Good morning. Today the subcommittee is holding its first hearing on the site selection process associated with the awarding of the International Olympic Games. The purpose of the hearing will be to review the conduct of the Atlanta Organizing Committee, the U.S. Olympic Committee, and the International Olympic Committee in connection with the bidding for the 1996 Olympic Summer Games. We also are going to hear about the re- forms that these organizations are proposing that hopefully will guarantee the end of this culture of corruption, a culture leading to a system that appears to suggest the host city is not judged on its merits, but rather on its gifts. This committee started reviewing Atlanta's bid after we learned about the outrageous vote buying that occurred in Salt Lake City. We are hoping that Salt Lake City's actions were an aberration, but sadly, as the Atlanta report so graphically confirmed, Salt Lake City was not an aberration. True, Atlanta's experience does not rise to the same level as Salt Lake City, but it is also true that there is a system or, as I have identified, a culture of corruption that ex- ists within the bidding for the Olympic Games that encourages the practice of excessive lobbying of IOC members. This activity, this culture must stop. It is tarnishing the pride and prestige of the Olympic Games, and it is not fair to the athletes or the cities all over the world who are bidding for the honor of hosting the games. We are going to hear from the cochairs of the Atlanta games. They have been very open and frank in their amended report to the committee, and I appreciate very much the effort that Judge Grif- (1) VerDate 11-MAY-2000 15:06 Jul 14, 2000 Jkt 062884 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 E:\HEARINGS\60363 pfrm07 PsN: 60363 2 fin Bell has made to present the facts regarding the Atlanta bid process to this committee.

  • Pan American Games History
    60 Years Ago In Swimming History Prepared by the International Swimming Hall of Fame for the UANA Congress at the XVI Pan American Games Origin of the First Pan American Games The 1st Pan American Games were held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 25 February-9 March 1951. The Pan American Games' origins were at the Games of the X Olympiad in Los Angeles, United States, where officials representing the National Olympic Committees of the Americas discussed the staging of an Olympic-style regional athletic competition for the athletes of the Americas. At the Pan American Sports Conference held in 1940, it was decided to hold the 1st Pan American Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1942 and a Pan American Sports Committee was formed to govern the Games. Avery Brundage, President of the USOC and Vice-President of the IOC, was elected as the first President. However, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought much of the Americas into World War II, thus forcing the cancellation of the 1942 games. A second conference was held in 1948 at the London Olympic Games. Avery Brundage was re-elected as the President of the PASC. It was decided that Buenos Aires would still host the 1st Pan American Games, this time in 1951. Argentine President Juan Peron and his co-leader, Madam Eva Peron (addressing the Opening Ceremonies, above) were the honorary Presidents and were given a special exhibition of synchronized swimming, while Mario Negri, FINA Bureau Vice President and UANA President presided over the aquatic events, which were held at the Institute of Technical Research, Ministry of Public Works.
