Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"At the request of officials of the University of California and
the City of Berkeley, and with the concurrence of local law enforcement
agencies, the state of extreme emergency which now exists at Berkeley
will be terminated at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, Tuesday, June 3, 1969.
"You will recall that on February 5, 1969--at the specific request
of the sheriff of Alameda County and University officials--- I proclaimed
a state of emergency in order to help insure the safety of persons and
property in the area.
"It has been, is now, and will continue to be the policy of this
administration to provide to local authorities whatever state assistance
may be necessary to enforce the law and protect the lives and property
of our citizens.
"Consistent with this policy, and with the concurrence of law
enforcement officials in Alameda County, I also am directing that units
of the National Guard be removed from active duty in the Berkeley area.
"I want to take this opportunity to commend members of the
California Highway Patrol and National Guard as well as local law
enforcement officials for the outstanding way in which they discharged
their duties, including the remarkable restraint they displayed in the
face of extreme provocation, continuing abuse, and serious physical
injury.
"I know that I speak for the vast majority of their fellow citizens
in expressing sincere thanks for a job well done."

Governor Ronald Reagan today launched a statewide campaign to help
hundreds of thousands of California young people get jobs this summer
and named a select five-man, blue-ribbon committee to help coordinate
the effort.
Noting that "the employment needs of our youth this summer will be
greater than ever before,' he called on employers, both large and small,
to "take a close look at the jobs you have---jobs at the beginning level
where real work is involved to justify the pay---and match them with the
summer vacation work needs of our young people, wherever possible.
"I am confident," he said, "that through the joint efforts of this
blue ribbon committee and the thousands of employers in California's
business and governmental sectors, the 1969 Summer-Jobs-For-Youth
campaign can be far and away the most successful so far."
The governor said he was pleased to announce that John T. Hay,
general manager of the California State Chamber of Commerce, has accepted
an invitation to be chairman of the blue-ribbon group, for the second
straight year. "Under John Hay's leadership," he said, "many thousands
of our young people found jobs last summer."
Governor Reagan noted that as a result of the effort during the
summer of 1968, more than 160,000 youth job placements were recorded by
the Department of Employment. "And, we are sure, he added, "that
additional thousands of young people for whom the state did not keep
such a tally were able to find summer jobs last year as a result of
the emphasis placed on youth employment."
He said he was also reappointing to the blue-ribbon committee William
A. Simpson, Jr., president of the William Simpson Construction Company,
Los Angeles, and E. James Houseberg of Salinas, executive vice president
of the Grower-Shipper Vegetable Association of Central California. The
governor praised both men for the excellent job they turned in as
committee members in 1968.
The two new members named to the committee Charles W. Goady, 44,
of Oakland, and Henry M. Sante, 50, of San Francisco represent
California's Negro and Mexican-American communities.
Goady, a certified public accountant, has long been active in Bay
Area black community affairs and is a member of the Oakland Unified School
District Board of Education.
Sante, who operates his own public accounting firm is a charter membe
of the Mexican-American Political Association and the Spanish-speaking
Citizens' Foundation.
Governor Reagan designated State Human Resources Development Director
Gilbert L. Sheffield, currently acting director of the Department of
Employment, as coordinator for the State of California.
The governor is scheduled to meet with the members of the blue-ribbon
committee in Sacramento June 10 for a report on the campaign.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"Before getting into the question-and-answer portion of today's
press conference, I would like to make some introductions and discuss
an effort which has been launched jointly by this administration and
the State Chamber of Commerce to stimulate job opportunities for
California's young people this summer,
"I can think of no single issue which needs greater emphasis and
support by all segments of our state than that of attending to the
summer employment needs of our youth.
"As you know, I announced the launching of this effort several
days ago and just this morning met with a newly-formed blue ribbon
committee of businessmen to learn of plans currently under way to tackle
this problem.
"Three athletes the gentlemen standing with me here--have been
working for several months to make the Summer-Jobs-For-Youth campaign
a success. They have been meeting with members of the business
community- to encourage them to plan and budget jobs for our youth.
They have spent a great deal of time in our disadvantaged areas meeting
with young people, encouraging them to complete their education, and
emphasizing the importance of work.
"Itsis a pleasure to introduce them to you and to the people of
California" Clem Daniels of the San Francisco 49ers, Tony Guillory
of the Los Angeles Rams and "Speedy" Duncan of the San Diego Chargers.
"Their special ability to communicate with both adults and young
people will contribute to a greater understanding of the problems we
face, and will help us overcome them.
"I know they are anxious to get on with their tasks, but before they
depart, let me make it clear that I know of the desire of many businessmen
to make this campaign a success. Certainly, industry does not lack the
willingness to do its best. At the same time, none of us can ignore
the fact that businessmen face a number of cumbersome legal restrictions
-barriers, if you will--to hiring young people. It is for this reason
that I have urged members of the legislature to pass legislation which
will ease such restrictions on tempory youth employment.
"Again, let me strongly urge every employer to take a hard and close
look at jobs they can surely provide--where real work is involved to
justify the pay--and then match them, wherever and whenever possible,
to the employment needs of youth.
#312
"Finally, I would like to call on you, the members of the
communications media, to help us in this effort. You can make a
tremendous contribution to the success of this campaign by emphasizing
the positive aspects of what we are all attempting to do. So often,
of
the negative activities/a small number of unrepresentative young people--
activities intended to disrupt and destroy--get all the headlines, the
big play, creating a mistaken impression of the vast majority of
our youth.
"You have an excellent opportunity here to emphasize a positive,
extremely worthwhile effort, which can make an important difference
in the lives of many of our young people."

"The Task Force will play an integral role in our ongoing program of

about possible abuses in reporting practices that may have wrongfully

sectors have joined together in a common purpose to make this program the
success it is, through the California Apprenticeship Council and the
State Division of Apprenticeship Standards,' he said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced a major realignment of
intergovernmental responsibilities within the administration.
He designated Lt. Governor Ed Reinecke as chief executive officer
for intergovernmental relations and announced the creation of an Office
of Intergovernmental Management which Reinecke will head.
The action followed an extensive study by the staffs of both
leaders which showed that the new functional realignment would further
strengthen and support the administrative process, not only by improving
coordination with other governmental agencies, but also by providing a
greater single focus for intergovernmental problem solving.
In addition, the new approach will assist in decision-making by
the governor and his cabinet by providing them with more of the kind of
information and analysis they need to deal effectively with matters
pertaining to federal-state and state-local relations.
Governor Reagan emphasized that, in line with the policy of the
administration, the action will not require additional state funds.
"Rather, " he said, "it will bring together existing staff resources in
a coordinated effort to make more efficient the state's intergovernmental
management.
"The new office,' he explained, "will evaluate state policy as it
relates to pending federal legislation, provide a central review of
federal grants-in-aid as well as state applications for federal grants,
and maintain a continuing liaison with city and county agencies.
"During the early days of this administration," he said, "I pledged
to support the practical principle that city and county government
being close to local problems---are in a good position to help solve them.
"By providing even closer state-local liaison, the new Office of
Intergovernmental Management will now enable the administration to move
a long way toward accomplishing this objective,' he added.
The governor also said he is designating the lieutenant governor as
the administration's Model Cities coordinator to further strengthen the
program.
He noted that his designation of Reinecke as chief executive officer
for intergovernmental relations "adds significantly to the responsibilities
of the lieutenant governor and makes him truly an integral part of our
top management team."

The Office of Intergovernmental Management will include among its
overall responsibilities the coordination of planning between all
agencies and departments of the executive branch. "The planning function
affects every area of administration and cuts across all departmental
lines, = the governor said.
"It is for this reason that I have asked the lieutenant governor,
as head of the new office, to see to it that state planning continues to
contribute to the long range and short range best interests of all our
citizens," he added.
The governor said implementation of the new plan will begin
immediately and organizational changes will be made as needed.
Current plans call for the Office of Intergovernmental Management,
which will be located in the Lt. Governor's office, to coordinate the
functions of the Office of Management Services; Intra-agency Council on
Ocean Resources, Council on Intergovernmental Relations; State Office of
Planning, Environmental Quality Study Council; California Public Service
Training and Advisory Council; Intra-State Electronic Data Processing
Policy Committee; Model Cities Coordination; Federal Grant Coordination
and Intergovernmental Liaison; and State Liaison with the Inter-
governmental Board on Electronic Data Processing,

The Reagan administration acted today to insure that all public
school classrooms in the state now under construction and scheduled
for opening this fall will be adequately financed so they may be
furnished and equipped in time to achieve full use by pupils during
the coming semester.
The action was taken by State Finance Director Caspar W. Weinberger
who advanced $12, 186, 702 from the General Fund to insure completion of
such projects.
The funds were advanced, he said, because current high interest
rates have made it impossible for the state to sell bonds within the
constitutional limits of five percent.
Proceeds from the next sale of bonds will be pledged to repay the
general fund for its advances to the state school building aid program.
Weinberger said implementation and processing of the projects,
including assessments, utilities, off-site development, service site
development, construction, furniture and equipment, and general site
development, will begin immediately.
He said that the action directs applicant school districts to
proceed with projects in the affected category upon receipt of specific
written authorization of the Department of Finance.
At the same time, the school allocation board was advised that no
additional advances can be made from the general fund or other state
resources until state bonds can be sold, and therefore no new approvals
for school building aid projects can be given at this time, he added.

"Yesterday's stunning special election victory by Robert Wood in

move in California. He spelled out the issues and took strong positions
on them, positions with which the voters decisively concurred.
"He called for fiscal responsibility in government, for respect
for, and vigorous enforcement of, the law, for firmness in meeting
problems of campus disruption and violence, for a crackdown on
purveyors of pornography, for action in combating drug abuse, and for
a return to the basic principles of common decency and morality.
"As a member of the legislature, he will help to provide the
support necessary for implementing administration programs and the
kind of representation and leadership in Sacramento for which the people
of the 34th District have elected him.
"Like other Republican candidates in special elections over the
past several years, Robert Wood overcame both a Democrat: voter
registration margin and a well known Democrat Party figure to achieve
his impressive victory.
"I look forward to working with him closely in the weeks and months
ahead, and to many more victories by Republican legislative candidates

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has reluctantly signed
AB 1110 which loans $500,000 of state money to the Livermore Valley
Unified School District.
The bill enables the district to meet its current obligations
due to totally inadequate fiscal management of the school district.
The district badly overcommitted their available funds and incurred
very substantial debts.
"I am convinced that if the state did not extend this loan, the
school would have been forced to curtail sharply its educational
program to the detriment of the students enrolled, " the governor
said.
"However, it should be clearly understood that the signing of
this legislation and the loan of state funds to correct internal
administrative errors of this magnitude in a local school district
does not establish a precedent.
"The Education Code presently provides for the liability of
governing board members when funds have been overcommitted in this
way. In the future, school districts should look to that remedy
rather than to the state for loans."

Governor Ronald Reagan today asked Congress to put the long-
discussed concept of "tax-sharing" into effect in California.
"This could be accomplished," Governor Reagan said, "by allowing
per cent
California residents to claim a proposed 1/ Educational Opportunity
Tax on income as a credit against the federal income tax." The levy
is part of Governor Reagan's proposed tax reform package.
The governor made the proposal in a letter to members of the
California Congressional Delegation.
If the credit, rather than the usual deduction, is allowed,
California taxpayers would be able to deduct from their federal income
tax bill whatever additional state income taxes they would owe as a
result of the tax reform program. This would mean that there would
be no net increase in any citizen's combined tax bill if Governor
Reagan's tax package is adopted and the tax credit is permitted by the
federal government.
"In fact, the tax-sharing plan which this administration is
proposing has been received enthusiastically by Vice President Agnew,"
the governor said.
"Congress now has an opportunity to put into practice the concept
of tax-sharing. All we are asking is that Washington let California
retain a small part of the $17 billion in taxes that our state pays to
the federal government each year, the governor said.
"We will use this rebate in a creative and constructive way---to
provide equal educational opportunity for all our children and to
provide long overdue property tax relief for our homeowners. Both of
those goals should be of vital interest to the federal government, too.
"The whole purpose of tax-sharing is to allow the states to keep
some of the money they would otherwise send to Washington and use it
to solve their own problems. That's just what we are attempting to do
in California with the tax reform package this administration has
proposed.
per cent
"By allowing our citizens to claim the 1/ Educational Opportunity
Tax as a credit, the federal government would merely be allowing us to
use California taxes to solve California problems,' the governor said.
- 1 -
#347
"A tax credit for the proposed Educational Opportunity Tax is the
way to institute tax-sharing right now, not in some distant future day."
Here is the text of Governor Reagan's letter to members of the
California Congressional Delegation:
"In California, 65 cents of every tax dollar goes to the federal
government, leaving only 18 cents for financing all state services and
about 17 cents to finance the activities of local government.
"As a result of this imbalance, the ability of state and local
governments to meet the costs of expanded essential services has been
severely limited. Members of both political parties have conceded this
by endorsing the much-discussed concept of "tax-sharing."
"Under such a concept, the federal government would remit to each
state (through some plan yet to be devised) a portion of the federal
taxes collected in that state.
"This proposal for tax-sharing was first suggested by Republican
governors in the early 1960s. Democratic party leaders have since
endorsed and expanded on the proposal. The present Republican
administration is publicly committed to the concept of 'tax-sharing.'
"But no one has yet come up with a positive, creative way to put
'tax-sharing'' into effect.
"This administration is proposing a method to turn this meritorious
idea into reality.
"A practical and workable program of 'tax-sharing" could be
accomplished in California by permitting California residents to claim
per cent
our proposed 1/ State Educational Opportunity Tax on income as a credit
against the federal income tax. This tax sharing plan, which has been
enthusiastically received by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, is part of
my administration's proposed tax reform package.
"If a credit, rather than the usual deduction were to be allowed
percent
for this 1/ portion of the state income tax, California taxpayers
would be able to deduct from their federal income tax bill whatever
additional state income taxes they would otherwise pay as a result of
tax reform.
"We will use this rebate in a creative and constructive way---to
provide equal educational opportunity for all our children and long
overdue property tax relief for our homeowners.
- 2 -
#347
"The tax reform program that would be partly financed by the 1 percent
Educational Opportunity Tax would almost double the amount of state
financial assistance to California's local school districts. In turn,
this increased state aid would permit a reduction of about 50 percent
in the average homeowner's property taxes. Both those goals are urgent.
Under the present system of school finance, there is a wide and unfair
disparity in the amount of funds different school districts have
available to finance quality education. This is especially true of
schools located in core urban areas with a limited tax base.
"The tax reform package that this administration is seeking would
correct these inequities. Through this approach, Congress now has
its first realistic opportunity to put into practice this concept of
tax-sharing. All we are asking is that California retain a small part
of the $17 billion in taxes that our state pays to the Federal government
each year.
"Because I know you are as interested as I am in solving these
problems without increasing the tax burden of any citizen of California,
I urge your support of our efforts to have the Internal Revenue Service
/percent
grant Californians a tax credit for the proposed 1 Equal Educational
Opportunity Tax."

PRESS RELEASE
FOR MONDAY A.Ms. RELEASE, JUNE 23, 1969
Caspar W. Weinberger
State Director of Finance
Sacramento, California
916 445-4141
"The ability of California state government to finance much of
its future growth depends on passage of a Constitutional Amendment
raising the present five per cent interest limitation on State
bonds," Caspar W. Weinberger, State Director of Finance, said
yesterday.
Weinberger, addressing the annual meeting of the California
Group, Investment Bankers Association of America, in Santa Barbara,
said that last week, approval of the necessary Constitutional
Amendment was blocked by a "brazen political bargaining attempt to
secure passage of other bills totally unrelated to the interest
limitation. This is nothing more nor less than trying to barter
the State's future," Weinberger said.
He explained that at present the Constitution prevents the
State from paying more than five per cent interest on its bonds,
and with the current conditions, bonds are only saleable if interest
in excess of six per cent can be paid. As a result, even though
California bonds are of the highest quality, few investors are
willing to purchase them at the moment. This, in turn, means that
much necessary State construction, including the State Water Project,
buildings for State institutions and higher education, and
loans to public school districts, as well as all other activities
financed by bond issue, requires that we be able to pay the current
rates of interest required by the market.
"Senator Gordon Cologne, of Riverside, is the author of a
Constitutional Amendment which has already passed the Senate,
giving the State the necessary authorization. It is vitally
necessary that this Amendment be approved as quickly as possible so
that we will know it will be on the ballot next year, and so that
we can begin preparations for the campaign to secure its adoption.
"Last week, passage of the measure in the Assembly Revenue and
-1-
Taxation Committee was blocked by some members who puolicly attempted
to blame the Administration for the condition of the bond market
nationally, and who privately indicated they were trying to win
votes for some of their own favorite bills.
"If these tactics should result in the loss of Senator Cologne's
Constitutional Amendment, those who participate in stratagems of this
kind must bear the responsibility for endangering the State's water
program, and all of our other activities that, because of their
magnitude, have to be financed by bond issues. These include not
only the water program and the other construction previously
mentioned, but also the State's ability to continue its highly
successful Veterans Farm and Home Purchases program.
"Such matters are far too important to entrust to the old
legislative log-rolling practice of 'You vote for my bill, and I'll
vote for yours. I would hope that responsible legislators will
realize that to play such a game is to tamper with much of the future
of California."
Weinberger also told the Investment Bankers Association that
until the Constitutional Amendment can be voted on by the people next
year, the Administration is making use of numerous mechanisms that
will meet needs, until bonds can again be sold on a large scale basis.
Among these temporary methods are the use of bond anticipation notes
to continue to supply the Water Project with its heavy cash
requirements; a system under which sellers of land, contractors and
others take State bonds directly at existing rates of interest,
rather than cash; and rescheduling many construction programs so that
the most urgent can be financed out of available cash.
Weinberger has already advanced loans totaling nearly
$30 million to local school districts to ensure that all needed
classrooms can be opened and in use when the new term begins this
September.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement;
I have invited you here today to share with me what I consider
to be one of the most rewarding moments I have experienced as
governor. the signing into law of an administration bill to help
protect our citizens from the deadly menace of the drunken driver.
As you know, this measure has been a keystone of my legislative
program. For two years, we have worked hard to put a tough presumptive
limits bill on the lawbooks in California. This ceremony represents
a fitting climax to these efforts and reflects a clear recognition on
the part of the public of the growing need for effective measures to
deal with the very real threat posed by the drinking driver.
I am very pleased that members of the Senate and Assembly have
seen fit to give the legislation the support necessary to make it a
reality. And I want to particularly commend Assemblyman Craig Biddle
for authoring this legislation and to thank Gordon Cologne for his
assistance in the Senate.
The fact that alcohol was involved in more than half of the 4,850
motor vehicle deaths in California last year has focused renewed
emphasis on the need for a change in the law to make our streets and
highways safe from the problem drinker--for he is the problem driver.
Studies show that ordinary drivers arrested for drunken driving
have an infinitely lower prior arrest record than problem drinkers. By
setting the blood alcohol concentration level at one-tenth of one percent
--the point at which a driver's ability is presumed to be impaired--
this legislation will go a long way toward combatting the problem
drinker who insists on endangering the safety of the rest of our citizens.
By modernizing the prosecution of drunk drivers, the law will also
relieve the judiciary of some of the present burden and costly expense
involved in trials.
I want to emphasize that this administration will continue to push
for action and legislation which will improve the California Highway
Safety Program. We are working closely with nearly 100 local government
agencies to make more effective various traffic safety improvement
projects, including the expansion of driver training and education
programs, accident prevention through better records and surveillance,
integrated traffic records systems, and intergovernmental traffic safety
studies.
By coordinating these programs through the State Office of
Transportation Safety, the administration is now able to channel this
myriad of safety efforts into a single vital force which promises to
benefit all of the people of California

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"Good afternoon. I am very pleased that all of you could join
with me here today to share in this important bill signing ceremony.
"No legislation during my term as governor has been given greater
priority by this administration than the two measures I am about to
sign into law. We have made these bills hallmarks of our legislative
program since January, 1967, and have fought vigorously for their passage
during three legislative sessions.
"The need to keep pornographic and obscene materials out of the
hands of our children has been, and is today, a matter of extreme
importance--both to the moral well-being of our society as a whole and,
in particular, to the best interests of our young people.
"As I have said before, pandering to the weaknesses of our adult
citizens is bad enough. Appealing to the weaknesses of our children is
nothing less than criminal.
"This landmark legislation will rightly return to parents the
ability to protect their children from obscenity by strengthening
significantly the punishment of smut peddlers who are guided solely by
the enormous profits such material can bring.
"In approving these administration bills, the legislature has
demonstrated its concern for the problem and has assumed its responsibi-
lity to the youth of our state who look to all of us for moral leadership.
I want to especially commend the efforts of Senator Bob Lagomarsino who
has worked diligently for three years to see these bills through to
fruition. As author of the legislation, he saw to it that each of his
colleagues in the legislature was made ever more aware of the growing
threat posed by the dissemination of smut to our youngsters.
"There are many others--individuals and organizations- who deserve a
great deal of credit for making this legislation a reality, and to all of
them I want to express my deep appreciation for their valuable assistance.
"In sum, the bills being enacted here today will be of lasting
importance to every citizen of California. For, they will guarantee that
the will of the people on this issue is reflected on the law books of
the state."

Governor Ronald Reagan sent the following letter to the Assembly
Ways and Means Committee today:
"TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE:
"Assembly Bill No. 2045, relating to taxation, in my opinion
constitutes an emergency bill within the meaning of that term, as
used in Section 12 of Article IV of the Constitution of the State of
California, consideration of which should not await the final enactment
of the budget bill.
"I, therefore, recommend consideration of Assembly Bill No. 2046
as an emergency measure.
"I recommend consideration of this measure at this time in the
form in which it was favorably reported by the Assembly Revenue and
Taxation Committee. There have been reports of various proposed
amendments to this bill and others in the group constituting my
Tax Reform program. I have not seen, nor have I had an opportunity
to consider any of these proposed amendments, but I am definitely
opposed to some of the amendments reported to have been proposed this
morning.
"I wish to make it perfectly clear that I still strongly support
the Tax Program as favorably and unanimously reported by the Assembly
Revenue and Taxation Committee. I have been persuaded that the only
way the legislature can continue consideration of my Tax Reform program
is by the issuance of an emergency letter of this type. It should be
very clear, however, that I will not support any Tax Reform program
that does not provide genuine and guaranteed property tax relief for
the people of California, including significant tax relief for our
farmers. That was my position when I took office. It was my
position when my Tax Reform Program was favorably and unanimously
reported by the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee, and it is
still my position.
"Respectfully submitted, Ronald Reagan, Governor of California"

sumers," stated Wadsworth, Los Angeles civic leader and recently retired
chairman of the board of Southern Counties Gas Company.

consumer complaints and to report to him early next year the problems we
have identified and our recommendations how these problems may be solved
in the best interest of the public and the credit granting businesses,"
Wadsworth said.
"We are looking to the public to help us," the chairman stated.
"We understand some people believe that reporting abuses are widespread,
but there have been no studies until this one that have really attempted
to find out." He asked that consumers submit complaints and comments to
the Task Force executive secretary, Gordon Bishop, at 1021 O Street,
Sacramento.
Information about credit reporting practices and consumer problems
will also be solicited by members of the Task Force from retailers, banks,

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"There is absolutely no reason for Assembly Democrats to shirk their
responsibility to the people of California and refuse to adopt the budget
for the new fiscal year which starts at midnight tonight.
Now there is talk of adopting a budget which would continue state
appropriations for only a one-month period. But to take such action
while at the same time refusing to approve the budget in its entirety is
political partisanship carried to a ridiculous and very dangerous degree.
It amounts to outright obstructionism and the result will be costly and
unnecessary extravagances.
But even more important than the effect it will have on California's
economy, and in its standing among the states, is the utter lack of
responsibility to the citizens of this state.
Such unstatesman-like conduct unprecedented in the history of
California in fact will cause extreme hardships an citizens from all
walks of life. How, for example, can a local school board plan its
budget for the coming year when Democrats refuse to adopt a state budget
which in fact should guide them? How can the administrator of a state
department plan ahead for the good of our citizens when he will have no
way of knowing whether to start a new program or delay its inauguration
again to the great disadvantage of thousands of citizens?
It is absurd, for example, to consider one-twelfth of a new building
for students, or to realistically program expenditures for such things as
needed medical aid or welfare.
Because such questions are raised by the spectre of an unforgivable
lack of responsibility from assembly democrats, I am preparing an
executive order which will give guidelines to all state departments and
agencies faced with planning in the absence of the annual budget.
At the same time, the argument over educational aid in the area of
$395 million or $200 million is specious. We have put $105 million in
additional education aid for our public schools into the budget. There
of this magnitude,
are no funds available for alternatives which involve additional spending/
As for tax reform, I assured Assemblymen Zenovich and Unruh they
could and should proceed with the budget because we Republicans intend
to move forward with a total tax reform program this session.

Governor Ronald Reagan late today sent the following message to:
Agency Secretaries
Department Heads
The President of the University of California
The Chancellor of the California State Colleges
All Constitutional Officers
All State Employees
"The present legislative situation is such that I am obliged to
notify you of the following:
"If the Legislature should not pass a Budget by midnight tonight,
no expenditure can be made for the payment of salaries, purchase of
supplies, or for any other purpose from General Fund money until further
notice. Special funds with continuing appropriations can continue to
operate, and expenditures made from them until present balances are
exhausted.
"Any time or other service expended by a state employee to be paid
from the General Fund after midnight of June 30 would have to be treated
as a voluntary contribution, because after midnight (unless the
legislature passes a Budget) there will be no appropriation from which
salaries, supplies, etc., can be paid for; nor can existing continuing
contracts requiring the expenditures of state money be honored.
"There has been considerable discussion of a '1/12th' or 'skeleton'
Budget which may or may not be enacted before midnight tonight.
"If such a Budget is enacted, which purports to authorize the
expenditure of one-twelfth of each item in the Budget as reported by the
Conference Committee, or one-twelfth of each item of the Budget as
submitted by the governor, the addressees of this message will be able
to encumber and allow to be expended one-twelfth of the appropriate item.
This does not necessarily mean one full month's operations, and great
care should be exercised that more than one-twelfth of the actual amount
involved is not expended.
"Department directors and others who are under bond must understand
that there is, at the least, serious risk that they can incur personal
liability if state obligations unsupported by appropriations are in any
way authorized by them.

"I realize that the instructions contained in this notification
are necessarily lacking in the detail you would all appreciate and
require. However, I am advised by the Attorney General's Office that this
is a totally unprecedented situation and that there is no previous
experience upon which to rely, and that therefore all of your actions
should be guided accordingly.
"Naturally, as soon as we have additional information and guidelines,
we will advise. I am confident that the overwhelming majority of state
employees and officers will cooperate to the fullest by contributing
whatever time and service are necessary to ensure that the state does
not suffer during this wholly unnecessary crisis which has been forced
upon us.
"We very much hope that the legislature will decide to act
responsibly and not subject the state to these intolerable absurdities. "
