Sen Clair Engle of California rejects placing customs inspection and processing facilities in the Civic Center building proposed for downtown Los Angeles. He argues the 22 mile inland location is impractical, noting major seaports keep customs near waterfronts. He would accept only administrative functions in the Civic Center and previously opposed funding bonds unless the customs house sits on the waterfront.
