Olympic Games: Costs to Plan and Stage the Games in the United	 
States (08-NOV-01, GAO-02-140). 				 
								 
Since 1980, the Winter and Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games	 
hosted in the United States have increased in size and magnitude,
as have the total direct costs to plan and stage them. The	 
reported direct costs to plan and stage the Games discussed in	 
this report ranged from $363 million to more than $2.4 billion.  
Although the total dollar amount of federal funding and support  
has increased, the total federal share of the reported total	 
direct costs to plan and stage the games has decreased. Since	 
1980, the amount of funding and support provided by governments  
at the local and state levels has increased.  Generally, federal 
funding and support for the total direct costs of each of these  
Olympic Games was either specifically designated by Congress or  
approved by the federal agencies.

November 8, 2001 The Honorable Robert F. Bennett Ranking Minority Member
Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch Committee on Appropriations United
States Senate

Dear Senator Bennett: As we have reported in the past, 1 the federal
government has provided and continues to provide significant funding and
support to help plan and stage the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games 2 when
held in the United States. To place such government support in perspective,
you requested that we answer the following questions:  What is the total
direct cost of planning and staging the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games
held in the United States and in other countries that have hosted the Games
since 1980?

 What is the total amount of direct funding and support 3 provided by the
various levels of government within the United States and in other countries
for these events?

 How much of the federal funding and support was specifically designated by
Congress 4 for Olympic- related purposes or approved by the federal agencies
and provided through their normal funding procedures for each of the Games
held in the United States?  How does the total cost of the various Games
compare with the various domestic and foreign governments? share of the
cost?

 How do the government- sponsored Olympic- related projects and activities
compare among the various Games? 1 Olympic Games: Federal Government
Provides Significant Funding and Support (GAO/ GGD- 00- 183, Sept. 8, 2000).
2 The Paralympic Games are for disabled athletes and, when held, are held
immediately following the Olympic Games. 3 For the purpose of this report,
?direct funding and support? means the funding and support that would not
have been provided were it not for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 4 These
are federal funds and support identified for a specific Olympic- related
purpose, as described in appropriations acts or committee reports
accompanying those acts.

To meet your immediate need for information, we agreed to respond to these
questions in two separate reports. This report addresses the first three
questions listed above, as they pertain to the Olympic and Paralympic Games
held in the United States. Specifically, this report identifies the

reported total direct cost of planning and staging the Winter Olympic Games
held in 1980 at Lake Placid, NY; 5 the Winter Olympic Games and Paralympic
Games planned for 2002 at Salt Lake City, UT; the Summer Olympic Games held
in 1984 at Los Angeles, CA; 6 and the Summer Olympic Games and Paralympic
Games held in 1996 at Atlanta, GA. This report also identifies, to the
maximum extent possible, total direct government funding and support at the
local, state, and federal levels in the United States for

each of these games. Additionally, this report focuses on how the direct
federal funding and support were used, and it identifies all of the reported
federally sponsored projects and activities for each of the Games. Finally,

this report identifies the federal funding and support specifically
designated by Congress for Olympic- related purposes for each of the Games
in the United States and the amount of federal funding and support approved
by the federal agencies and provided through their normal funding
procedures. The second report will update the information presented herein
and will respond to the last two questions you asked regarding the Games
discussed in this report. Additionally, the second report will address all
of your questions regarding the Olympic Winter Games held in 1988 at
Calgary, Canada; and in 1994 at Lillehammer, Norway; the Olympic Summer
Games held in 1992 at Barcelona, Spain; and in 2000 at Sydney, Australia.
The

second report will be issued in 2002. 5 The Paralympic Games were not a part
of the 1980 Olympic Winter Games. 6 The Paralympic Games were not a part of
the 1984 Olympic Summer Games.

Because there is no central source for all of the information you requested,
we obtained cost data reported by the principal parties that funded and
supported these events. 7 These parties included (1) applicable Olympic
Games Organizing Committees, which are private organizations established by
the host cities to plan and stage the Games; (2) state and local governments
associated with the designated host cities for the Games; and (3) federal
government agencies, through their various programs and activities. Our
primary sources of information included (1) the Salt Lake City Organizing
Committee (SLOC) officials, who are currently responsible for planning and
staging the Games planned for 2002 at Salt Lake City, UT; (2) California and
Utah state and local government officials, who are cognizant of their
respective state and local governments? funding and support for the Games;
and (3) federal officials at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
24 other federal agencies that provided funding and support for the Olympic
and Paralympic Games. The

effort to identify federal funding and support was aided considerably by
OMB?s implementation of our past recommendation to provide a consolidated
report of federal agency funding and support for the Olympic Games.
Specifically, the President?s 2002 Budget listed for the first time all
federal Olympic spending in one table and identified the federal agencies
and the amounts spent or planned to be spent for the 2002 Games in Salt Lake
City. 8 We began with these listed agencies and obtained the necessary

supporting information to verify or update their reported figures.
Additionally, we relied upon other previously published information,
including that reported (1) by us on federal funding and support and the

7 At the time of this review, federal, state, and local government and SLOC
officials were reviewing their security- related concerns in light of the
terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to determine whether additional
federal funding and support would be needed to meet any additional security
requirements. As reported to us by October 25, 2001, the General Services
Administration requested $800, 000; U. S. Department of Agriculture, Office
of Inspector General, requested $344, 000; Department of Justice requested
$1, 378, 000; and

Department of Defense requested $30 million for additional security
requirements. But to date, only $20 million of Defense?s request had been
approved. The SLOC finance director told us that SLOC currently did not plan
on requesting additional federal funding or support. The Utah Public Safety
Command Director told us that the Command planned to request an additional
$4. 5 million in federal funding and additional military support to assist
in local

public safety activities. Because other federal agencies? plans were still
under review and not all of the requests had been approved, we did not
include these additional costs or government funding and support associated
with the September 11, 2001, attacks in this report. The second report will
include all reported approved additional costs. 8 The President?s Budget as

types of government- sponsored projects and activities for the 1984 Olympic
and 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Games; (2) by Olympic Organizing Committees
following the 1984 Olympic and 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which
reported the amount of the private- sector costs for each of the Games; and
(3) by various federal agencies, congressional committees, and the
Congressional Research Service, since 1980. We reviewed these

reports and, to the extent possible, obtained and examined available
supporting documentation, but we did not independently verify the data. We
conducted our review from August 2001 to October 2001, in accordance with
generally accepted government auditing standards. A more detailed
description of our scope and methodology is included in appendix I.

Results in Brief Since 1980, the Winter and Summer Olympic and Paralympic
Games hosted in the United States have increased in size and magnitude, as
have the total direct costs to plan and stage the Games. According to
federal and

organizing committee officials, these costs were greatly affected by such
factors as the type and size of the Games. Also, the Paralympic Games, when
held in conjunction with the Olympic Games, increased the total

costs of planning and staging the Games. The reported total direct costs to
plan and stage the Games discussed in this report ranged from a low of $363
million, in 2001 dollars, for the 1980 Winter Olympic Games held in Lake
Placid, NY, to a high of more than $2.4 billion for the 1996 Summer Olympic
Games held in Atlanta, GA. 9 Correspondingly, since 1980, the amount of
funding and support provided by governments at the local, state, and federal
levels has also increased.

Based on the information available, state and local government funding of
the direct costs for planning and staging the Games ranged from what was
termed as a minimal amount (by the former Los Angeles Olympic Organizing
Committee (LAOOC) Vice- President for Government Relations) for the 1984
Games at Los Angeles to a maximum of about $225 million (12 percent of the
total cost) for the planned 2002 Games at Salt Lake City. The reported total
amount of direct federal government funding and support for these Games
ranged from a low of about $78 million of the total direct cost for the 1984
Games to a high of about $342 million of the total direct cost for the
planned 2002 Games. However, we also noted that although the

total dollar amount of federal funding and support has increased since 9 All
financial information presented in this report is in constant 2001 dollars.

1980, the total federal share of the reported total direct costs to plan and
stage the Games has actually decreased. For example, the federal share of
the total direct costs to plan and stage the 1980 Winter Olympic Games at
Lake Placid was about 50 percent of the total direct costs, whereas the

federal share for the planned 2002 Winter Olympic Games at Salt Lake City is
currently estimated at 18 percent of the total direct costs. Similarly, the
federal share of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games at Los Angeles was about 11
percent, whereas the federal share of the total direct cost for the 1996
Summer Olympic Games at Atlanta was 8 percent.

Generally, federal funding and support for the total direct costs of each of
these Olympic Games was either specifically designated by Congress or
approved by the federal agencies and provided through their normal funding
procedures. Specifically, Congress designated $96 million (53 percent of the
federal funding and support) toward the 1980 Winter Games; $206 million (59
percent of the federal funding and support) toward the planned 2002 Winter
Games; $76 million (98 percent of the federal funding and support) for the
1984 Summer Games; and $86 million (45 percent of the federal funding and
support) toward the 1996 Summer Games. The remaining amounts of federal
funding and support, as mentioned above, for each of the Games were approved
by the federal agencies and were provided through the agencies? normal
funding procedures. With the exception of the 1980 Games, where the largest
share of the direct federal funding and support (71 percent) was used to
build and construct venues for sporting events and housing for athletes and
coaches, the largest federal share for the other three Games was used or is
expected to be used

principally to provide safety- and security- related services- 95 percent
for the 1984 Games, 52 percent for the 1996 Games, and 54 percent for the
planned 2002 Games. 10

10 As mentioned earlier, the total amount to be spent for security- related
purposes at the 2002 Games will increase as a result of the September 11,
2001, attacks.

Background The Olympic Games take place every 4 years, with the Winter and
Summer Games alternating on a 2- year cycle. The Ted Stevens Olympic and
Amateur Sports Act (Amateur Sports Act), 36 U. S. C.sect. 220501 et seq., which
was originally enacted in 1978 as the Amateur Sports Act, gives the U. S.
Olympic Committee (USOC) exclusive jurisdiction over all matters pertaining
to the participation of the United States in the Olympic Games, including
the representation of the United States in such Games and the

organization of the Games when held in the United States. 11 The Amateur
Sports Act was amended in 1998 to incorporate the Paralympic Games under the
umbrella of USOC. Although organized separately, the 1996 Summer Olympic
Games marked the first time the Paralympic Games were held in conjunction
with the Olympic Games in the United States. On May 27, 1997, SLOC was
awarded the rights to host the 2002 Winter Paralympic Games. About $363

Lake Placid not held in conjunction with the Olympic Games. According to a
Department of Commerce report following the Games, and as shown in figure 1,
about $363 million was spent on planning and staging these

Games. 12 The Lake Placid Organizing Committee (LPOC) funded about $121
million (33 percent) of the total cost. The State of New York provided about
$63 million (17 percent) for building and constructing venues, such

as the alpine, cross- country, and biathlon skiing facilities in the Lake
Placid area. In addition, the federal government provided about $179 million
(50 percent) in funding and support. According to the Department of Commerce
report, of the $179 million in federal funding and support, Congress
specifically designated about $96 million for Olympic- related

projects, and the remaining approximately $83 million was approved and
provided through the normal funding procedures of the departments of 11 USOC

As shown in figure 2, federal funding and support for the Games, or about
$127 million (71 percent of the federal share), was used for venue
construction (37 percent) and housing for the athletes (34 percent).
Specifically, the federal government helped finance the ski jumps, speed
skating oval, skating arena, winter sports arena, luge run, parking
facilities, dressing rooms, and storage facilities. The federal government
also provided housing and infrastructure support projects for the athletes,

trainers, and coaches, such as the temporary and permanent buildings erected
on a 55- acre site near Lake Placid used to house the athletes participating
in the Games. These facilities were also used for security operations. The
remaining direct federal funding and support were used for safety- and
security- related activities, which accounted for about $23

million (13 percent); transportation projects, such as highway, airport, and

railway improvements, which accounted for about $16 million (9 percent); and
staging- and- operations activities during the Olympic events, which
accounted for about $13 million (7 percent). Appendix II lists the specific
federally sponsored Olympic- related projects and activities and the amounts
of federal funding and support for each.

approximately $342 million (18 percent) of the total direct cost for
planning and staging the

Games. 13 13 As we reported in September 2000, approximately $1. 1 billion
in additional federal funding and support had been provided or was planned
to be provided indirectly for the 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This
funding and support was used or was planned to be used for such projects as
highways, transit systems, and other capital improvements. According to
federal and state officials, these projects would eventually have been
undertaken regardless of the Olympic Games, but they were prioritized or
accelerated so that they could be completed in time for the Games.

Figure 3: Total Direct Cost for Planning and Staging the 2002 Winter Olympic
and Paralympic Games in Salt Lake City, UT

agencies.

Specifically, 18 federal agencies reported that they have provided or plan
to provide an estimated $342 million in funding and support for projects and
activities directly related to the planned 2002 Games. Of the $342 million
in federal funding and support provided or planned for the 2002 Games,

Congress had specifically designated about $208 million (61 percent) for
specific Olympic- related projects and activities. About $134 million (39
percent) was approved by the agencies and provided through their normal
funding procedures.

As shown in figure 4, the federal government?s involvement includes safety-
and security- related activities, transportation, housing and infrastructure
support, venue building and construction, and staging operations during the
Games. In total, not including additional security costs that may be
incurred as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the

federal government plans to spend about $185 million on safety- and
security- related activities. Such activities range from venue perimeter
security projects and activities during the Games themselves to heightened
security- related activities of individual agencies necessitated by the
Games.

For example, the General Services Administration (GSA) plans to spend about
$1. 6 million to protect its facilities during the Games. These are funds
that GSA would not have had to spend were it not for the Olympic Games. The
next largest amount of federal funding and support is about $106 million for
transportation projects. The Department of Transportation

plans to spend this amount in part to provide a temporary spectator
transportation system. This system will consist of Salt Lake City transit
buses and drivers and borrowed transit buses and drivers from other cities
across the United States, bus maintenance, construction and operation of
park- and- ride lots, and loading and unloading facilities. In addition, the
Department of Transportation is planning to provide an additional $25
million, of the total $27 million allocated for venue construction, to
support the building and construction of access roads to certain venues for
the Games. An estimated $19 million in federal funds is also being provided
to support staging- and- operations activities during the Games. The

Department of Housing and Urban Development is providing an estimated $4
million for Salt Lake City redevelopment projects and temporary housing for
the athletes participating in the Games. Appendix III lists the specific
federally sponsored Olympic- related projects and activities and the amounts
of federal funding and support for each.

Total Direct Cost and Los Angeles, then a metropolis of more than 11 million
people, hosted the Government Funding 1984 Olympic Games. According to
information compiled by a USOC

official, about 7,078 athletes from 140 nations participated in 221 sporting
and Support for

events at 27 venues for an audience of an estimated 8 million visitors to
the Planning and Staging

Olympic Games. At that time, the Paralympic Games were not held along the
1984 Summer

with the Olympic Games. As shown in figure 5, the reported total direct cost
to plan and stage the 1984 Games was approximately $707 million. Of Olympic
Games in Los this amount, LAOOC reported providing about $629 million (89
percent) of Angeles the total direct cost for the Games. The remaining
approximately $78 million of the total direct cost for planning and staging
the Games, as we reported in September 2000, was provided by the federal
government through the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense,
Justice,

State, Transportation, Health and Human Services, the Treasury, and Veterans
Affairs, as well as the Federal Communications Commission and the U. S.
Information Agency.

and Staging the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, CA

Although data on California and Los Angeles government funding and support
for the 1984 Games were not available, according to the former LAOOC Vice-
President for Government Relations for the 1984 Games, state and local
funding was minimal. According to this official, Los Angeles voters passed a
charter amendment in November 1978 prohibiting any capital expenditure by
the city on the Olympic Games that would not, by binding commitment, be
reimbursed. As noted in our September 2000 report, Los Angeles city
officials believed that the host cities for Olympic Games held before 1984
often overextended themselves by trying to complete state- of- the- art
Olympic venues and related capital improvement projects. Such actions, in
their view, pushed those host cities into debt that

remained long after the Games. As a result, city officials decided that they
(1) would not undertake any new construction or capital improvements
specifically for the Olympic Games and (2) would encourage spectators to

use the transit or bus systems in place at the time or simply to drive their
cars to the events.

Figure 5 also shows that the approximately $78 million in federal funding
and support represented about 11 percent of the total cost for projects and

activities related to the Games. As shown in figure 6, about $74 million of
the federal expenditures was used to support safety- and security- related
activities for the Games. The remaining $4 million was used for stagingand-
operations activities during the events. Of the $78 million total, Congress
specifically designated about $76 million for mostly securityrelated
projects and activities, and $2 million (3 percent) was approved by the
federal agencies and provided through their normal funding procedures.
Appendix IV lists the specific federally sponsored Olympicrelated projects
and activities and the amounts of federal funding and support for each.

Total Direct Cost and Atlanta, GA, is a large metropolitan area that had a
population of more than Government Funding

3.4 million in 1996 when it served as the host city for the Summer Olympic
Games. According to information compiled by a USOC official, about and
Support for

10, 332 Olympic athletes from 197 countries participated in 271 sporting
Planning and Staging events at 29 venues, for an audience estimated at 8.3
million people. Also,

the1996 Summer 3,310 Paralympic athletes from 104 countries participated in
sporting events at 16 venues. As shown in figure 7, the total direct cost
for planning Olympic and

and staging these Games was about $2.4 billion. According to the Paralympic
Games in information compiled by SLOC officials, of the $2.4 billion, the
Atlanta

Committee for Olympic Games (ACOG) and the Atlanta Paralympic Atlanta, GA
Organizing Committee (APOC) contributed nearly $2 billion (82 percent) for
the 1996 Games. ACOG- and APOC- funded projects and activities

included transportation, safety and security, Paralympic operations,
temporary and permanent facilities, and telecommunications. According to
information from SLOC, local governments where the various venues

were located during the Games contributed about $234 million (10 percent),
which was used to help construct some of the facilities used to support the
Games. 14 The federal government?s share of the total cost to

plan and stage the event, as we reported in our September 2000 report, was
about $193 million, or 8 percent of the approximately $2. 4 billion in total
direct costs. 15 14 Data on state funding and support were not available at
the time of this review. 15 As we reported in September 2000, approximately
$443 million in additional federal funding and support had been provided
indirectly for the 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This funding and
support were used for such projects as highways, transit systems, and other
capital improvements. According to federal and state officials, these
projects would eventually have been undertaken regardless of the Olympic
Games, but they were prioritized or accelerated so that they could be
completed in time for the Games.

Figure 7: Total Direct Cost for Planning and Staging the 1996 Summer Olympic
and Paralympic Games in Atlanta, GA

Of the approximately $193 million provided by the federal government, $86
million (45 percent) was specifically designated by Congress for
Olympicrelated projects and activities and $106 million (55 percent) was
approved by the agencies and provided through their normal funding
procedures. Similar to previous Olympic Games, ensuring adequate safety and
security was a primary concern of federal officials at the Games in Atlanta.
As shown in figure 8, safety- and security- related projects related to the
Games

represented about $101 million (52 percent) of the federal government?s
total direct cost. The federal agencies providing safety- and
securityrelated funding and support included the departments of Agriculture,
Defense, Health and Human Services, the Interior, Justice, State,
Transportation, the Treasury, and Veterans Affairs. Funding and support was
also provided by the Corporation for National and Community Services, the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Executive Board, and the
Environmental Protection Agency. About $68

million (36 percent) of the $193 million in federal expenditures was used
for venue construction and staging operations during the Olympic events. For
example, approximately $18 million was used to construct the Whitewater
Rapids Venue, and approximately $5 million was used for the pre- trial and
Olympic Whitewater Rapids events operations during the Games. Transportation
represented about $21 million (11 percent) of the

federal funds expended on the Games, housing and infrastructure projects
represented $2 million (1 percent), and venue construction represented about
$36 million (19 percent).

Agency Comments and We provided copies of a draft of this report to the
heads of OMB, SLOC, and

Our Evaluation USOC and to former officials of LAOOC for their review and
comments.

Additionally, for their review and comments, we provided to each of the
federal agencies listed in Appendix III copies of a draft of their reported
figures regarding (1) the amount of federal funding and support and (2) the
applicable projects and activities for the planned 2002 Olympic and
Paralympic Games at Salt Lake City, UT. We received oral comments from
agency- designated officials or audit liaisons at OMB and most of the
federal

agencies, and from the former LAOOC Vice- President for Government
Relations. Generally these officials had no comments, or they provided

technical changes- to correct the reported amounts of federal funding and
support provided for the Olympic Games, or to improve clarity- which were
made where appropriate.

We also received written comments from the president and chief executive
officer of SLOC, which generally agreed with our report. Briefly, he stated
that our report accurately reflected the growth of the Olympic and
Paralympic Games during the past 20 years and pointed out that the increase
in the federal government?s share of the cost occurred in traditional areas
of government functions, security and transportation, while federal
expenditure on nongovernment functions, such as venue construction, had
significantly decreased. He also cited two significant factors, outside the
scope of our work, that contributed to the growth in cost: the technological
advances in measuring and in broadcasting the

results of the competitions. Finally, he explained that one of his top
priorities is to help reverse the trend of the Games to be ?bigger and
better? than those before, and that he plans to make a series of
recommendations

to the International Olympic Committee president on reducing the scope and
controlling the growth in cost for future Olympic Games. Unless you publicly
announce the contents of this report earlier, we plan no further
distribution of it until 15 days from the date of this report. We will then
send copies of this report to Senator Robert C. Byrd, Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Appropriations; Ted Stevens, Ranking Minority Member, Senate
Committee on Appropriations; and C. W. Bill Young, Chairman, and David R.
Obey, Ranking Minority Member, of the House Committee on Appropriations. We
are also sending copies to Senators Fritz Hollings, Chairman, and John
McCain, Ranking Minority Member, of

the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation; and
Representatives W. J. Billy Tauzin, Chairman, and John D. Dingell, Ranking
Minority Member, of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. We are also
sending copies of this report to Senator Orrin Hatch and

Representatives James V. Hansen, Jim Matheson, and Christopher Cannon, of
Utah. Copies of this report will also be sent to the Director of OMB; the
secretaries of the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education,
Energy, Health and Human Services, the Interior, Housing and

Urban Development, Labor, State, Transportation, the Treasury, and Veterans
Affairs; and the Attorney General. We are also sending copies to the heads
of the Environmental Protection Agency, Federal

Communications Commission, Federal Emergency Management Agency, General
Services Administration, and Tennessee Valley Authority; and to

the Postmaster General. We will also make copies available to others upon
request.

Objectives, Scope, and Methodology As discussed in this report, the
objectives of this assignment were to determine:  the total direct cost of
planning and staging the Winter Olympic Games held in 1980 at Lake Placid,
NY; and the Winter Olympic Games and

Paralympic Games planned for 2002 at Salt Lake City, UT; the Summer Olympic
Games held in 1984 at Los Angeles, CA; and the Summer Olympic Games and
Paralympic Games held in 1996 at Atlanta, GA;  the total direct government
funding and support at the local, state, and

federal levels, where available, for each of these Games; how the federal
funding and support were used; a complete roster of all the reported
projects and activities for each of the Games; and  the amount of federal
funds and support specifically designated by

Congress for Olympic- related purposes, and the amount of federal funding
and support approved by the agencies and provided through their normal
funding procedures for each of these Games.

To respond to the first objective, because there is no central source for
the needed information, we obtained data on the costs incurred by the
principal parties that funded and supported these events. These parties
included (1) applicable Olympic Games Organizing Committees that are

private organizations established by the host cities to plan and stage the
Games; (2) state and local governments associated with the designated host
cities for the Games; and (3) federal government agencies. Our primary
sources of information included:

 Salt Lake City Organizing Committee (SLOC) officials, who are currently
responsible for planning and staging the Games planned for 2002 at Salt Lake
City, and Olympic organizing committee reports following the 1984 Olympics
and the1996 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, which provided financial
statements showing the total amount of the privatesector costs for each of
the Games;  Utah and California state and local government officials
cognizant of their respective state and local governments? funding and
support for

the Games held in Salt Lake City and in Los Angeles; and

Department of Commerce report published in 1982 after the 1980 Winter
Olympic Games; our previously published report regarding federal funding and
support for the 1984 Olympics and the 1996 Summer Olympic and Paralympic
Games; and OMB and 22 federal organizations, including the U. S. Postal
Service, for the planned 2002 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games at Salt
Lake City. 1 The federal agencies included the  Department of Agriculture,
 Department of Commerce,  Department of Defense,  Department of
Education,  Department of Energy,  Department of Health and Human
Services,  Department of Housing and Urban Development,  Department of the
Interior,  Department of Justice,  Department of Labor,  Department of
State,  Department of Transportation,  Department of the Treasury, 
Department of Veterans Affairs,  Environmental Protection Agency,  Federal
Communications Commission,  Federal Emergency Management Agency,  Federal
Executive Board,  General Services Administration,  National Aeronautics
and Space Administration,  Social Security Administration, and  U. S.
Postal Service.

To respond to the second objective, we also contacted state and local
government officials associated with the designated host city for the Games,
and we made inquiries of the 22 federal organizations listed above. The
effort to identify federal funding and support was aided considerably 1 Of
the 22 federal agencies, four federal agencies (Department of Labor, Federal
Executive

Board, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Social
Security Administration) reported providing no funding or support for the
2002 Winter Olympic and Paralymic Games.

by OMB?s implementation of our past recommendation to require a consolidated
reporting of federal agency funding and support for the Olympic Games.
Specifically, the President?s 2002 Budget listed for the first time all
federal Olympic spending in one table, which identified the federal agencies
and the amounts spent or planned to be spent for the 2002 Games in Salt Lake
City. We began with these listed agencies and obtained the necessary
supporting information to verify or update their reported figures. We relied
upon the agency officials? reports of (1) funding and support, and (2)
projects and activities directly related to planning and staging the Olympic
Games or Paralympic Games. To respond to the third objective, we relied upon
information we and other agencies previously reported pertaining to the
amount of congressionally

designated and agency- approved federal funding and support for the Games
held in 1980 at Lake Placid, NY; in 1984 at Los Angeles, CA; and in 1996 at
Atlanta, GA. We depended upon the agencies to update the amount of
congressionally designated and agency- approved federal funding and

support, and to report this information to us for the planned 2002 Games at
Salt Lake City, UT. At each agency we obtained, to the extent possible,
supporting information for (1) the agency?s reported federal funding and
support, and (2) the agency?s identification and description of its Olympic-
related projects and activities. The figures reported by the agencies for
the planned 2002 Games

at Salt Lake City, UT, included all funding and support as of July 31, 2001.
We did not independently verify the data but relied upon each agency to make
its own determination as to (1) the funding and support, and (2) the project
or activity?s direct relationship to planning and staging the Olympic

and Paralympic Games. We conducted our review from August 2001 to October
2001, in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

GAO?s Mission The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of
Congress, exists to support Congress in meeting its constitutional
responsibilities and to help improve the performance and accountability of
the federal government for the American people. GAO examines the use of
public funds; evaluates federal programs and

policies; and provides analyses, recommendations, and other assistance to
help Congress make informed oversight, policy, and funding decisions. GAO?s
commitment to good government is reflected in its core values of
accountability, integrity, and reliability.
