[In black and white, Avery Brundage, the President of the International Olympic Committee, stands behind a podium equipped with multiple microphones. He reads in English, from a sheet of paper in his hand.] Avery Brundage: The results of the voting, ladies and gentlemen: for Montreal, 41 votes, Moscow, 28 votes, and 1 blank vote. [The crowd in the hall starts applauding. Quickly surrounded by reporters, Jean Drapeau and his wife stand up. Without responding to reporters, the Mayor claps. He goes to the podium.] Jean Drapeau : Ladies and gentlemen, I think it only right that I come to say thank you. That I, on behalf of Canada's youth, thank all those who have shown faith in my city, my province and my country. [The McCord Stewart Museum logo appears in white on a black background.
