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."
