A No. I wou:d to see some information.
Q I just want to show you a document. You
can just look at it. We don't have to identify it, but
do any of the names (In refresh your memory as to
who the groups were that you wanted to join together?
A Right. this was much later in the

Q Wel', were any of the members there on that
sheet of paper, doestha-::: refresh your recollection as
..L to who the init groups were?
A No. No.
Q All ricrht. Thanks.
Other the fact that these groups were
all black, was there any other reason that you wanted
them to get together:
MS. HT,3R:JOKE: Objection. He didn't say
that the groups were all black. He said these groups
had black rt ipation, I believe.
THE WrrI'NESS: Black princ ls.
Q [Bv Mr. Lewellyn] Other than the fact
that the groups all black principals, a-I-s, was
there any other reasons that you wanted them to get

Q
In other words, these peop already had
their group together, ane they didn't want to form a
new group; is that what you're saying?
A I know if it wasn't something they
didn't want to do. It was just something that could not
be done.
Q Was that something that the Galloways
to you?
I'IS .nCLBROCKE: Was what?
No . That's my observation of
the process.
Q [By Mr. Le\vellynJ How many meetings did you
have wi th groups to try to get them to come
A I don't know how many meetings there were.
I think I may have been involved in one or two of those
kinds of meetings, but the meetings were going on.
Q Was there anybody else from your of ce who
was involved in these meetings?
A I may have had a staff person .
Q Do you remember who that was?
A And if that staff person was there, it would
have been Channing Johnson at that time.

MR. After the one we just
discussed where he to get those people together.
THE T was a part of a group trying
to get those groups together. I did not do it on my own.
I was not the initiator that.
Q [By Mr. Lewellyn] who was the initiator
of that?
A I don't recall. It cou have been one of the
other council mernberE. It could have been someone out
of the mayor's office, attempting to pull this grouping
of people with an interest in South Central cable together,
a group of people had African-American principals in
their organizatiorcs
Q Was there any investigation at that time
into the financial of the people who were
applying for that in the South Central area?
. ?
A InVE:sti ]_on.
Q I use the term broadly.
If you look into
A Not: that [ did. If anything was done, I
would assume it was by City staff.

Q Okay. Did you personally or anybody on your
staff investigate whether any of the applicants had any of
the technical ability to operate a cable system at that
time?
A I don't recall.
QrJas that ::;omething that Mr. Cunningham,
Mr. Lindsey or you ever discussed, whether any of these
groups perhaps had an edge over another group, either in
terms of their financial capabilities or in terms of their
technical
I don't recall; but given the ct that
the C was in the proceEs of gearing up for cable, there
weren't many people OJt there with expertise. I mean,
there were som(? peop:l2 \ihc were in the field, and there
were a lot of other ople who were arguing themselves
to participate in the franchising; however, it,was going
to be done in the Cit; of Los Angeles. So I recall these
people were as compet3nt as anybody else who was out there.
Q At the time of these meetings, I take it
the City had actually opened up the South Central area
for bidding for is that right?

Galloways and these other unidentified black principals
worked together you.
A Yes. process had begun, because they
had been identified. There was a process that had been
identified by the City as the way to go for the franchise.
There's a gap of time between that first
meeting that I had with the Galloways, when there was
no process -- It was just, "Cable is coming to Los Angeles,
and here are some people v1ho are interested in it" -- and
the subsequent meeting that we're talking about now,
where you had people that had come together with their
own groups. They had cerne forward to participate in the
City process, and the process was underway.
Q Okay. And about what year was that?
MS. HO:::',BECOICE: What year was what?
Q [By Mr. Lewellyn] The process you were just
talking about where the people were filing the initial
applications.
A Well, that process was designated,
as you earlier, an Area K for South Central
Los Angeles, whatever period that was, it was
subsequent to that and the beginning of the
RFP process in getting things out to the public, people
turning in their responses to those RFPs.

get the folks t8gether, which was the aspiration, a wish
among the electet officials, that we could have an
African-American firm to get the franchise, out of a
sense of just wanting that to ha?pen someplace in the City
of Los Angeles. If it was to happen in the City of
Los Angeles, it was m8st probable that it would happen
in the South Central area. It would be the only place
where the whole geal of affirmative action, equal opport'lmity
could really be exercised.
Q Okay. Did you have personal discussions
with the mayor abeut these aspirations which you just
referred to?
A With my colleagues .
Q is it that it was most like to happen
your district as opposed to another?
A When looked at the demographics at the
time from other parts of the City, I just don't think that
it would have been possible in terms of kinds of
community support necessary to support a franchise.
Given other concerns that at least Cunningham
and nd had about the capacity of the fellows to put
together their )ackages, I don't know if they would have
gotten the same kind of supportive consideration anyplace
else in town.

it was your opi on that they had the financial ability
to make this thing work.

tried to find some people of 5 cific standing who were
open to the process of minori partic ation and who
were willing to make resources available.

for proposals did not have the financial capability to
operate a cable system in South Central Los Angeles?
A I don't
Q Do you kno,," whether this group that was
awarded the franchise had the technical ability to operate
a cable system?
A I assume so.
Q You don't recall any presentations regarding
the group that was initially awarded the franchise?
A I remember the presentations. At that
I was looking t8 staff for guidance, because
the cons rations were technical.

the rule is of the City. There was that minimum time that
he was not associated with my off e or involved in anything
that my office did.

A Rigr"t. So v.rhen he left, it stopped.

he shouldn't be involved with cable television for a period
of two s following hiE termination of his position
your office?
MS. HOLBROOYE: That wasn't his testimony.
It sounds like your questi.on is trying to incorporate and

Q [By Mr. Lewellyn] I don't want to a you
questions out of the blue unless I want to know what you

but it is much easier for me to ask you if you know about
certain things. If you know things, I'll ask you about
it. If you don't, I won't ask you about them.

Now, ttere was a second request for proposal
that you mentioned.
What was tte purpose for having an additional
request for proposal?
A The first orocess was inconclusive.
Q Okay. do you mean by that?
A The City cLose to just stop the process and
start again.
Q Why did do that?
A I guess you look at the consideration
of the council, it did not get what it really wanted.
We thought that we be able to go through an RFP
prooess and com!3 up wi some recommendations and have
something to work out, and the issue was resolved by
nondecision, going back out to the marketplace.
Q O:{ay. What was it about the rst request
for proposals that the City Council was dissatisfied
with?
A I guess the:najority mer.:lbers were not willing
to make a decision one way or ancther; and, from time to
time, when there's eight votes for something, a majority
vote, we'll begin the proc ss again.

Q Was that that you the unanimity was
required for the group to get a franchise?
A No I not. at all. I'm just talking about
aspiration. There's an aspiration in the African-American
community that. has to do with cOlTh'11unity uni especial I
around economic themes, espe ally where franchises or
contracts or like that are at stake.
Q Why is _hat? Why is it important that this
unanimity among black businessmen
A \'Ve11, Cl.3 a matter of just ral princ le,
that's part of thE', warp ar,d woof of political representation
in inner-ci predomir.antly black communities, is the
aspiration of people coming together, the best that we have
in terms of skill and expertise and financial resource
taking advantage of public policy opportunities for
affirmative action, minority business .
Q Did Mr. Johnson at any time provide you with
the names of any of these people he was seeking financial
support from?
A
He mentioned that in conversations.
I don't
remember all of
.
He had a particular strategy
of trying to put together his money.
Q Okay.
At some point, did you learn that
he had made some type of contact with Kaufman & Broad
to get them involved?

Q Anj what was the basis of that assumption?
A That there had been the discussion about
the aspiration that black principals be involved in the
organiz on to 3et the South Central franchise. There
had been the around the first proposal and the
fact that there was no council action on that. It was
going to go back out again.
I to ld you be fore, as I recall/the
first issue of Kaufman & Broad -- I don't remember who
specifically told ::ne about Broad's interest in part ipating
in that as a rrajority organization that had the
financial resources and some know-how, being willing to
corne together with black principals to do something in
the South Central area -- you know, that didn't come out
of Channing Johnson's putting together the Kaufman & Broad
piece. As I understand , Channing Johnson was attempting
to put together a group to compete for the franchise.
[Discussion held off the record.]
Q [By Mr. Lewellyn] Again, I'm referring to
that period of after the first request for proposals
fell apart and the time ttat the second request for
proposals was initiated.
Had you had any mee ngs with Kaufman & Broad
representatives or Mr. Bread himself pertaining to the

sense for Barbara Fou e as to how was going about
collecting of IE: for cons ideratior. 1 I said 1
"From my point. of viel,,', that is fine. That is sufficient."
It was to me that was
going to be put together. I've expressed to you my
preference that there be an African-American majori
organization. I've expressed to you that my preferences
aren't necessarily what happens, the fact that the
majori of the cOJncil has to vote for it, and that
was it. It seems as uhouSh there was going to be a deal.
Q Was Barbara Fouche present at either of
these mee ngs that you had with the Kaufman & Broad
personnel?
A I Can't recall if Barbara was at any of
the meetings.
Q DiC she refort to you on her own in terms
of her progress terms cf contacting local investors?
A She d contact me regarding local

Q What did she tell you she had done?
A selectir.g names, if I had any

When in the course of Iluman events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected themv'Jith ar.other, and to assume among
the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature
and of nature's God entItle them, a dm:ent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they should tne causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain u'l3Iie'nabie rights, that aMong th8se are life.
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; tllat to secure these rights, governments are
instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of ttle governed;
that whenever any form of becomE's destructive of these ends, it is the
right Of the people to alter or to abclish t, a!'ld to institute new government, laying
its foundation on such pri'lcip1es, and Jrganizing its powers in such form. as to
them shall seem most likely to effect theH safety and happiness. 'Prudence, indeed,
will dictate that governments long estaJlishea should not be changed forlight and
transient causes; and acccrdingiy all eoer;ence has shown that mankind are more
disposed to suffer, wtli Ie evils sufferClD'e than to right themselves by abol ishing
the forms to which thE3y are accustomed. But 'vvhen a long train of abuses and usurp
ations, pursuing invariably the san'e object, evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute despotism, it is their righ1. it is duty, to throw off such government,
and to provide new ,guards for thl:;ir futurE! security. Such has been the patient
sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them
to alter their former of ....
We, therefore, the representatives of United States of America, in general
congress assembled, appealing to the Judge of the World for the rectitude
of our intentions, do, in the namE' and by authority of the good people of these
colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that ttlese United Colonies are, and of right
ought to be, free and indElpenden': ... and that as free and independent
States, they have full pownr to levy war. conclude peace, and do all other acts and
things which independent States may of do. And for the support of this
Declaration, with firrn relia.nce on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually
pledg3 to each othm our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor....
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish
justiCE3, insure domestic tranquillity, provide lor the common defense, promote the
general welfare, and the of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do
o:dair and establisti this Consti':ution for the United States of America.
