2003 PAN AM GAMES NOT EXPECTED TO BE MOVED TO SAN ANTONIO

10.12.2000

           USOC Dir of PR Mike Moran said that the 2003 Pan
     American Games would "absolutely not be moved to San Antonio
     due to financial difficulties in the Dominican Republic," 
     according to Jennifer Bellis of the SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-
     NEWS.  Moran: "We feel really strong about San Antonio in
     2007.  It is not fair to present it to a city so quickly
     with all the money that is involved."  Bellis reports that
     "money is the main issue" with the Dominican Republic's plan
     to host the event in '03.  Pan Am officials are "debating
     the issue" of putting the country into debt for the Games
     and legislators are "questioning the wisdom" of borrowing
     money to pay for "Games-related expenses."  Pan American
     Sports Organization reps will meet next week in Colorado
     Springs (SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, 10/12).
