While we applaud the restrictions Mayor E. J. Garn has attached to the bid, there are still too many unanswered questions for him to receive our support. There are the logistical questions of traffic control, both in Little Cottonwood Canyon and at the University of Utah. The latter site, proposed for the ski jump g and competitions, is especially in question since classes would be in session and the school can already has too many cars for its catch highway system. Simiarly, there are questions of traffic management and parking for the events in Park City, something resort promoters got a taste of last summer when cars backed up toward Snyderville just before the Gordon catastrophe of this nature anyone may count on Americas deep - humani-tarianis- B-5- 2s m, generosity and friendship.

Little consideration appears to have been given to the handling of these people. Throughout our various forays into public meetings and private interviews, we have been struck by the overall sincerity and integrity with which the bid is being submitted. Mayor Gams prompt action, establishing citizen committees to determine what impact the games would have, demonstrates on his part. Our complaint is that whatever these committees find will surface well after the International Olympic Committee has considered the current bid. The information should have been available before the bid was even submitted. The possible prices Utah would pay of prematurely hosting the Winter Olympics are too great for any serious consideration of a bid that even the IOC calls incomplete. There may come a time that Utah is ready, but that time is not now. "Yes,, sir. And how should I file them?. "Under Catastrophes, of course. But label one, Peace, and the other, Friendship.
