Perot's "Sucking Sound" Speech

[willy_ph]

Anyone know where I can obtain a transcript of this speech? I want to use his argument in a paper, but need the entire article.

Thanks for those who can provide a link.

Here's the transcript of the 1992 Presidential Debate where he first used the phrase.

I just went to the link theo gave and it is surprisingly relevant to todays problems. If we could have elected two out of the three we would be in great shape now.

[ooops]

Thanks also.


PEROT: Well, everybody's nibbling around the edges. Let's go to the center of the bull's-eye, the core problem. And believe me, everybody on the factory floor all over this country knows it. You implement that NAFTA, the Mexican trade agreement, where they pay people a dollar an hour, have no health care, no retirement, no pollution controls, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and you're going to hear a giant sucking sound of jobs being pulled out of this country right at a time when we need the tax base to pay the debt and pay down the interest on the debt and get our house back in order.
