Soviets may boycott
the 1988 Olympics
BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI) - The
Secretary General of the United
States Olympic Committee said
yesterday he was not yet convinced
the Soviet Union would participate in
the 1988 summer Olympics, but said
he would personally go to Moscow in
hopes of increasing the chances of a
boycott-free Games.
"I recently met with the president
of the International Olympic Commit-
tee (Juan Antonio Samaranch)," said
USOC executive chief George D.
Miller, "and he assures me the
Eastern bloc countries and the Soviets
are coming to the Games. I'm a little
more skeptical. I am not yet convin-
ced. I don't think the Soviets have
decided yet. I think it all has to do
with the political atmosphere at the
time.
"ADDITIONAL boycotts could
destroy the Games and that is
something we don't want."
Miller's remarks came on the eve of
the opening ceremonies of the sixth
National Sports Festival, a gathering
of more than 3,000 American amateur
athletes in 34 Olympic and Pan
American Games sports.
Miller said his first meeting with
Soviet athletic officials would come
shortly after the end of the festival.
"Bob Helmick (president of the
USOC) and myself will go to Moscow 4
to try to work out an exchange
arrangement," Miller said. "We want
to do everything we can to make it
easier for the Soviets to come to Seoul
in 1988."
