JAKARTA (JP): The National Sports Council's (KONI) 2006 Asian
Games bid taskforce members met for the first time on Tuesday to
arrange the bidding proposal.

KONI's spokesman Ahmed Solihin told reporters after the
meeting the team members were scheduled to submit the proposals
to President B.J. Habibie by April 30. Habibie is expected to
approve KONI's proposal to host the quadrennial event in Jakarta.

"We hope the President can issue a presidential decree to be
used as a starting point for the state minister of youth affairs
and sports, KONI and Jakarta authorities to work this plan out,"
he said.

Ahmed also said the taskforce had arranged brochures to be
distributed to foreign countries to gain their support. He said
the brochures would also be displayed during the Olympic
Committee of Asia (OCA) general assembly in Kuwait in November.
