MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG'S STATEMENT ON THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE'S DECISION

"It is an honor for New York City to be selected by the United States Olympic Committee as one of two finalists for designation as the U.S. Candidate City for the 2012 Olympic Games. Bringing the Olympic Games to the 'World's Second Home' would celebrate our unequalled diversity and participants from every nation would feel welcome. Today's selection is a tribute to enormous support the bid has received from all New Yorkers and the tireless efforts of the thousands who have worked to make our Olympic vision into a reality."
