The Presidents position was the same. and his administration has been consistently and adamantly opposed to such participation. In April. the U.S. Olympic Committee made the difficult decision to boycott the summer games. Since that time. our efforts have been concentrated on broadening the boycott. I recognize that the boycott is a tremendous sacrifice to athletes of all countries who have trained for years with this goal in mind. But the people of Afghanistan are sacrificing. also. 900.000 of them have voted with their feet and are today refugees in Pakistan and Iran. They have been driven from their homes. That is a sacrifice.
