Weinberger said today.\n\"We are delighted that Reagan administration economies have, at\nleast in part, been responsible for holding expenditures below estimates,\nalthough, at the same time, it is disquieting to note that continued\ninflation has boosted revenues a bit above the predictions,\" he said.\n\"It should be noted,\" Weinberger continued, \"that the difference\nbetween the Department of Finance's May estimate of revenues and the\nfinal actual figure reported today by the controller is 1.1 percent\n($4.088 billion versus $4.136 billion).\n\"The difference between the expenditures as estimated in May by\nall the various agencies of the state (and reported to the Department of\nFinance) and the November actuals is 0.77 percent ($4.026 billion versus\n$3.995 billion), he said.\n\"Included in these small fractional changes from estimates to actual\nfigures is, as the controller has said, information that was not available\nat the time the agencies sent their reports of accrued expenditures to\nthe Department of Finance and the controller earlier this year,\"\nWeinberger explained.\n\"This certainly illustrates one of the major disadvantages of the\naccrual system which was adopted several years ago.\n\"An amusing sidelight to the controller's report is Assemblyman\nUnruh's 100 percent error in trying to estimate what the controller's\nfigures were going to be,\" Weinberger said.\n\"Last week in a letter to Alan Post, which somehow got to the press,\nUnruh predicted there was going to be a 'substantial increase' above the\nAugust surplus figures and that 'most, if not all of the increase is\nattributable to inflated estimates of the cost' of Medi-Cal.\n- 1 -\n\"As is getting to be the usual thing, Mr. Unruh was wrong on all\ncounts.\n\"The actual figure,\" Weinberger said, \"was up from August only\n$12.9 million out of some $4 billion general fund expenditures. And,\nnone of this figure was due to 'inflated estimates of the cost of\nMedi-Cal.'\n\"Errors of this magnitude by Mr. Unruh are getting to be commonplace.\nIt seems as if it were only last week that he was publicly announcing\na major error in the school bill, which on closer examination does not\nappear to be even a minor one, or, for that matter, one at all.\n\"A combination of ignorance, insufficient staff work and an\nincreasingly desperate need to try to gain political credit have led\nAssemblyman Unruh into a series of errors of such magnitude that\nMr. Post might, indeed, wish to audit him.\n\"Of course, part of Mr. Unruh's current problem is that he is\nfeeling the frustration common to all big spenders of the people's money\nduring the course of the governor's administration.\n\"Assemblyman Unruh says that if only he had known there was going\nto be a bigger surplus he would have made sure it was spent.\n\"Fortunately, the governor's tax reduction program prevailed,\"\nWeinberger said.\n########\n- 2 -\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Inmediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n11-3-69\n#603\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today appointed Andrew W.

LeMenager, Director\nTelephone: 445-4725\nNovember 4, 1969\nCharles R. LeMenager, director of the State Department of Housing\nand Community Development today announced that members of industry and\ngovernment have been invited to view a number of new concepts used in\nthe construction of housing units for low-income families at an Open\nHouse November 13 at the Butte County Housing Authority in Gridley.\nLeMenager said the project is being carried on by his department\nin several rural communities of California. Units have been constructed\nwhich emphasize both low cost and adaptability of the housing to the\nneeds of farm workers.\nHe noted that information gained through the construction of these\nprototype units is being used in metropolitan areas as well as rural\ncommunities.\nThe Open House scheduled for 2 p.m. aims to promote new concepts\nwhich industry can employ in the field of low-income housing. Governor\nReagan called the project \"an excellent example of industry-government\ncooperation to help provide low-income families with the opportunity\nto live in decent, sanitary housing not only in our cities, but also\nin the rural areas of California.\"\n########\nOFFICE OF THE GOVEF\nR\nRELEASE:\nmediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n11-5-69\n#605\nGovernor Ronald Reagan has announced that California will become\nthe first state in the nation to use a computer to instantly make and\nconfirm reservations for campers in state parks.\nThe new system, which becomes operational after January 5, will\nmake it possible for a vacationist to electronically reserve a campsite\nor select an alternate in a matter of seconds by simply pushing a few\nbuttons.\n\"This is another example of how creative thinking can provide the\nanswer to vexing problems, speed up efficiency and save the taxpayer\nmoney in the process,\" the governor pointed out.\n\"Under the old system, a vacationist could wait several weeks to\nlearn whether a campsite was available or he would take his family to\na state park only to learn that there was no space available.\n\"We have now set up what any citizen should be able to expect on a\nvacation--the opportunity to reserve in advance and know the space will\nbe there,\" he said.\nWilliam Penn Mott, Jr., Director of Parks and Recreation, predicted\nthat \"this space age technique will set up a unique precedent for\nconvenience and speed which I believe will be copied by other states\nacross the nation.\"\nA network of computer terminals located in key metropolitan areas\nof central and southern California will provide instant confirmation and\nreservations to 87 campgrounds in 70 units of the California State Park\nSystem, Mott reported.\nTo enable campers in all areas an equal opportunity to take\nadvantage of the new system, mail requests postmarked no earlier than\nJanuary 1 will be accepted and fed into the terminals installed at the\nDepartment of Parks and Recreation Headquarters in Sacramento. The\ncurrent service charge of $1 will remain the same.\nUnder the system, Mott said, a prospective camper will go to a\nlocal terminal in a bank, store or market. He will indicate the park\nand dates he desires and the type and size of his equipment.\nThe operator will place this information into the system and within\na few seconds a message will appear on a display screen indicating if\nthe space and dates are available or it will offer alternatives.\n-1-\n#605\nWhen the location and date are acceptable to the camper, he will\npay the full fees due plus a $1 service charge. With the reservation\nconfirmed, the machine will produce a ticket showing the name of the\npark, the date of the first night, the number of nights, site size and\nthe camper's name.\nReservations can be made all year long for dates throughout the\ncalendar year. The cutoff date to make campsite reservations in any\ncalendar week (Sunday through Saturday night) will be the Tuesday\npreceding that week.\nUnder the new system, reservations will not be made at parks.\nMail requests can be made only at the state headquarters office in\nSacramento and mail reservations must be made on a department reservation\nform which will be available in mid-December.\n\"About 6,600 State Park campsites in California, ranging from\nprimitive to sophisticated camping grounds, are available,\" Mott said.\n# # #\nWAS\n-2-\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNO\nRELEASE:\nST\nlay, November 9, 1969\nSacramento, Californi\nPL ASE GUARD AGAINST\nContact:\nPaul Beck\nPREMATURE RELEASE.\n445-4571\n11-6-69\n#606\nGovernor Ronald Reagan has announced the award of the largest\nconcession development contract in the history of the State Parks\nSystem as a \"major step toward meeting California's recreational needs.\"\nThe contract, between the Department of Parks and Recreation and\nthe Southern California Financial Corporation, calls for the joint\ndevelopment of $7 million worth of facilities in the Oroville Reservoir\nRecreation Area during the next five years.\n\"This agreement is another example of how team work between\ngovernment and private enterprise can meet the recreational needs of\nour growing state without placing additional burdens on the taxpayer,\"\nGovernor Reagan said.\nPointing out that the agreement will expedite development at\nOroville Reservoir, the governor said the plan can serve as a pattern\nfor other reservoir developments in the state water project.\nUnder the agreement, the Southern California Financial Corporation,\na subsidiary of City Investing Company of New York, will spend\napproximately $2 million in concession facilities at Oroville Reservoir.\nInitial projects amounting to approximately $561,000 are expected\nto be completed by June 1, 1971.\nTerms of the contract call for the concessionnaire to pay the\nstate 3 percent of gross receipts of the first $500,000, 4 percent of\nthe next $1,000,000 and 5 percent of everything over $1,500,000.\nAmong the developments planned at the Oroville Reservoir in the\nSpillway Ramp, Loafer Creek, Bidwell Canyon and Kelly Ridge areas are\nmarinas, restaurants, snack bars, food and supply stores, a \"trackless\ntrain,\" access roads, trailer camps, camping and picnicking areas, boat\nlaunching ramps, a system of trails, utilities, shower and laundry\nfacilities, gift shops, a visitor center complex and parking areas.\nMany of the state's facilities are already completed and the\nbalance are expected to be finished by June of 1971.\n###\nWAS\nSacramento, Californi\nContact:\nPaul Be\n445-4571\n11-6-69\n#607\nGovernor Ronald Reagan has announced the appointments of San\nFrancisco attorneys Samuel E.

Aspinall (D-Colorado),\nchairman of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, pointing\nout that \"the latitude would be available for your committee to provide\nthe funds necessary to consummate the Point Reyes\" park project if the\nmaximum resources ($200 million) provided by law were allocated to the\nLand and Water Conservation Fund. He noted that it was his understanding\nthat Aspinall's committee would meet to \"seek ways and means to resolve\nthis extremely important conservation issue.\"\nIn his letter to the President, the governor warned that landowners\nwithin the boundaries of the seashore are under \"extreme pressure\" to\nsell their property to subdividers.\n\"This would be a serious encroachment on the potential integrity\nof this magnificent National Seashore project.\" he said.\nGovernor Reagan said he has worked with Congressman Don Clausen,\n(R-Eureka), a member of the House committee, on the plan to preserve the\nseashore property and that the plan received the full support of\nCalifornia's Congressional delegation.\n###\nPJB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Saturday, November 15,1969\nSacramento, Californ\n!\nContact:\nPaul Be\n445-4571\n11-14-69\n#633\nGovernor Ronald Reagan, taking inventory of two and one-half\nyears of the \"Creative Society,\" tonight pointed to a long list of\naccomplishments that range from protection of the environment to tough\nanti-crime bills.\nIn a speech prepared for delivery at a Riverside County Republican\nFund-Raising dinner, the Governor also reported on economies that have\nbrought more than $1 billion in tax relief to Californians. And he\npointed out that California's program for mental hygiene has attracted\nworld-wide attention.\nListing the accomplishments of his administration in protection\nof the environment, Governor Reagan pointed out that California has:\n--Created the nation's first state-wide Air Pollution Control\nBoard and given it the power to enforce the strictest regulations in\nthe country.\n--Become the first state to set out to control noise pollution by\njet aircraft.\n--Passed the toughest water pollution control act in the nation.\nThe governor also reminded the audience that his administration has\nformed a joint transportation-resources committee to protect aesthetic and\necological values in the planning of all public works.\n\"Today, routes for highways and freeways are not chosen on the\nbasis of the shortest distance between two points,\" he said. \"The joint\ncommittee of the Parks and Recreation people and the Highway Commission\nsits down and plans so as to preserve and not destroy any ecological\nfeatures or beautiful areas.\" \"\nThe governor said his administration has passed some of the most\nsignificant crime legislation in more than a decade.\n\"Many of the measures passed are the same ones that we have been\ntrying to pass every year, only to have them buried in committee or\ndefeated on the floor.\n\"Once Republicans got a majority in the Assembly, we changed\nspeakers and started passing these laws,\" he said.\nAmong the anti-crime bills, he said, are the first anti-pornography\nbills in eight years and laws that crack down on dope peddlers and pushers,\nincrease the penalties for possession and sale of dangerous drugs, and\npermit school authorities to expel students caught selling drugs.\n-1-\n#633\n\"After we managed to gain a one vote Republican majority in\nboth houses, we were able to pass some laws to curb campus violence,\"\nhe said, including measures that withhold financial aid to students\nconvicted of illegal campus disturbances and allow a first degree murder\ncomplaint to be filed against anyone who plants a bomb that results in\na death.\n\"The opposition whose veracity decreases as its volume increases--\ncites crime statistics and charges that in the 1966 campaign, we boasted\nthat we would wipe out crime. Well, just for the record, we said we\nwould do something about crime--instead of wringing our hands and\nblaming society for every crime that was committed.\n\"In less than three years we have passed more effective anti-\ncrime legislation than they did in all the eight years that they were\nthere,\" he said.\nTurning to economies of the administration, the governor noted\nthat more than $382 million in new highway projects are being constructed\nahead of schedule with money that has been saved through economies in\nthe Public Works Department.\n\"A few weeks ago, the Comptroller General of the United States\ntold Congress that California was buying many of the same supplies the\nfederal government was buying and we were doing it for from 36 to 42\npercent less.\n\"We have moved from the ninth lowest among the states in the cost\nof government proportionate to the population, to the fifth lowest and\nwe intend to be the lowest,\" the governor said. \"We do not subscribe to\nthe philosophy of those who would rate government's quality on the\nbasis of how much it spends instead of how much it achieves.\"\nThe governor said that as a result of efforts by his administration\nand Republican legislators in Sacramento, the California taxpayer has\nreceived:\n--A $70 cash refund on his property taxes.\n--A permanent $750 per dwelling property tax exemption.\nDouble standard state income tax deductions to provide tax\nrelief for renters.\n--A special program of property tax for low income older citizens,\nand reduced rates in the lowest state income tax bracket.\n-2-\n#633\n-Abolition of the personal property tax on household effects.\n--A 30 percent reduction in the business inventory tax.\n--A 10 percent one-time rebate on individual income taxes next\nApril.\n\"All of this adde up to $633 million in direct tax relief, plus\nanother $651 million in indirect tax relief, including increased school\naid which otherwise would have had to be raised at the local level, If he\nsaid.\nIn the field of rehabilitation of the physically handicapped,\nCalifornia has moved from 11th to second among the states, he pointed\nout. \"In that one year, we trained, rehabilitated and put into self-\nsupporting jobs 14,450 of the physically handicapped.\"\nIn mental hygiene, California is spending more per patient than\nany other major state and has been recognized as number one in achievement\nfor its programs, the governor said.\n\"We are not only a model for other states but\nnations such as Japan, Switzerland, England and others have sent\ndelegations to California to dtudy our system of mental hygiene, to learn\nthe reasons behind our progress,\" he reported.\n# # #\n-3-\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Califo\nia\nContact: Paul Bec\n634\n445-4571 11-14-69\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nNovember 17, 1969\nthrough\nNovember 23, 1969\nMonday, November 17\n9 a.m.\nOpening Address to Conference on California's\nChanging Environment, Ambassador Hotel,\nLos Angeles.\n10 a.m.- Noon\nVisits to panel discussions.\nNoon\nIntroduction of Interior Secretary Walter\nHickel, the Conference Luncheon Speaker.\np.m.\nDepart for Sacramento\nOvernight - Sacramento\nTuesday, November 18\n10:00 a.m.\nPRESS CONFERENCE\nOvernight - Sacramento\nWednesday, November 19\n2:30 p.m.\nPresentation to Governor of Thanksgiving\nTurkey by California Turkey Industry\nFederation.\nOvernight - Sacramento\nThursday, November 20\np.m.\nDepart for Los Angeles\n7:15 p.m.\nReception and Dinner, Century Plaza\nEncino Room for Constitutional Officers,\nLos Angeles County Legislators and Statesmen\nClub\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nFriday, November 21\na.m.\nDepart Los Angeles for Regents meeting\nat Richardson Hall, University Extension\nCenter, San Francisco,\nafternoon\nDepart for Los Angeles\n6:45 p.m.\nParty for Los Angeles Press Corps, Bel Air\nHotel.
