So far it seems the majority Assembly leadership has been too\nbusy producing a road show aimed at getting publicity, rather than\npassing a balanced budget.\n\"The speaker has made plain his determination to raise taxes\nwithout really giving any consideration to the possibility that new\ntaxes may not be necessary.\n\"There is another issue, however, which is even more indicative\nof the lack of leadership. That issue is withholding. Almost a year\nand one half ago when I changed my position on withholding I explained\nthe reason for that change---that by this next fall the state's cash\nflow problem without withholding would require registered warrants or\ntax anticipation notes because there is not enough cash on hand or\nborrowing capability to pay the bills.\n\"This could have been avoided if withholding had been enacted\nand made effective July 1. A bill to do this was introduced January 19.\nThis date is of course now impossible and every passing day without\nwithholding makes it harder to meet the next deadline of January 1.\n\"Democrats and Republicans supported withholding last year.\nAnd no one in the leadership has said he opposes withholding this year.\n\"The Assembly Democratic leadership apparently is willing to\nplay fast and loose with the fiscal integrity of this state for purely\npartisan advantage. It is too late for withholding to solve our\nproblem this fall. We will rely on tax warrants or tax anticipation\nnotes this September. But passage of withholding instead of more talk\ncan assure we will not have the same fiscal crisis next year.\"\n# # #\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n5-4-71\n#266\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today sent the following letter to Frank\nCarlucci, Director of the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity in\nWashington, D.C. Copies of the letter were also forwarded to President\nRichard M. Nixon, Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew, U.S. Attorney General\nJohn N. Mitchell, and John Ehrlichman, counselor to the president.\n\"I am very much disturbed by recent actions of the Federal Office\nof Economic Opportunity in relation to the investigation of the California\nRural Legal Assistance program and by the treatment being afforded the\nCalifornia State Office of Economic Opportunity by Federal OEO.\n\"As you know, in January you made the determination that my veto of\nthe CRLA grant should not be overridden. Subsequently, you requested\nthat we agree to a full investigation of CRLA by a commission and to a\nnew short-term grant for a period of six months. We agreed to your\nrequests on the basis that this would be helpful in determining how best\nto provide legal services to the rural poor in the areas that have been\nserved by CRLA.\n\"Since that time the Federal OEO has repeatedly breached the\nunderstandings which had been agreed to by you and other federal\nrepresentatives and by representatives of my office and the state OEO.\nMembers of your office have made false and misleading statements to the\nnews media with respect to the firm understanding which was reached\njointly by the State of California and the federal government. Further,\nthe selection process and the orientation of the commission was not\nconducted in accordance with our understandings. This has resulted in\nthe commission members being confused and misinformed as to the nature\nand procedures of their task, and has severely hindered them in carrying\nout their responsibilities. I am enclosing a copy of a letter concerning\nthis problem which I have sent to each member of the commission.\n\"If testimony presented before the commission during the past week\nis true, there has also been a lack of objectivity and fairness within\nFederal OEO in reviewing my veto of CRLA and the reasons supporting it.\nThis has even included threats to hold up the granting of federal funds\nfor other projects totally unrelated to CRLA, unless California altered\nits position.\n\"These actions by Federal OEO, which are clearly detrimental to the\nbest interests of the citizens of California, apparently have been taken\nin an effort to curry favor with the Poverty Law Establishment, and to\nappease certain ultra-liberal members of congress. who consistently oppose\nthe president on every issue\n#266\n\"The most recent misconduct is the premature release to the news\nmedia of a report criticizingthe state OEO, in violation of an agreement\nthat such a report would not be made public until after California\nofficials had had the opportunity to respond with corrections of numerous\nfactual misstatements and erroneous conclusions contained in that report.\nThis premature release, and the resulting adverse publicity, seem\ncalculated to create a smoke screen to mask the revelation of Federal\nOEO's improprieties in regard to the commission investigating CRLA, and\nto aid those who are seeking to abolish any effective controls or\nsafeguarding of OEO funds and programs within our state.\n\"It is interesting to observe that our state OEO has been 'reviewed,\n'evaluated,' and 'audited' by the federal government four times in the\npast four months commencing immediately after the governor's veto of\nthe CRLA grant. We are informed that this recent attention is greater\nthan that shown any other state, a fact that raises at least a suspicion\nof bureaucratic harassment.\n\"At all times in our dealings with Federal OEO, the State of\nCalifornia has acted in good faith, believing that the agreements to\nwhich we were a party would be honored by you and your subordinates.\nWe have been repeatedly disappointed to find that this has not been\nthe case.\n\"I am requesting that you take immediate action to rectify this\nsituation, to insure that further understandings with our officials will\nbe honored and to prevent further instances of misconduct of the type\noutlined above. By separate letter to the president, I am requesting\nthat a meeting be set up which will include you, representatives of my\noffice, and your superiors, to establish necessary safeguards to govern\nthe relationships between the Federal OEO and the State of California so\nthat these types of incidents will not occur again. It is essential that\ncorrective action be taken so that we can act together for the best\ninterests of all the citizens of California, including those whom the\nEconomic Opportunity Act was intended to benefit.\"\n######\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n5-4-71\nBecause of business reverses of Governor\nReagan's investments, he owed no state income\ntax for 1970.\n# # #\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE:\nImmediate\nSacramento, Califor a\nContact:\nPaul Back\n445-4571\n5-4-71\n#267\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today that the federal\ngovernment will allow California to try token co-payment by Medi-Cal\npatients.\n\"The Department of Health, Education and Welfare has notified\nthe director of the Medi-Cal program, Dr. Earl Brian, that it is ready\nto grant the waivers we need to give 2.5 million welfare patients some\nresponsibility for their health care,\" he said.\nGovernor Reagan praised the Nixon administration for giving\nCalifornia the \"go-ahead we have been seeking in our efforts to put\nthe co-payment feature into effect.\n\"This federal cooperation deserves the thanks of all\nCalifornians concerned with the taxes they must pay and the cost of\ntheir own health care,\" the governor said.\nHe noted that Dr. Brian \"has played a key role in the\ndesign of the co-payment feature\" in Assembly Bill 949, the Medi-Cal\nreform Plan introduced by Assemblyman William Campbell (R-Hacienda Heights\nHe called upon the legislature \"to act swiftly so that we can\nput the co-payment provision into effect.\"\nUnder the legislation, those on Medi-Cal with no outside\nincome or other resources would not be required to make token co-\npayments. All other Medi-Cal patients would be required to pay $1\nfor each office visit to physicians, dentists and others, and the same\namount for prescriptions and eyeglasses.\nRegional HEW Commissioner Philip Schafer wrote that federal\nwaivers would be granted if the state enacts the legislation and\nmeets\n/ certain other minor administrative requirements.\nThese include questionnaires and statistical data to\nmeasure the effect of the co-payment requirement.\nSecretary of Human Relations James M. Hall said it would be\n\"the first time that any state has received an exception to the federal\nregulations prohibiting co-payment in the five years of the program.\"\nGovernor Reagan said that the state has only to supply survey\nquestionnaires and letters of assurance concerning data for HEW appraisal\nto meet all requirements except the enabling legislation.\n-1-\n#267\nState's\nThe/basic proposal already has been submitted and preceded\nthe HEW letter which said in part, \"We are prepared to approve the\n(co-payment) project and thereby grant waiver of certain federal\nrequirements\" if the study data and legislation is forthcoming.\nThe Assembly bill also seeks $3 per day for hospital\nor nursing home care from 550,000 indigents who would be covered under\nthe reform program but who are not on welfare.\nWelfare patients would not be required to co-pay for hospital\nand nursing home care.\n# # #\nEJG\n-2-\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Calif nia\nContact:\nPaul beck\n445-4571\n5-5-71\n#268\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment\nof Sheldon D.

I am of the firm opinion the people of this state are running\nout of patience with statements of who will solve problems, of whether\ncertain legislators will support you or me on crucial votes, of whether\none side or the other will win some sort of artificial battle to be\nwaged in the public press.\n\"I would hope, therefore, that before these needless charges and\ncounter charges go any further, the leadership of both parties in the\nState Senate and Assembly could meat with me to decide on how best we'\ncan solve our people's problems, not for our benefit, but for theirs.\n\"It is my suggestion that we meet in my office Tuesday morning at\n10 .0 'clock, or at another time if that is inconvenient.\n\"I await, as I am sure the people of California await, your answer. \"\n######\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, Califor .a\nContact:\nMEMO TO _dE PRESS\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n5-6-71\nGovernor Reagan will issue a statement at 11:15 a.m. in the\ncouncil room in the governor's office.\nFor your planning purposes the governor will leave immediately\nafter his statement and will not respond to questions.\n######\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n5-6-71\n#272\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:\n\"It is difficult for me to understand or accept the necessity for\nthe statement I am about to make.\n\"Having left an occupation in which my earnings each year were\nseveral times greater than the salary I receive in my present position\nit seemed self-evident I had not sought this office for any financial\nadvantage nor has there been any.\n\"Day before yesterday a question was raised with regard to my tax\nliability for the year just past. You had an almost immediate and\nfactual answer to that question without any attempt at evasion.\nApparently that was not enough and some have attempted to make more of\nthis situation than is warranted by the facts. Indeed, some have tried\nto intimate that somehow there was even a question of wrongdoing.\n\"With all the uproar that has followed I want the people of California\nto have the facts so there can be no doubt in anyone's mind.\n\"I have never avoided taxes or failed to pay an income tax owed in my\nentire adult life. For a number of years my annual tax was consideraly\nmore than my present gross earnings. With particular reference to the\nCalifornia income tax, during the five years I have served as governor\nI have paid state income taxes totalling $91,128.22.\n\"However, last year rather trying year for a number of people\ninvestment losses in relation to earnings were such that while I still\nowed and paid a federal income tax I did not have a state tax liability.\nFrankly I hope it does not happen again---not that I enjoy paying taxes\nbut because I do not enjoy losing money.\n\"Some of you have already noted in your stories that my tax reform\nproposal last year advocated a minimum state income tax. I still advocat\nsuch a measure. Senator Moscone was a leader in the opposition to such\na reform.\n\"These last 48 hours have been an example of cheap partisan politics\nunparalleled in the years I have been here in the capitol.\n\"It is time for the leadership of the majority party to actually\ndisplay some leadership and get down to the business of offering\nsolutions to the problems of tax reform, welfare reform and balancing\nthe budget as well as holding the line on government costs and taxes.\nPhoney partisan politics will not hide the fact that this session of\nthe legislature has accomplished very little and has avoided dealing\nwith much of what the people have a right to expect.\"\n#####\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californi\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n5-6-71\n#273\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of\nfive new members to the California Advisory Commission on Marine and\nCoastal Resources.\nThey are:\nGeorge M.

It\nlimits the averate daily attendance for work experience pupils to one\nunit per pupil per day. The bill also deletes an obsolete provision\nfrom the education code.\n\"Under current statutes, only time spent under the supervision of a\ncertificated instructor may be counted toward the ADA of high school\nstudents in work experience programs. Consequently, if a student is to\nbe credited for any time spent on the job, a certificated instructor must\nbe on the premises. This measure would permit high school districts with\npupils participating in the work experience program to count time spent\nby the pupil on the job toward his daily ADA even though no certificated\ninstructor is on the premises.\n\"While this bill might possibly permit more efficient use of\ncertificated instructors' time or even reduce a school district's\nrequirement for instructors, there is a very real possibility that state\ncosts associated with this measure would be substantial. I do not\nbelieve that the potential fiscal impact of AB-110 was fully considered\nby the legislature since it was not heard by any fiscal committee.\n\"I recommend that the legislature consider establishing a pilot\nprogram in which established guidelines are used to evaluate the\neffectiveness and fiscal impact of the approach mandated by AB-110.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,\"\n######\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Im' diate\nSacramento, Californ.\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n5-10-71\n#280\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of\nTimothy W.

Every major plan now being discussed contains elements\nof our plan.\n\"We have a program that is workable a plan that provides a\nsweeping change of direction for the welfare cost spiral that has pushed\nstate and local governments to the edge of bankruptcy.\n\"We cannot afford to delay action on welfare reform just because\nWashington is talking about the same subject. They have been talking\nabout it for several years now and some of their previous efforts at\n'reform' created the most outrageous abuses we are now trying to correct.\n\"California's legislature cannot abdicate its responsibility to\ncorrect what we know to be a badly constructed welfare program which is\nnot achieving its purpose and which is consuming vast sums of revenue\nthat would be better spent for other vital programs.\n\"Opponents of our welfare reform say they prefer the tax increase.\nI believe the people prefer welfare reform.

El Centro Witnesses Listed In Bill McCable\nMemo Of March 16, 1971.\n(1) Ventura Huerta, Project Director\nClinica De Salubridad De Campesinos\n1166 \"K\" Street\nBrawley, California 92227\nMr. Huerta has a Master's degree in\nPublic Health from the University of\nCalifornia and is the Director of a.\nmigrant clinic for migrant farmworkers\nin Brawley, California set up with HEW\nmoney. This clinic was set up largely\nthrough the efforts of the El Centro\nCRLA office which documented its need\nin the face of strong opposition from\nthe Imperial County Board of Super-\nvisors and the Imperial County Medical\nSociety. CRLA also represented the\nclinic and the Casa De Amistad, the\nlocal funding grantee for the clinic,\nin a lawsuit instituted by Brawley\ndoctors to stop the funding of the\nclinic.\nOur feeling is that some staff member\nof the clinic should be a witness but\nthat it probably should not be Mr. Huerta\nas Mr. Huerta lacks the stage presence\nin articulation to be a convincing wit-\nness, (See resumes below regarding\nDoctors Flannagan and Thompson of the\nclinic staff.)\nBay U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan\n5010-100\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 2.\nMemo To:\nMarty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2, 1971\n(2) Dr. David Flannagan\n665 Maryland Avenue\nBrawley, California 92227\nDr. Flannagan is one of the three staff doctors\nat the Brawley migrant clinic mentioned above.\nFrom the point of view of articulation and\nmiddle class \"apple pie\" appearance, Dr. Flannagan\nwould be the ideal witness to testify to CRLA's\ninvolvement with the clinic and related matters.\nHe is quite soft-spoken and articulate and can\ntestify to the fact that the clinic would probably\nnot exist without CRLA, that the clinic is very\nnecessary and can do so in a very convincing,\nsoft-spoken, middle class way.\nThe basic question probably comes down to a choice\nbetween him and Dr. Thompson mentioned in the\nfollowing paragraph. Dr. Thompson is probably\nnot as poised or as \"apple pie\" looking as\nDr. Flannagan nor, perhaps, as softly articulate.\nHowever, he was present in Imperial County during\nthe period of time from August 1 until Oct. 1,\n1970, which were the critical months in the funding\nof the clinic and can testify in more detail to\nour actual involvement during those months than\nDr, Flannagan can.\n(3) Dr. Thompson, Robert\nClinica De Salubridad De Campesinos\n1166 \"K\" Street\nBrawley, California 92227\nSee resumes of Ventura Huerta and Dr. David\nFlannagan above. Basically there is nothing\nmore to add here. Dr. Thompson is an Internist\nwho prior to joining the migrant clinic in Brawley\nwas with The Good Ship Hope in Columbia. He is\nable to testify to more of the early facts about\nCRLA's involvement with the clinic. However, he\nis also more excitable and does not present as\nmuch of a middle class image as Dr. David Flannagan\ndoes,\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 3.\nMemo To: Marty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2; 1971\n(4) Michael English\nImperial County Welfare Department\n1046 Commercial Street\nEl Centro, California 92243\nOur feeling is that basically here we basically\nhave a choice between Michael English and his\nwife, Donna English, both of whom are Social\nWorkers for the Imperial County Welfare Depart-\nment. Both of them know the CRLA \"law and order\"\nsong and dance by heart and in addition can\ntestify to the innumerable service which we\nhandle and also to the cooperative arrangement\nwe have with the Imperial County Welfare Depart-\nment in regard to divorces and adoptions. (We\nde default divorces for people on welfare if\nan initial questionnaire is filled out by the\nSocial Worker at the Imperial County Welfare\nDepartment, this amounts to approximately 50\nto 100 per year. ) I think, Donna English would\nbe the superior witness in this regard as\nMichael's beard and hair are probably contrary\nto the image we are trying to project. Donna\nexudes loving, middle class concern for the\nwelfare of poor people and as mentioned above\nknows by heart the sorgand dance. In addition,\nDonna is a member of the El Centro CRLA Advisory\nCommittee. However, I don't think, she is the\nwitness we would prefer to have in that regard.\n(5) Mr.\nBrawley, California\nMr.\nis a very convincing, soft-\nspoken witness on the stand (having observed him\nonce in the Brawley doctor's lawsuit) and in addition\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 4.\nMemo To:\nMarty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2, 1971\nwill basically say anything we tell him to. He\nis able to testify from first-hand knowledge\nand very convincingly that the presence of CRLA\nattorneys in regard to the controversial Brawley\nButton suit saved that campus from violence since\nthe Mexican-American students have come to trust\nthe CRLA lawyers, etc., etc. and are learning to\nuse the American system of justice, etc., etc.\nbecause of CRLA lawyers. Again, I stress,\nwill say anything we want him to.\n(6)\nCity Councilman\nMr.\nis probably one of our most potentially\nimpressive witnesses. He is very soft-spoken, very\narticulate and in addition to being able to testify\nto innumerable individual service cases he has\nreferred to our office, he can give a very heart-\nwarming pitch on his attempts in\nas a City\nCouncilman to convince young people to use the system\nand its laws to create change rather than resorting\nto violence and to the fact that because of CRLA he\nhas been having increasing success in so doing. Again,\nI think, he would be a must as a witness and by and\nlarge will testify to anything we want him to.\n(7) Mr.\nCity Councilman also\nCommission\nof Imperial County\nMuch of what I have already said in regard to\nis also true of\nHe will\ntestify to anything we wish him to along the \"law\nand order' lines. Also and, perhaps, very important\nis that he will testify to the fact that while the\nUnler reports purported to give the impression that\nthe Imperial County Economic Opportunity Commission\nopposed CRLA neither he nor the Director of the\nEOC were ever contacted by any member of the Uhler\nCommission. One draw-back on\nis that\nhis son,\nis a CRLA attorney in the\nSanta Rosa office, which gives some basis for\nimpeachment of his testimony.\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 5.\nMemo To:\nMarty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2, 1971\n(8)\nImperial County Poverty Program\nI would say that as a representative of the\npoor Mexican-American,\nis probably\nthe most convincing witness we have. He\ntestified on the stand in San Diego in our\nBrawley Doctor's suit and was absolutely\nsensational as Marty Glick will, I am sure,\nagree. Faced with some fairly difficult\ncross-examination questions, he was totally\nunflustered, humble and very, very effective.\nHe can testify as to individual service cases\nhe has sent to us and as to the necessity of\nour involvement in the clinic issue and to\nour very, very close ties with the Economic\nOpportunity Office in terms of helping them\nout with service cases.\n(9)\nEl Centro, California 92243\nMr.\nis in a very delicate political\nposition as he is directly under the Board of\nSupervisors of Imperial County. He would make\na convincing witness; however, I would prefer\nnot to put him on the spot since we can probably\nobtain the same basic testimony through Willie\nMoreno, the Chairman of the Board of Directors\nand through Ernie Caro, one of their Program\nDirectors. However, to the extent it is important\nI am sure we could probably get Mr.\nto\ntestify in regard to the fact that he was not\ncontacted at all during the whole Uhler investi-\ngation despite the fact that one of his letters\nwas used to give the impression that the El Centro\nCRLA was opposed by EOC.\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 6.\nMemo To:\nMarty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2, 1971\n(10) Colin O'Brian, Judge Justice Court\nPost Office Box 7\nWestmorland, California\nMr. O'Brian is very enthusiastically pro\nCRLA despite the fact that his appointment\nas Justice Court Judge was through a County\nSupervisor who is anti-CRLA. I have not\napproached him about the possibility of\ntestifying. He might; however, it would\nput him very much on the spot politically.\nIf it is necessary and if there is a lack of\njudges to testify, I will be happy to contact\nhim.\n(B;) ADDITIONAL WITNESSES NOT MENTIONED IN THE LETTER\nOF WILLIAM McCABE:\n(1) Bonnie Best King\n279 \"J\" Street\nBrawley, California 92227\nI would suggest that Mrs. King is a \"must\" as\na witness. She was an EMR teacher at Brawley\nUnion High School until June of 1970 and was\nan EMR teacher at the very time of the CRLA\nstatewide EMR cláss-action. She is a lifelong\nRepublican and very, very articulate (her only\nproblem is that she sometimes talks too much).\nShe is able to testify very convincingly to the\nvalidity of the EMR suit and more important to\nthe fact that on one occasion that she remembers\nvery explicitly, the intervention of CRLA\nattorneys at Brawley Union High School was the\nsingle cause of some students who thought they\nhad a gripe but were basically just wising off,\nreturning to school solely on the basis of the\nfact that they trusted the judgment of CRLA\nthat they were wrong. This involved students of\nMrs. King who were basically trying to concoct\na racial issue where one did not exist. CRLA\nattorney, Robert Johnstone, spoke with Mrs. King\nand after speaking to the students they all re-\nturned to school and dropped the issue and she\nwill very convincingly testify to this. Also,\nshe has expressed a willingness to testify to a\nsomewhat broader issue that maybe important but\nmaybe beyond the scope of what we are trying to\ndo. I think, however, it could be done and done\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 7.\nMemo To:\nMarty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2, 1971\nconvincingly. This is the issue of CRLA\n\"stiring up racial turmoil where none existed\nbefore\". I am sure she would be willing to\ntestify that racial discrimination has existed\nin the past, that it exists today and even\nwhere it does not exist its fisticial effects\nin education and job. opportunity exists, and\nthat the effect of CRLA, if any, in this area\nhas been to calm the flames of an imminent\nexplosion and to help to show potentially\ndissident individuals that the American system\nof democracy is worth preserving, etc., etc.\n(2) The Rev. Oscar Newby\nNeighborhood House\n506 East Fourth Street\nCalexico, California 92231\nThe Rev. Newby is a very sincere, 50-year-old\nMinister who runs the Neighborhood House in\nCalexico, which is basically a community center\nfor various poor-person, oriented activities.\nHe would particularly be able to testify to the\nhelp he has gotten from us in setting up a drug-\ntreatment hotline in the county. We have incor-\nporated this group for him and since drug abuse\nprevention is always a winner, I think, he would\nbe important to put on the stand. He could also\ntestify to individual cases which have been\nreferred to us, etc.\n(3)\nor\nThese are two very articulate student leaders in\nImperial Valley. They would say anything we would\nwant them to and have basically already learned\nthe CRLA song and dance by heart.\nMr.,\nis a Vietnam veteran also and can\nprobably give some good heart-throb stuff obout\ntrying to keep kids within the system.\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 8.\nMemo To: Marty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2, 1971\nII. MEMORANDUM ON THE UHLER CHARGES RELATING TO THE LOCAL OFFICE:\nThe only things which should be included in addition to the\nrebuttal already submitted by CRLA are as follows:\n(A) INVOLVEMENT OF EL CENTRO COMMUNITY WORKER, HECTOR REYES,\nWITH THE UNITED FARMWORKERS ORGANIZING COMMITTEE:\n(This should self-destruct within 30 seconds after being\nread.) For the past four years Mr. Reyes has basically\nworked fulltime out of the United Farmworkers office in\nCalexico. Our official position on this, of course, is\nnot that his time has been that extensive in that office\nbut that as a good community worker he uses that office\nas an outreach on the basis that hundreds of poor farm-\nworkers pass through it every day and he is able to\ncommunicate with them in regard to their legal problems\nhe then refers to CRLA. Since the refunding crsis,\nMr. Reyes has not been spending time in that office.\nHowever, one potentially embarrassing feature of his\ntime there is a large number of telephone calls from that\noffice to the Delano UFWOC office which are billed to\nour telephone. Our position on this is that we never\nauthorized it and that since we discovered this we\nissued immediate instructions to the Telephone Company\n(I believe last December) that we would accept no more\nbillings to this number on third party calls and that\nonly credit calls would be accepted. From December to\nFebruary, 1971, a number of credit calls from the\nCalexico Office to Delano on Hector's credit card #\nwere recorded. Hector has reported his credit card as\nstolen and a new card has been issued and basically our\nofficial position on this is that someone must have\ngotten a hold of his card. This has not come out yet\nand hopefully it will not. There is no way that we can\ndeny Hector's presence, at the farmworkers' office and,\nI think, our best approach to this is to readily admit\nthat he did spend time there in an effort to keep in\ncontact with the farm working poor and refer their\nindividual legal problems to us. In addition, as the\nreport reflects, he was very actively involved in the\ncanteloupe picketing activity in June of 1970 and has\non\noccasion been a speaker at a Cesar Chavez rally.\nIn addition a memo was\ngiven to Hector requidy\nuse of lus credit good\n(copy attach\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 9.\nMemo To:\nMarty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2, 1971\nThe rallies have always been on Sunday to my knowledge\nand as to the canteloupe picketing, you have our res-\nponse in the rebuttal. He, like Mr. Johnstone of this\noffice and Mr. Banaga, took vacation time during that\nwhole period.\n(B) MECHA AT IMPERIAL VALLEY COLLEGE\nThe only other potentially dangerous, new charges that\ncould be made in regard to this office would involve\nan incident which was developed at Imperial Valley\nCollege over the past six weeks. MECHA, the student\ngroup of the college has been picketing the student\ncafeteria in an effort to get them to use only UFWOC\nlettuce. On March 25th, MECHA was suspended from the\ncampus and this has received alot of publicity in the\nlocal papers and there is apossibility that there maybe\nsome student activities out there which could argueably\nbe called demonstrations. We are attorneys for poor\nindividual members of MECHA in this matter. However,\nwe have witnesses to the effect that the basic effort\nhas been to convince the students to remain peaceful,\n\"law and order\", etc.\nI am informed that at the time of their last picketing\na week ago a State Investigator from Governor Reagon's\nOffice investigating CRLA'was at the campus; perhaps,\nin the hopes that there would be some violence he could\nget pictures of. However, it was all totally peaceful\nand within the first amendment so he was probably dis-\nappointed and he was probably also disappointed because\nno CRLA person was present.\nOur position on this, of course, is that we are repre-\nsenting individual poor students on a First Amendment\nissue uñlrelated to Chavez or the lettuce boycott.\nOur further position is that this is pending litigation\nand, therefore, we are not free to talk about it, But,\nwe do infact, represent individual members of MECHA\nin this dispute with the Imperial. Valley College.\nCALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE\nPage 10.\nMemo To:\nMarty Glick\nFrom:\nRobert B. Johnstone\nDate:\nApril 2, 1971\nIII. CRLA INVOLVEMENT WITH THE LOCAL BAR ASSOCIATION:\nAs already documented in the support letters, the President\nand Vice-President of the Imperial County Bar Association\nhave written letters of support of CRLA. The President is\nMr. John Duddy and the Vice-President is Mr. John Pattie.\nIn addition, and which does not appear in our rebuttal but\nwhich is relevant to the implication in the Unler report\nthat the Bar Association opposes us, local CRLA attorneys\nare very active with the Bar Association in the following\nrespects:\n(A,) CRLA attorney, Robert B. Johnstone, was on Friday,\nApril 2, 1971, unanimously elected by the Imperial\nCounty Bar Association to be an alternate delegate\nto the up-coming State Bar Convention in September.\n(B.) CRLA attorney, Fred H. Altshuler, is the Program\nChairman of the Imperial County Bar Association.\n(C.) CRLA attorney, John Denvir, is a member of the Legal\nServices Committee of the Imperial County Bar\nAssociation.\n(D.) CRLA attorney, Robert B. Johnstone, is a member of the\nScholarship Committee of the Imperial County Bar\nAssociation and, in fact, this committee was formed\nby the Imperial County Bar Association at the request\nof Mr. Johnstone pursuant to a State Bar resolution\nendorsing the concept of local Bar scholarships for\nminority students.\nTo give you a complete picture, including negative aspects,\nthe Bar Association at its February meeting did adopt by\na vote of something like 15-4 or 18-4 the Uhler Judicare\nresolution. This was the standard form that came out of\nUhler's office so I don't think it will be necessary to en-\nclose a copy at this time. Please let me know if you want\none.\n*** As Doug McDaniel of Imperial County was one of the attorneys\nwho attempted to commandeer the first commission hearings\nand as he and his partner, Chuck Pinney, have been the stalwart\nover any CRLA forces in the Imperial County Bar Association\ntime immemorial. It should be brought to your attention that\nwe have a very interesting document with Mr. McDaniel's signa-\nture on it. This is a Lawyer's Reference Service referral slip\ndating from the time when we administered that program in which\na domestic matter was referred to Mr. McDaniel's office. It\nwas returned under Mr. McDaniel's signature with a statement\nthat domestic matters were not his line of business and he has\nbasically a corporate practice and please do not refer anymore\nto him, which is very interesting in view of the fact that the\nShippolith of the Bar Association down here is that we don't\nhandle the real legal problems of the poor such as divorces.\nA copy of this referral slip is attached. Also attached is\nan article from the local newspaper on the day following the\nfirst commission hearing when McDaniel attempted to show that\nhe was forcibly ejected and not allowed to testify at the\ncommission hearings. This should make for some interesting\ncross-examination.\nROBERT J. JOHNSTONE\nRBJ:mn;db\nHector Reyes\n300 61 2973\nP.

We have\nasked them to provide approximately 250 persons.\n\"The site of a second Ecology Center has been chosen. It will\nbe the Calaveras Ecology Center four miles southeast of Angels Camp\nin facilities currently used by the Vallecito Conservation Camp. The\nselection of Tehama Ecology Center, 25 miles east of Red Bluff, was\nannounced by the Department of Conservation earlier. And the site of\na third center will probably be announced in the near future.\n\"The monthly allowance to be paid members of the Corps will be\nincreased from $15 to $40 a month. This is possible because of\nadjustments made within the allocations set aside to operate each\nof the ecology centers.\n\"As I noted when we first announced creation of the Ecology\nCorps, it is the first of its kind in the United States and already,\nseveral other states have inquired about our program.\n\"I am very pleased with the response to this positive approach\nto a problem.

Paul Beck\n445-4571\n5-19-71\n#309\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today sent the following telegram to\nFrank Carlucci, director of the federal Office of Economic Opportunity:\n\"Events of the past several days relating to the conduct of\nhearings by the federal Office of Economic Opportunity Commission\ninto the activities of CRLA are deeply disturbing to me and should be\nto you.\n\"Indeed, in recent weeks it has become increasingly clear that\nthe procedures adopted by this commission are having the effect of\nmuzzling witnesses whose testimony would otherwise shed valuable light\non the practices and procedures which have been and are being engaged\nin by CRLA personnel.\n\"I regret to say that most of the fault for the current con-\nfusing state of affairs must lie at the doorstep of federal CEO which\nmisinformed the commission members as to their proper role in these\nproceedings---to investigate fully all of the facts pertaining to\nCRLA's activities. That role was understood at the time the State of\nCalifornia agreed to the creation of a commission. The firm under-\nstanding we had with the federal government--your office and the\nDepartment of Justice--has been breached repeatedly in recent months.\n\"Your instructions to the CRLA investigating commission\napparently have allowed them to publicly announce their findings\npiecemeal each day, instead of in a report to you. Such announcements\nare being made without consideration of available information not\ncontained in the Uhler report.\n\"Thus far this week, a number of witnesses desiring to testify\nto their knowledge of CRLA's activities have simply given up in\nfrustration after being exposed to the way in which the hearings are\nbeing conducted.\n\"One woman, a former CRLA employee in the Salinas office,\nbecame 80 disgusted after having observed first-hand 'the commission's\nbiased limitations on testimony' that she refused to subject herself\nto the 'personal aggravations, harassment and frustrations of such a\nsham.' In a telegram to the commission, she also said, 'I find that\nthe commission is not interested in learning the whole truth,' calling\nthe proceedings 'a farce and an insult to the American system of\njustice. She is the same woman who was subjected to pressure by CRLA\n-1-\n#309\nattorney Robert Gnaizo several months ago--in fo separate telephone\ncalls in one evening--to change her story about CRLA's improper\nactivities.\n\"As you may know, a number of private attorneys have stepped\nforward to present witnesses and other evidence. They have requested\nthe opportunity to cross-examine CRLA's witnesses, but the commission\nhas steadfastly refused their request. It is interesting to note that\nCRLA has vigorously opposed their motions to cross-examine witnesses.\n\"In addition, the commission has failed to give adequate notice\nto witnesses who have wished to testify. In a number of cases,\ninvitations from the commission to testify were not received until the\nday the testimony was requested, causing some to be unable to appear\nbecause of lack of adequate time to adjust their personal schedules.\nJust two days ago, private attorneys for a number of Salinas area\nwitnesses were not provided information as to which witnesses were\nbeing called, or the order of matters to be considered, until the\nactual beginning of the proceedings Monday in Salinas.\n\"Moreover, the commission has imposed a virtual gag rule on\nnon-CRLA witnesses, limiting their testimony only to narrow items in\nthe State OEO report on CRLA. Any new information--however pertinent--\nis being ruled out of order.\n\"Because of the failure of federal OEO to make clear to the\ncommission its proper mandate from the very beginning--despite the firm\nunderstanding reached between my office and the federal government\nmonths ago--this commission has adopted procedures which are preventing\nit from obtaining all the facts about CRLA. And, in so doing, the\ncommission has tied its hands in such a manner that the truth cannot\nand will not be known---without a major change in approach.\n\"I urge you to clarify immediately your instructions to the\ncommission in such a manner as to require that its findings be filed\ndirectly with you, all in the same context, and that the commission\nmembers avail themselves of all offered evidence or testimony, even if\nit proves CRLA is not providing legal services to the poor.\"\n# # #\n-2-\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE RESS\nSacramento, Californ\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n5-20-71\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR PRESS RELEASE #308\nOn page 2, Press Release 308, under the heading\nLabor and Management please add:\nJ.

The southern halves of the present\nCentral Valley and Lahontan regions would be consolidated and called the\nSan Joaquin-High Desert Region.\nThe present Central Valley Region would be divided along the\nStanislaus River watershed in Tuolumne County and the Hetch Hetchy\nAqueduct in Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. The present Lahontan\nRegion would be divided along the Alpine County-Mono County line.\nIn addition, the plan would extend the San Francisco Bay Water\nQuality Control Region eastward to include all of the industrialized\nportion of Contra Costa County.\nGovernor Reagan said the great distances now involved in\nadministering the Central Valley and Lahontan regions prevent the staffs\nof the regional water quality control boards responsible for these areas\nfrom spending as much time as they need with communities and industries\nto obtain compliance with state water quality standards.\nThere are over 12,000 individual waste dischargers in the present\nCentral Valley Region.\n- 1 -\n# 312\nBy making the r. ions more geographically compact, access to\nregional water quality board meetings by board staffs and the public\nalso will be improved.\nThe governor said the types of water quality problems in the\nnorthern and southern parts of the Valley make this reorganization a\nlogical division of responsibility.\nThe plan gives priority to present members of the Central Valley\nand the Lahontan Boards in the naming of members to the two new boards.\nEach regional water quality control board is composed of nine members,\nsix having specific backgrounds and two with special competence in\nwater quality.\nThe heavy industrial and municipal wastes in Contra Costa County\nare discharged into the western Delta currently under jurisdiction of\nthe present Central Valley Regional Board. These discharges directly\naffect the quality of the water flowing into San Francisco Bay and are\ntherefore of great importance to the San Francisco Bay Region.\nThe boundaries of the other six California Regional Water Quality\nControl Boards are not affected by the reorganization plan.\n#####\nEJG\n- 2 -\nSacramento Valley\nFIGURE I\nRegion\nNorth Const Region\n0\nR\nE\nG\n0\nN\nSTATE OF CALIFORNIA\nDEL WORTE\nEXISTING\nSISKIYOU\nWATER QUALITY CONTROL\nREGIONS\n1\nAs defined by Section 13200 of the\nCalifornia Water Code.\nSHASTA\nB\n1\nS.F.Bay Boy\nRegion\n5\nTEHAMA\n2\nLahantan Region\nPLUMAS\n-\nMENDOCINO\nBUTTE\nGLENN\nSIERRA\nCentral Velley\n6\nNEVADA\nRegion\n3\n$\nLACER\nColorado\nCentral Const\nmy\nRiverBasin\nSONOMA\nEL DORADO\nYOLO\nLATATE\nRegion\n8\n7\nRegion\nI\nDOR\n1\nL.A\nAND\nRegion\n9\nMARIM\nACALAVERRE\nCOM/TRA\nSAN\nTOOLUMNE\nSanta\nJOAQUIN\nMONO\nFRANCISCO\nS.F.\nAnn Region\n2\nALAMED\nWHATEO\n4\nSan Diego Region\nRegion\nSANTA\nCLARA\nAND\n0\nYO\nD\nMONTERET DENITO 3\nHid\nTULARE\n6\nDescrt Region\nSAN\n1\nLUIS\nOBISPO\nKERN\nSAN BERNAP\nSANTA\nBARBARA\nVENTURE\nLOS\nANGELES\nFORAN\nRIVERSIDE\n7\nA R I Z N\nM\nP\nE\nR\nSAN\nD\nI E G O\nWATER QUALITY CONTROL REGIONS\nAs proposed to be reorganized,\nM E X I C o\nNote: Proposed change in western Delta\nis shown on Figure II\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n5-20-71\n#313\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today appointed Dr. Gary S.

(CRLA), in an\nattempt to offer testimony showing CRLA's involvement in labor union\n(UFWOC) activities--- violation of CRLA's grant conditions.\n\"Just two nights later, Mr. Moreno'a law offices were fire-bombed,\nresulting in a $90,000 loss. Salinas Fire Chief Paul Mehringer has\ncalled the terrorism 'definitely arson.'\n\"This is not the first act of intimidation against Mr. Moreno. Last\nJanuary, two days after our state OEO report on CRLA's activities was\nmade public, Mr. Moreno's law office windows were smashed.\n\"We have received reports of threats against the lives and property\nof others who have provided information about CRLA's improper relation-\nships with UFWOC. From these reports, a pattern seems to have emerged--\nthat certain individuals or groups are resorting to threats of violence\nand intimidation in an effort to discourage citizens from providing\ninformation to the commission which would be adverse to CRLA.\n\"In a democratic society, such a situation cannot and must not be\ntolerated.\n\"Moreover, it appears that federal law prohibits 'threats or force'\ndesigned to 'influence, intimidate or impede any witness' to such a\nfederal inquiry. The law--Title 18, Section 1505 of the United States\nCode---further provides for stiff penalties against 'whoever injures any\nparty or witness in his person or property on account of his attending\nor having attended such proceedings or on account of his testifying or\nhaving testified to any matter pending therein.'\n\"On the basis of our understanding of the applicability of the law,\nI am requesting that you direct the FBI to immediately begin a full\ninvestigation into the circumstances surrounding last week's bombing of\nMr. Moreno's law offices. Such an investigation is not only appropriate\nin the case of the attempt to intimidate Mr. Moreno, but it also may\nserve as some protection for others who are attempting to provide the\nCommission with information about CRLA.\"\n********\n- 1 -\n#320\nThe governor sent a similar telegram to federal OEO Director\nFrank Carlucci asking him 'to join with me\" in asking Mitchell to direct\nthe probe by the FBI.\n********\nThe following is the text of a telegram from Governor Reagan to\nattorney William Moreno of Salinas Friday, May 21:\n\"I was shocked and saddened to learn of the savage fire bombing of\nyour law offices last night. It was an act of cowardice which typifies\nthe efforts of those bent on using intimidation and fear to achieve their\nown selfish ends.\n\"I know of your many efforts as a lawyer to help serve the legal\nneeds of poor people efforts which go back 15 years to the time when\nyou helped found the local legal aid society. I also know that you have\naccepted many cases referred to you by CRLA the latest one just two\nweeks ago.\n\"The courage you have displayed, especially in recent months\nfrom\nthe day last January when your office windows were shattered until\nearlier this week when you tried, though in vain, to testify fully about\nCRLA's activities is gratifying to me and should be a source of\ninspiration to others. I deeply regret that you were not given the\nopportunity to make known valid information about CRLA. But, I thank\nyou for trying.\n\"I have since urged federal OEO Director Frank Carlucci to clarify\nhis instructions to the commission on CRLA so that the commission members\nwill, in the future, avail themselves of all offered evidence even\nif\nit is adverse to CRLA.\n\"Again, I sincerely regret the loss you have suffered from this\nsenseless bombing.

The tragic result\nis that the overburdened property taxpayer continues to bear an unjust\nburden with no prospect of relief in sight.\n\"Frankly, the Democratic leadership has demonstrated little\ninclination to compromise. Their attitude is especially disturbing if\nyou realize the plan we offered last year which failed by a single\nvote has been modified to meet a number of objections brought up by\nthe other side.\n\"Because these five months of meetings have not resulted in\nagreement, and to get this vital issue off dead center, I have asked\nAssemblyman Bill Bagley and Senator Bob Lagomarsino to unveil the details\nof our compromise tax reform program- which will require no net\nincrease in taxes later this week. It is now clear that continued\nreliance on our negotiating sessions will not only be fruitless, but\nalso will help to perpetuate the void in leadership which has thus far\nbeen demonstrated on this vitally important issue.\n\"Our compromise plan will sharply reduce homeowner property taxes\nand keep them down.\n\"For example, a person owning a $15,000 home would receive a 55\npercent reduction in his property taxes next year. Taxes on a $20,000\nhome would be reduced 40 percent and a $25,000 home would receive a 34\npercent reduction in property taxes. In addition. the property tax rate\nfor county-provided services also will be cut.\nI I 1-\n#321\n\"Our program also puts a lid on expenditures financed from property\ntaxes at the local level---to assure that the homeowner tax stays down.\n\"This program will reduce the discriminatory business inventory tax,\nprovide additional relief to many senior citizens who are forced to live\non fixed incomes, and bring relief to renters.\n\"These are only a few highlights of the plan you will be receiving\nin detail later this week.\n\"The time for talking about tax reform has long since passed. The\npatience of the people has worn thin. And, unless the legislature acts\nsoon, the people will act for them---at the ballot box.\"\n#####\nEJG\n- 2 -\n@FFICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE:\nImmedi\nSacramento, Californ\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n5-25-71\n#322\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills\nhave been signed:\nAB 112 - Ketchum\nProhibits an insurer from failing to renew a\n(Chapter 94)\npolicy of automobile insurance, solely on basis\nof the insured's age.\nAB 324 - Schabarum\nAuthorizes the Real Estate Commissioner to\n(Chapter 95)\nprescribe lower real estate license fees by\nregularion after hearing with the maximum fees\nbeing those listed in existing statutes.
