The rumor of shutting down Tech has been rampant for sometime, but recently 
gained credibility when "facts" were added to it.  Governor Miller has 
responded formally to these rumors through his Olympic Spokesperson, G. Hogan. 
Below is the text of the memo confirming that there is no anticipated 
shutdown.


There have been numerous inquiries about closing of Georgia Tech during the 
Olympic Games.  We contacted G.W. Hogan, Director, Office of State Olympic 
Coordination, and received a memorandum quoted below:

TO:  All State Agency Heads   (July 3, 1996)

SUBJECT:  Rumor of State Government Closure and Employee furlough During the 
Olympics

     "In recent days there has been widespread discussion that Governor 
Miller intends to order the closing of State agencies and the furlough of 
employees during the Olympic Games.

     Governor Miller asked me to advise you that he has no plans to take any 
such actions.  All agencies should continue to operate based on their 
existing plans."

G.W. Hogan
