Transcription
TRANSCRIPTION: Mr. Reagan's under Secretary of Defense. Once said this about a nuclear attack. Everybody is going to make it. If there are enough shovels to go around dig a hole covered with a couple of doors and throw three feet of dirt. On top. Mr. Reagan himself as opposed every nuclear arms agreement since the bomb went off. No wonder he's never achieved one. It's time to think about how deep a hole. We're digging for ourselves. Mondale. He's fighting for your future.
