Of course if I
knew that you were actually going to get it, I would gladly send it to you
via FAX or "SNAIL MAIL" (US Post). The head of SONY asked an American
business how they dealt with their future; they responded by saying they
plan ten minutes ahead (stock deals, cash flow, acquisitions). Japanese
companies plan ten years ahead, and even 100 years ahead or more. As he
said, there is no way the US can compete.

            Sincerely, David Tiberio 101% for Perot, -1% for Bush

         NOTE: I spent the extra money to send this in the day time,
               so please take advantage of it! If you want those text
               files about Japan, you will have to either call me at
               my voice phone or call my bbs and leave me email or
               feedback. PLAN AND PREPARE, AND YOU WILL ACHIEVE. FAIL TO
               PREPARE, AND YOU WILL ACHIEVE FAILURE.
