Yorty admits buying Occidental Petroleum stock in 1966
Former Mayor Sam Yorty testified he bought about 3 000 Occidental Petroleum shares in 1963 or 1964, then corrected to November 10 1966, six days after a controversial land swap with the city was conceived. He said memory lapse caused earlier statements and that he did not participate in the negotiations. The government efficiency committee seeks ties to the 1969 land deal granting two prospecting sites in Pacific Palisades.
