WELCH DENIES ASSAULT CHARGE AND AIMS TO REMAIN WITH SLOC

          SLOC President Tom Welch met the press on Friday where
     he said he did not assault his wife during a July 9 dispute,
     according to Mike Gorrell of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE.  Welch
     also maintained that "he still can contribute a special
     vision to the 2002 Winter Olympics."  Welch will meet with
     the Executive Committee of the SLOC board on Wednesday to
     discuss the charges stemming from the incident.   Welch:
     "For 12 years, I have never wanted to do anything to hurt
     this Olympics and this city.  I will act with that in mind.
     I hope (the board's) decision is made based on specifics of
     Alma [his wife] and Tom, of where we're at and where we've
     been" (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 7/26).
