SALT LAKE YET TO SEARCH FOR LEADER OF 2002 WINTER GAMES

          Nearly three weeks after Tom Welch resigned as SLOC 
     President, Olympic organizers haven't started the search for
     his permanent replacement, according to Lisa Riley Roche of
     the DESERET NEWS.  The SLOC Board of Trustees "have yet to
     even decide how to go about filling the job."  SLOC Board
     Member Ken Bullock: "It's a concern.  We're not getting on
     with finding a replacement for Tom."  But SLOC non-voting
     Board Member Stan Parrish wants a "management review" done
     to see if a President/CEO are necessary.  Riley Roche wrote
     that interim President Frank Joklik "is considered the top
     candidate" to replace Welch (DESERT NEWS, 8/17).  A DESERET
     NEWS editorial said SLOC "needs a great ... organizer, one
     who not only knows the long and storied history of the
     Olympic movement but also which parts of that history
     should, and should not, be repeated" (DESERET NEWS, 8/19).
