L A Port Officials Defend $8.1 Million HQ Lease
Los Angeles Harbor Department leaders, including Bernard J. Caughlin, defend leasing 15 acres for an $8.1 million headquarters to developer Keith Smith amid Times scrutiny. They claim the contract was legal and not bid, since the building would be owned by Smith, not the harbor department. Smith, a city commissioner, and other commissioners faced questions over related stock sales and loans involving Harbor Board members.
