...to make an exception to the boycott for four Los Angeles Police Department officers who are scheduled to attend the Airborne Law Enforcement Assn. Conference in Tucson from July 12 to July 17. The exception was requested by Councilman Greig Smith, who cast the council's lone vote against the boycott. In his request, which was also signed by Councilman Bernard C. Parks, Smith said this year's conference will be hosted by the U.S. Border Patrol.
