Transcription

[Tom Bradley] All of the arrangements that they had used in  the past and any backup or background information. I just finished a very cordial meeting with Mayor Yorty to talk about the transition between his administration and mine. We have reached agreement on everything that was discussed this morning and I think that it was a very productive meeting. We're going to be arranging for assignment of some staff, a coordination with other people to talk about the ongoing programs so that there will be no hitch between the time that he leaves and I take over. Some of the vital matters are some of the federal programs that we have: manpower training, the summer youth program, the Model Cities program, the Housing and Urban Development programs, some of which have some deadlines and some of which have some problems that have to be ironed out. And I wanted to be sure that someone assigned from my office would  have a chance to review those firsthand and to be on top of them. [Reporter] What, was he agreeable to that?

[Bradley] No I did not and I understand that some members of the press had asked if they could have an interview. He felt that this was something that I ought to do. [Reporter] Did he offer any form of congratulations officially? [Reporter] [...] anything to do with election control or the campaign? [Bradley] What? I'm sorry, there's a question here. [Reporter] You indicated there were agreement on the things discussed this morning. Does that mean there will be a meeting between you and the mayor before July 1st? [Bradley] He indicated that he'd be quite willing to meet with me or talk with me at any time between now and July the First about anything that is of concern to me. [Reporter] What is [...] discussed at your meeting in particular? [Reporter] What are some things that were not discussed this morning that are considered... [Bradley] The arrangement's in the past and he offered to make available to me...
