Gov.-elect Yasuo Tanaka

NAGANO (Kyodo) Nagano Gov.-elect Yasuo Tanaka said Monday he will question officials responsible for destroying account books for this city's successful bid to host the 1998 Winter Olympics.

"I would like to immediately question those who have information" on what happened to the books, Tanaka told reporters one day after winning the gubernatorial election.

The books detailed the 1.9 billion yen, including taxpayers' money, the city spent in its bid to host the games.
