COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Organizers of the Pan American
Games plan to meet Saturday to discuss the 2003 games scheduled to
be held in the Dominican Republic.
The agenda for the meeting, which will be held at the U.S. Olympic Committee headquarters, has not been released, said
USOC spokesman Bob Condron.
The announcement of the meeting comes a week after lawmakers in
the Dominican Republic questioned whether the Caribbean nation can
afford the estimated $62.5 million needed to stage the games.
The government of former President Leonel Fernandez agreed to
host the quadrennial regional Olympics, but he was voted out of
office in May.
Canada, Argentina and Cuba staged the three previous Pan Am
Games in 1999, 1995 and 1991.
