The only two cities to bid for the 1980 Summer Olympics were Moscow and Los Angeles. The choice between them was made at the 75th [[IOC Session]] in Vienna, Austria on 23 October 1974. Los Angeles would eventually host the [[1984 Summer Olympics]].<ref name=unanapp>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=-HghAAAAIBAJ&sjid=dYkFAAAAIBAJ&pg=799%2C2368643 |work=Schenectady Gazette |location=(New York) |agency=Associated Press |last=Miller |first=Geoffrey |title=Lake Placid given unanimous approval |date=24 October 1974 |page=33}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=D'Agati, Philip A.|title=The Cold War and the 1984 Olympic Games : a Soviet-American surrogate war|date=2013|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=978-1-137-36025-0|edition=First|location=New York|oclc=851972614}}</ref><ref name=fsgmcond>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=9-dVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4uEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2129%2C5279441 |work=Eugene Register-Guard |location=(Oregon) |agency=wire reports |title=Face-saving mood give LA Games 'conditionally' |date=18 May 1978 |page=1C}}</ref>
