From: "J.A. Marques De Samaranch" <jsamaranch_ioc@hotmail.com> To: gov@gov.state.hi.us; governor@gov.state.id.us; governor@gov.state.md.us; Governor Musgrove; general.office@igov.state.ia.us; governor@mail.state.ky.us; jodee@mail.state.ne.us; governor@state.il.us; goffice@state.ma.us; Governor.JesseVentura@state.mn.us Created: 9/8/2000 4:48 AM Subject: A Personal Message Message: As you should know I am in Sydney for the 2000 Olympic games and I am disgusted that at the time when we should be emphasizing about how games bring people together, that the Australian ABC should put on such a despicable program as they did the other night on television (http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/), this was cheap knock at a organization that does nothing but look after the sport for the world, providing money to the under privileged to pursue something we all care about. Because of this I would like to set the record straight on a few points I should not be condemned for my past, it is true that I belonged to Fascist party during General Franco splendid Presidency of Spain, but we both shared an ideal of health through sports, along with many other governments at the time. http://www.ajennings.8m.com/olympic_fascist.htm Yes I gave friends of mine Gold Olympic Orders, Todor Zhivkov, President Karimov and Sabirzhan Ruziyev, all because of their tireless support of the IOC. As I said in the HBO Real Sport interview I also admired Nicolae Ceausescu, if it were not for the lies put about by others I both Senior Ceausescu and Franco Gold Orders as well. Ray Jones only deserved a silver order and should be satisfied with that, people who complain are not true Olympians! http://www.ajennings.8m.com/olympic_scandal.htm But on a sadder not boxing will be withdrawn from the 2004 Olympics, this is due to an unacceptable rise in corruption and fight fixing http://www.smh.com.au/olympics/news/20000715/A8049-2000Jul14.html It is not true that the FBI has a warrant out for the detainment of my friend Gafur Rakhimov, he assures me it is a mistake and that all charges have been dropped. http://www.ajennings.8m.com/photos.htm It is not true that I took part in the death of the Spanish communist Salvador Puig Antich , I had no connection with him at all This is supposed to be my last term as the President of the International Olympic Committee, There is a rumor that I will be called upon to stay after 2001. As honored as I am I should not accept it, but if the other rumor that I will be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize is true, it would be fitting for a sitting President to receive the Prize, and I would be truly honored and will accept. Lastly I wish to apologize to the American people about the way I behaved at the congressional meeting in December 1999, I chose to speak in Spanish (even though I am fluent in English) to deflect any criticism at the IOC because it would have deflected from an important moment in the IOC's history, I am sorry, so please keep paying the dollars I will look forward to answering any questions these statements may have raised at the first press conference I attend during the Sydney Games His Excellency Juan Antonio Marques De Samaranch Please forward this memo to all my friends listed below President president@whitehouse.gov FBI newyork@fbi.gov.
