The subcommittee met at 2 p.m., pursuant to notice, in room 2218, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Fred B. Rooney (chairman) presiding. Mr. ROONEY. This afternoon we are going to have the first of 2 days of hearings on H.R. 8906. The purpose of this bill is to authorize a $50 million appropriation to the Secretary of Commerce for the 13th international winter Olympic games to be held in 1980 in Lake Placid, N.Y. The funds are to be used to assist in the planning, designing, and constructing necessary facilities for these games. These facilities are to be designed and constructed in a manner to assure maximum continued public use after the completion of the games. The bill further provides for a $250,000 appropriation to the Secretary of Commerce to administer the act.

Our interest and enthusiasm for the Olympic games is certainly enhanced by having Congressman Metcalfe on this subcommittee. Unfortunately, due to prior commitments that could not be changed, he is unable to be with us today. Mr. Metcalfe is a distinguished and active member of the President's Commission on Olympic Sports. Moreover, we and the whole Nation are proud of his outstanding accomplishments in the 1932 and 1936 summer Olympic games. Ralph won a silver medal for the 100 meter dash and a bronze medal for the 200 meter dash in the 1932 games. In the 1936 games he won a gold medal for the 400 meter relay and a silver medal for the 100 meter dash. You will recall that Ralph and other American athletes were involved in an international relations incident during the 1936 games which certainly had no place in those or any other Olympic games. Similarly, for a number of years the Olympic games have been involved in controversies as to what constitutes an amateur athlete and other matters. We have no intention of becoming involved in such controversies during these hearings. Rather, we will be concerned with such basic (1) |
