【 摘 要 】

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Since 1980, the Winter and Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games hosted in the United States have increased in size and magnitude, as have the total direct costs to plan and stage them. The reported direct costs to plan and stage the games discussed in this report ranged from $363 million to more than $2.4 billion. Although the total dollar amount of federal funding and support has increased, the total federal share of the reported total direct costs to plan and stage the games has decreased. Since 1980, the amount of funding and support provided by state and local governments has increased.Generally, federal funding and support for the total direct costs of each of these games was either specifically designated by Congress or approved by the federal agencies."
