European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 10, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Tuesday september 10,1985 the stars and stripes Page 25 networks gird for Seoul to bid by Michael Goldsmith parts a As negotiations for the . Television contract at the 1988 Seoul olympics move into their final phase the three major networks face tense last moment bargaining with the International olympic committee Over safeguards against a possible soviet bloc Boycott. The three networks competing for the exclusive right to broadcast the games live to american audiences have two Days this week to conclude their separate negotiations at the Ioc Headquarters in Lausanne Switzer land and submit their final bids. The Ioc has set a Friday deadline for ending the drawn out bargaining. On that Day Ioc president Juan Antonio Sam ranch of Spain will announce the commit tee s decision at a news conference in Lausanne follow ing separate talks with Abc Abc and lbs. Closing bids for the . Rights Are expected to be Between $500 million and $700 million at least twice the total Abc paid for the 1984 los Angeles olympics. The payment will be the largest single contribution toward meeting the costs of the Seoul games. Ioc sources said the Money was not the Only Point at Issue. We have a responsibility to ensure the Best and widest coverage for the games and for the olympic spirit a senior Ioc official said. That is Why we arc negotiating Only with the three major networks As far As the United states is concerned. We would not give the broadcasting rights to a Cable company for example even if it offered five times what the big networks feel they can  an escape clause to cover the possibility of a major Boycott at Seoul will form a crucial part of the final Lausanne negotiations Between the Ioc and the net works. The absence of such a clause Cost Abc almost All its $92 million investment when the United states organized a Boycott of the 1980 Moscow olympics following the soviet intervention in Afghanistan. The Ioc has since accepted the principle of some Protection for the networks in Case the number of athletes and countries drops substantially below expectation but the Ioc remains the sole judge of what is  Abc could not invoke its escape clause at the 1984 los Angeles games despite the soviet bloc Boycott there because the number of participating athletes and countries exceeded All previous records. The Ioc has vigorously resisted an attempt by All the television companies negotiating to cover the Seoul games to establish a list of important countries whose absence from the games would automatically require renegotiation of the Basic contract. But an Ioc official said the Ioc might be willing to consider renegotiating the contract in Case the Home team of the National network concerned is absent. Thus North Korea would pay less if its team refuses to go to Seoul. The soviet bloc has repeatedly dropped hints of a new Boycott of the Seoul games because it has no relations with South Korea. South korean officials believe however that a communist Boycott is less Likely than they initially feared. Giants get 9 sacks rip eagles 21-0 East Rutherford .
