             10      Be it resolved by the Legislature of the state of Utah, the Governor concurring therein:
             11          WHEREAS, the state of Utah looks forward eagerly to welcoming the many athletes from
             12      around the world who will compete in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and the VIII Paralympic
             13      Winter Games;
             14          WHEREAS, many athletes are at this moment engaged in intense training and preparation
             15      for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and the VIII Paralympic Winter Games;
             16          WHEREAS, the parents of these aspiring Olympians and Paralympians have supported and
             17      encouraged their daughters and sons to pursue their Olympic dreams;
             18          WHEREAS, for many years these parents have sacrificed greatly to help their children
             19      prepare for their quest for victory;
             20          WHEREAS, this sacrifice may prevent those parents from attending the 2002 Olympic
             21      Winter Games and the VIII Paralympic Winter Games and supporting their loved ones for financial
             22      reasons;
             23          WHEREAS, elected leaders of the state of Utah want to open their homes to these parents
             24      so that one more financial barrier to their attendance at these Games may be lifted; and
             25          WHEREAS, Utahns can play a vital role in making the Olympic dream not only a memory

             26      but a personal experience for many parents of Olympic competitors:
             27          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of the state of Utah, the
             28      Governor concurring therein, pledge to open our homes to the parents of the athletes who will
             29      compete in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and the VIII Paralympic Winter Games.
             30          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislature and the Governor encourage all Utahns
             31      to offer a warm welcome and a place to stay so that parents of competing athletes may join us in
             32      celebrating the achievements and triumphs of the world's Olympians and Paralympians.
             33          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the International
             34      Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, the United States Olympic
             35      Committee, the National Paralympic Committee, and the Salt Lake Olympic Organizing
             36      Committee.
