Nagano mayor meets the press

Nagano Mayor Tasuku Tsukada talks to reporters at his office in Nagano on Jan. 14. Tsukada, who had repeatedly denied his city had employed an agency in its campaign to host the 1998 Winter Olympics, admitted that Nagano paid some 40 million yen to a Swiss-based agency. But he rejected allegations that his bid committee sought to have the agency lobby IOC members to gather votes in an illegal manner.
