Apostrophe in SQL*Plus string

[Quoted] [Quoted] I'm trying to use an apostrophe as part of the search condition in a select statement - e.g.,

        In the description field of a record I have the following string:

                        Alan's sample description

        and I'm trying to do a query like

                SELECT name FROM mission WHERE description LIKE <desc_clause>

[Quoted] However, I'm can't seem to find the syntax for <desc_clause> which would allow me to search for "Alan's%", because there is an apostrophe in the string - i.e.,

        SELECT name FROM mission WHERE description LIKE 'Alan's%'

has too many apostrophes. Any ideas on how to do this?
