OLYMPIC NOTES

          In Salt Lake City, Linda Fantin reports that John
     Fowler, the "point man" of UT Gov. Mike Leavitt's Olympics
     preparations, "has unexpectedly quit" to become CFO of a FL
     company.  Fowler: "With the progress that has been made by
     [SLOC] and with the success of this past legislative session
     ... I feel like we are at a point where I am not leaving
     anyone or anything in a lurch, that I can walk away and look
     back with a lot of satisfaction and appreciation for my
     contribution" (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 4/20)....Also in Salt Lake
     City, Mike Gorrell reports that the IOC "signed off on the
     colors and various styles of outdoor and indoor uniforms to
     be worn in 2002" by SLOC staff members and volunteers.  The
     approval allows Marker Ltd. to "begin production of
     prototype uniforms, which [SLOC President Mitt] Romney said
     will be unveiled late this year" (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 4/20).
