$1/ 2 M Olympic appeal launched
PA Wellington The Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) last evening launched a $500,000 appeal by the New Zealand Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association, describing the 15-month target as a “formidable task.” ; “It will only be accomplished with widespread and [generous support at business [ and private levels,” Mr Mui-[ doon said. The cost of sending the! New Zealand team to the Moscow Olympics next year! has been estimated at! $400,000, but the association!
t is seeking more than this in an effort to build up its ’ funds. ; Mr Muldoon said the Govl ernment was supporting the - cost of representation in i Moscow with a total of • $90,000 in two annual instali ments. He pointed out this Gov- • ernment assistance was 1 lower than in former years. ; “I would like to see our [team go to Moscow with the [morale of the members : I boosted high with the knowledge that all sections of the [public had responded to this [appeal to the limit,” Mr i i Muldoon said. .
