I'm only speculating here...but I'm wondering if the USCF should fail,
whether or not it would prevent the US from fielding its women's team in
the Olympiad in 2004. Is there any word on this? Because I'm theorizing
for the US to be "represented" in the Olympiad in 2004, there has to be
an official sponsor for the team, right? So, if the USCF should collapse
before the Olympiad next year, would the US Women's team theoretically
be barred from playing?

All FIDE cares about is whether or not USCF, bankrupt or not, has paid its FIDE
dues.

The one thing which I can assure you will go on is the USA having a
representative in FIDE. So I wouldn't worry about that.
