Bull January 31, 1996 Mr. Ralph Vinovich Vice President Legis. Affairs & Federal Relations Tobacco Institute 1875 Eye Street, NW Suite 800 Washington, DC 20006 Dear Mr. Vinovich: On behalf of the United States Olympic Committee's IVth Olympic Dinner, I want to thank you again for agreeing to serve on our Organizing Committee. As you begin to contact people about attending this year's anniversary Dinner, I thought it might be helpful to include a Dinner fact sheet along with a suggested solicitation letter you might wish to send to your friends and colleagues. As you know, we are very excited about this year's Dinner. Besides the President and Vice President, the Senate and House Leadership, and senior members of the Administration, we expect over 200 Members of Congress to attend. In addition, we already have commitments from such Olympic greats as Bonnie Blair, Riddick Bowe, Peggy Fleming, Nancy Kerrigan, Phil Mahre, Pablo Morales, Edwin Moses, and Frank Shorter, to name a few, to attend and help us celebrate this year's Dinner. The Dinner will be a great opportunity for you to meet and greet all of our honored guests. Should you have any questions, or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at the Dinner office at (202) 337-4515. I look forward to speaking with you. Sincerely yours, Jennifer K.
