- <p> 1893 Hse; 12 Rms; Gd location; Nds repair. The Vice
- President's official residence shows its age, so new tenant
- Marilyn Quayle wants $578,000 to fix it up. That's double last
- year's amount and $200,000 more than the White House requested
- for the former Admiral's House. The additional money, if
- granted, will go to carve out bedrooms on the top floor for the
- three Quayle kids and an office for their mom; the remaining
- $378,000 is for maintenance. Congressional staffer Aubrey
- ("Tex") Gunnels, who endorses the increase, looked the place
- over and gloomily concluded, "The whole thing is about to fall
- down."
