Dear Cesar:
The countdown to U.S. Olympic Festival-186 began on June 21, with a
very successful Torch Lighting Ceremony at the summit of Pikes Peak in
Colorado Springs, CO. The ceremony featured USOC and Houston digni-
taries, and Olympic medal winners Aldhzo Babbers (1984 Athletics) and
Colleen O'Conner (1976 Figure Skating) to light and carry the Festival
Torch on the first leg of its 4,600 mile trip to the Astrodome in
Houston.
For those of you who attended the Bid City Seminar in Houston at the
beginning of June, let me thank you for your participation. It is one
of the most successful projects we have ever undertaken on behalf of
the Festival and I know that it will serve you very well in all stages
of bidding, and, should your bid be successful, in conducting a great
Festival.
Meanwhile, I would like to discuss attendance of Bid Cities at the
Festival in Houston. We believe that all serious Bid Cities will want
to send observers to Houston this summer to learn about the many
dimensions of the Festival and we are �' g a teams of two to
six people for at least five days which must, of course, include
Opening Ceremonies. Details pertaining to any official Bid City
delegations are enclosed - see Bid City Program. Further information
relating to this Houston program for Bid Cities will be sent only to
those cities requesting observer credentials as described in the
attached materials.
CONTRIBUTIONS ARE DEDUCTIBLE FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES

Festival and if you need further information regarding the Bid City
Program, Please do not hesitate to call-
