17/07 '01 TUB 12:44 [TX/RX NO 6275] 008 Inside the Office

Michael O. Leavitt is the 14th governor of the state of Utah. He was first elected in 1992, then re-elected in 1996 (with the largest vote total in state history), and in 2000 became only the second governor in Utah history to be re-elected to a third term.

Governor Leavitt has led the state through an era of extraordinary change and prosperity. During his tenure the state celebrated its centennial, became the world's host for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, and transitioned into a new century and millennium. Throughout this time, Utah has sustained the longest economic expansion in the state's history and has been named the "best managed state" in America.

The governor has outlined an agenda for his third term to continue Utah's prosperity. The state will remain prosperous by investing in people, creating quality jobs, building livable communities, creating online government, and caring for the needy and fostering self-reliance.

Innovative technology deployment has been a trademark of the Leavitt administration, which has brought computers to every school classroom, taken state government online and designed a "digital state" strategy that will deliver high speed Internet access statewide and guarantee Utah's place in the global economy.

His leadership extends beyond the state's borders. He is past chairman of the National Governors Association and Western Governors Association, and a leading national voice on issues such as welfare reform, federal/state relations, e-commerce and balanced environmental management.

The governor has received numerous awards and honors and has been called on regularly by the White House and congressional leaders to resolve federal issues that directly affect states.

Born February 11, 1951, in Cedar City, Utah, Leavitt graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics and business from Southern Utah University and married Jacalyn Smith. The governor and first lady are the parents of five children. FIRST LADY OFTHE STATE OF UTAH

Jacalyn Smith Leavitt became Utah's fourteenth First Lady on January 4, 1993. Improving the health and literacy rates of Utah's children and strengthening families have been the trademarks of her service.

She developed the "Read to Me" campaign, which recognizes the importance of parents reading to their children.

As spouses' chair of the National Governors' Association, she launched a national campaign to encourage smoking cessation among pregnant women.

She co-chairs GIFT, the Governor's Initiative on Families Today, which hosts regular conferences to strengthen Utah's marriages and families. She and the governor formed the Governor's Commission on Marriage—the first in the nation—to gather information on how society can create an environment for healthy marriages.

As the spokesperson for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), she raises awareness among parents about available health insurance coverage for uninsured children. Since the program started, more than 17,000 children have enrolled.

Mrs. Leavitt serves as chair of the statewide "Every Child By Two" Immunization Task Force. Today 82% of Utah two-year-olds are adequately immunized against infectious diseases, an increase of nearly 20 percentage points from three years ago.

Mrs. Leavitt was raised in Cache Valley, Utah, and graduated from Utah State University. She is the proud mother of five children. Mitt Romney Selected As New President/CEO Of Salt Lake Organizing Committee Page 1 of 2

iew The Story

As the head of Salt Lake City's Olympic Organizing Commitee, Mitt Romney has become one of the most recognized men in Utah.

<*:• KSL-TV: But few know much about his wife, Ann, and the private [Events struggle they've waged together. IProg ramming Olympics Specialist Shelley llnfo Osterloh has details. • |Community When Ann and Mitt Romney \dvertise moved to Salt Lake City nearly three years ago, they left behind IContact KSL-TV years in Boston.

He, a sucessful venture capitalist. She, active in the Channels: community and with many charities. Utah HealthNet But life wasn't as rosy as it looked. Ann Romney was sick, InfoPlease and getting worse.

Local Bargains Ann Romney campaigned beside Mitt when he nearly unseated BabyNamer I Senator Ted Kennedy.

And she was on the board of the United Way. But their last days in Boston were difficult.

Mitt Romney: "SHE HAD TO SPEND MOST OF THE TIME IN BED, HAD A HARD TIME WALKING AROUND, A LOT OF DIZZY SPELLS, SYMPTOMS OF A SEVERE FLU THAT JUST COULDN'T BE SHAKEN."

Ann Romney: "THEN I GOT REALLY, REALLY SICK http://www.ksl.com/dump/news/cc/series/trail.htm 01/02/2002 KSL-TV Special Reports Page 2 of 3

RIGHT BEFORE WE CAME OUT. AND I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, AND ON I.V. STEROIDS, AND PRETTY SICK."

Shelley Osterloh: "YOU MUST HAVE BEEN FURIOUS WITH MITT FOR DRAGGING YOU OUT HERE WHEN YOU WERE SO SICK."

Ann Romney: "IT WAS MY IDEA. I CANT BLAME HIM."

"HE LOOKED AT ME- 'YOU ARE SO SICK.1 AND I'M LIKE, TLL BE OKAY, I CAN BE AS SICK IN BOSTON, AS CAN BE SICK IN SALT LAKE, I DON'T CARE.1"

Few outside their close family and friends knew, but Ann Romney suffers from Multiple Sclerosis.

With her sons grown, and husband in a demanding new job, Ann pursued a childhood dream: She bought a horse and despite her failing health, started riding lessons.

Ann Romney: "AND THE THOUGHT OF GETTING ON A HORSE WAS SO EXCITING. I WOULD FORCE MYSELF OUT OF BED AND I'D COME OUT HERE. I COULD TROT MAYBE ONCE AROUND THE ARENA AND THEN I'D BE FINISHED AND EXHAUSTED. BUT I'D FEEL GREAT."

Margo Gogan/Dressage Trainer: "IT COULD BE A BLIZZARD, AND ANN WILL BE HERE WITHOUT FAIL. SHE SAYS SHE'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING AND SHE WILL DO IT."

And gradually, through sheer determination, she began to feel better and stronger.

She bought another horse - a Dutch Warm Blood from Germany named Gucci.

Her friend and trainer, Margo Gogan, rode Gucci in a recent regional dressage competition and won the championship with Olympic level scores.

Ann entered in the amateur division riding Baron and took second — a remarkable feat for someone who has ridden dressage for less than three years.

In dressage, these highly athletic horses perform a series of intricate and difficult maneuvers... they skip or change the lead foot every third step, or trot with a hoof paused in the air.

The rider communicates with only subtle movements.

http://www.ksl.com/dump/news/cc/series/trail.htm 01/02/2002 KSL-TV Special Reports Page 3 of 3

Ann Romney: "IT'S HARD. I MEAN SOME DAYS I AM JUST EXHAUSTED. BUT IF I DON'T KEEP PUSHING, THEN I END UP BACK IN BED AND LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS PRETTY GOOD, PRETTY GOOD THERAPY, AND HE'S BEEN A WONDERFUL COMPANION."

Ann and Mitt joke about her obsession with horses.

Ann Romney: "HE WANTS TO CHECK ME INTO THE BETTY FORD CLINIC. BUT IT'S FOR HORSE ADDICTION. BUT THERE'S NO CURE, NO CURE."

And there is no cure for MS either, but for Ann Romney, there is hope.

She has overcome the more debilitating affects of her disease. Her doctors, and her family, say her progress is remarkable.

She says the healthy atmosphere of her new home, and her new hobby, have helped.

ANN ROMNEY: "IT'S JUST A GIFT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE HORSES OF THIS QUALITY AND HAVE THEM HELP ME IN MY HEALING PROCESS."

Mitt Romney: "ANN IS MY SOURCE OF STRENGTH."

Ann Romney: "IT'S BEEN, IN MANY WAYS, A BLESSING FOR US TO BE HERE, BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IF I'D STAYED IN BOSTON THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN AS HEALTHY AS I AM."

Ann looks great. Her MS seems to be in remission.

Ann and Mitt also own two trail horses and on weekends they ride together on the trails around Park City.

OPENING REMARKS TO THE OLYMPIC AID FORUM Salt Lake City, 9 February 2002

Thank you, Mr. Rogge, for those kind words.

Mr. Koss, Distinguished Members of the International Olympic Committee and of Olympic Aid, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Nane and I are thrilled to be here. What could be better than attending one's first Olympics? I guess it must be attending one's first Olympics and winning one's first Olympic medal. But for those of us who are not in that league, the next best thing is having the privilege of meeting sports stars who are putting their talent in the service of children in need.

Personally, I can neither figure-skate, nor ski moguls, nor drive a luge, so in that sense my credentials in this gathering are rather modest. But I am someone who benefited in my youth -- and still does benefit -- from the wonderfully formative experience of sport; and who believes in every child's right to that experience -- the right to play. That is why I am so happy to be with all of you today.

Olympic Aid is an initiative in the true spirit of the Olympic Movement: it is athlete-driven; it is voluntary; and it is clear in its goals — in this case, to increase the use of sport as a tool for development, health and peace. It is also in the true spirit of the United Nations: if there is one guiding motto that our Organization must work under in the 21st century, it is to put people at the centre of everything we do.

Over the past few years, there has been a growing understanding of the role sports can play in changing peoples lives for the better - and those of young people in particular. We have seen examples of how sport can build self-esteem, leadership skills, community spirit, and bridges across ethnic or communal divides. We have seen how it can channel energies away from aggression or self-destruction, and into learning and self- motivation.

The International Olympic Committee has done some pioneering work in this field. Working together with the United Nations and several of its specialized agencies — such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization — the IOC has demonstrated that sport can play a role in improving the lives of not only individuals, but whole communities. I am convinced that the time is right to build on that understanding: to encourage Governments, development agencies and communities to think how sport can be included more systematically in plans to help children — particularly those who live in the midst of poverty, disease or conflict.

That is why, last year. I appointed Adolf Ogi ~ the former president of Switzerland and a fine sportsman in his own right -- as my Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace.

And that is why the work of Olympic Aid is so important. It is led by some of those who have made it to that most exclusive athletic club -- the Olympians. These champions have chosen to use their position to help children who have never seen a ski slope or a basketball court. Some of them have never even seen a basketball.

The topics you will explore today remind us that the right to play belongs to everyone. And that by the same token, development, health and peace are not "spectator sports". They require commitment and engagement by individuals, communities as well as Governments.

I join Olympic Aid in encouraging you and others to examine the role of sport in social mobilization for immunization and against disease; in combating drug abuse and tobacco use; in preventing HIV/AIDS and removing the stigma surrounding those living with the virus.

I hope your will urge policy-makers to consider the relatively simple and inexpensive tonic of sport as a means to alleviate the trauma and suffering of refugees, and others suffering from armed conflict; how it can contribute to peace-building, reconciliation and healing in post-conflict societies.

And I hope you will look at new ways to integrate sport in efforts to promote a sense of community; to encourage respect for the environment; to support formal and informal education and help individuals find their place in society -- especially young women and girls. On that point, it is heartening indeed to know that so many of your volunteers in the field are young women.

The objectives you are working towards reflect the major preoccupations of people everywhere.

They made up the agenda of the Millennium Summit — the biggest gathering of world leaders the world has seen, held at the United Nations in September 200.

They formed the basis of the Millennium Declaration adopted on that occasion — a landmark document for the 21st century which gives us a blueprint for action to achieve freedom from fear, freedom from want, and protection of our resources. They are included in the Convention on the Rights of the Child -- the most widely and rapidly ratified human rights treaty in history, which specifically spells out the right of every child to play.

And they are topics that will be addressed when the United Nations General Assembly holds a Special Session on Children in May. The Session will agree on a plan of action that must spur the international community to take the steps needed to realize the rights of every child. It will bring together leaders from Government and non- governmental organizations, as well as children and adolescents, in a model of wide participation and partnership. I do hope your voices will be heard there.

In short, my friends, the Olympic movement and the United Nations share the same fundamental goals: to ensure that every child should have the best possible start in life; that every child should receive a good-quality basic education; and that every child should have the opportunities to develop his or her full potential and contribute to his or her society in meaningful ways.

I know Olympic Aid is already doing some wonderful work on the ground to help meet those goals. I was struck by a comment from Bet, a young woman working as one of Olympic Aid's volunteer coaches in Angola — a country whose children have seen more war, displacement, poverty and disease than any of us will in a lifetime.

Bet coached young people in camps for refugees and internally displaced persons. Already after the first day of play in the Viana refugee camp, Bet wrote in her field notes [and I quote]: "I noticed a new air of confidence about them today as they walked around the camp. They are beginning to feel special — and like they are a part of something special." [end quote]

I would suggest that once you have achieved that, you have already won half the battle.

The challenge before us now is to make every child feel part of something special. To encourage policy planners to think creatively about how they can use sport as a tool in their policies. To build partnerships among Governments, civil society and the private sector to ensure the widest and most effective use possible of that tool.

For your part in that endeavour, I extend my sincere gratitude. And I am grateful that you have given this Olympic rookie such a moving and memorable experience to take back from his first Games. Thank you very much - and let the children play. Olympic Aid Roundtable 'Healthier, Safer, Stronger: Using spot for development to build a brighter future for children worldwide" Saturday 9 February

Olympic Aid Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons)

The Church of Latter Day Saints has some 10 million followers around the world, half of whom are outside the United States, in every geographical region. The Church is known for its energetic—some would say aggressive—proselytizing. The Church is expanding rapidly in developing countries.

The Church is involved in humanitarian relief work. Latter Day Saint Charities is a member is good standing at InterAction, the consortium of humanitarian NGOs which participates in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee chaired by OCHA. The Church's humanitarian arm provides relief supplies and cash both directly and through other NGOs.

A number of prominent businessmen are members of the Church. Among them are David Neeleman, CEO of JetBlue Airways, Nolan D. Archibald, CEO of Black and Decker Corp., and Kevin Rollins, Vice Chairman of Dell Computer. Senator Orrin Hatch, Utah's senior United States Senator, is the most prominent Mormon politician. Utah's full Congressional delegation (a total of five in the House and Senate) is all- Mormon.

Missionary service, often outside the U.S., is a obligatory for Mormons. As a result, many Mormons are fluent in languages other than English, and particularly in local languages spoken in the developing world. Since 11 September the U. S. Army's Military Intelligence Brigade, an elite group of linguists (many of whom are Mormon) based near Salt Lake City, has been sifting through thousands of hours of interceptions received by various U. S. security agencies.
