Accommodations
Provide a superior; standard of living accommodations sintilar to that provided in university
apartment/suite Writs, consistent with the standards established by the IOC Athletes Commission,
but recognizing the limitations of student residence halls./Develop additional housing units within
the spirit of our bid.
I
The housing function will operate with a "Front-Desk" arrangement such as that commonly found in
hotels. The Athletes can go to the Front Desk to ask questions and address any problems
concerning their accommodations, or they may call for m~tenance, housekeeping, etc. All NOCs
will be assigned living quarters according to the size of th~ir delegation. In addition, other
considerations (such as conflict avoidance with other delegations) will be weighed in making the
assignments. Each Chef de Mission will be provided withla private room/office as well as the
primary team doctor. The only persons allowed in housit\g areas will be those properly accredited
athletes, officials, and possibly a limited number of guest!f.
I
Most of the rooms will be configured in suite-style accom!m.odations where 8 athletes will share a
common "living room" area and 4 athletes each will sharJ a complete bath. Each room will be
tastefully furnished with essential hardware such as bed~, wardrobes, and dressers. Also, each
room's decor shall be in the Olympic spirit, intermixed with cultural items specific to each NOC as
well as items &om Atlanta, the Southeast, and United States.

New housing will meet Olympic standards, ~d will be consistent with the long-term
requirements of the ultimate owner. It will be mostly of mid-rise configuration
dispersed about the Tech campus and will comprise over 50% of all athlete housing with
5400beds.

I
2.
I
Greek Housing Lease Program
Greek letter organizations' houses will be us~d through an ACOG lease for some
housing of athletes and officials. In general, the houses already have medium- to longterm renovation plans; however, ACOG ~been instrumental in structuring and
establishing a loan program to assist these groups to complete renovations by Fall1995.
I
B. Geoqia State Housing
;
Georgia Tech will sponsor development and operation of University Apartments (in
conjunction with Georgia State University) for apProximately 2,000 student beds (4,000 athlete
beds) constructed at North Avenue and Techwoo~ Drive. These beds would be occupied by
Georgia State University Students after the Olympic Games.
C. Campus Relocation
/
The Village Department will coordinate with Georgia Tech as it plans to secure another campus to
hold the Summer 1996 Academic Session.
I
n. Food Service
I
Provide an outstanding quality of food service in a fast1and efficient manner to the Village occupants
and staff in comfortable, pleasant surroundings. Satisfy the standards of international cuisine generally
accepted by the IOC, and demanded by the NOCs. Prqvide one meal per day for each Village staff
member. Provide meal coupons for purchase by NOCs for their guests or other non-NOC guests and
press who wish to dine in the Festival area.
I
m. NOC Services
Athletes Villages Program Summary
February 8, 1996
I
Page2
�I
Provide the highest levels of customer service in facilitatint the relationship between ACOG and the
NOCs, both before and during the Games. Provide office ~pace, associated equipment, and
telecommunications to every delegation with at least 2S members; all other delegations will be
supported through the NOC Service Center. NOC Services *'s three components: Envoy Program , NOC
Service Center, and Language Services
I
A. Envoy Program
I
During the Games Period, the primary link between eaCh NOC and ACOG is through an appointed
Envoy. As a 'Games expert' thoroughly schooled in ev~ry facet of the Games and all of ACOG's
plans, the NOC Envoys are spedalists in problem resolution. The Envoy will be bilingual (speaking
English and the language of the NOC to whom they ar~ assigned) and have proven management
experience (i.e. proven organizational skills, and probl~m resolution and decision making
experience). The Envoy will be the conduit for all NOO/ ACOG communications.
i
B. NOC Service Center
The NOC Service Center is analogous to an executive secretarial service, designed to fulfill the
administrative needs of the delegations. Insofar as the ~mailer delegations are not provided private
offices (based on Olympic precedent), these delegatio~ will use the NOC Service Center the most.
However, the menu of services the Service Center proV1des are available to all delegations (e.g.
photocopying, typing, etc.). In addition, most services will be fee-based, in order to discourage
overuse. The NOC Service Center will be located conv~nient to all delegations.
C. Language Services
I
It is essential for the functioning of the Village that there be total communication within the Village,
and that every NOC has the capability of communicati(ln through Language Services. This will be
achieved primarily through each NOC's Envoy and thrOugh a centralized language services corps
who conducts this service through telecommunication, as well as limited on-site services as needed.
The Language Services area of ACOG will develop a prbgram with the Village to commensurate
with total Olympic needs.
I
IV. Access Control
!
Ensure that entry is permitted to only those persons properly accredited to enter into the Village and
into the residential zones. This will be accomplished by utilizing extensively trained access control
personnel to staff each access control point and check accreditation badges or other for entry privileges.
Access, therefore, will be permitted not only on the basis of 1proper accreditation, but also upon visual
verification of the picture on the i.d. badge. Access control personnel, therefore, will not only be trained
for their specific functions, but will have explidt and familiar knowledge of the entire accreditation
process (in order to direct unaccredited or improperly accredited persons), security protocol, and
Village details (access points, perimeter, entry process, etc.)!
I
V. Support Services
Provide superior functional support, service, and supply to operational areas of the Village as
compared to past Villages. Provide work areas and loungeJ for these support staff.
A. Housekeeping &: Laundry
:
Provide daily cleaning service to each housing unit, 'including fresh towels daily, with linens
changed every four days. Provide adequate self lauftdry and cleaning facilities for athletes'
personal use.
B. Maintenance

C. Village Beautification and Grounds keeping
I
Ensure that the Village is beautiful and pastoral, uti!f.ing flowers, other landscaping, and
grounds maintenance. This is a significantly greater, level than what currently exists on the
campus, and should reflect what was experienced in prior Olympic Villages.
D. Material Logistics
:

F. Utility Management
!
Ensure reliable, efficient and effective utilities (gasr electric, water, telephone) to Village in
such a way as to maintain the integrity of Village security and minimize inconvenience to
Village residents and guests. It is the job of Securi~ to secure all utilities at and into the
Village, including sewer tunnels and telephone and power lines.

athletes to travel to these attractions.
I
A. Olympic Festival
Designed as a complete recreation, relaxation, and entertainment complex, the Olympic
Festival center will provide all Village residents Jith an exciting focal point for social
interaction. From the quiet solitude of its coffee houses to the exciting beat of its discos, the
Festival has been planned to encourage the friend$hips the Games are meant to inspire. It
:
consists of a shopping mall, a
recreation complex and entertainment complex. Its ambiance is designed to attract athletes
and to encourage their relaxation with grassy knolls and casual seating. It is hoped that this
area will generate everlasting memories of the Atlanta Village.

C. Athletes Ticketing
,
Athletes will have a desire to attend, besides the Opening and Oosing ceremonies, other
Olympic sporting events, plus cultural activities, and excursions outside the Village. There
needs to be a mechanism in which such ticketing can be requested, and fairly and efficiently
allocated. It is not expected that we meet all, or even a majority, of the athletes' desires in
this area, and our objective should be the equitable allocation of the tickets that are
available. A space has been provided in the Inte~tional Zone for an athlete ticket office.

Mr. Donald Baer
Director of Communications
Dear Don:
Enjoyed talking to you last evening.
I
Attached are two of the three recommendations you requested.
I
I
I.
Sergeant Jennifer Rodgers, Oklahoma Ci~y, late 20;s,
white female.
:
I
I
The Police Chief of Oklahoma City, Sam Gonzales,
highly recommends Sgt.
I
Rodgers. She, along With the other police officers, were outstanding in their
performance, and Sgt. Rodgers, a member of th~ Police Department Bicycle
Unit, was among one of the first responders to the bombing. Chief Gonzales
says that she, like the others, totally disregarded their personal safety in their
attempt to rescue survivors.
2.
Dr. Luclas Wright, Jackson, Mississippi, African-American male.
I
His background is attached. There was some question about whether or not the
Delta Service Corps is an Americorps Program.! We are currently checking that
I
out.
.
I
Since we our discussion, we have not been able to get the Los Angeles
nominations in house so it will be tomorrow befbre I can give you several
candidates from that area.
I
OnC"..e you have had a chance to look this
mate~ial over, please give me e call.

I
Subject:
Olympic Torch Relay Runners
I
Attached are three recommendations for the Torch Relay Runners who will sit
with Mrs. Clinton during the State of the Unidn. As discussed, the President will
be the first to announce the selection of these eommunity heroes as three of the
5,500 heroes who will carry the Olympic torch Iacross America. While the
circumstances that have made these individuals community heroes---troubled
inner-city youth, the Oklahoma City bombing,]gang violence---are serious and
tragic, it is important to remember that the Pttrpose of highlighting these people is
to send an uplifting message about the importance of community--represented in
both these individuals and the Olympic ideals.[
More information is available on both the indiyiduals and the Torch Relay. As
you know, sign-off is needed as soon as possibl:e to ensure that these folks can get
I
here.
i
I
Let me know what else you need.

1996 OLYMPICS PRELIMINARY COMMUNICATiONS PLAN
I

Attached are preliminary communications ideas for the 1996 Olympics. This plan
is intended to define our purpose and to identify a wide range of opportunities
that should be explored and strategically incorpdrated into the President's
schedule.

1996 OLYMPICS PRELIMINARY COMMUNICATIONS .PLAN
PURPOSE ·
I
op~ortunity
The 1996 Summer Olympics provide a unique
for Presidential
support, involvement and association with an event of enormous popularity. The
games are both viewed by one of the largest and :diverse audiences ever-2,000,000+ spectators and 3,000,000+viewers--an9 are largely received with
feelings of optimism, hope, and pride throughout Ithe nation. The attached
preliminary communications plan identifies way~ to take advantage of the period
leading up to the games as well as the 17 days of the games for Presidential
involvement.
[
GOAL
To closely identify the President with the positive feelings and vahies of the ..game~ ·~ ...-.w;;,·
by strategically placing the President in events b oth before and at the Olympics.
1
THEMES/MESSAGES
Three messages should be conveyed through the !President's involvement:
I
A)
America as Host to the World
I
I
197 countries participate in the games. This calls for international, nonpartisan, and non-commercialized activity bn the part ofthe President. We
should involve foreign leaders as well as fi!~ures from both sides of the aisle.
We should also be cautious about projectinlg too much American
Chauvinism. The President should be seert as both the President of the
United States and the leader of the world.! His participation should be
designed for both domestic and foreign audiences.
B)
The Dedication and Achievement of/America's Athletes
I
The United States Olympic athletes remin[d us what is best about America's
young people. They represent tremendous! achievement and strong
American values. They are talented, dedicated and diverse. Their success
promotes many of this Administration's values and policies: opportunity,
responsibility, health, dedication, education, anti-drug/tobacco efforts, etc.
I
C)
Public/Private Partnerships
The Olympics are a public/private partner~hip success story. Corporate,
government and volunteer (there are over 40,000 Olympic volunteers)
involvement should be used to illustrate al sum greater than its parts.
1
I
I
2
�...
...
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVOLVEMENT
Listed below are opportunities that should be exJlored and incorporated into the
President's schedule when appropriate. Addition~lly, the Vice President, First
Lady and Mrs. Gore should participate. Chronolbgically, they are:
The Torch Relay
All four principals (and perhaps other Administration officials) should come
into contact with the Torch Relay. Taking[ place from April 27th through
July 19th and passing through 42 states, the relay is known for involving
large, diverse audiences throughout the co~ntry. Two options should be
explored:
I
a) Stops Around the Country
b) White House Ceremony for the Runners
I
Public Service Announcements (PSAs)
Both the United States Olympic Committ~e (USOC) and corporate sponsors
will air public services announcements. We should explore the legal
limitations on having the President featured in some of these and approach
the appropriate parties to determine what I is feasible and strategic.
I
NBC Specials
Beginning in February, NBC Specials on the Olympics take place every
month until the games. We should explor~ what opportunities exist for
Presidential involvement/appearances.
[
The President's Speeches and Schedule
!
I
At a certain point, the President should begin to speak about the games and
the values associated with them in both ubrelated and Olympic-specific
public appearances. This may begin as soon as the State of the Union
Address.
1
i
Former Olympic Athletes
1
We should explore opportunities with the association of former athletes.
Helping to engage them in visiting with a~d teaching America's youth
would allow the President to highlight thd themes discussed above and
would portray the games as applicable to Americans who do not directly
participate in them.
I
I
3
I
II
I
I
- -..... :iji::·.
�..
I
I
Site Visits
I
We should identify Olympic site visits for Jll four principals. The Gores can
attend an event in Tennessee. The PresidJnt and Mrs. Clinton might visit
stadiums in Atlanta as they are completed~ or trial games in cities
throughout the country. Someone should plan to attend the Olympic Dinner
on May 1st and the opening of the Olympib Village on July 6th, for instance.
Heads of State Reception
I
.
The President and Mrs. Clinton should hoJt a reception, at the White House
or in Atlanta, for visiting Heads of State around the .Opening Ceremonies.
Opening Ceremonies and Oosing Ceremon,ies
The President's participation in the Openilg Ceremonies will largely be
dictated by tradition and protocol. We do, !however, need to ensure through
our Scheduling, Advance, and Communications staff as well as the USOC,
that the President's presence in Atlanta is[well-advanced and portrays him
in the light we have set out above.
I
Presence at Actual Events
I
The principals' presence at actual events fflls into two categories:
I
a) Attending the Events
b) Press Around their Attendance [
We need to identify events the principals are interested in~ the most highly
watched events, and the press opportuniti~s around them--half-time
interviews, etc. We should explore an oppbrtunity for the President, First
Lady and Chelsea to attend an event together. (Janet Abrams is having
past presidential participation researched.~
I
Follow-up
For scheduling purposes, we should explorb honoring the athletes,
volunteers and/or corporate leaders at the White House following the games.
I
In addition to events, a press strategy corrlprised of op-eds, feature
interviews, radio actualities, etc. will be p~t in place to ensure maximum
coverage and association with the games.

.From:
Harold Ickes~
Re:
1996 Summer Olympics
Gordon Giffin, a lawyer from Georgia and one of the President's
lead supporters, and who is also very c~ose to senator Nunn, is
very involved in the 1996 summer Olympics.
.
I
He and I had dinner a couple of weeks ago during which he
discussed a number of situations in whiCh the President, Mrs.
Clinton, Chelsea, the Vice President and others in the
Administration could be involved at thelsummer Olympics.
I
More people will see the President involved in one situation at
the summer Olympics than for the four days of the Democratic
National Convention to follow later that same month.
I
Gordon has been discussing the President's "participation" in
connections with the summer Olympics. I suggest, however, that
we begin discussions with him, if you have not already done so,
and that we have a meeting fairly earlylon in 1996 to discuss the
President's possible partici~ation. Gordon can be reached at
404-527-4020 (office), I
