POLL INDICATES SALT LAKE RESIDENTS NOT SEEKING OLYMPICS TIX

          A Deseret News/KSL poll revealed that "most" Salt Lake
     County residents "aren't planning to buy tickets" to the
     2002 Olympic Games, according to Lisa Riley Roche of the
     DESERET NEWS.  Just 15% of the 410 county residents surveyed
     on June 7 by Dan Jones & Associates said that they
     "definitely will buy tickets," while 25% said that they
     "probably will."  The poll has a margin of error of +/- 5%. 
     SLOC President Mitt Romney, on the results of the poll:
     "This is not an election, where you need a majority to win. 
     The number who want to go is vastly larger than the number
     of tickets we have."  But Roche noted that 54% of the poll
     respondents said that they "won't buy tickets," including
     35% who say that they've "definitely made up their minds." 
     Romney: "Our problem is how to make sure everybody who wants
     to come is able to" (DESERET NEWS, 6/17).
