Records show Anderson and other .Lockheed
officials have ,met with Bradley four
times in recent years. Kantor, who said
Bradley called him to invite him to serve on
the police investigation panel, recalled o.ne
meeting last year in the mayor's office in
which Lockheed's handling of parking tickets
was discussed. ·
But he and Anderson denied that the
pending contract would influence their co':.·.-:.,.
duct on the Christopher Commission. Ander-'· .. :.
son resigned from the Lockheed board. of
directors in January but still has a consulting
contract.
. "Mr. Anderson's, and I hope my reputation,
are both beyond reproach," said Kantor. "We
would not do anything on this commission
that would be colored by that particular
contract."
Said Anderson: "The parking contract is
entirely separate [from the Christopher Commission's
work]. I don't want any taint on the
commission. I'd get off the commission if I
thought there was going to be any taint."
Bradley's office refused to answer questions
about the mayor's meetings with Lockheed
officials-nor would a spokeswoman say
what the mayor knew about the efforts of
Kantor and Anderson on behalf of LIMS.
Bradley spokeswoman Val Bunting said i~ a
statement: "This commission and each of 1ts
members will withstand the toughest scruti-
~y. The may~;:-a""~ Warren Chris­
!ppher agreed upon each member
of the commission because of their
~·' peccable credentials."
The Lockheed subsidiary's perrmance
came under fire last year
hen The Times reported that
26.6 million in parking fines had
gone uncollected in Los Angeles.
.(Lithough LIMS was the high bid-
4er for a new five-year contract
Jpt yell!, city transportation offifals
recommended the firm ...
The Times reported last month
that the FBI is examining the
parking ticket contract .. Sources
said agents asked two mid-level
LIMS employees whether any city
officials had requested or been
given money. The FBI declined to
comment, but Lockheed officials
said they have been 'assured by
federal officials that the firm is not
being investigated.
Gates on Thursday said the
Christopher and Arguelles panel
are a "good group."
It also was announced Thursday
that two new commission members
had been appointed, attorney Willie
Barnes, a former state corporations
commi~sioner, and Rich-:
ard M. Mosk, a fOrmer judge who
served as a member of the Warren
Commission.
Stepping pown from the panel
was James H. Zumberge, the r~cently
retired president of USC,
who noted another USC dean is
already serving.
