PLUS: OLYMPICS; Sept. 11 Tribute Won't Be on TV
Published: December 17, 2001
Olympic organizers will honor Sept. 11 survivors and victims during the 2002 Winter Games' opening ceremonies, but not as part of the internationally televised program.
A tribute ''of some kind'' will occur in the hour before the show's start, Salt Lake Organizing Committee President Mitt Romney said.
''It's not designed to be a patriotic, American display,'' he said. ''Our view was that while the experience of 9/11 certainly impacts all of us, there should not be a direct tribute in the ceremony itself.''
