Clark, Jr., will have a major announcement at the regular 10:00 a.m. press briefing. Radio and television coverage is invited. PRESS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 8.2.67 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. #### PB/435 - 2 - OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California FOR PRESS Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 8.2.67 Governor Ronald Reagan's office announced today that Assembly Bill 579, which lowers the minimum age for amateur boxers to 17, has become law without the Governor's signature.

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 438 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck MEMO TO THE PRESS 445-4571 8.4.67 Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed the following bills: AUGUST 3, 1967 SB 389 - Chapter 967 Provides specific provisions which may be McAteer included in insurance coverage for members of educational institution teams.

"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." # # # PB/439 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 Sacramento Statement by Governor Ronald PRESS 8.5.67 "I am sorry that the senate today refused to concur with the assembly on legislation modifying the Rumford Act.

"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 are opposed to the Rumford Act. "The proposed bill would have removed many of the objections to that act.

"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.

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.

Hampshire Rd.-Moorpark Rd. 3.00 11 San Bernardino Co. Pepper Ave.-Santa Ana Riv. 5.50 = Other projects may be moved up during the year when other savings are actually realized, Luce said.

JAK/457 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 8/15/67 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.

" # # # PB/461 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. MORE -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. MORE -3- Restriction of dental care to emergencies. Elimination of miscellaneous other services such as non-emergency foot care, chiropractic and physical therapy services, transportation, psychotheraphy, eye glasses, hearing aids and special supplies. Williams said he is hopeful these adjustments will be enough to put the program on a sound fiscal basis. # # # 462 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck MEMO TO THE PRESS 445-4571 8/18/67 Sacramento--Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed the following bills: August 15, 1967 AB 272 - Chapter 1209 Provides increased state support for the Unruh public school system.

"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." # # # (Note: Copies will be available in the Los Angeles and Sacramento offices as soon as they are received from the printer, probably on Thursday.)

JAK/480 - 6 - OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck IMMEDIATE RELEASE 445-4571 8.29.67 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. ) # # # PB/481 - 2 - Attachment to Press Release No. 482 dated August 30, 1967 MULFORD-CARRELL ACT HIGHLIGHTS 1.

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.

Clark, Jr., will have a major\nannouncement at the regular 10:00 a.m. press briefing. Radio\nand television coverage is invited.\nPRESS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n8.2.67\nPRESS IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nFollowing is the text of a letter written to Secretary of\nState, Dean Rusk from William P. Clark, Jr., Cabinet Secretary:\nSince Governor Reagan's endorsement of the Chile-California\nProgram in December, 1966, the State of California has been pre-\npared to perform its agreement with AID. However, after numerous\nmeetings in Washington and in Santiago, we must conclude that the\nDepartment of State does not wish to continue its participation in\nthe Chile-California Program. This is evidenced by your inaction\nand rejection of California's proposals, in spite of the Chilean\nAdministration's acceptance thereof.\nCalifornia has been prepared to proceed in a non-partisan\nmanner consistent with the concept expressed by President Kennedy\nat the program's inception. California's expertise in agricultural\nproduction and water development has been pledged to the needs and\ndesires of Chile; our new Director has stood prepared to leave for\nSantiago. However, the indecision of your office relative to the\nproposed budget, the unwarranted restrictions upon travel by California\nemployees, the belated rejection of the new Director, and, finally,\nthe bureaucratic obstacles created by the Department of State, makes\nthe program meaningless. Accordingly, the State of California must\nproceed without further federal participation or assistance in the\nChile-California Program. This is disappointing; the administrations\nof both Chile and California have prepared themselves for an energetic\ncontinuation of the program.\nChile and California have enjoyed commercial, social, and mutual\naid relations since early in the 19th Century. Governor Reagan\nwishes to reassure our friends in Chile that our historic ties, both\ngovernmental and private, such as the sister-city programs, Farm\nBureau student exchange, and tourism will continue. In addition, the\nGovernor has requested a meeting in October, under the direction of\nthe State Department of Agriculture, to chart the future course of\nthe Chile-California Program in the absence of federal assistance.\n- 1 -\nIt is our hope that the original expectations of the Chile-\nCalifornia Program might be realized through the joint efforts of\nChilean and Californian agriculture, industry, and government.\n####\nPB/435\n- 2 -\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nFOR PRESS\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n8.2.67\nGovernor Ronald Reagan's office announced today that Assembly\nBill 579, which lowers the minimum age for amateur boxers to 17, has\nbecome law without the Governor's signature.\nThe bill, by Assemblyman Vincent Thomas, Democrat, Los Angeles,\n965\nis Chapter #964 and will take effect on the 61st day after\nAugust 2, 1967.\nGovernor Reagan had planned to sign the bill at a public ceremony\nJuly 31, but was unable to do so because of his unexpected hospital-\nization.\n#\n#\n#\nJAK/436\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNO.\nSacramento, California\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-45'1\n8.3.67\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed the following\nbills:\nAugust 1, 1967\nSB 556 - Chapter 963\nRevenue bill.\nDuekmejian\nSB 1488 - Chapter 964\nRequires a certificate from the Franchise\nCoombs\nTax Board in cases where assets having a\nvalue of $5,000 are distributable from an\nestate to one or more nonresident beneficiaries,\ninstead of requiring such a certificate if\nthe value of the assets of an estate exceeds\n$50,000 and any beneficiary is a nonresident.\nThe bill also reduces by 25 percent the sales\ntax on material and fixtures obligated pur-\nsuant to an engineering construction project\ncontract or a building construction contract\nentered into for a fixed price prior to\nAugust 1, 1967.\nAB 1269 - Chapter 966\nExtends for one year provisions of licensing\nLeroy Greene\nunder Certificated Personnel Law of 1961\ndealing with issuance of credentials pursuant\nto laws in effect before 1964 to persons who\nwere in preparation to qualify for the\ncredentials in 1963 or were then teaching in\na foreign country.\n-0-\nC-O-R-R-E-C-T-I-O-N.\nIn press release #436 dated August 2, the chapter number should\nread 965.\n#\n#\n#\nJAK/437\nSagramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n8/3/67\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan today urged passage of SB 9, the Burns-\nBagley Act, which modifies the Rumford Housing Act.\nIn a statement the Governor said,\n\"It is regrettable that such an important issue as this has\nbeen delayed until the final days of the Legislative session. I would\nlike to point out that Assemblyman Bagley introduced a bill to amend\nthe Rumford Act on the first working day of the current session and\nthat the views of California citizens are well-known concerning the\nRumford Act.\n\"To do nothing on this subject would leave the Rumford Act on\nthe law books of California--an action which is obviously contrary to\nthe wishes of the electorate which voted overwhelmingly in 1964 to\nrepeal the present law.\n\"Even though the courts have ruled that Proposition 14 was un-\nconstitutional, it is clear that the citizens of California disagree\nwith that opinion.\n\"The people believe, as I do, that the Rumford Act must be\nchanged. The Burns-Bagley act now before the State Senate will\ncorrect some of the objections the citizens of this state have to it.\n\"It is not a perfect solution but it is a step in the right\ndirection. Senate concurrence will provide an immediate solution to\nsome of the problems created by enactment of the Rumford Act several\nyears ago.\n\"It will protect the rights of California's homeowners and at\nthe same time will make it clear that Californians do not believe in\nor condone bigotry or discrimination.\n\"I want to emphasize that the Burns-Bagley Act will exempt\nsingle-family residences and rental units of four or less from the\nprovisions of the Rumford Act. It covers those who are engaged in\nthe business of providing homes but at the same time exempts those\napartment owners who live in their own partment units of four or less\n\"These provisions will allow homeowners and the smaller property\nowners to sell or rent their own property as they see fit.\"\n\"The Burns-Bagley Act corrects a major flaw in the existing law\nby requiring a showing that discrimination must be intentional.\n\"Another major revision will permit a case to be heard in court\nfollowing a finding of probable cause by the Commission, Costs up to\n$500 may be assessed against a complaintant in the case of 'bed faith'\nand the property owner may recover fees for attorneys and court costs\nin such cases.\n\"In conclusion, I again urge the Senate to concur in the bill as\npassed in the Assembly. In this way, and by working together, we in\ncelifornia begin solving a problem that affects the rights of all\n438\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\n445-4571\n8.4.67\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed the\nfollowing bills:\nAUGUST 3, 1967\nSB 389 - Chapter 967\nProvides specific provisions which may be\nMcAteer\nincluded in insurance coverage for members of\neducational institution teams.

These limits\nwere confirmed by the Legislature during the recent session.\nThe $600 million program announced by Williams,\nAdministrator of the Health and Welfare Agency, provides for\nphysicians' services, hospitalization, laboratory and x-ray fees,\nlife-maintaining drugs, essential ambulance service, home health\ncare, emergency dentistry, and a $10 million emergency fund to\npay for other vital services in special cases.\n\"This adjusted program will provide the most essential\nservices without removing a single person from eligibility rolls,\"\nWilliams said. \"We are determined to provide good medical care\nfor those who need it.\"\n\"Adjustments in providing some services are absolutely\nnecessary under the law,\" Williams said, adding:\n\"As the deficit is eliminated and savings accrue,\nservices can be increased to the extent possible. We at the same\ntime must be fair to the taxpayer who pays for these services,\"\nhe said.\nProgram revisions apply only to the Medi-Cal program.\nThey do not affect the Medicare program.\nThe California Medical Association and the California\nHospital Association have pledged their cooperation in implementing\nthe adjusted program. Revisions were based on the advice of the\nHealth Review and Program Council, which, under the law, advises\nthe Administrator in the conduct of the Medi-Cal program.\nMORE\n-2-\nUntil revisions were made, the program was threatened\nwith a deficit of approximately $210 million, $130 million of\nwhich was run up in the first 16 months of operation. Williams\nstarted action to bring the program back into fiscal balance as\nsoon as preliminary year-end figures in mid-July disclosed the\noverspending.\nThe Legislature, on August 6, imposed a firm prohibition\nagainst spending more than the budgeted amount.\nAt the previous rate, Medi-Cal would have cost $810 million\nthis fiscal year. But, there is only $600 million available from\nthe Legislature and other sources to pay the bills.\nThe prospective $210 million deficit was partially reduced\nwithout any effect on patient care by legislative passage of an\nAdministration-sponsored technical accounting measure and a\nmodification of federal nursing home requirements.\nOther major steps announced by Williams included:\nA rollback on physicians' fees to January levels while\nstill preserving the concept of \"usual and customary fees.\"\nCooperative controls with the medical profession to pre-\nvent Medi-Cal payment to physicians whose pattern of practice is\nfound to be beyond the norms of accepted community standards.\nReview of nursing home admissions to eliminate unnecessary\nadmissions.\nRestricting surgery to that necessary for treatment of\ninjuries and life-threatening conditions.\nImposition of an 8-day limit on Medi-Cal-financed stays\nin non-county hospitals. If longer treatment is needed, patients\nmay be transferred to a county hospital, nursing home or to a home\ncare program.\nMedi-Cal will continue to pay life-maintaining prescrip-\ntions. Payments would continue for insulin and other such drugs\nfor self-medication. No restrictions are planned on drugs admin-\nistered by physicians or at a hospital.\nMORE\n-3-\nRestriction of dental care to emergencies.\nElimination of miscellaneous other services such as\nnon-emergency foot care, chiropractic and physical therapy services,\ntransportation, psychotheraphy, eye glasses, hearing aids and\nspecial supplies.\nWilliams said he is hopeful these adjustments will be\nenough to put the program on a sound fiscal basis.\n# # #\n462\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\n445-4571\n8/18/67\nSacramento--Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed\nthe following bills:\nAugust 15, 1967\nAB 272 - Chapter 1209\nProvides increased state support for the\nUnruh\npublic school system.\nAugust 17, 1967\nSB 134 - Chapter 1210\nMakes it a misdemeanor for any person with\nBeilenson\nintent to defraud to operate a motor vehicle\nknowing that the odometer of such vehicle is\ndisconnected or nonfunctional.

This could probably best be accomplished by private\nindustry, but in any event it is not a task for the federal government.\n\"Another major problem area is welfare. Welfare costs continue\nto rise precipitously. Mr. McCone tells me that the cost of aid to\nfamilies with dependent children has increased by more than 50 percent\nin two years with 'no significant increase in the amount of money paid\nto the recipients.' This means that the number of persons receiving wel-\nfare under this program has increased by almost 50 percent in that\nperiod.\n\"It is obvious that something must be done about this situation.\nThis may call for a complete restructuring of our welfare programs and\ntheir administration.\n-1-\n\"I expect to make a study of welfare problems a major part\nof this Administration's program. I am convinced that the answer to\nthe problem is not the continuous addition of new layers of adminis-\ntration on top of old layers.\n\"I know I have touched just briefly on Mr. McCone's complete\nreport, copies of which will be available as soon as they can be\nfurnished by the printers, probably on Thursday.\n\"I am most grateful to Mr. McCone for the two years of hard\nwork he has put in without compensation. His studies should be\nhelpful not only to Los Angeles but to every urban area in the\nUnited States.\n\"At Mr. McCone's request, I am now dissolving his commission.\nHe feels its work is done and that the job now is to implement the\nrecommendations the Commission has made and to correct the problems\nit has pointed out.\n\"In line with his recommendations to me, I expect shortly to\nname a statewide advisory committee that will work in the areas\ndetailed in the commission's report.\"\n# # #\n(Note: Copies will be available in the Los Angeles and Sacramento\noffices as soon as they are received from the printer, probably\non Thursday.)\nPB/465\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\nIMMEDIATE PRESS\n445-4571\n8.22.67\nSacramento- - William Ross, 1600 W.

Tom Carrell (D-San Fernando), Assemblyman Don Mulford (R-Piedmont),\nand Assemblyman Frank Lanterman (R-LaCanada) for their efforts in\nsponsoring the legislation and guiding it through the Legislature.\n\"These men worked unceasingly in the best interests of all\nthe people of California,\" Gov.
