Whereas, the City Council of the City of Columbia has established the Columbia Organizing Committee to pursue opportunities stemming from the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta; and

Whereas, the University of South Carolina, the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce and its Metro Sports Council also actively participated in the formation of the Committee and are represented on it along with other residents of the City of Columbia; and

Whereas, the Columbia Organizing Committee is modelled after the Atlanta Organizing Committee, now known as the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games; and

Whereas, the Columbia Organizing Committee will pursue ways to assist the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games in reaching its goals as the host site for the 1996 Summer Olympics; and

Whereas, the Columbia Organizing Committee will serve as a means by which businesses and residents of the Columbia Metropolitan Area can express their support for Atlanta's Olympics and help promote the possibility of the Midlands area's being either a site for pre-Olympics training for one or more participating countries, for exhibition competition, and/or as a satellite location for selected Olympic events.
