SLOC SETS JOKLIK PAY; USOC HITS 73% OF AD SALES GOAL

          The SLOC set President Frank Joklik's salary at
     $280,000 annually, "roughly" $50,000 a year less than paid
     to former SLOC President Tom Welch, according to Mike
     Gorrell of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE.  No benefits were granted
     and Welch "will not be paid" for overtime hours he has
     accrued.  R. Don Cash, head of SLOC's compensation sub-
     committee: "Frank Joklik was not interested in making money
     on the Olympics.  [He] did request that we be very frugal"
     (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 7/10).  In other news, SLOC and the
     USOC's joint marketing effort has raised $588M, 73% of its
     stated $806M goal to be reached by August 1, '99.  Also,
     Cindy Gillespie has "reconsidered her decision to resign" as
     SLOC VP Federal Relations (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 7/10).
