The US Olympic Committee has been using the 2014 Winter Olympics to gauge interest in holding a future Games in America.
The board is considering a bid for the 2024 Summer Games, or the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The committee's CEO, Scott Blackmun, told The AP: "We can get some really good input, is it time for a US bid and, if so, where should it come from?
"I think people genuinely would like to see a US bid. There are some that think winter would be better than summer and some who think summer would be better than winter.
"There's a recognition that the US is an important market, and at some point in the future, the games should go back there."
The 2002 Winter Olympics were held in Salt Lake City, while the 1996 summer Games took place in Atlanta.
