David Burton welcomed those in attendance, giving special recognition to International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge and other IOC members, as well as Mitt Romney, president of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. Also present were Utah Gov. Michael O. Leavitt and other government and civic leaders.
