chairman of a _ three-man
group set up by the iIn-
ternational Olympic
Committee to look into the
possibilities of establishing a
permanent Olympic home,
said Friday, “The 1996
Games belong to Greece,
but even if the Games return
to Greece, I ask you is it
likely for the installations to
be ready before that time?”
