NATIONSBANK CORP. TO PROVIDE CREDIT FOR '96 GAMES

Nationsbank Corp. announced it will provide a $300 million secured line of credit to help finance the 1996 Summer Olympics, whose officials projected a 37 percent increase in the cost of hosting the Games.

Atlanta Olympic officials told board members that expenditures would climb to almost $1.4 billion, compared to an original estimate of about $1 billion. Estimated revenues were $1.5 billion - up from an earlier projection of $1.2 billion.
