Bubb, chairman, Citizens for Reagan, National Information\nCenter:\n\"Governor Ronald Reagan\nSacramento, California\n\"You were quoted in the press as saying that, if the nomination\nis locked up, you may not permit your name to be submitted to the\ndelegates of the Republican National Convention as a candidate for the\nparty's nomination for president of the United States. The nominee has\nnot been selected and will not be until August. We will have an 'open'\nconvention because your fellow Republicans know:\n\"(1) Your election as governor of our nation's largest state by\na million vote plurality demonstrated your ability to win as a campaigner\nappealing to all elements of the citizenry. Your outstanding record as\ncitizen governor of California has proven you know what it takes to get\nthe job done in our nation's most populous state.\n(2) You have set an all-time record in raising funds for the\nGOP, over $4 million in less than two years. When the party needed\nhelp, you have responded.\n\"(3) You received over 20 percent of Republican votes cast in the\nkey Nebraska and Oregon primary elections--without one word of encourage-\nhave\nment from you--a figure that could well/been doubled should you have\nchosen to campaign.\n\" (4) Reports from Reagan booster organizations affiliated with\nour organization show you are amassing great support among delegates\nand that many of the delegates supposedly committed to other candidates\nwill 'switch to Reagan' when you become a candidate at the convention.\n\" (5) You are now the only major contender for our party's\nnomination that is capable of uniting all elements of the Republican\nParty while maintaining the ability to gain sufficient support from\ndisillusioned Democrats and Independent voters to win at the polls in\nNovember.\n\"Please give the hundreds of thousands of Republicans now\nsupporting your candidacy the opportunity to keep the convention 'open'-.\nwe believe the nomination will be yours unless you turn aside our\nefforts.\nHenry A. Bubb, Chairman\nCitizens for Reagan, National\nInformation Center\"\n-1-\n#445\nFollowing is Governor Reagan's reply to Chairman Bubb:\n\"An out of context statement regarding the coming Republican\nConvention has resulted in a misunderstanding of my position. I do\nnot believe the nomination is locked up for any candidate and I do\nbelieve it will be an open convention.\n\"My name will be placed in nomination. Obviously, at that time\nI can be considered a candidate by delegates so inclined.\n\"I am well aware of and greatly honored by the activities in my\nbehalf. While it would be impossible for me to present myself as a\ncandidate prior to the convention, I have never subscribed to the\nSherman statement. Indeed, it is my belief that any citizen's\nresponse should be the direct opposite.\"\nThe telegram was received on Thursday (June 27) and Governor\nReagan's reply by telegram was sent the same day.\n# # #\n-2-\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nFOR IMMEDIA.. RELEASE\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.2.68\n446\nFollowing is the text of a telegram sent to Mayor John Lindsay\nof New York City:\n\"Mayor John Lindsay\nCity Hall\nNew York City, New York\nGovernor Reagan has requested that in light of action taken by\nyour deputy mayor in instituting a city boycott against California\ngrapes that the following information be forwarded to you.\n1. Giumarra Vineyards against whom the boycott is primarily aimed\nis one of the great majority of vineyards in California to which workers\ncan be referred by the Labor Department. Referral is not permitted by\nour state labor department because of labor disputes in the cases of\nonly seven (7) growers.\n2. The U. S. Department of Labor has listed 10 laws which it\nfeels are necessary for the protection of agricultural labor.\nCalifornia is the highest ranking state with nine of these laws in\neffect. Your own state of New York has only five.\nGovernor Reagan has asked me to repeat what he told you on the\ntelephone that he is hopeful that the action on the part of your\ndeputy mayor will not result in retaliatory legislation on the part\nof the California State Legislature which is still in session.\nN. P. Clark, Jr.\nExecutive Secretary\nGovernor's Office\nSacramento, California\"\nFollowing is the text of a telegram sent to Governor Nelson\nRockefeller of New York:\n\"Governor Nelson Rockefeller\nState Capitol\nAlbany, New York\nFollowing is a copy of a wire sent to Mayor Lindsay of New York\nfollowing the action of his deputy mayor in boycotting city purchases\nof California grapes:\n(NOTE: Lindsay wire was inserted into the wire to Governor\nRockefeller. You have wire.)\n-1-\n446\n\"Governor Reagan has asked me to inform you that he regrets such\nhasty action on the part of the City of New York without prior consulta-\ntion. He is hopeful that steps can be taken in the interests of both\nstates to insure that the boycott is not widened.\nUnfortunately false, slanderous and highly emotional statements are\nbeing made by certain unions regarding employment of agricultural labor\nin California as a means of inducing jobbers and retailers not to han-\ndle California grapes in the New York and other markets. This procedure\nmay spread to other commodities and other markets and will directly\nlimit the fruits and vegetables which may be available to the house-\nwife in these areas.\nAgricultural employers in California pay as high or higher\nagricultural wages as any agricultural employers in the United States.\nCalifornia has protective minimum wage and equal pay laws for men,\nwomen and minors. It has adequate laws to protect the health, welfare\nand housing conditions for workers. They are equal to or better than\nlaws in other states.\nI am advised that charges have been filed by California growers\nwith the National Labor Relations Board alleging that actions of the\nunions constitute an illegal secondary boycott under the National\nLabor Relations Act. They are also investigating the possibility of\nantitrust violations. In light of these facts it seems to us highly\nunwise for government entities to become involved in this boycott\naction.\nWilliam P. Clark, Jr.\nExecutive Secretary\nGovernor's Office\nSacramento, California\"\n-2-\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Ittimediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.2.68\n# 447\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today praised the Senate for passing a\nbill designed to take the appointment of judges out of partisan\npolitics.\nIn a statement, the governor said:\n\"I am extremely pleased by today's Senate action.\n\"I am especially grateful to those lawmakers who saw fit to\noverlook their own personal differences in order to give the bill\nthe votes it needed for passage. I commend them highly for their\naction, because I believe it truly reflects the will of an over-\nwhelming number of Californians who have a great stake in maintaining\nthe high quality of our judicial system during the years to come.\n\"I now urge members of the Assembly to take note of the spirit\nof this legislation and return a judgement on it based solely on\nmerit. To make a decision of such great importance based on strictly\npolitical considerations would fail to serve the best interests of\nour citizens. For, to the people of California, appointment of the\nbest possible judges to our courts is a matter of extreme and personal\nimportance.\n\"I therefore call upon the Assembly to add its full, bi-partisan\nsupport for the measure in order to assure that the people of\nCalifornia have an opportunity to express their final approval at\nthe ballot box in November.\"\n#\n#\n#\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\n445-4571\n7.3.68\nin the Governor's Office\nA photo session is scheduled for this afternoon/at 1:30 p.m. with\nGovernor Reagan involving Assemblyman Larry Townsend and Miss California.\nSharon Terrill.

However,\" the governor's letter said, \"such a\nroad over the dam is entirely inadequate for the protection of the\nwatershed around the reservoir against fire.\"\nHe noted that failure to build both bridges would virtually\neliminate the existing through-highway along State Route 49 between\nAuburn and Cool and severely limit quick access into the watershed\narea behind the dam from Division of Forestry fire stations in the\nadjacent Mother Lode country.\n\"Our State Division of Forestry presently has the capability to\nprotect the watershed. To maintain this capability after the dam is\ncompleted, it will be necessary to develop a route involving con-\nstruction of two bridges estimated to cost $20 million in excess of\nthe dam route, \" the governor's letter said.\n\"If the Bureau of Reclamation fails to include this cost as\npart of the project, it would be incumbent upon California to expend\napproximately $20 million from either the California Highway User\nFund or the State General Fund to insure protection of the watershed\nfrom fire. We do not feel that state funds should be used to mitigate\nproblems created by the project. This is a legitimate cost of the\nproject and should be so budgeted.\"\nGovernor Reagan said the \"Bureau of Reclamation has already\nacknowledged it must build one bridge over the north fork of the\nAmerican River to the Forest Hill Divide.\" That crossing is estimated\nat $20,810,000.\nConstruction of the second bridge along Route 49--between the\n-1-\nForest Hill Divide and the Georgetown Divide would bring the total\ncost to some $40 million, the amount authorized by Congress for\ndevelopment of an adequate road system for the project, he explained.\n\"We feel that the bureau's insistence on the dam route as its\nmaximum obligation is completely inequitable and would be detrimental\nto the interests of the State of California, particularly the residents\nin Placer and El Dorado counties, and to the safety of the many\nvisitors to the reservoir recreation area.\n\"We, therefore, request that the local bureau office be\ninstructed to construct the Twin Bridges route as part of the Auburn\nDam project,\" the governor concluded.\nHe noted that the El Dorado and Placer County boards of super-\nvisors are sending similar letters to Secretary Udall.\n#\n#\n#\nEJG\n-2-\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n7.5.68\n#454\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nJuly 8, 1968\nthrough\nJuly 14, 1968\nMonday, July 8\nAfternoon\nDepart for Sacramento\nTuesday, July 9\n9:30 a.m.\nPRESS CONFERENCE\n1:45 p.m.\nPicture for Square Dance Week, Governor's Office\n2:00 p.m.\nPicture with \"Sing Out Sacramento\" group,\nGovernor's Office\nWednesday, July 10\n11:30 a.m.\nPresentation of Young Californian's Medallion for\nBravery and Service to 7 winners, Governor's Council\nRoom\n1:30 p.m.\nMeeting at Senator Hotel with minority newspaper\neditors\nThursday, July 11\n11:30 a.m.\nBrief remarks to Good Citizenship Seminar,\nGovernor's Council Room\n3:00 p.m.\nCouncil Meeting, Governor's Council Room\nFriday, July 12\nMorning\nRegents Meeting, University of California at\nBerkeley\nAfternoon\nDepart for Salt Lake City, RSCC fund-raising\nreception and keynote address to Republican\nState Convention\nEvening\nArrive Los Angeles\nSaturday, July 13\nNo public appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nSunday, July 14\nNo public appointments scheduled\nAfternoon\nReturn to Sacramento\n# # #\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n7.5.68\n#455\nRudy Castro of Los Angeles has been named as a special assistant\nReagan\nto Governor/in Southern California, the governor's office announced\ntoday.\nCastro, a 38-year old Republican, will work out of the governor's\nLos Angeles office and provide liaison with various groups in the area,\nincluding the Mexican-American and Negro communities.\nHe is a native of Los Angeles, and graduated from UCLA with a\nB.A. degree in Sociology in 1956.

In addition,\nthere is no stable, broadly-based representative advisory group in the\ncommunity.\n3--We cannot agree that youthful, hard-core and criminally oriented\nenrollees are best equipped to organize themselves for constructive\npurposes without any effective direction and control by persons of\nproven leadership, character and experience.\n4--There are insufficient contractural guarantees or commitments\nfrom the contemplated participating agencies and there is no assurance\nof participation by anyone.\n5--The committee of 16 which would administer the program is vague\nin composition, tenure, qualifications and responsibility for the program.\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.9.68\n457\nGood morning.\nTo begin our press conference, I want to give you a progress\nreport. It concerns the success of our Summer-Jobs-For-Youth campaign\nwhich is being coordinated by the State Department of Employment.\nI call it a \"progress report\" because, since last week, we have,\nindeed, made real progress in helping young people around California\nfind meaningful summer employment.\nLast week, I told you that some 10,800 young people between the\nages of 16 and 22 had found jobs as a direct result of this campaign--\ntruly a wide-ranging effort involving a heavy commitment by private\nindustry, business, labor, as well as all levels of government in the\nstate.\nI can now report that the 10,800 jobs have multiplied nearly\nfour-fold--to some 38,000. I want to emphasize that these are not\nmake-work, leaf-raking-type jobs--artificially created to consume a\ncertain number of hours of the day. They are, in fact, an integral\npart of California's summer economy.\nAnd for this reason--because they DO make a significant contri-\nbution to the well-being of the economy-they provide a built-in\nsense of purpose for the young people who hold them, many of whom are\nfrom our disadvantaged areas.\nI am pleased by the positive response our campaign has received\nfrom the independent and private sectors. Certainly, they hold the\nkey to the success of such an important effort as this.\nThe results, so far, speak for themselves. They are not only\nencouraging, but provide solid ground for optimism that many more\nthousands of young people will be placed in meaningful jobs during\nthe weeks ahead as a direct result of this program.\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.9.68\n# 458\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today praised the Senate Finance\nCommittee for recommending passage of administration-sponsored\nlegislation to reduce property taxes in California by $155 million.\nIn a statement, the governor said:\n\"I am extremely pleased that the Senate Finance Committee has\nchosen to give its overwhelming endorsement to this vital piece of\nlegislation.\n\"In fact, I believe it is one of the most important measures\nto come before the legislature this year.\n\"Today's committee action constitutes dramatic recognition of\nthis fact, and reaffirms the necessity for providing long overdue\nrelief to California's already overburdened property taxpayer.\n\"I now urge every member of the Senate to accept the recom-\nmendation of the committee and cast an affirmative vote for the\nmeasure at the earliest possible time.\n\"A positive vote by the upper house will return the bill to\nthe Assembly where I strongly urge that it receive concurrence--\nbased solely on merit, without regard to partisanship.\n\"Members of both parties in the legislature have long recog-\nnized the pressing need to provide meaningful property tax relief.\n\"This bill, then, provides us with the opportunity to meet\nthis commitment, and to take a major step forward toward easing\nthe tax burden on the California homeowner.\"\n#\n#\n#\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.9.63\n# 459\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today named Kellogg E.

Barnes\n(R-San Diego). The new legislation has had the active support of the\nDepartment of Motor Vehicles, the State Transportation and Commerce\nAgency and the Governor's Office.\n\"This legislation recognizes a very important fact of life, \"\nGovernor Reagan commented in signing AB 26.\n\"Ever since California driver's licenses with the bearer's photo-\ngraph became commonplace following their authorization in 1958, they\nhave been the most freely accepted, prima facie identification card a\nperson can carry. The California driver's license has become THE\ndocument which anyone who wishes to cash a check finds he is almost\nalways asked for. A person who can't produce a driver's license is\nat a great disadvantage.\n\"Several million Californians who, because of age or physical\ndisability, are unable to obtain a driver's license, are deprived of\nthe kind of identification they need to cash old age assistance checks,\npension checks or otherwise prove their identity.\n\"This situation will soon be corrected, thanks to Assemblyman\nBarnes' bill, and the many months of fact finding and hard work that\nwent into making this piece of legislation become a reality,\" the\ngovernor concluded.\nAssemblyman Barnes described the voluntary identification card\nconcept embodied in AB 26 as a It true California citizens' service\nprogram.\"\n\"It is,\" he commented, \"a strictly permissive (as opposed to\nmandatory) self-liquidating program. The total cost of the cards\nwill be borne by those who wish to purchase them. They will not cost\nthe taxpayers a dime.\"\nVerne Orr, director of the Department of Motor Vehicles and a\nmajor influence in developing the identification card program, des-\ncribed the procedures for obtaining a card.\n-1-\n#460\n\"An applicant,\" he pointed out, \"will pay a $3.00 fee at his\nneighborhood Department of Motor Vehicles office. He will have his\npicture taken--as for a driver's license--and will attest to his name,\nsex, age and address before a person authorized to administer oaths.\n\"The card will be good for four years and will be renewable on\nthe holder's birthday. Individuals with these cards will have to\nreport address or name changed to the Department of Motor Vehicles\nwithin ten days after the change occurs.\"\nOrr said that any person who has reached his 21st birthday will\nbe entitled to either a driver's license or an identification card,\nbut not both.\nPersons applying for identification cards will have to submit\nadequate identifying documents, such as a birth certificate, Social\nSecurity number, Selective Service card, citizenship papers, documents\nshowing a current address or whatever else, within reason, the depart-\nment may require.\nAs with driver's license data, records of persons to whom the\ncards are issued will be publicly available for verification.\nOrr pointed out that the Department of Motor Vehicles was con-\nsidered the logical agency to process and produce the cards because it\nalready has the photographic and most other necessary equipment in its\nlocal offices throughout the state.\nThe new identification card will be encased in plastic. Therefore\nthe department will arrange for laminating equipment to be installed\nby the Sacramento firm which now processes all identification photo-\ngraphs for the department. Installation of this equipment and setting\nup a new filing system will take several months.\nThe department will issue an announcement=-probably in November--\nindicating when individuals may apply for identification cards at\ntheir neighborhood department offices.\nOrr also stated that as a result of efficiencies established\nwithin the Department of Motor Vehicles under the Reagan administration\napplicants should have their identification cards in their hands\nwithin approximately two weeks from the date they applied.\n-2-\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.10.68\n#461\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has signed the\nfollowing bills:\nAB 136 - Leroy F.

IS\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.18.68\n#472\nGovernor Ronald Reagan--in a \"Creative Paper\" outlining the\nphilosophy of his administration on education--today called for \"a\ngreat commitment to excellence if education is to help create tomorrow.\"\nThe paper, third in a series of creative studies being released by\nthe administration on the major issues of our time, says:\n\"It is vital that we create and maintain the very finest of\neducational systems a system which is responsive to the times and\nrelevant to the times to come...a system which takes advantage of the\ngreat innovations of society--thus to provide a learning which is mean-\ningful, which makes every taxpayer's dollar count for progress.\"\nOther studies in the series deal with Human Relations, Law and\nOrder, Public Assistance and The Quality of Life in Today's Environment.\nand\nThe Public Assistance/Quality of Life papers will be issued during\nthe next several weeks.\nThe Education paper notes that \"much of the greatness of tomorrow\nwill come from our schools.\" But, it warns that \"the small and noisy\nclaque\" of individuals clustered around our college campuses \"are not'\nthe harbingers of tomorrow; they are throw-backs to a darker age, a dis-\nmal time of Hitlerian holocausts, savagery and inquisitions.\n\"The future will not be built by those who destroy. It will be\nbuilt by those who have not only the courage to dream big dreams but\nalso the tenacity to perform big deeds.\"\nThe paper outlines six proposals for meeting the threat posed by\ntoday's campus rebels:\n1. Isolation of hard-core rebels by remedying legitimate student\ngrievances, thus denying the rebels of temporary allies. Student-\nadministration communication should be constantly reviewed.\n2. Refusal to tolerate force on the campus by either students,\nfaculty or administration.\n3. Expulsion of those assuming the student role whose real goals\nare patently not academic.\n4. Dismissal, on professional grounds, of faculty members who\nbetray their academic calling through disruptive or violent activities\non the campus.\n5. Order and sanity must be brought to the campus by the vast\nmajority of students and faculty members who are loyal to academic goals.\nThey must assure that the rights of ordinary students and faculty are\nprotected.\n6. The public at large and government must be properly concerned\nsince the academy intself is not an island outside the law to be used\nas a staging area for insurrection. It must not be a privileged sanc-\ntuary for those who would destroy society. To help reduce trouble on\nthe campuses, priority must be given to establishing closer contact\nbetween colleges and universities and local citizens.\n-1-\n#472\nThe paper notes that Californians spend more of their tax dollars\nfor education than any other public activity--more than $2 billion dur-\ning 1968-69.\n\"It is therefore mandatory that we constantly evaluate the economic,\nsocial and political impact of that cost, and the methods of raising\nthose funds.\n\"We must do this on the basis of need, value received and taxpayer\nburden.\"\nThe study says \"Today's system is neither adequate or equitable.\n\"We must reassert priorities and revamp the financial structure\nso that adequate resources are available through an equitable and e\nefficient taxing structure.\n\"We urgently need a complete assessment and overhaul of the entire\nfinancial system of our public schools.\"\nThe paper calls for revenue measures which are:\n--\"Based on equity to property taxpayers, \"\n--\"More responsive to our defined educational objectives.\"\nOne of the measures which the study says \"deserves exploration\"\nis the establishment of a school district foundation program financed\nby an annual statewide property tax levied on all non-residential\n(commercial) property. Each school district would receive the same\namount of tax money per pupil. This would provide financial revenue\nto support basic education.\n\"Thus, all children would have the same opportunity to learn basic\neducational skills in public schools. \"\nThe paper also suggests the creation of a \"roving corps of experts\"\nin the fields of school management, budgetary financing and cost con-\ntrol systems analysis.\n\"Such a program would deal strictly with fiscal and management\ntechniques and would not in any way attempt to invade the academic prov-\nince of local school districts.\"\nThe study emphasizes that \"government cannot and should not do all\nthings for all people all the time.\" While education \"should have the\nhighest priority\" in the expenditure of state funds, the paper suggests\nthat educational budgets may be \"out of whack.\"\n\"For example, we know that during the first few years of school\nthe teaching of basic skills develops a child's matrix for future learn-\ning. Yet, the highest teacher-pupil ratios are in our elementary\nschools. 11\n-2-\n#472\nThe paper, ther )re, stresses the administ tion's commitment to\nrectify this situation-- \"to spend available dollars first where they\nwill result in the greatest benefit to the student and to society, at\nthe beginning grades of the learning experience.\"\nThe study also reaffirms the administration view that \"the rapid\nrise in costs of higher education, coupled with the state's revenue\nproblems, make it mandatory to levy a charge for tuition as a step\ntoward providing a portion of the funds required for the university and\nstate college systems.\n\"Full opportunity for higher education for all qualified students\nin our state does not exist because of the financial problems of poor\nfamilies, including some of our racial minorities.\n\"California's low income families, through taxes, pay a dispropor-\ntionate share of the cost of educating students beyond high school.\n\"A substantial number of state college and university students\ncome from families with relatively high incomes. Under the present tax\nstructure, neither these students or their families are required to con-\ntribute to the cost of their higher education in relation to their\nability to pay. 11\nThe paper outlines the basic elements of Governor Reagan's \"Equal\nEducation Plan\" which specifies that part of the funds which would be\nderived from charging tuition would be set aside for qualified students\nfrom needy families to meet the legitimate expenses of their education.\n\"The citizens,\" the study says, \"have voiced majority support for\nthis plan.\n\"The sooner we get on with a tuition program and grants and loans,\"\nit adds, \"the sooner we will provide equal educational opportunity in\nour public institutions of higher Bearning.\"\nThe study also emphasizes that the \"entire process of educating,\nmotivating and compensating teachers must be improved given a higher\npriority. This must be done if we are to begin to realize the full\npromise of education.\"\nOn \"tenure,\" the paper says:\n\"Today, too many believe, mistakenly, that tenure is an inalienable\n'right' which requires no responsibility. It is ironic that some\nteachers, granted job security by the public, now threaten to close\ndown our schools. These militants take the position that they are\naccountable to no one, that they are the power elite and that the\n-3-\n#472\npeople, the owners of the schools, are voiceless providers. This\nadministration's policy is clear: the rights and the best interests of\nthe public are not negotiable.\"\nAs a start toward upgrading the teaching profession, the paper\noffers seven suggestions:\n1. Creation of five staff teaching levels to reestablish teaching\nas a profession and to make education more responsive to current and\nfuture needs:\na) Educational Technician. For this level, junior college\nor college graduates, in any subject field, could assume many of the\nclerical or housekeeping tasks of the teacher. There would be no\ninstructional responsibilities.\nb) Academic Assistant. This would be the first level of\na credentialed teacher. As a teacher intern, this person could work\nwith students and have some instructional responsibility in special or\nskilled areas.\nc) Staff Teacher. While all teachers are, in effect, staff\nteachers, the full-time staff teacher would spend all his or her school\nhours with students.\nd) Senior Teacher. This person, the \"teacher's teacher,\"\nwould be primarily responsible for the application of curriculum and\ninstructional innovations to the classroom. Approximately half the\nsenior teacher's time would be spent with students.\ne) Master Teacher. This teacher could spend about one-\nquarter of the time in the classroom and the other three-quarters work-\ning to upgrade subject matter and introducing new teaching concepts.\n2. Creation of the School Manager--a non-credentialed person with\nmanagement training and experience to assume responsibility for the\nbusiness functions of school operation. This would permit the principal\nto participate actively in the instructional program.\n3. In-service Teacher Training, professional in scope and content,\nand related to the training of basic skills and understanding of new\nconcepts of knowledge.\n4. The development of merit pay plans and improving salary class-\nifications for deserving teachers.\n5. Creation of a \"Teacher-Student Service Corps\" to coordinate the\nutilization of teachers, former teachers, education students and others\nas part-time tutors of school children, particularly those in poor and\nminority areas.\n6. Volunteemchelp by interested citizens to relieve teachers of\nadministrative chores, releasing the teacher for more classwork.\n7. Establishment of workshops for principals, school administra-\ntors, and senior teachers to learn the newest concepts in education.\n#\n-4-\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THF PRESS\nSacramento, Califor:\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.18.68\nC-O-R-R-E-C-T-I-O-N\nIn press release #473, dated today, the sixth paragraph should\nread as follows:\n3--If no action is filed by the owner of the park within 120 days,\nthere will be a conclusive presumption that the adopted highway route,\nthen, is of greater public importance, and it would not be stopped.\nThe seventh paragraph should read as follows:\nGovernor Reagan emphasized that approval of the bill \"is a victory\nfor the people of California made possible by the imaginative thinking\nand the cooperative spirit of John A.

B. Livermore, administrator of\nthe Resources Agency of California and James G. Stearns, director of\nthe State Department of Conservation.\nThe two California officials presented the governor's proposal in\ntestimony before the Select Subcommittee on Small Business.\nThe plan: a. Requests that restrictions on the export of logs\nfrom federal lands immediately be extended to include\nCalifornia in order to establish parity for the western\ntimber region, and\nb. proposes that an extensive three-way study be con-\nducted by the western states, the federal government\nand the timber and lumber industries. The object of\nthis effort would be to fully determine and optimize\ndomestic needs, export markets and management practices\nof our forest resources.\n\"California is the nation's largest consumer of lumber, as well\nas a principal lumber-producing state.\nWe are concerned over the\nlong-range impact of log export on our timber supplies and do not feel\nthat we can or should risk the long-term health of our economy for\nshort-range export expedience, It the governor said.\nHe added that investigation of the situation in California shows\nthat while the federal regulations that were established in April of\nthis year to restrict the export of logs from western Oregon and\nWashington were badly needed, they did cause a shift of export activity\nto California.\n\"This shift has put a heavy burden on California and other unre-\nstricted states, such as Idaho, Montana, as well as eastern Oregon\nand Washington.\n\"Log prices have risen sharply because of increasing exports and\nmany processors are now unable to compete for the available timber\nsupply.\n\"Prices for lumber and wood products have, likewise, sharply\nincreased. The cost of lumber in a new home has risen some 25 percent\nduring the past year, with most of the increase having occurred dur-\ning the last few months.\n-1-\n# 474\n\"Because California is important both as a wood-producing and\nconsuming area, the effects of log exports have been particularly\n..\nsignificant on our economy.\n\"As a consequence, I have asked Mr. Livermore and Mr. Stearns\nto present our case in Washington and urge the immediate acceptance\nof our two-point proposal, = the governor said.\nGovernor Reagan also indicated that the severity of the situation\nand need for control have been recognized by a number of organizations\nwithin California. These include the State Board of Forestry, the\nNorthern Counties Supervisor's Association, a number of county boards\nof supervisors, the State Chamber of Commerce and a number of associa-\ntions representing the forest industry.\nHe added that legislation recognizing the need for export control\nhas been introduced in the state legislature.\n\"We now urge that a consistant application of regulations on\nfederal timber lands that is attuned to the needs of the domestic\nrequirements and local economies be placed in effect immediately,\"\nthe governor concluded.\n# # # # # # #\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: HOLD FOR SUNDAY A.M.'S\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n7.19.68\n#475\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today proposed a statewide \"Neighborhood\nOlympics\" program for California youngsters in August as a salute to\nthe U.

Crown (D-Oakland), Governor Reagan's executive secretary, William P.\nClark Jr., said:\n\"We share the strong feeling held by all authors of BART financing\nlegislation that it is essential to complete the BART project.\n\"However, the district has come to the state for financial\nassistance to eliminate a deficit and complete the so-called basic\nsystem, rather than for a solution to all BART problems, present and\nfuture.\"\nClark said that whatever form state assistance takes, \"three public\ninterest considerations must be satisfied:\n--Fiscal controls should be present which insure that only so much\nmoney is spent as is necessary to complete the basic system and that any\nso-called receivables such as interest, insurance rebates, federal grants,\netc., are credited as received to reduce the amount of state assistance.\nTo protect the taxpayers, any BART bill should not be 'open-ended' thereby\nprecluding the use of funds for purposes other than completion of the\nbasis system.\n--Any plan must be conditioned upon the approval of its terms by\nthe local government entities affected.\n--The revenue source utilized should not be discriminatory or cause\na serious impairment of other needed public services.\"\nClark noted that a bill (SB 82) by Senator George Miller (D-Martinez)\nnow pending before Crown's committee, \"fails to meet these criteria\" for\nthree reasons:\n--No fiscal controls are set out, nor is provision made for crediting\nthe state with any of the so-called receivables which may be repaid or\ngranted to the district.\n--The flow of revenue is removed from the local control of the three\ncounties and the issuance of bonds is mandated to the full extent that\nBART deems necessary.\n--The utilization of bay bridge tolls discriminates against the\nbay bridge user who has already contributed $180 million plus interest\nto BART in addition to property tax in the event this user also resides\nin the district. Lastly, such diversion of toll revenue will for many\nyears impair the timely construction of the already approved southern\ncrossing and needed replacement of the aging Dumbarton Bridge.\nClark said that for these reasons, \"we urge your committee to\nwithhold approval of SB 82 and look toward the other BART measures now\npending as a means of meeting the three essential elements set forth\nabove.\n# # #\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE COVERN R\nMEMO TO TL PRESS\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.22.68\n#478\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced that he has signed the following\nbills:\nAB 229 - Britschgi\nProvides that voters in the Jackson Valley Irriga-\n(Chapter 639)\ntion District need not be residents, but must be\nURGENCY\nowners of real property in the district.

This concept was supported in Governor Reagan's\n\"Creative Study on Law and Order,\" issued in May of this year.\n\"This effort is further evidence that creative government pro-\ngrams do not always require huge budget increases or vast extensions\nof bureaucracy,\" he said.\nThe Governor also announced that Department of Correction\nofficials in Sacramento are greatly encouraged by the favorable results\nof the new program.\n\"If these results continue over the next several months, work\nfurloughs may soon be initiated for selected inmates at other state\nGovernor\nprison facilities, \"/Reagan said.\nThe new work-furlough program permits carefully screened inmates\nto leave the prison during working hours in order to hold jobs in nearby\ncommunities.\nGovernor Reagan also complimented citizens of the Riverside-\nSan Bernardino area for their willingness to provide job opportunities\nfor ex-offenders who are making honest efforts to live down past\nmistakes.\n\"It's through the cooperation of these citizens, local employers\nand labor unions that state prison inmates can help prepare themselves\nto take their place as active, participating members of the community,\" \"\nthe governor said.\nThe first work furlough group includes a restaurant cook, land-\nscape gardeners, golf course attendants, auto body repairmen, a\nmechanic, a television repairman, production workers in manufacturing,\njanitors, and laborers.\nWages earned will range from $1.75 to $5.08 per hour, reflecting\nthe varying job skills of the participants.\nWork furlough participants are required to pay a portion of\ntheir earnings to the state to cover their lodging at the institution.\nThey buy their own meals. The men also pay their own transportation\ncosts and purchase tools and clothing out of their wages,\n-/-\n# 479\nMen with families are required to send a portion of their\nearnings home, thus making it possible to remove some families from\nthe welfare roles. Repayment of personal debts is also required.\nAlthough work furloughs for state prison inmates have been\ngranted since 1965, the new Chino program is the first in which state\nprisoners have been permitted to go to jobs directly from the prison.\nEarlier work-furlough programs have involved the transfer of\ninmates from state prisons to county jails with the programs operated\nby the local jails.\nThe new program was worked out after months of planning and\ncoordination between the Department of Correction, the California\nAdult Authority, the State Parole Board for male offenders, the State\nHealth and Welfare Agency, local police authorities and Governor\nReagan's Office.\nChino Institute for Men Superintendent E. J. Oberhauser, who\nis in charge of the program, reported to the governor that the parole\nboard has already advanced parole in at least two cases in which\ninmates demonstrated superior personal responsibility by their exemplary\nwork in the new furlough program.\n\"This is quite a morale builder for the participants.

The\nbill also adds the classification of \"full-time\nstudent\" among survivors.\nReason for veto:\nThe current survivor allowances under the State\nTeachers' Retirement System are the same as those\nprovided members of the Public Employees' Retire-\nment System who are not covered by Social Security.\nPERS members pay $2 a month for the benefit while\nteacher's benefits are funded from a special re-\nserve. It is estimated that the special reserve\nwill be depleted in 12-15 years, at which time the\nGeneral Fund will assume full liability for such\nbenefits.\nThe matter of providing adequate survivor benefits\nfor members of the STRS and the PERS, including\nthe funding of such benefits, should be re-examined\nby the legislature. Assembly Bill 76 is a piece-\nmeal approach to this problem.\nAB 117 - Quimby\nProvides that the occupancy value of a home shall\nnot be considered income or resources of a welfare\nrecipient, and shall not be deducted from a grant\nof aid.\nReason for veto:\nAB 117 will increase welfare costs by approximately\n$1.2 million annually. The State General Fund\nshare of the increased cost is estimated to be\n$500,000. This increase was not provided for in\nthe 1968-69 Budget.\nAB 740 - Bagley\nProvides that persons appointed to a district\noffice, including a school district office, within\nsix months of the next election at which the office\nis on the ballot, except when the vacancy is\ncaused by death, shall not use \"incumbent\" descrip-\ntion of the office or its title as a ballot desig-\nnation if he is a candidate for that office at\nthe next election and shall not be an incumbent\nfor purposes of position on the ballot.\nReason for veto:\nThis measure will not prevent a district board\nmember from resigning solely to permit his fellow\nboard members to appoint a successor who will then\nrun as an incumbent at the next election. Under\nthe terms of this bill, a resignation need only\noccur six months and a day before the election to\nallow the successor to run as an incumbent.\nAB 740 will only tend to make it more difficult\nto find qualified appointees to fill legitimate\nvacancies on district boards when such vacancies\noccur within six months of the next election.\n-1-\nAB 958 - Ray E. Johnson\nProvides for the appointment of persons to fill\nvacancies on governing boards of school districts\nsituated in any county with a population of less\nthan 150, 000 by the county board of education,\nrather than by the remaining board members. An\nappointee who chooses to run in succeeding elec-\ntion shall specify as his ballot designation\neither \"appointee-incumbent\" or his normal\noccupation.\nReason for veto:\nThe bill is intended to eliminate local controversy\nwhen a school board is unable to reach a unanimous\ndecision on a successor board member. While it\nmay resolve this problem, it will also tend to fur-\nther diminish the authority of local school boards\nto manage their own affairs.\nAB 972 - Vasconcellos\nDeclares that the fact that a person is a user,\nformer user or suspected user of marijuana is\nnot alone sufficient grounds to require a \"Nalline\"\ntest as a condition of probation or parole or\nwhen a person is arrested for a criminal offense\nand is suspected of being a narcotic addict.\nReason for veto:\nUnnecessarily confuses the authority of courts\nand state and local agencies to administer a\n\"Nalline\" test to suspected narcotic addicts.

The bill had the active support of Governor\nReagan's office.\nSB 98 appropriates $600,000 for the system, including all\ntechnicians, evaluation chart and installation of the manned system\nfor the three-year period.\nThe money will be paid out of two special funds: the Aeronautics\nfund which will pay $134,000 per year, and the Harbors and Watercraft\nfund which will pay $66,000 per year.\nThe hyperbolic navigational principle involved is a low-frequency\nphase comparison area coverage system similar to LORAN. Continuous\nsound wave signals are emitted from a group of transmitting stations--\none master station and three slave stations. The signals can be re-\nceived and \"homed-in-on\" by aircraft at all altitudes down to ground\nlevel and by watercraft up to 240 miles at sea.\nAt special bill-signing ceremonies in the governor's office,\nattended by Senator Carrell and Joseph R. Crotti, director of the State\nAeronautics Division, Governor Reagan pointed out a number of the\nanticipated advantages of the ultramodern hyperbolic system which will\nbe fully evaluated during the three-year test period.\n-1-\n#489\nThe Governor said that if the system measures up to expectations:\n(1) Safer flights can be made under low-visibility conditions.\n(2) High mountains, hills and other such hazards will be \"seen\"\non display in the cockpit.\n(3) Under night and low-visibility conditions, an immediate indi-\ncation of wind effect will be provided.\n(4) General aviation aircraft will no longer have to worry about\nthe loss of navigational aid signals at low altitudes as is\nnow the case with VOR-DME and Radar. The hyperbolic system\nwill hopefully permit accurate navigational fixing at all\naltitudes down to ground level, behind hills and in valleys.\n\"I am pleased to sign this bill and I congratulate its author,\nthe Department of Aeronautics and our state legislature for not only\nrecognizing the problems which exist, but for coming up with a hoped-\nfor solution by the drafting and passage of this piece of legislation.\n\"We will test this new navigational aid carefully and completely\nover the next three years in the sincere hope that it will prove an\nimportant new element of safety for operators and passengers of\nvessels and aircraft who--up until now--have been plagued by the ad-\nversities of fog and other inclement weather conditions,\" the governor\nsaid.\n# * #\n-2-\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571 7.25.63\n490\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today added further impetus to an exten-\nsive study into California's automobile accident rate, the rising cost\nof auto insurance and their effect on the lives and pocketbooks of\nmillions of Californians.\nThe added support came in the form of a $50,000 appropriation\nfrom motor vehicle funds under conditions set forth in a bill--SB 975--\nwhich the governor signed today in special ceremonies in his office.\nThe study is being conducted by the California Automobile\nAccident Commission established by AB 764 which was passed at the\nlast session of the legislature at the specific request of Governor\nReagan.\nParticipating in today's SB 975 signing ceremonies were the\nbill's author, Senate President Pro Tem Hugh Burns, (D-Fresno),\nco-authors Senator Randolph Collier (D-Yreka), Senator Richard\nDolwig (R-San Mateo), Senator John Harmer (R-Glendale), and James\nSchmidt, Assistant Secretary of the California Business and\nTransportation Agency.\nThe bill is part of Governor Reagan's highway safety legislative\nprogram and was actively supported by the insurance industry including\nthe Association of California Insurance Companies.\nThe California Automobile Accident Commission was the first of\nits kind ever established by legislation in the nation.\nAlthough the Commission is empowered to investigate all areas\nof automobile safety, this study is concentrating specifically on\nwhat can be done about California's high automobile accident rate and\nthe spiralling cost of automobile insurance resulting therefrom.\nIn signing the bill, the governor stated that the problems of\nautomobile insurance are most critical to Californians in that we\nhave over 10 percent of the nation's automobiles registered in this\nstate.\n\"Ne know that there are many reasons given to account for higher\ninsurance costs,\" he said.\n490\n\"Inflation is one. More and better coverage in the form of\nhigher liability protection, theft and towing charge coverage, medical\npayments and uninsured motorist protection is another.\n\"Ne know that automobile costs and values have greatly increased\nand, naturally, have affected insurance costs.\n\"But whatever the reasons, the spiralling cost of automobile\ninsurance is hitting Californians hard.\n\"We also recognize that the insurance companies themselves are\nin a difficult situation. They are in the business of underwriting\ninsurance risks and yet, the better job they do, the more difficult\nit is for many of our citizens to obtain coverage. In other cases, if\ninsurance can be obtained, the premiums go up to compensate for the\nhigher risks.\"\nGovernor Reagan also indicated that there are reports from\nWashington that extensive changes are needed in the present system of\ninsuring the automobile.\n\"If we are to avoid the control of the insurance business by the\nfederal government in Mashington, as I believe we must, we will have\nto continue to do a job at the state level.\n\"It is my sincere hope that through this study, our California\nAutomobile Accident Commission can demonstrate to the people of this\nstate and the nation that our state government--working with the people\nand with the responsible leaders of the insurance industry--can solve\nthis critical problem without the necessity of federal intervention\nand control,\" the governor said.\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californ\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n7.26.68\n#491\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the beginning of a pilot\nFamily Visitation Program in the state prison system.\nThis proposal\nwas supported in the Governor's Creative Study on Law and Order issued\nin May of this year.\nThe goal of the program is to help ease the adjustment problems\nencountered by men who rejoin their wives, children and parents after\nmany months or years in prison.\n\"We hope this program will help develop family strengths to sustain\na\nex-inmates as they complete the transition from prison to/law-abiding\nlife,\" the governor said.\nThe pilot Family Visitation Program was begun at the California\nCorrectional Institution at Tehachapi and is limited to inmates schedule\nfor early release on parole. Preference is given to prisoners due for\nparole within three months.\nTo be eligible for special visits, inmates must have achieved\nminimum-security ratings. A record of good conduct for at least six\nmonths also will be required.\nGovernor Reagan said that the Department of Corrections and Health\nand Welfare Agency Administrator Spencer Williams will study and eval-\nuate the pilot program very carefully during the next few months. If\nit proves to offer the hoped-for benefits, the program may be expanded\nto other facilities within the California correctional system.\nAs the pilot program is presently being conducted, legally married\ncouples as well as the children and parents of inmates will be allowed\ntwo-day visits in three-bedroom apartments, now vacant, which once\nserved as staff quarters.\nThe furnished apartments will be equipped with standard house-\nkeeping items including cooking utensils. Food will be provided by the\nfamilies.\nThe cottages are located a short distance from the main institution\nbuildings. Plans call for installation of playground equipment for\nchildren.\nThe new Family Visitation Program was initiated following extensive\ndiscussions and planning by the governor; Health and Welfare Secretary\nSpencer Williams; R. K. Procunier, director of the Department of\nCorrections; Department of Rehabilitation Director Robert E. Howard;\nand G. P. Lloyd, superintendent of the California Institution at\nTehachapi.\nDuring the evaluation period, regular reports will be submitted to\nWilliams for detailed discussion with the governor.\nThe special pilot program has been started without staffing or\nbudget increases.\n#\n#\n#\nEJG\nFACT SHEET ON FAMILY VISITATION PROGRAM\nThis is a pilot program recommended specifically by Governor\nReagan and initiated after extensive planning with Health and Welfare\nSecretary Spencer Williams, R. K. Procunier, director of the Department\nof Corrections, Robert E. Howard, director of the Department of\nRehabilitation and Perry Lloyd, superintendent, California Correctional\nInstitution at Tehachapi.\nUnlike \"conjugal visitation\" programs elsewhere, this is a true\nfamily visitation program designed to ease the many adjustment\nproblems encountered by men who rejoin their wives, children and parents\nafter months or years in prison. Every reasonable effort is made to\nprovide a homelike atmosphere for the entire family in what we believe\nis a true \"first\" in helping to re-establish and strengthen family ties\nas the inmate makes the transition from prison to law abiding\ncitizenship.\nThis is a pilot program. So far it appears to be working quite\nwell. It will continue to be studied very carefully during the next\nfew months. If it proves to offer the hoped-for benefits, the family\nvisitation program may be expanded to other facilities within the\nCalifornia correctional system.\nThe program has been started without staffing or budget increases.\n# # #\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n7.25.68\nGovernor Reagan will sign smog bills\nAB 356 and AB 357 at a ceremony in his office\nthis afternoon at 1:30 p.m.\n# # #\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Califor a\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n7.25.68\n# 492\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today that the number of\npersons enrolled in the statewide apprenticeship program during\nJune--the month proclaimed by the governor as APPRENTICESHIP MONTH--\nwas nearly double the number enrolled during the same period last\nyear.\nFifteen percent of the new apprentices are members of minority\ngroups compared with 13.8 percent one year ago.\nThe governor announced the results of his Apprenticeship Month\nprogram after receiving an advance report from Charles F.

Hitch\nPresident, University of California\nUniversity Hall\nBerkeley, California 94704\nDear President Hitch:\nThe people of California have founded the University of California and\nhave long been generous in its support. The people are being generous\nonce again in the budget which I, serving as their representative,\napproved for the year 1968-69.\nYou have sent me a copy of your letter to members of the Legislature\nwhich I consider quite misleading, and which is part of a statewide\ncampaign being managed by the University administration to persuade\nthe Legislature to override my vetoes of certain items of the budget\nand thereby obtain additional funds.\nI believe, in fairness to the people of California, you should present\nthe kind of balanced picture that accurately reflects the situation.\nFor this reason, the following reexamination of the facts is in order.\nThe University this year received over one-third billion dollars, or\n$335.7 million, an increase of $33 million over the previous budget.\nThe University received for capital outlay, $44.6 million; for support,\n$277 million; and for salary increases, $14.1 million.\nThe University's share of the total budget increased this year to\n5.89 percent--up from last year's 5.69 percent.\nThe new University budget provides an increase of nearly three times\nmore money per student than the average yearly increase per student\nover the past ten years. This year, $160 more per student is budgeted\nthan last year. This may be compared with an average annual increase\nof $66 per student during the past ten years.\nFurther evidence of the University's true economic situation is the\nfact that in every instance where administrative positions with\nanalogous functions can be identified, the University pays a higher\nsalary than does the government of the State of California. Comparing\nthe thirteen top comparable positions in the University with their\ncounterparts, the top thirteen elective and appointive officers in\nstate government, University officials already earn an average of $5,434\nmore per year than state officers.\nThe University's tactic of equating the terms \"request\" and \"budget\nand then proceeding repeatedly to claim that the budget has been \"cut\"\nor \"slashed\"--ca only create confusion on the part of the public. I\nam disappointed that the University would resort to such methods in its\ncampaign to drum up public sympathy.\nBecause, as you know, the fact still remains that the current University\nbudget is the highest in history--more than $33 million higher than\nlast year, a better than ten percent increase.\nOne of the items I removed from the University budget--$3.725 million--\nwould have provided no financial gain to the University at all. In\nfact, the money could only have been used if the Regents agreed to lower\nthe same student fee provisions which they had approved only three months\nearlier. Had I not vetoed this item, a legislative attempt to control\nthe Regents, a very dangerous precedent, would have succeeded, In fact,\nrepresentations were made to me and to the Director of Finance by\nUniversity officials expressing concern over the dangerous precedent such\nan arrangement would set.\nThe balance of the items I vetoed covered such materials as plant main-\ntenance, purchases of equipment which could have been met by raising\nfees for services provided, and some additional compensation for faculty\nwhich could be financed out of funds appropriated for faculty positions\nwhich remain unfilled by the University. Additional reductions were\nmade because of reduced enrollment figures furnished by the University\nfor the Summer Quarter at Berkeley. It is my understanding that even\nfurther reductions would now be justifiable on the basis of reduced\nSummer Session enrollment at UCLA.\n-1-\nThese reductions, however, were relatively small. It is inconceiv-\nable that they could result in any major change in the academic or\neducational role of the University. They constitute less than\nthree percent of the total University allocation. And of this sum,\nmore than one-third was not an appropriation at all, but a \"carrot on\na stick\" offered to the Regents if they would reduce fees,\nThe principle complaint of the University--than an insufficient number\nof new programs was authorized by the Legislature--is not met in any\nway by the demand for an override of the reductions.\nThe truth is, the University is interested in trying to persuade the\nLegislature to override vetoes of an amount which actually totaled\nonly two percent of the appropriation for the whole University.\nAnd if your demands are not met, you are threatening to turn away the\nsons and daughters of those who support the University. Surely there\nare ways more in keeping with the traditions of the academic community\nthan this. One of these would be a small addition to the teaching\nload of the faculty. Perusal of the schedule of courses at the\nUniversity reveals to me what you already know, that the actual number\nof hours the average faculty member spends on organized class teaching\napproaches only about five hours per week. By adding only one more\ncourse per year, each teacher could help in the solution of the entire\nenrollment problem. It is obvious from this that the claim that the\nUniversity must cut educational services has no validity.\nThe University of California is a truly great institution, one that\nI am sure you and I want to build to even further greatness so that\nit can better serve the people of California and, indeed, the entire\nworld. Neither of us has any desire to embroil the University in\npolitical bickering or to turn it into an instrument for propaganda or\npersonal aggrandizement.\nThe University is also the property of all the people of California;\nthose who operate it and are responsible for its policies do so at\nthe sufferance of the people and occupy positions of public trust\nthat supersede the ambitions of anyone. I am sure you will agree that\nsuch a trust should include with it the obligation that the people\nbe informed honestly and fairly regarding the state of their\ninstitutions.\nI would hope that after giving this matter your full consideration\nyou would re-evaluate your present course and join in the effort to\nimprove not only the University, but also the entire state.\nWe cannot and must not afford the luxury of having the various parts\nof the state feud among themselves at the eventual expense of all the\ncitizenry.\nSincerely,\nRONALD REAGAN\nGovernor\n#\n#\n#\n-2-\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n7.29.68\n#496\nGovernor Ronald Reagan said today that University of California\nofficials are attempting to \"create confusion on the part of the\npublic\" by resorting to a \"misleading. campaign to drum up public\nsympathy.\"\nIn a letter to University of California President Charles J.
