OLYMPIC NOTES

          The USOC said the Salt Lake bid scandal cost it $1M in
     extra legal fees and asked its board to raise its budget to
     "cover the unexpected expenses." The USOC's total budget is
     $452M for four years through 2000 (L.A. TIMES, 4/10)....The
     eight U.S. cities bidding for the 2012 Summer Games could
     get extra time to submit bids to the USOC to allow time "to
     incorporate changes that might be needed" if the IOC is
     restructured."  Bid dates could be pushed back from March
     31, 2000 to "as late" as December 2000 (FT. WORTH STAR-
     TELEGRAM, 4/11)....Former U.S. Senator Howard Baker was one
     of five non-IOC members appointed to an eight-member ethics
     commission to form an IOC code of conduct (Mult., 4/10).
