PRESS IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Following is the text of a letter written to Secretary of
State, Dean Rusk from William P. Clark, Jr., Cabinet Secretary:
Since Governor Reagan's endorsement of the Chile-California
Program in December, 1966, the State of California has been pre-
pared to perform its agreement with AID. However, after numerous
meetings in Washington and in Santiago, we must conclude that the
Department of State does not wish to continue its participation in
the Chile-California Program. This is evidenced by your inaction
and rejection of California's proposals, in spite of the Chilean
Administration's acceptance thereof.
California has been prepared to proceed in a non-partisan
manner consistent with the concept expressed by President Kennedy
at the program's inception. California's expertise in agricultural
production and water development has been pledged to the needs and
desires of Chile; our new Director has stood prepared to leave for
Santiago. However, the indecision of your office relative to the
proposed budget, the unwarranted restrictions upon travel by California
employees, the belated rejection of the new Director, and, finally,
the bureaucratic obstacles created by the Department of State, makes
the program meaningless. Accordingly, the State of California must
proceed without further federal participation or assistance in the
Chile-California Program. This is disappointing; the administrations
of both Chile and California have prepared themselves for an energetic
continuation of the program.
Chile and California have enjoyed commercial, social, and mutual
aid relations since early in the 19th Century. Governor Reagan
wishes to reassure our friends in Chile that our historic ties, both
governmental and private, such as the sister-city programs, Farm
Bureau student exchange, and tourism will continue. In addition, the
Governor has requested a meeting in October, under the direction of
the State Department of Agriculture, to chart the future course of
the Chile-California Program in the absence of federal assistance.
- 1 -
It is our hope that the original expectations of the Chile-
California Program might be realized through the joint efforts of
Chilean and Californian agriculture, industry, and government.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan today urged passage of SB 9, the Burns-
Bagley Act, which modifies the Rumford Housing Act.
In a statement the Governor said,
"It is regrettable that such an important issue as this has
been delayed until the final days of the Legislative session. I would
like to point out that Assemblyman Bagley introduced a bill to amend
the Rumford Act on the first working day of the current session and
that the views of California citizens are well-known concerning the
Rumford Act.
"To do nothing on this subject would leave the Rumford Act on
the law books of California--an action which is obviously contrary to
the wishes of the electorate which voted overwhelmingly in 1964 to
repeal the present law.
"Even though the courts have ruled that Proposition 14 was un-
constitutional, it is clear that the citizens of California disagree
with that opinion.
"The people believe, as I do, that the Rumford Act must be
changed. The Burns-Bagley act now before the State Senate will
correct some of the objections the citizens of this state have to it.
"It is not a perfect solution but it is a step in the right
direction. Senate concurrence will provide an immediate solution to
some of the problems created by enactment of the Rumford Act several
years ago.
"It will protect the rights of California's homeowners and at
the same time will make it clear that Californians do not believe in
or condone bigotry or discrimination.
"I want to emphasize that the Burns-Bagley Act will exempt
single-family residences and rental units of four or less from the
provisions of the Rumford Act. It covers those who are engaged in
the business of providing homes but at the same time exempts those
apartment owners who live in their own partment units of four or less
"These provisions will allow homeowners and the smaller property
owners to sell or rent their own property as they see fit."
"The Burns-Bagley Act corrects a major flaw in the existing law
by requiring a showing that discrimination must be intentional.
"Another major revision will permit a case to be heard in court
following a finding of probable cause by the Commission, Costs up to
$500 may be assessed against a complaintant in the case of 'bed faith'
and the property owner may recover fees for attorneys and court costs
in such cases.
"In conclusion, I again urge the Senate to concur in the bill as
passed in the Assembly. In this way, and by working together, we in
celifornia begin solving a problem that affects the rights of all

devote more effort to his customary duties.
The bill also authorizes the board of super-
visors to impose a 2 percent fee to defray the

in the same manner as taking or possessing
Pacific halibut is prohibited by federal law
or by regulations adopted by the International
Pacific Halibut Commission.
AB 1614 - Chapter 997
Requires establishment of a property tax
Fong
reduction fund, and requires county boards of
supervisors to place into the fund new rev-
enues from sources other than property
taxation which are hereinafter specifically
earmarked for this fund by the Legislature.
The bill also provides that a county may use
funds in the property tax reduction fund to
reduce property tax rate in year in which
moneys are deposited in the fund.
AB 1646 - Chapter 998
Provides that counties and other agencies
Chappie
such as public districts and private utili-
ties may apportion between them the costs of

AB 1671 - Chapter 999
Permits the California Highway Commission to

delegate, upon conditions deemed appropriate,
to the Department of Public Works any minist-
erial or administrative power, duty, respon-
sibility, or function of the Commission,
including the authority over the select
highway systems.
AB 1810 - Chapter 1000
Substitutes the Dapartment of Public Works

the insured within the state unless a specific
provision of the Insurance Code otherwise pre-
scribes or permits.
- 4 -
AB 1908 - Chapter 1003
Provides that deficiency judgments shall not
Miller
be ordered where the prohibition against
deficiency judgments in the Code of Civil
Procedure, relating to purchase money mort-
gages and trust deeds, or to property sold
under power of sale contained in mortgages or
deeds of trust, is applicable.
AB 1958 - Chapter 1004
Amends the Land Conservation Act to broaden
Dunlap

system now designated in the Act.
AB 1972 - Chapter 1005
Provides that whenever a state agency is
McGee
abolished or ceases to function, control and
possession of assets, shall vest in Depart-
ment of General Services, unless otherwise

Sacramento--Statement by Governor Ronald Reagan
"I have today vetoed SB No. 539, the so-called ARCOSS bill,
which would have provided retirement benefits for out of state
service for teachers who finish their teaching careers in California.
"I am sorry to have had to veto this bill because I recognize
that many of these teachers get no retirement credit for their out
of state teaching time and, as a result, are forced to live on
retirement income that is less than the income received by teachers
who spend their entire careers in California.
"During the campaign I expressed sympathy for their plight
and I promised to see what could be done. And I am still hopeful
that we can find a way to eventually remedy this situation.
"But SB No. 539 is not the way. Our best experts tell us that
this will cost the state in the foreseeable future around $800
million dollars. That kind of money is not available.
"Those legislators in both houses who voted for the ARCOSS bill
approved a bill calling for increased spending, but they did not
provide the money or even tell us where we could get it.
"I would urge those who introduced the bill and who voted for
it to get together and work out a responsible bill and find a reason-
able way to finance it.
"When they do that I will be glad to reconsider Moday's action.
"Until they do that, the people of California cannot be asked
to take on the additional financial burden the ARCOSS bill would
demand, This is especially true in light of the facts that they
are already being asked to shoulder the heaviest tax load in the
Nation and are also being faced with a 10% increase in their
Federal income taxes."

"If it had been possible to vote on the substance of the bill,
I am sure the senate would have passed it in response to what we
know to be the will of the people.
"It is clear from the vote on proposition 14 that Californian's

There is still time to take that step."

support of National Water Week, August 13 - 19, 1967.
"Keeping California's water supplies a step ahead of its needs
during an era of statewide population explosion is a task which keeps
our skilled engineers, planners and administrators in that field
constantly alert.
"We are fortunate to have a great deal of water within our
borders -- enough, in fact, to fill our foreseeable requirements
through the year 2020. And we are accomplishing more than any other
state in the field of water transportation.
"The vast State Water Project, now at the halfway point, will be
the means of taking surplus water from the north as far as densely
populated Southern California -- water to be used for domestic,
industrial and irrigation purposes within a few short years.
"We are waging a constant battle to protect our watersheds from
fire. None too soon, we are meeting the grim challenge of pollution
of our rivers, lakes and bays.
"Because Californians should be aware of the importance of
making the most of our water resources, we find it proper to join
the American Waterworks Association in commorating National Water
Week, August 13 - 19, 1967. 11

Sacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan announced today that savings of
approximately $52 million realized in the departments of the Trans-
portation Agency will allow the advancement of 13 major highway
construction projects in the 1967-68 fiscal year.
"Secretary of Business and Transportation Gordon C. Luce has
advised me that departmental personnel and operating economies, com-
bined with competitive low bids on many construction projects and an
inability to spend in various phases of all departmental operations,
have created these massive savings," Governor Reagan said.
I want to congratulate the many state employees whose fine
cooperation has made these major economies possible."
The savings occurred in the Departments of Public Works, Motor
Vechicles and California Highway Patrol.
A breakdown of the savings shows $16 million from 1966-67 low
bids; $15 million from additional revenue in operating expense
savings in the Departments of Motor Vehicles and California Highway
Patrol; $6.15 million from refinanced projects in District 10; and
$15 million in 1966-67 personnel and operating expense savings in the
Department of Public Works. Also it is anticipated that $15 million
to $20 million can be added to the Highway Fund in 1967-68 because of
a lower required cash cushion for expenditures in the California
Highway Patrol and Department of Motor Vehicles departmental fund.
Gasoline taxes make up the Transportation Agency Funds and
economies realized are then used for right of way and highway con-
struction purposes.
This is great news for California motorists and is strong evidence
of the success of the Governor's program for our departments," Luce
said.
"Advancing these highway projects will add more jobs for
More
Californians, give contractors more business at a needed time and
certainly speed up our highway safety program," said Luce.
Projects to be advanced in 1967-68 are:

FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS
Sacramentc--Gov. Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed
a bill which for the first time in California history will institute
an orderly procedure for making an inventory of all tax-exempt land
owned by federal, state and local governments in the state.
"This measure will fill a vital need by determining exactly what
governmental agency owns land and where. It follows a pledge I made
during my campaign to call for an inventory of all publicly-owned
land," the Governor said.
Gov. Reagan noted that of the 100 million acres of land in
California, more than 49 million acres are presently owned by govern-
ment.
"Any further purchases or condemnations of private land can now
be questioned because we will have the facts available as to what
already is owned," he said.
"This inventory will help us determine if land already in public
ownership can be used for a particular program and if exchanges
between various governmental agencies can eliminate the need for
further purchases," the Governor added.
The bill, SB 1523, authored by Sen. Robert J. Lagomarsino (R-
Ventura), was endorsed by the Administration and by the California
State Chamber of Commerce, the California Farm Bureau Federation,
the California Forest Protective Assn., the California Cattlemen's
Assn., the County Supervisors Assn. and other groups concerned with
the growing land acquisition programs of government.
Because of the huge acreage of publicly-owned land in California,
Gov. Reagan said, it is "time tc intensify efforts to restcre proper-
ties surplus to the needs of government to the local property tax
rolls. This law will help us do that."
In addition, the central inventory will help in meeting future
outdoor recreational needs because some unused government lands iden-
tified in the inventory may be developed for public recreation purposes
without expense for land acquisition, the Governor said.
The new law requires the State Lands Division to maintain
records of all publicly-owned lands in California and publish a
summary report on lands in each county every two years.

HEALTH AND WELFARE AGENCY
For immediate release
Sacramento, California
Contact: Spencer Williams
August 16, 1967
Steps aimed at eliminating improper use of health
services within the state's Medi-cal program while at the same
time adjusting non-essential spending were announced today by
Spencer Williams. Williams said lack of funds means curtailment
and elimination of some services.
Adjustments in spending are required as a result of
previously uncontrolled spending and limits on the amount of money
that can legally be spent during this fiscal year. These limits
were confirmed by the Legislature during the recent session.
The $600 million program announced by Williams,
Administrator of the Health and Welfare Agency, provides for
physicians' services, hospitalization, laboratory and x-ray fees,
life-maintaining drugs, essential ambulance service, home health
care, emergency dentistry, and a $10 million emergency fund to
pay for other vital services in special cases.
"This adjusted program will provide the most essential
services without removing a single person from eligibility rolls,"
Williams said. "We are determined to provide good medical care
for those who need it."
"Adjustments in providing some services are absolutely
necessary under the law," Williams said, adding:
"As the deficit is eliminated and savings accrue,
services can be increased to the extent possible. We at the same
time must be fair to the taxpayer who pays for these services,"
he said.
Program revisions apply only to the Medi-Cal program.
They do not affect the Medicare program.
The California Medical Association and the California
Hospital Association have pledged their cooperation in implementing
the adjusted program. Revisions were based on the advice of the
Health Review and Program Council, which, under the law, advises
the Administrator in the conduct of the Medi-Cal program.

-2-
Until revisions were made, the program was threatened
with a deficit of approximately $210 million, $130 million of
which was run up in the first 16 months of operation. Williams
started action to bring the program back into fiscal balance as
soon as preliminary year-end figures in mid-July disclosed the
overspending.
The Legislature, on August 6, imposed a firm prohibition
against spending more than the budgeted amount.
At the previous rate, Medi-Cal would have cost $810 million
this fiscal year. But, there is only $600 million available from
the Legislature and other sources to pay the bills.
The prospective $210 million deficit was partially reduced
without any effect on patient care by legislative passage of an
Administration-sponsored technical accounting measure and a
modification of federal nursing home requirements.
Other major steps announced by Williams included:
A rollback on physicians' fees to January levels while
still preserving the concept of "usual and customary fees."
Cooperative controls with the medical profession to pre-
vent Medi-Cal payment to physicians whose pattern of practice is
found to be beyond the norms of accepted community standards.
Review of nursing home admissions to eliminate unnecessary
admissions.
Restricting surgery to that necessary for treatment of
injuries and life-threatening conditions.
Imposition of an 8-day limit on Medi-Cal-financed stays
in non-county hospitals. If longer treatment is needed, patients
may be transferred to a county hospital, nursing home or to a home
care program.
Medi-Cal will continue to pay life-maintaining prescrip-
tions. Payments would continue for insulin and other such drugs
for self-medication. No restrictions are planned on drugs admin-
istered by physicians or at a hospital.

Restriction of dental care to emergencies.

Statement by Governor Reagan on the McCone
445-4571
8.21.67
Commission's Report of Actions to implement
the recommendations in the commission report:
"John McCone, the chairman of the Governor's Commission on the
Los Angeles Riots, has presented to me the staff report on actions
taken to implement the recommendations in the commission's original
report.
"Mr. McCone will present much of the material from this report
today in Washington to the President's Advisory Commission on Civil
Disorders and before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"Like Mr. McCone, I am heartened by the progress that has been
made in many areas and by the proof furnished in this report that
private enterprise--the independent sector--can put people to work.
At the same time I am disturbed by Mr. McCone's assertion that 'the
most serious and immediate problem facing the Negro
is the lack of
employment.'
"It is obvious from the report that the lack of jobs is the
primary problem facing our Negro minority and that the availability
of jobs can solve one of our most pressing urban problems.
"Even more disturbing is Mr. McCone's disclosure that there is
almost no coordination of county, state and federal job training
programs.
"Mr. McCone, as I do, feels there should be a job training
program coordinator in each metropolitan area to prevent overlap and
duplication. This could probably best be accomplished by private
industry, but in any event it is not a task for the federal government.
"Another major problem area is welfare. Welfare costs continue
to rise precipitously. Mr. McCone tells me that the cost of aid to
families with dependent children has increased by more than 50 percent
in two years with 'no significant increase in the amount of money paid
to the recipients.' This means that the number of persons receiving wel-
fare under this program has increased by almost 50 percent in that
period.
"It is obvious that something must be done about this situation.
This may call for a complete restructuring of our welfare programs and
their administration.
-1-
"I expect to make a study of welfare problems a major part
of this Administration's program. I am convinced that the answer to
the problem is not the continuous addition of new layers of adminis-
tration on top of old layers.
"I know I have touched just briefly on Mr. McCone's complete
report, copies of which will be available as soon as they can be
furnished by the printers, probably on Thursday.
"I am most grateful to Mr. McCone for the two years of hard
work he has put in without compensation. His studies should be
helpful not only to Los Angeles but to every urban area in the
United States.
"At Mr. McCone's request, I am now dissolving his commission.
He feels its work is done and that the job now is to implement the
recommendations the Commission has made and to correct the problems
it has pointed out.
"In line with his recommendations to me, I expect shortly to
name a statewide advisory committee that will work in the areas
detailed in the commission's report."

offices as soon as they are received from the printer, probably

Sacramento--Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that quick
action has been taken to permit the use of state-owned Camp San Luis
Obispo for several hundred disadvantaged teen-agers from the Hunters
Point area of San Francisco.
The governor, working in conjunction with Lt. Gov. Robert Finch
and State Adjutant General Glenn Ames, made the facilities available
within hours after receiving a request from the Greater San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber President Cyril Magnin contacted state officials at
mid-morning Friday requesting use of the state-owned camp for the
weekend use of several hundred teen-age boys.
Gov. Reagan instructed Finch and General Ames to cut through
red tape to make the facilities available as quickly as possible.
As a result, the youths, transported from the San Francisco
area by privately-donated transportation, will begin arriving Friday
evening for a two-day stay at the scenic camp.
Lt. Gov. Finch, who co-ordinated the state activities, said use
of the camp will give disadvantaged youngsters an opportunity to make
use of some of the finest beaches on California's coast at nearby
Morro Bay.
"It is a fine example of the private sector working with
government to assist those who may never have such an opportunity,"
Gov. Reagan said. "Those who helped put this project together are
to be congratulated for the way details were expedited," he said.
Gen. Ames said the Military Department will provide quarters for
the youths, as well as kitchen facilities and emergency medical aid.
"Youth for Service" will provide counselors for the youngsters
attending the weekend outing.
Camp San Luis Obispo is used by the National Guard for training
purposes.

SACRAMENTO-Agreement on the sale of State Water Project power
generated at Oroville to three private electric utility companies has
been reached, William R. Gianelli, Director of the State Department of
Water Resources, announced today.
A contract will be signed, shortly, by the State Department of
Water Resources and the California Power Pool, consisting of Pacific
Gas and Electric Co., Southern California Edison Co., and San Diego
Gas and Electric Co.
Under the contract, the companies will pay the State $16,150,000
annually -- more than $800 million over the life of the contract --
for the output of Oroville and Thermalito power-plants when they go
into full operation about April 1969.
"The agreement is highly satisfactory to the State, " Gov. Ronald
Reagan said. "As a result, we will be able to issue revenue bonds in
an amount approximately $40 million higher than that estimated earlier
this year by the Water Resources Task Force in their investigation of
State Water Project financing.
"This additional bonding capacity will substantially reduce the
additional financing requirement foreseen by the Task Force.
"The contract also has the effect of reducing the cost of state
water to residents within the areas served by local contracting
agencies. It produces income to help pay capital costs which would
otherwise be paid for by the water users. "
Gianelli said the State will be able to issue revenue bonds backed
by the contract in the amount of $275-300 million to supplement other
funds available for construction of the State Water Project.
Noting that the contract has been under intensive negotiation for
almost one year, the Governor congratulated Gianelli, the staff of the
Department of Water Resources, and those of the utilities for their
work in bringing the difficult negotiations to a successful conclusion.
"This is another splendid example of effective cooperation between
the State and free enterprise, " Gov. Reagan said.
The State now has an extremely effective 'package' in the power
field, including the sale of the generation of high value 'on peak'
power from the Oroville complex and an arrangement for purchasing low-
cost 'off peak' power from the 'Suppliers' to be used for the pumping
- 1 -
of Project water to 28 agencies throughout California by means of the
California Aqueduct, the North Bay Aqueduct, the South Bay Aqueduct
and the West Branch, Gianelli said.
(The Suppliers include the three companies comprising the
California Power Pool, plus the Los Angeles Department of Water and
Power. )

Sacramento--California took a decisive step to protect and
preserve clean air today when GOV. Reagan signed the Mulford-Carrell
Act creating an Air Resources Board.
The Act was awmajor part of his legislative program.
"This Act fills a long-sought need by bringing under one roof
State agencies working on the critical problem of air pollution, and
gives the State authority over stationary pollution sources, as well
as continuing that over vehicular sources," GOV. Reagan said.
"At the same time, the Act preserves the local autonomy of
county and regional air pollution control districts by encouraging
them to enforce their own regulations. The State would intervene only
where local areas failed to show a reasonable effort to control air
pollution.
Under the new law, local districts may band together into
regional districts for a concerted attack on pollution where none
now exist.
The Governor said the Act is a first step in eventual total
control of the State's environment, including air, water and solid
waste.
"We can no longer look at these problems as separate entities,"
Gov. Reagan said. "They are tied together in their effect on our
lives, property and crops. They must be approached on that basis.
We must constantly search for ways to improve our environment con-
sistent with our technology and growth."
The Governor said he would be making appointments to the Air
Resources Board soon. The Board will consist of 14 members--nine
public and five State officials.
Under the Mulford-Carrell Act the present Motor Vehicle
Pollution Control Board, pioneer agency in the field of auto smog
reduction, will be absorbed by the Air Resources Board. Its staff
will become part of ARB.
- 1 -
Eric P. Grant, Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Board Executive Officer,
assured the Governor the transition would be orderly and that the
State's strong vehicle pollution control program would continue.
Grant said the Mulford-Carrell Act is "a tremendous advance
in getting cleaner air for California without a large investment in
new personnel."
"We can use the staff we now have to carry out most of the
responsibilities and directives in the law," he said.
Grant said he is certain the new Board will deal with estab-
lised air pollution districts on a cooperative basis.
"The State does not intend to impose dictatorial leadership
on the counties, but rather to work with them on common objectives
to reduce their sources of air contamination," Grant said.
The Governor, in signing the Act, paid special tribute to
Sen. Tom Carrell (D-San Fernando), Assemblyman Don Mulford (R-Piedmont),
and Assemblyman Frank Lanterman (R-LaCanada) for their efforts in
sponsoring the legislation and guiding it through the Legislature.
"These men worked unceasingly in the best interests of all
the people of California," Gov. Reagan said, "and deserve
commendation".
