"I've had no indication from home, nor have we picked up any here that they
felt that the U.S. economy was going to move towards a recession."
           -- George Bush, 16-JUN-89

"I have great conviction the American economy is
strong. We're in a cyclical downturn. It'll return to a good strong
level sometime in 1991.... We'll be back on the growth path, jobs,
investment, during that year."
	         -- Nicholas Brady, Secretary of the Treasury, 16-DEC-90 

"The downturn in the U.S. economy in the latter part
of 1990 does not signal any decline in its long-run underlying health
or basic vitality.... Several factors suggest that the economic
downturn is not likely to last long and that a recovery will begin by
the middle of 1991."
				 -- The Council of Economic Advisors, 4-FEB-91

"If I can borrow a term from Wall Street, I am bullish
on the economy.... While some sectors are still sluggish, on the
whole, a turnaround in the economy appears to be in the making....
Things are beginning to move forward. And as far as your industry is
concerned, I'm optimistic that it, too, will pick up as the rest of
the economy gathers steam."
					 -- George Bush, 11-JUN-91

"I think the evidence is increasing week by week that
the bottom is passed and the economy is beginning to move up.... I
think it's a pretty safe bet at this stage to conclude that the
decline is behind us and the outlook is continuing to improve."
	         -- Alan Greenspan, Chairman Federal Reserve Board, 10-JUL-91

"I think the economy is recovering. I think it will
be more robust as we go along here. Job creation is fast."
					 -- George Bush, 4-OCT-91

"The economy is moving in the right direction."
           -- George Bush, 4-OCT-91

"I don't want to buy into the predicate about another recession.
I don't feel that way."
           -- George Bush, 25-OCT-91

"The economy's turned the corner, headed for recovery."
           -- George Bush, 31-OCT-91

"I'm not prepared to say we are in a recession."
           -- George Bush, 8-NOV-91

"It will not be a deep recession."
           -- George Bush, 4-JAN-92

"I've known that the economy is in free fall.  I hope I've known it.  Maybe I
haven't conveyed it as well as I should."
           -- George Bush, 15-JAN-92

"This president is going to lead us out of the recovery.  It will happen."
           -- Dan Quayle, 17-JAN-92


In view of the performance of the economy since Danny made this
comment, I think we'll have to admit he was right on this one.  With his
clear understanding of the situation, he may have shown the most economic
sense of anyone in the Bush administration.

It's not often we can compliment JDQ on the quality of his
perceptions.  Could we have a new chairman of the Council of Economic
Advisers budding from the well-fertilized soil of JDQ's cranium?
