Sincerely, The Family of Fred After a hectic, sometimes intensely divided meeting; COA president Dick' Pound announced the results of a secret ballot by representatives of the 25 Olympic sports federations and 42 at large delegates. Each of the sport federations had five votes while the atlarge delegates were allowed one vote each. president of the Canadian Olympic Association I am announcing that after consultation with athletes' representing Canada's Olympic sports, the Canadian Olympic Association has voted 137-35 not to accept the invitation to the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow," Pound said. Pound said that despite the feelings many members had over the issue "it was finally agreed that the only way to resolve the matter was to? simply mark the ballots 'Go No go' However, Pound said the COA would go ahead with selection of the Olympic team in the slim hope that the Soviet Union and the United States might reach compromise oh Afghanistan before the May 24 deadline for accepting invitations to the Games. "Even though we believe that event is unlikely, we have decided to go ahead with the selection of Canada's Olympic team," he said.

Pound warned that the Olympics were "a powerful force that. is being Jeopardized by the actions of the super powers" and said that the entire future of the Olymple is threatened. Though the COA vote was lopsided, a panel of Olympic -athletes representing 19 of the nation's sports federations drafted a unanimous and bitter denunciation of the government's "inconsistent and discriminatory policy "toward amateur The athletes had attempted for two days to hammer out their own position on the boycott question but finally gave up after a deep split developed.

Sports Minister Gerald Reagan flew to Montreal from the national capital to address the COA shortly before the vote was taken. "I urged them to support the boycott and I told them that I feel and the government feels that we must upport the boycott because of the Soviet Union's naked aggression in Afghanistan," Regan said. Regan said the Games should be boycotted because they are strong propaganda tool that must be taken out of the hands of the Soviet government.

"We feel that the Canada Cup and the Moscow Games are not the same issue. We don't wish to excommunicate the Russians from playing multi-national tournaments in Canada," Regan said at a news conference. "But we feel very strongly that the boycott of the 1980 Summer Games is the way to get a message across to the Russian people.
