Reading Room Document

Use of Federal Employees for Olympic Security

Where the teams and delegations visiting the United States for the Olympic Games in Atlanta have been designated "official guests" of the United States by the Secretary of State pursuant to §§ 112, 1116 and 1201 of the Criminal Code, those provisions authorize federal agencies to provide their employees to assist in security operations at the Atlanta Olympics upon request of the Attorney General. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/20041/download.

May 17, 1996
