Governor Ronald Reagan today urged Californians to reject
Proposition 9 on Tuesday's primary ballot because it would eliminate
hundreds of thousands of jobs and cause economic chaos in California.
"Proposition 9 is not an environmental initiative, it is an
environmental atrocity," Governor Reagan said. "It has been totally
rejected by the California AFL-CIO, by business groups and by all
responsible environmental organizations.
"Aside from defects in drafting, the unworkable controls and
restrictions in Proposition 9 would create havoc with our economy. It
would threaten to virtually shut down California's agricultural industry
and all the jobs that are related to agriculture-- in trucking, processing
canning, shipping, transportation and container manufacturing.
"The ban on nuclear power plant construction under Proposition 9
could literally cause a return of the dark ages in California. We must
move forward to develop nuclear-produced electrical energy if we are to
provide the electricity California needs to have a prosperous economy,
jobs for its people and enough power to light our homes, hospitals and
schools.
"Instead of helping protect the environment, Proposition 9 would
cause more smog because if we cannot develop nuclear energy sources,
there will have to be more fossil-fuel burning plants which cause more
air pollution, not less.
"Democrats and Republicans alike must unite to defeat this
unreasonable, unworkable attempt to put California's economy in a
straightjacket.
"Every Californian who cares whether he will have a job tomorrow or
electricity to light his home in the future should vote "No" on
Proposition 9 in Tuesday's primary election."

Governor Ronald Reagan today urged California voters to
vote "Yes" on Proposition 1, a $250 million bond issue to finance low
interest home and farm loans for veterans under the Cal-Vet program.
"This program does not cost a penny of the taxpayers' money,"
Governor Reagan said. "But Proposition 1 will allow Cal-Vet to assist
thousands of young veterans in their re-adjustment to civilian life.
"Since this program was first enacted, more than 267,000
California veterans have been able to purchase a farm or home at low
interest rates.
"By helping veterans finance homes and farms, the program
also has returned many other benefits. The additional demand for
homes stimulates the housing industry, a vital part of the state's
economy. This in turn has a mushrooming impact on many other idustries
which provide jobs and tax revenue in California.
"The people of California have long recognized the Cal-Vet
program as one which is worthy of their support. They have approved
every previous bond issue to support Cal-Vet. The program has served
veterans of all wars since World War I, but those funds are now out on
loan. This new bond issue is required so the state may offer the same
low interest loan privilege to returning veterans from the Vietnam
conflict," the Governor said.
"Again, I want to emphasize that this is a self-supporting
program that won't cost the taxpayers a cent. But Proposition 1 does
redeem our obligation to help the Vietnam era veteran in his re-adjustmen
to civilian life while at the same time providing a boost to our own
construction industry and all other businesses associated with home
ownership.
"The Vietnam veteran has a right to expect this loan benefit
that California has provided to veterans of all previous conflicts.
"I urge every citizen to vote "Yes" on Proposition 1 on
Tuesday's primary ballot."

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that provides for
the use of residual funds in two Los Angeles teachers' retirement
programs in the event the teachers vote to join the State Teachers'
Retirement System.
The programs involved are the Los Angeles Unified School District
Retirement System and the Los Angeles Community College Retirement System
/
(SB 1053)
Governor Reagan said he signed the bill only after consultation with
Senator James Q. Wedworth (D-Los Angeles), who sponsored the measure;
and coauthors Senator Lou Cusanovich (R-Los Angeles) and Assemblyman
E. Richard Barnes (R-San Diego).
They advised the governor of action taken June 1 by the Los Angeles
School Board assuring that the funds made available to the school
district would be used judiciously for the benefit of the educational
program and the city's taxpayers.
The legislation provides:
--Sixty five percent of the residual funds in the retirement systems
would be made available for unrestricted use by the school district.
Ten percent of this amount would go toward maintenance operations at
the schools.
--Twenty percent would be made available to support future district
teacher retirement contributions.
--Fifteen percent would be used for establishing a district annuity
reserve fund to be paid eligible teachers upon retirement.
Governor Reagan said he hoped today's action on the bill will provide
Los Angeles teachers with the information necessary to make an
enlightened choice on the question of joining 'the/ State Teachers'
Retirement System.
Assembly Bill 543, authored last year by Assemblyman Barnes, made
it possible for local teacher retirement programs to join the state
system.

Fred E. Hummel, the state architect, will be recognized by Governor
Reagan at 2:30 today for his recent honor of being invested with the rank
of Fellowship in the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The
fellowship is one of the highest national awards presented in the field
of architecture. The recognition will be in the governor's office.
Press coverage is invited.
The award is given annually to architects who have made an
outstanding contribution to the advancement of the profession. Some of
the architects who have been honored with the rank of Fellow by the AIA.
include: Charles Luckman and William Pereira, both of Los Angeles;
Edward Stone, New York; Walter Gropius of Germany and Cambridge, Mass.,
Pietro Belluschi, of Seattle and Boston; and Alvar Aalto of Finland.
Since his appointment by Governor Reagan as state architect in 1968,
Hummel has provided aggressive leadership in a variety of efforts to
promote quality design. His high award was given in recognition of his
"notable contributions to the advancement of the profession of
architecture."
Under Hummel's direction, the Office of Architecture and Construction
has actively rejoined public architecture with the fine arts in the
profession. It has refuted the widespread notion that state buildings
have to be ugly, sterile edifices.
In the four years Hummel has served the state, he has adopted sound
business practices and adjusted the manpower level of his office to the
requirements of the anticipated architectural workload assignments. These
efforts have resulted in a savings to the taxpayers of more than $7
million and has given the department greater flexibility.
Some of Hummel's major work includes: Northern California Youth
Reception Center, Stockton; Biological Science Building and Physical
Science Building, San Francisco State; School of Business and Science
Building No. 2, San Jose State; Central Library, San Diego State; Applied
Arts Building, Chico State.
According to the Central Valley Chapter of California of the AIA,
who nominated Hummel for the Fellowship, his "design work in both private
and government practice has been distinguished by its sensitive concern
for people and their surroundings. His solutions make the urban
environment not only livable but enjoyable and exciting.

#346
"Specific characteristics of Mr. Hummel's comprehensive approach
to design include: imaginative selection of materials; thoughtful
landscaping and the use of plazas, malls, fountains, and works of art;
integrated interior design; and coordinated communication systems
including the artful use of graphics."
Hummel has served as chairman of the State Building Standards
Coordinating Council, member of the Advisory Committee on Environmental
Design, member of the National AIA Architects in Government Committee,
member of the Governor's Earthquake Council; member task force to assist
President Nixon curb inflation in the construction industry.
Hummel, 44, born in Sheridan Wyoming, graduated from Nordhoff High
School in Ojai, California in 1945. He received his BA degree in
architecture from the University of California at Berkeley in 1951.
He and his wife Sue make their home in Sacramento.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills have
been signed.
AB 346 - Ryan
Eliminates the Fish and Game Code provisions which
Chapter 119
presently exempt the shooting of whales from
prohibitions against the shooting of any game bird
or mammal from a powerboat, sailboat, motor vehicle
or airplane. The bill further makes it a misdemeanor
with prescribed penalties to import into this state
for commercial purposes, to possess with intent to
sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or
any part of product thereof, of any dolphin or
porpoise.
AB 419 - Burton
Permits local governments to increase the number of
Chapter 120
housing authority commissioners from five to seven
and, if this is done, requires that the two additional
commissioners be project tenants and that one of the
two tenants appointed be over 62 years of age. The
bill further provides that if a tenant commissioner
ceases to be a tenant of the housing authority, he
shall be disqualified and another tenant appointed to
fill the unexpired term.
AB 603 - Bee
Amends the Alameda County Flood Control and Water
Chapter 121
Conservation District Act to permit the sale of
revenue bonds.
AB 893 - Bee
Repeals a special provision requiring consolidation
Chapter 122

Control and Water Conservation District.
SB 399 - Grunsky
Codifies various provisions relating to corporations
Chapter 118
and money now found in the California Constitution
which would be omitted should Senate Constitutional
Amendment No. 6 be enacted by the voters.
Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced the following bill has
been vetoed.
AB 70 - Z'berg
Increases the required number of grand jurors from 23
to 27 in Los Angeles County, and from 19 to 23 in
counties having a population of 6 million or less and
200,000 or more. The bill authorizes the impanelment
of two grand juries in any county, one to inquire into
all matters subject to grand jury inquiry, except
public offenses, and one to inquire into public
offenses.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The problems of restructuring California's grand
jury system has been the subject of much recent
discussion. Last year I requested Attorney General
Evelle Younger to conduct a comprehensive study of
the state's grand jury laws. As a result of this study
legislation has been introduced which would improve
our present system of conducting grand jury
activities.
"Assembly Bill 70, by contrast, addresses only one
facet of the grand jury problem and would increase
rather than resolve some of the basic objections
which have been made due to the current system.
"AB 70 would complicate the method prescribed by
statute for the selection of grand juries, would
require the impanelment of new grand juries in some
counties every 30 days under certain circumstances,
would prevent a uniform method of administering grand
jury selection throughout the state, and would divide
responsibility for the utilization of the grand jury
process in criminal cases.
- 1 -
#349
selection procedures, incorporating the principle
"I feel that new legislation concerning grand jury
of random selection, should be part of a
comprehensive revision of the grand jury system.
Such an overall approach is included in Senate Bill
813, presently pending before the legislature.
"Because of the availability of comprehensive
legislation, and because of the deficiencies
contained in AB 70, I am returning the bill unsigned.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"As many of you know, California was given the legal authority on
June 6 to begin CWEP, the Community Work Experience Program. This is
the demonstration project to test the concept that able-bodied welfare
recipients should be required to seek work, accept a job if offered,
train, or do work for the community in return for their welfare grants.
"At this very moment California is implementing the program in
Ventura County
And the state has taken the almost unprecedented step
of beating the opposition to the courthouse to forestall further delays
in the project.
"The waiver of federal regulations by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare has been taken to the federal court in Los Angeles.
We want to obtain a judgement declaring that the project is absolutely
valid. Such a declaratory judgement would preclude courts from issuing
restraining orders by which welfare rights organizations have delayed the
effective dates of some provisions of our welfare reform program.
"This project was originally slated to begin April 1 of this year
in 35 counties. But the National and California Welfare Rights
Organizations succeeded in forcing court-ordered delays in the issuance
of the waiver.
"Several other counties will take part in the Community Work
Experience Program this month, and gradually in the months ahead, we
expect to have it fully implemented. In all, we will register an
estimated 58,000 welfare recipients. About 30,000 will be work
assignments during this first year of the program.
"I believe this program is practical and sensible. It is a way to
reduce dependency on welfare in California. And it will be welcomed by
most welfare recipients as a way to help them develop some work habits
and eventually find permanent employment."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that a key element of his
welfare reform plan, the Community Work Experience Program, was
implemented today in Ventura County.
The demonstration project requires able-bodied welfare recipients
to participate in community work or training in return for their welfare
grants.
It was originally scheduled to begin the first of April in 35
California counties. However, federal approval was withdrawn by the
Department of Health, Education and Welfare after a federal district
court in Washington ruled that HEW had not given the National and
California Welfare Rights Organizations the required 30 days to study
the program.
HEW reapproved the project Tuesday, June 6, granting the necessary
waiver of federal regulations to permit its implementation.
Governor Reagan also announced the initiation of legal action in a
federal court in Los Angeles to have the Community Work Experience
Program (CWEP) declared valid under state and federal law.
"HEW's approval, coupled with the Welfare Reform Act of 1971, leaves
no doubt about the legal validity of the project," Governor Reagan said.
"Despite this, welfare rights organizations have frequently stated their
intent to stop the program. The state has taken the unprecedented step
of beating the opposition to the courthouse to forestall further delays.
"I am hopeful this unique legal approach will allow the state to
implement CWEP in all 35 counties, free from costly delays resulting from
legal actions initiated at the whim of the welfare rights' attorneys."
The CWEP is to test the concept that able-bodied employable welfare
recipients should be required to seek work, take part in training, accept
a job if offered, or do work for the community in order to receive their
welfare grants.
Able-bodied welfare recipients will be required to register with the
state's Department of Human Resources Development for community work
assignments if they do not immediately find regular work or training
while on welfare.
- 1 -
#352
The assignments will be temporary and limited to a maximum of 80
hours per month. The program's objective is to give employable welfare
recipients who can't find jobs an opportunity to obtain work experience
while contributing to community improvement that would not otherwise
be done.
Several other counties, yet to be announced, will be taking part in
the project this month. The state plans to have the program fully under
way in all 35 counties next year. It expects to register an estimated
58,000 welfare recipients. Of these, about 30,000 will be given work
assignments during the first year.
"I believe this program is a practical and sensible way to reduce
dependency on welfare in California,' Governor Reagan said. "It will be
welcomed by most of the participants as a way to help them develop some
work experience and eventually find permanent employment."
The program will be administered by the departments of Human
Resources Development and Social Welfare.

a bipartisan agreement to create a powerful new State Environmental
Protection Board.
The environmental reorganization, which the governor said "will
streamline the machinery California needs to continue to wage a success-
ful battle against the pollution of our environment in the years ahead,"
was a key element in the administration's 1972 legislative program and
is the result of months of negotiations with the chairman of the Assembly
Natural Resources and Conservation Committee, Edwin Z'berg (D-Sacramento)
Governor Reagan noted that during the past 5½ years of his
administration, "California has done more to combat air and water
pollution and to protect the environment than in the entire previous
decade.
"Under the agreement being announced today--a major milestone in
this administration's efforts to protect and enhance California's
environment--the functions of the two principal state agencies which
have led our fight against air and water pollution (Air Resources
Board and Water Resources Control Board) will come under the overall
authority of the new State Environmental Protection Board. And,
because we have made the development of a new and more effective program
for the management of solid wastes a top priority item on our
environmental agenda, this function also will be the responsibility
of the new board," the governor said.
"In my view, this agreement is, in large measure, the result of
this administration's continuing efforts to develop a more comprehensive
approach to preserving and enhancing California's environment. The
negotiations have resulted in success because of the constructive spirit
of understanding and cooperation demonstrated by both sides.
"As I said in my 'state-of-the-state's environment speech' to the
Long Beach Joint Service Clubs earlier this year:
'If you solve the garbage problem by burning it, you add to air
pollution. If you dump it at sea you create another problem.
'Instead of fragmented, single-purpose agencies, we should develop
our pollution control efforts in a more coordinated manner because, in
many cases, some form of pollution does affect another.'

Governor Reagan said the agreement announced today indicates that
various members of the legislature have begun to respond to the
administration's prodding on a number of environmental proposals.
The governor again asked the legislature to pass emergency
legislation to allow the state to regulate forest practices until such
long-range regulations can be developed. He said the passage of such
legislation is more urgent than ever with the heavy logging and fire
hazard season which is now upon us.
Governor Reagan also urged the enactment of coastline protection
legislation and said the administration has offered specific guidelines
for preserving and enhancing the entire coastline of the state without
unduly infringing on its economic development.
The governor said the administration has proposed legislation to
establish a powerplant siting council and asked the legislature to
act on it as soon as possible during the current session. The council
would have the responsibility of evaluating the environmental impact
of powerplant sites and approving their locations. "It would be an
arm of government which could give full consideration to necessary
environmental safeguards," he said.
"The legislature has had this subject before it for a number of
years. This is the year we must act. We have been fortunate in not
experiencing the brown-outs and black-outs that are too familiar in
other areas of the country and the world and we want to keep it that
way," the governor reiterated.

SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENT REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT
The bill would create a new pollution control entity called the
State Environmental Protection Board within the Resources Agency.
The entity would consist of a seven man State Environmental
Protection Board, the Executive Director and staff, the State
Water Rights Council, the Citizens Council on Environmental
Protection, and the regional environmental protection boards.
The State Environmental Protection Board would succeed to the
existing powers of the State Air Resources Board and the State
Water Resources Control Board. It would assume the solid waste
functions created by SB 5. The board would have power to review
and comment on regulations of other departments dealing with
radiation, pesticides, and noise and would coordinate environ-
mental impact statements prepared by State government. It shall
conduct a study to recommend a state policy on noise.
The State Board would have responsibility for establishing
major policies, standards, rules, and regulations for pollution
control and would hear appeals. The Executive Director would be
appointed by the Governor, would have responsibility for the
administrative functions, and would be the appointing authority
for the civil service staff.
The chairman of the State Board would be the Secretary for
Resources or his designee. The six members of the board would
be appointed by the Governor for staggered four-year terms. The
members would be chosen to ensure that all the following areas
of expertise would be represented in the board: air quality,
noise, nuclear radiation, pesticides, solid waste management,
water quality, and water rights.
To assist the board in the area of water rights, a special 3-man
water rights council would be established. A member of the state
board with experience in water rights would serve as chairman.
The other two members would be an attorney and an engineer,
both with experience in water rights. The state board could
delegate any part of its water rights powers to the council,
and council decisions would need approval by the state board.
The regional water quality control boards would be renamed
regional environmental protection boards. They would continue
to exercise their present water quality responsibilities with
staff services performed by the staff of the state board. Field
work for other responsibilities of the state board would be
performed directly by the staff of the state board.
The board would go into operation on July 1, 1973, but the
executive director would be appointed on March 1, 1973, to prepare
for the reorganization and transfer of functions.

TEXT OF
PRESS BRIEFING BY JERRY WARREN, DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY
TO PRESIDENT NIXON.
12:12 p.m. (PDT) to White House Newsmen
June 14, 1972
We are announcing today that Governor Ronald Reagan of California
will serve as a special representative of the President on a three-week
trip to several European countries beginning July 2. This trip will
underline the importance the administration attaches to our ties with
Europe, to our NATO commitment and to mutually beneficial relations
with the enlarged European community.
He will visit several major West European capitals to call on
NATO and European leaders and will deliver messages from the President.
I don't have a detailed itinerary for you at this point. We will later
He will visit Denmark, Belgium, France, Italy, Ireland and the
United Kingdom. While in Denmark Governor Reagan will attend the
Rebild Festival. This is the 60th year in which the Rebild Festival
has been held to celebrate Danish/ American friendship. The President,
as you will recall, was the principal speaker on July 4, 1971.
Earlier this year, on May 2, a group of members of the Rebild
Society of Denmark met with the President and presented him, at that
time, with a gold medallion commemorating the organization's 60th
anniversary. The medallion was one of two in existence. The other
will be presented to the Queen of Denmark on this July 4 by the
Rebild Society.
- 2 -
Q. What sort of messages is he delivering for the President?
A. I don't have any details but he will have messages to each
of the leaders. As you will recall Governor Reagan made a trip
to Asia last October and was the President's special representative
at the Double-Ten ceremony in Taiwan on October 10 of last year.
Following that trip the President and the Governor had discussed
the possibility of the Governor going to Europe and this timing
worked out because of the Rebild Society function on July 4 and
because it was decided that a trip to Europe at this time would
be useful in light of the President's effort to maintain close
contact and consultation with our European allies.
Q. Will there be anything done about trade?
A. He will be talking about the President's thinking and this
administration's position on international issues and also will be
listening to the views of our allies. He will be briefed here in
Washington before he leaves.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that will remove
a proposed seven mile stretch of the Pacific Coast Freeway within the
city limits of Long Beach from the state freeway and expressway system.
The legislation, SB 230, authored by Senator George Deukmejian
(R-Long Beach), was introduced at the request of the Long Beach City
regionally
Council and was not opposed locally or / in the legislature.
"It has been a policy of this administration that local communities
will be given a voice in the planning of transportation facilities.
Removal of a portion of this state highway from the freeway and
expressway system provides the opportunity for a cooperative review
of whether a freeway or some other transportation facility is most
appropriate.
This concept was incorporated in
last year's announcement of our Transportation Corridor Policy.
"I recognize that the deletion of Routes 1 and 22 from the
freeway and expressway system does not offer a solution to the
transportation problems in the City of Long Beach. But I believe that
this bill contributes to the climate of cooperation between the state
and local governments that will lead to a solution," the governor
said.

STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR REAGAN, PROVIDED TO UNITED PRESS
INTERNATIONAL (CARL INGRAM) ON REQUEST:
"Our reforms have enabled us to slay the monster
welfare was becoming in California. That isn't to say there
still aren't shortcomings in the system, but had ve been un-
able to put our reforms into effect, there would today be
600,000 more Californians drawing welfare than there actually
are---at a total additional cost to our taxpayers of some
$400 million. Two major court victories in recent weeks
backing our reforms will give us the additional tools ve
need to further protect the taxpayers' money against fraud
and assure that only the truly needy on welfare actually
receive it.
"We also are very pleased that the federal government
has given us the legal authority we need to test a key
concept in our welfare reform program that able-bodied
welfare recipients should be required to seek work, accept
a job if offered, train, or do work for their community in
return for their welfare grants. We believe this concept
will prove to be a model for the nation."

Governor Ronald Reagan said today that he will approve
a $300,000 budget augmentation to the Department of Education to
continue a venereal disease prevention educational program.
"It is essential that we continue to provide educators
with the training and instructional materials they must have to
teach our junior and senior high school students properly about
this disease and how to prevent it," he said.
A crash program to establish curriculum guidelines, develop
instructional materials and provide workshops and special training
clinics for administrators and teachers was initiated earlier this
year by the governor in cooperation with Superintendent of Public
Instruction Wilson Riles, the State Department of Public Health and
the State Board of Education.
The budget augmentation announced by the governor will
allow the educational program to continue without interruption during
the coming fiscal year.

Governor Ronald Reagan today approved a federal grant of $200,000
to the Good Samaritan Home in Oakland. The grant was made by the Office
of Economic Opportunity.
"The programs being conducted by the Good Samaritan Home under the
direction of Joan Sparks are outstanding," Governor Reagan said. "The
home has been strongly endorsed by the state Office of Economic
Opportunity, Oakland's public officials and numerous private individuals.
"I believe the home is a good example of an OEO funded project
that is mobilizing local resources to help meet a community's needs in
the true spirit of the OEO."
Mrs. Sparks founded the Good Samaritan home in 1962. It provides
emergency and regular services for low income families and individuals.
During the past 12 months the home served 12,000 breakfasts to
underprivileged children. It also provides emergency medical and dental
services, housing, various counseling services, health and consumer
education programs, and a job workshop to assist the unemployed find
work.
The grant will run until June 30, 1973.

Governor Ronald Reagan today, at the request of the Sacramento
County Board of Supervisors, took immediate action in declaring a
state of emergency over the flooding of Andrus and Brannan Islands
area in the Sacramento-San Joaquin river delta.
Governor Reagan also approved a Declaration of Emergency by
William Gianelli, director of the Department of Water Resources, which
will permit the department to use emergency funds to assist in the
area.
"These state funds will enable the use of forestry crews,
conservation camps and other state personnel to work in the flooded
area for the protection of life and property," Governor Reagan said.
"I have directed the Department of Water Resources to coordinate
with local and federal officials to meet the critical problems that
occur in
are occurring now in the area and will continue to /the immediate
future."
Gianelli said the efforts to strengthen and protect the temporary
levee around the small community of Isleton is of particular importance.
"We will also be vitally concerned with protecting the levees
adjacent to the flooded area," Gianelli said.
He estimated several hundred state personnel would be required
before the emergency is fully met.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of Dwight M.
Geduldig as interim director of the Department of Health Care Services,
the department responsible for the state's Medi-Cal program.
Medi-Cal is the $1.6 billion state-county-federal health assistance
program to purchase health care for 2.2 million needy Californians.
Geduldig, 48, will replace Earl W. Brian, M.D., who has been directo
of HCS since January, 1970. Dr. Brian was appointed secretary of the
Human Relations Agency to succeed James M. Hall who has resigned to enter
private business. Geduldig and Dr. Brian will assume their new
responsibilities July 1. The Departments of Health Care Services, Public
Health and Mental Hygiene will be merged into the new Department of
1
Health, effective July 1, 1973.
"I am delighted in making today's announcement, Governor Reagan
said, "Because Dwight has earned this promotion. As a member of the team
that designed the Medi-Cal Reform Plan of 1971, and nurtured it through
the legislature to enactment, he demonstrated a keen sense of judgment
and creative ability. Therefore, he is an expert on the complex Medi-Cal
law and is highly qualified to administer the program.
"The people of California are fortunate, indeed, to have a man of
Dwight Geduldig's caliber and dedication to take over the direction of
this important state department and continue the direction charted by
Dr. Brian.
"I am confident that Dwight will continue to make a valuable
contribution to the success of our medical assistance program."
Dr. Brian also expressed his pleasure over Geduldig's appointment
by saying:
"I will continue to have a deep-seated interest in Health Care
Services and the Medi-Cal Reform program. However, with Dwight directing
the department and administering the program, I know both will be in
capable hands."
Geduldig, who was Dr. Brian's chief deputy director, was appointed
special assistant and public information officer for HCS in 1970. He was
made assistant to the director the following year and was appointed chief
deputy director in January of this year.
Prior to joining HCS, Geduldig was public information officer for
the State Department of Employment, and was a tax service specialist for
the State Board of Equalization.
Geduldig, who was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, received his A.B.
degree in journalism and economics from San Jose State College in 1949.
He is a former correspondent and bureau manager for United Press
International, and was an editor of the San Jose News and the Santa Rosa
Press Democrat. He has been in state service since 1963.
Geduldig, his wife Dorothy, an elementary school teacher, and three
children live in Carmichael.

The following items have been blue-pencilled by Governor Reagan:
Item 37
For support of Department of Commerce. I reduce this item
$1,752,188 to $1,692,188 by reducing paragraph (b) operat-
ing expenses and equipment from $656,250 to $621,250 and by
eliminating paragraph (d) celebration of 150th anniversary
of City of Sonoma. (Reduction: $60,000)
I am eliminating funds added for repair of a band shell and
the addition of a new exhibit. These projects should be
funded from other-than-state sources. I am eliminating
funds added for celebration of 150th anniversary of the City
of Soncma. While it is important to acknowledge and cele-
brate our heritage, expenditure of state tax funds should
be limited to events that are clearly of statewide signifi-
cance.
Item 43
For support of the state's cash match for federal grants
made by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. I
reduce this item from $5,750,000 to $4,500,000. (Reduction:
$1,250,000)
The estimated amount of federal grants available has been
reduced from $60,000,000 to $46,500,000, thereby reducing
the amount required for state cash match.
Item 45
For support of contribution to counties for providing legal
assistance to indigents. I reduce this item from $1,429,500
to $775,000. (Reduction: $654,500)
The remaining amount reflects the traditional contribution
to counties for legal assistance to indigents.
Item 46.5
For tort liability claims that may arise from damage caused
by structural deficiency of the State Capitol Building.
I eliminate this item. (Eliminated: $5,000,000)
No liability or injury is anticipated in the State Capitol
Building because of structural deficiencies.
Item 67
For support of Public Utilities Commission. I reduce this
item from $7,333,388 to $6,913,273 by reducing paragraph
(a) Personal Services from $11,109,835 to $10,781,960 and
paragraph (b) Operating Expenses and Equipment from
$2,293,635 to $2,201,395. (Reduction: $420,115)
I am reducing this item to a level of expenditure which
provides for an augmentation to the commission's original
budget in the amount of $97,310 for additional auditors.
The amount appropriated will enable the commission to meet
its responsibilities.
Item 80
For support of augmentations for salary increases - Civil
Service and related. I reduce this item from $46,688,000
to $31,125,000 and reduce the proposed across-the-board
salary increases specified therein for state officers and
employees, exclusive of personnel in the University of
California and of the California State Colleges whose com-
pensation or portion thereof is charged to the General Fund,
from 7½ percent to 5 percent and for state officers and
employees whose compensation, including staff benefits, or
a portion thereof is payable from special funds, from 7½
percent to 5 percent. (Reduction: $15,563,000)
This action reduces the appropriation to a salary increase of 5 percent.
Together with the salary inequity funds I am approving in this bill,
salary increases will amount to an average of 8.4 percent. Such in-
creases will cover a substantial portion of existing salary inequities.
Additional efforts to correct remaining inequities are planned for
1973-74.

#370
Item 80.5
For support of augmentations for salary increases -
increases for statutory salaries. I reduce this item
from $177,000 to $118,000 and reduce the proposed
salary increase specified therein for state officers
whose salaries are specified by statute and whose com-
pensation is paid from either the General Fund or
Special Funds, from 7½ percent to 5 percent.
(Reduction: $59,000)
This item is reduced to reflect the level of general
salary increase granted to civil service and related
positions.
Item 81
For support of augmentations of salary increases -
University of California. I reduce this item from
$33,274,000 to $20,705,000 by reducing paragraph (a)
for increases in compensation for faculty and faculty-
related positions from $22,188,000 to $13,314,000,
and I reduce the proposed across-the-board salary
increase specified therein for these positions from
12½½ percent to 7½ percent and paragraph (b) for in-
creases in compensation for non-faculty positions
from $11,086,000 to $7,391,000, and I reduce the pro-
posed across-the-board salary increase specified
therein for these positions from 7½ percent to 5 per-
cent. (Reduction: $12,569,000)
This action provides the increases for University em-
ployees as I originally proposed. Both the academic
and non-academic increase funds in this item, together
with the inequity funds which I am approving in this
budget, will cover a substantial portion of salary
inequities. Additional efforts to correct remaining
salary inequities are planned for 1973-74.
Item 81.1
For support of Augmentation for Salary Increase -
University of California - Inequity Funds. I reduce
this item from $8,133,000 to $6,100,000 by reducing
paragraph (a) faculty and faculty-related positions
from $4,438,000 to $2,600,000 and paragraph (b) non-
faculty positions from $3,695,000 to $3,500,000.
(Reduction: $2,033,000)
I am reducing this item to the amount I recommended in
May. Together with other salary increase funds, the
amounts made available will cover over half of existing
salary inequities. Plans to meet remaining inequities
are scheduled next year (1973-74). I am approving
this item as reduced, with the understanding that
increase in compensation provided by increased salary
ranges for positions established for the 1972-73
fiscal year shall not result in total annual salary
increases, including staff benefits, of more than
$6,100,000.
Item 82
For support of augmentation for salary increase -
California State Universities and Colleges. I reduce
this item from $35,445,000 to $21,836,000 by reducing
paragraph (a) for increases in compensation for in-
structional and instructional-related positions from
$26,918,000 to $16,151,000, and I reduce the proposed
across-the-board salary increase specified therein for
these employees from 12½¹₂ percent to 7½ percent and
paragraph (b) for increases in compensation for non-
instructional positions from $8,527,000 to $5,685,000, and I reduce the
proposed across-the-board salary increase specified therein for these
positions from 7½ percent to 5 percent. (Reduction: $13,609,000)
This action provides the increases for State University and College ncrease
employees as originally requested. The academic and non-academic /funds
in this item, together with the inequity funds which I recommended, will
cover a substantial portion of salary inequities. Additional efforts
to correct remaining salary inequities are planned for 1973-74.

and paragraph (b) non-instructional positions from
$2,842,000 to $2,500,000. (Reduction: $2,626,000)
I am reducing this item to the amount I recommended
in May. Together with other salary increase funds the
amounts being provided will cover over half of exist-

to correct remaining salary inequities next year
(1973-74). I am approving this item, as reduced, with
the understanding that increase in compensation pro-
vided by increased salary ranges for positions estab-
lished for the 1972-73 fiscal year shall not result in
total annual salary increases including staff benefits,
of more than $5,600,000.

Item 86
For claim of the Secretary of the State Board of Control.
I reduce this item from $156,695 to $134,031 by reducing
paragraph (k) Water Resources Revolving Fund from $6,857
to $2,193 and paragraph (1) Health Care Deposit Fund from
$19,864 to $1,864. (Reduction: $22,664)
The two claims involved in category (k) and the single claim
under category (1) received a full hearing by the State
Board of Control as provided for in their procedures.
After its review, the board declined to recommend approval.
No new information has been presented that would suggest
reversal of the board's decision and therefore by this
action, their decision is sustained.
Item 145
For support of State Personnel Board. I reduce this item
from $9,023,636 to $8,123,636 by reducing paragraph (c)
for implementation of Division 4 of the Unemployment Insur-
ance Code from $3,757,000 to $2,857,000. (Reduction:
$900,000)
The needs of this program can be adequately maintained at
this funding level with utilization of federal funding.
Item 194
For support of State Lands Division. I reduce this item
from $1,674,000 to $1,568,000 by reducing paragraph (a)
personal services from $2,265,205 to $2,186,058 and para-
graph (b) operating expenses and equipment from $504,436
to $477,583. (Reduction: $106,000)
I am approving this item at the level originally proposed
in the budget which provides sufficient resources for the
division to meet its responsibilities.
Item 206.1 For loan to the City of Avalon, Department of Navigation and
Ocean Development. I eliminate this item. (Eliminated:
$350,000)
This item is eliminated on the basis that the Department of
Navigation and Ocean Development should retain the respons-
ibility for approving loans based on economic and engineer-
ing feasibility.
Item 217
For expenditures by the Department of Water Resources for
state's share of flood control projects. I reduce this item
from $7,500,000 to $4,000,000. (Reduction: $3,500,000)
The legislative augmentation of $3,500,000 should be pro-
vided by SB 993 (Lagomarsino) which contains a comprehensive
proposal for state and local cost sharing for flood control.
Item 220
For support of Department of Corrections. I reduce this
item from $112,503,781 to $111,903,781 by reducing paragraph
(b) II. institutional program $91,229,830 to $90,629,830.
I am also deleting the following language from Item 220 re-
lating to the reductions made in the appropriation itself:
"Provided further, that of the amount appropriated in this
item $100,000 shall be used for the sole purpose of convert-
ing 300 positions from the classification correctional
officer to the classification correctional program supervisor
and that $50,000 of this appropriation shall be used for the
sole purpose of the development of a centralized recruiting
program to aid in locating and employing better qualified
personnel. I am also reducing the $450,000 for a cen-
tralized training program to $100,000. (Reduction:
$600,000)
I am reducing* the augmentation for training ($350,000) pending funding
of the department under a grant by the California Council on Criminal
Justice for a centralized training program in conjunction with the
Youth Authority. I am eliminating the augmentation for correctional
program supervisor reclassifications ($100,000) because it has not been
demonstrated that expansion of the existing program will enhance exist-
ing rehabilitative efforts. I am eliminating the augmentation for cen-
tralized recruiting ($50,000) because the Personnel Board has funds in
its existing program to meet the recruiting needs of the department.
#370
Item 220.2 For support of Department of Corrections, Inmate Welfare
Fund. I eliminate this item. (Eliminated: $250,000)
I am eliminating this item because the present method of
providing recreational equipment and supplies is both
adequate and satisfactory.
Item 220.5 For support of Department of Corrections. I eliminate this
item. (Eliminated $39,000)
I am eliminating this item because the existing inmate self-
help program is being accomplished through voluntary efforts
at the present time and can be continued on this basis.
Item 224
For support of Department of the Youth Authority. I reduce
this item from $52,633,215 to $52,378,215 by reducing para-
graph (b) II. rehabilitative services $50,004,679 to
$49,749,679. I am also deleting the following language
from Item 224 relating to the reductions made in the
appropriation itself:
"Provided, that $30,000 of the amount appropriated by this
item shall be used for the sole purpose of development of
a centralized recruiting program to aid in locating and
employing better qualified personnel. I am also reducing
the $225,000 for a centralized training program to $50,000.
(Reduction: $255,000)
I am eliminating the augmentation for centralized recruiting
($30,000) because the State Personnel Board has funds in
its existing program to meet the recruiting needs of the
department. I am reducing the augmentation for training
($175,000) pending funding of the department under a grant
by the California Council of Criminal Justice for a central-
ized training program in conjunction with the Department
of Corrections.
Item 233
For transfer to the Health Care Deposit Fund to provide for
Medical Assistance Program expenditures. I reduce this item
from $664,517,36 to $606,317,587 and eliminate the follow-
ing language and schedule:
"Provided, further, that of the amounts appropriated by
this item, $25,580,702 shall be expended, for the 1972-73
fiscal year only, in addition to all other amounts required
by law, pursuant to the following schedule for relief of
the counties for costs incurred in the implementation of

Item 233
(Reduction: $58,199,778)
(continued)
I have eliminated $25,580,702 and related language
and schedule which were added to reduce the counties'
share of costs under the Medi-Cal program. The present
cost sharing as set forth in the statutes is equitable.
I am recommending the passage of AB 1282, (Arnett)
which will provide some administrative relief to the
counties through simplified billing procedures for
reimbursement for Medi-Cal service rendered through
county hospitals. In addition I have reduced the
funds for caseload expenditures in recognition of
revised estimates by $32,619,076.
-4a-
#370
Item 234
For support of Department of Human Resources Develop-
ment. I reduce this item from $9,424,374 to
$8,163,874. (Reduction: $1,260,500)
A modification in federal law has changed the state
matching requirements. The original appropriation
will be enough to match all available federal money
to properly fund the Work Incentive Program under the
new (9-1) sharing ratio.
Item 241
For support of Department of Mental Hygiene. I reduce
this item from $6,910,096 to $6,878,096 by reducing
paragraph (b) operating expenses and equipment from
$1,715,701 to $1,683,701. I have also deleted the
following language from Item 241 which provides funds
specifically for staff and related expenses of the
Citizens Advisory Council:
"Provided that, of this amount, $32,000 shall be made
available to the Citizens Advisory Council solely for
the purpose of providing independent staffing and
expenses related thereof." (Reduction: $32,000)
The Citizens Advisory Council provides advice and
assistance to the director of Mental Hygiene. The
department can provide staff as needed to support the
work of the council.
Item 241.1
For support of Department of Mental Hygiene. I elimin-
ate this item. (Eliminated: $409,000)
I have eliminated this item because the 1972-73 budget,
as originally submitted, contains sufficient funds to
maintain Mendocino State Hospital pending final
disposition.
Item 246
For support of Department of Public Health. I reduce
this item from $12,197,502 to $11,697,502 by reducing
paragraph (b) operating expenses and equipment from
$6,647,845 to $6,147,845. (Reduction: $500,000)
I have eliminated additional funds for comprehensive
health planning pending evaluation of efforts made to
date by regional and local area comprehensive health
planning agencies.
Item 246.1
For support of Department of Public Health. I elimin-
ate this item. (Eliminated: $300,000)
I am eliminating this augmentation of $300,000 on the
basis that $600,000 remains available in 1972-73 for
family planning from prior appropriations which will
permit the orderly growth of this program while it
is further evaluated.
Item 257.1
For Local Assistance, Department of Social Welfare -
Unmet Shelter Needs. I reduce this item from
$3,000,000 to $1,500,000. (Reduction: -$1,500,000)
The 1971 Welfare Reform Act achieved a balance of
various public assistance programs funded by the state
and county governments. As a part of that balance it
was agreed that the state would assume certain costs
previously borne by counties, such as the costs of the
Old Age Security and Aid to the Blind programs. It
was also agreed that counties would assume full respons-
ibility for some functions. Specifically, the Welfare
Reform Act provided that counties provide special needs
to AFDC welfare recipients in accordance with priorities
determined at the county level. The reduction to
Item 257.1 represents that portion which relates to
the AFDC program. The remaining $1,500,000 shall be
allocated to the adult aid programs, which remain the
fiscal responsibility of the state.

#370
Item 261
For support of Department of Education. I reduce this
item from $6,172,638 to $5,980,938 by reducing para-
graph (a) personal services from $15,156,501 to
$15,121,701 and paragraph (b) operating expenses and
equipment from $8,711,545 to $8,679,645, and elimin-
ating paragraph (f). (Reduction: $191,700)
I have reduced this item by eliminating the legisla-
tive augmentations in the amount of $66,700 which were
provided for additional staffing and related expenses.
Consideration of proposed increases should be deferred
until after the Superintendent of Public Instruction
has completed the presently planned reorganization of
the department. I have eliminated the $125,000 legis-
lative augmentation for the new careers program because
there is insufficient information available as yet to
justify the proposed expansion of this relatively new
program.
Item 264
For support of Special Schools, Department of Education.
I reduce this item from $9,963,325 to $9,263,325 by
eliminating paragraph (f). (Reduction: $700,000)
I have reduced this item by eliminating the additional
funds for a new school at Mendocino State Hospital
because a study currently is being made of the existing
facilities at Berkeley. In the proposal to transfer
from Berkeley to new facilities, all aspects of the
program should be considered on a long-range basis,
and should be based upon a plan recommended by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction. The results of
the study now being conducted may reveal other exist-
ing facilities or possible arrangements that would
prove superior from a program viewpoint. I believe
the matter must be thoroughly examined and alternatives
considered in view of the significance of establishing
new facilities.
Item 268.1
For support of transfer by the State Controller from
the General Fund to the State Schools Fund for addi-
tional supplemental support. I reduce this item
$8,000,000. (Reduction: $8,000,000)
I am reducing this item by $8 million. The remaining
$24 million augmentation for supplemental support
which I am approving is sufficient to fully fund the
apportionment formulas in the item.
Item 269
For Public School Support, Department of Education.
I eliminate this item. (Eliminated $65,000,000)
I have eliminated this item because I am approving in
Items 268 and 268.1 the expenditure of $190 million
appropriated by the legislature for enhancement of
education at the local level. The remaining $73 million
($65 million in Item 269 and $8 million of Item 268.1)
appropriated to local schools in this Act is not pri-
marily directed toward the relief of low wealth school
districts in accordance with the guidelines of the
Serrano decision. There is ample time for the legis-
lature to enact a combination tax reform and school
finance bill at this session and I have proposed one
such solution. The $73 million will remain in surplus
available to local schools at such time as the legis-
lature places on my desk a bill conforming to the
general principles of the Serrano case. Should the
legislature adjourn this session without enacting such
legislation, I am ordering that the Department of
Finance clearly set forth in the budget documents an
earmarked surplus of $73 million as part of the money
to be available for low wealth school districts when-
ever the legislature completes work on comprehensive
school tax financing reform.

#370
Item 271
For support of Compensatory Education Program, Depart-
ment of Education. I reduce this item from $11,000,000
to $10,518,000. (Reduction: $482,000)
I have reduced this item by eliminating the unallocated
funds for expansion of the Professional Development
Centers. I have approved augmentations in the amount
of $60,000 for the project related to the University
of California at Santa Cruz and $100,000 for project
LINKAGE related to the University of California at
Los Angeles and $108,000 for the project related to the
Pasadena Unified School District, thereby funding all
projects specified by the legislature. The Professional
Development Centers program has not had sufficient
proven results to warrant expansion beyond that being
authorized.
Item 272.1
For support of the Abstract Conceptually-Oriented
Mathematics Program Act, Department of Education. I
reduce this item from $1,000,000 to $500,000.
(Reduction: $500,000)
I have reduced this item because the funds remaining
are sufficient to support demonstration programs which
will permit a proper evaluation of this instructional
method. AB 1644 (Russell) now being considered by the
legislature will provide for a complete evaluation of
this program.
Item 273
For support of Children's Centers, Department of
Education. I reduce this item from $21,892,700 to
$21,742,700 by reducing paragraph (a) children's
centers from $28,522,988 to $28,372,988. (Reduction:
$150,000)
I have reduced this item by eliminating funds for
administrative costs related to establishment of centers
at OF near campuses of institutions of higher learning.
The department assured me at the time legislative auth-
orization for such centers was enacted that there would
be no additional state costs.
Item 273.1
For support of Department of Education. I eliminate
this item. (Eliminated: $3,000,000)
Item 273.1 appropriates $3,000,000 to the Department
of Education for county child care and child care train-
ing programs. These funds were originally budgeted to
the Department of Social Welfare. Item 273.1 is
eliminated in the belief that the department of Social
Welfare is the appropriate agency to administer this
program, particularly since the Department has long
standing channels of communication and supervision
established with county welfare departments. It would
be necessary for Education to establish a parallel
administrative structure if this program were
transferred. In order to restore these funds to the
child care program, I am requesting legislation to add
the necessary appropriation.
Item 276
For support of Assistance to Public Libraries, Division
of Libraries, Department of Education. I reduce this
item from $1,346,000 to $800,000. (Reduction: $546,000)
I have reduced this item to the current level of fund-
ing.
Item 277.1
For vocational education, Summer Work Program, Depart-
ment of Education. I eliminate this item. (Eliminated:
$100,000)
I have eliminated this program because it is essentially
an employment program that can more properly and
effectively be satisfied through existing manpower
programs.
-7-
#370
Item 280
For support of Project SHARE, Department of Education.
I eliminate this item. (Eliminated: $550,000)
I have eliminated this item since it previously has
been funded from the Miller-Unruh appropriation and it
should continue to be financed from that resource.
AB 612 (Vasconcellos) now before the legislature can
be used to direct Miller-Unruh funds for SHARE.
Item 283
For support of University of California. I reduce this
item from $357,636,442 to $354,289,029. (Reduction:
$3,347,413)
The Regents of the University of California have pro-
vided for an appropriate and vigorous educational oppor-
tunity program from total funds available to the
Regents; therefore, it is not necessary to augment this
program from the General Fund at this time. Despite
the fact enrollments are failing to come up to budget
levels, I nevertheless have not only maintained the
same support for the University I proposed in January--
which was predicated on higher projected enrollments--
but I have retained legislative augmentations in the
amount of $1.7 million for research in mosquito control
and university unemployment benefits. The funds pro-
vided by the state to the University in 1972-73 are
being increased by $18.2 million over the current year's
support level, plus $27 million for salary increases.
The administration has allocated sufficient funds for
the operation of the University. The legislature
addressed the budget item by item. The Regents have
authority to redirect funds to specific needs and
economies of operations together with prospective en-
rollment reductions which appear to be sufficient to
meet specific needs.
Item 283.1
For support of University of California. I eliminate
this item. (Eliminated: $5,958,000)
I am opposed to the elimination of tuition. It is a
necessity for financing of higher education. The
Regents of the University of California have themselves
implemented a tuition program. It exists and it is
increasing in importance at every major university in
the United States.
Item 283.2
For support of a Department of Demography, University
of California, Berkeley campus. I eliminate this item.
(Eliminated: $75,000)
This item is being eliminated at the request of the
University.
Item 283.3
For support of the Institute of Traffic and Transporta-
tion Engineering, University of California. I reduce
this item from $551,362 to $460,871 by reducing para-
graph (b) from $90,491 to zero. (Reduction: $90,491)
The program at the UCLA campus is being reduced at the
request of the University.
Item 290
For support of Hastings College of Law. I reduce this
item from $1,586,826 to $1,554,426 by reducing paragraph
(b) operating expenses and equipment from $770,371 to
$737,971. (Reduction: $32,400)
An augmentation I am approving will provide state and
federal funds for the National Defense Student Loan
Program and thereby assist the financial aids effort.
-8-
#370
Item 290.1
For support of Hastings College of Law. I eliminate
this item. (Eliminated: $278,100)
The Coordinating Council on Higher Education has
advised me that there is insufficient evidence to
support the need for an additional law school in the
state of California. Therefore, I am eliminating this
item for this year.
Item 290.2
For support of Hastings College of Law. I eliminate
this item. (Eliminated: $378,000)
I am opposed to the elimination of tuition. It exists
and it is increasing in importance at every major
university in the United States.
Item 291
For support of Trustees of the California State Col-
leges and the California State Colleges. I reduce this
item from $343,442,373 to $342,870,597 by reducing
paragraph (a) personal services from $350,659,350 to
$350,192,340 and paragraph (b) operating expenses and
equipment from $80,352,604 to $80,347,838 and paragraph
(c). Reimbursements from $-87,569,581 to $-87,669,581.
I am also reducing the $313,849 for the educational
television station at San Diego to $213,849. (Reduction: $571,776).
I reduce this item for the following reasons:
San Diego Educational Television
$100,000
The $200,000 which already has been budgeted for the
station is adequate to reimburse its operations for
instructional programs on the campus.
Planning funds for year-round operation
50,000
Substantial amounts of funds have been spent in pre-
vious years at San Francisco State and the current
budget already contains some funds for this purpose.
State Health Benefits increase from $12 to $14
421,776
Funds for this purpose are to be provided from
existing resources.
Item 292
For support of Trustees of the California State Col-
leges and the California State Colleges. I reduce
this item from $5,909,602 to $4,733,922 by reducing
paragraph (a) from $3,331,680 to $2,156,000.
(Reduction: $1,175,680)
This action retains an augmentation of $2,156,000 for
educational opportunity program grants, including
3,500 first-year students at $440 each and 2,800 second-
year students at $220 per student. The state-supported
program for educationally disadvantaged students in the
California State Colleges is thereby increased over
100 percent with the grant portion reflecting a five-
fold increase by this action.
Item 296
For support of community college extended opportunity
programs, Board of Governors of the California Com-
munity Colleges. I reduce this item from $6,600,000
to $4,850,000. (Reduction: $1,750,000)
This action will provide an increase of nearly 50 per-
cent in this program over the current year. The
emphasis of the educational opportunity program at
the Community Colleges is consistent with the Master
Plan for Higher Education and will provide eligible
students with the greatest opportunity for academic
success.
-9-
#370
Item 298
For support of scholarship awards, State Scholarship
and Loan Commission. I reduce this item from
$30,422,705 to $29,447,194 by reducing paragraph (a)
Competitive Scholarship Program from $24,401,816
to $23,426,305. (Reduction: $975,511)
The legislative augmentation is being reduced by
$975, 511 because we have been informed by the State
Scholarship and Loan Commission that actual scholar-
ship need is now projected at $962 per award winner.
Item 300.4
For capital outlay, Department of General Services,
for working drawings, a state office building, San
Jose. I eliminate this item. (Eliminated:
$300,000)
Information provided by the Department of General
Services shows that a state constructed building in
San Jose cannot be economically justified at this
time.
Item 308.1
For capital outlay, University of California. I
eliminate this item. (Eliminated: $20,640,670)
I am opposed to the elimination of tuition. It is a
necessity for financing higher education. The Regents
of the University of California have themselves im-
plemented a tuition program. The importance of
tuition is increasing at every major university in
the United States.
Item 308.6
For capital outlay, University of California. I
reduce this item from $8,500,000 to $7,900,000 by
reducing paragraph (a) from $8,500,000 to $7,900,000.
(Reduction: $ -600,000)
The current appraisal by the Department of General
Services indicates that the funds retained in this
item will provide Sacramento County fair market
value for the land, improvements, equipment and
supplies to be transferred to the University of
California.
Item 318.2
For capital outlay, Department of Parks and Recrea-
tion. I reduce this item from $9,153,900 to
$7,053,900 by eliminating paragraphs (a-8) Refugio
State Beach acquisition $1,900,000 and (b-1) San
Diego Museum development $200,000. (Reduction:
$2,100,000)
The Refugio acquisition is not included in depart-
mental priority lists. Consequently there is no
present program to justify the purchase of this
property. The San Diego Museum funding is contained
in legislation I recently signed and is therefore not
required in this act.
Item 318.5
For capital outlay, Department of Fish and Game Salmon
and Steelhead Study. I eliminate this item.
(Eliminated: $10,000)
This study is not appropriately a capital outlay
item and if needed, should be accomplished within
the Department of Fish and Game support budget.
Section 10.4
For reappropriation of funds for Children's Centers
and family and child development. I eliminate this
section and delete the following language:
"Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, Item
274 (a) and Item 259(b), Budget Act of 1971 are re-
appropriated for the same purposes to the Department
of Education and Department of Social Welfare, respectively, and shall
be available until June 30, 1973."
I have eliminated this reappropriation of funds because the 1972-73
budget provides adequate funds for the program and it is more effective
management to maintain the program on an annual funding basis.

Section 10.7
For support of Department of Social Welfare. I
eliminate this section and delete the following
language:
"The unexpended balance of funds appropriated to the
Department of Social Welfare by Chapter 578, Statutes
of 1971, Section 39.7(b), is hereby reappropriated
to the Department of Education for the cost of child
care services and child care training programs pursuant
to the provisions of Sections 10811 and 19811.5,
Welfare and Institutions Code, provided, that the
Department of Finance may, by executive order, transfer
funds in augmentation of the amount scheduled in sub-
division (h) of Item 258 for purposes of meeting the
state matching fund requirements for child care
services provided for under Public Law 90-248."
Action on this section is taken in conjunction with my
reduction to Item 273.1. County child care programs
should continue to be under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Social Welfare since that department is
presently equipped to maintain the day-to-day county
supervision that is necessary. Section 10.7 would
have transferred the funds to the Department of
Education. Elimination of Item 10.7 will ensure that
unexpended child care funds will continue to be avail-
able in 1972-73 to Social Welfare for child care
programs.
Section 19.6
For early announcement of awards and grants by the
Scholarship and Loan Commission. I reduce the amounts
reflected in this section by a total of $1,750,899
by reducing the amount for scholarship awards, para-
graph (a), from $29,000,000 to $27,850,862 and the
amount for graduate fellowship awards, paragraph (b),
from $1,560,000 to $958,239. (Reduction: $1,750,899)
I have reduced amounts in this section in conformity
with action taken on Item 298 and also to maintain the
graduate fellowship program funding at approximately
$1,000,000.

Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced the following bill
has been vetoed.
SB 42 - Dills
Restores the responsible relatives' contribution scale
in the Old Age Security Program to pre-Welfare Reform
Act of 1971 levels.
REASON FOR VETO: "One of the fundamental goals of our welfare reform
program was to strengthen the role of the family as
the basic unit of our society. Much of the
accelerating increase in reliance on public assistance
in our society has been a direct result of the
disintegration of the family unit. One of the
foundations of our American way of life is that family
members accept moral and financial responsibility for
each other before turning to government for help.
Based on this principle, children with adequate incomes
are expected to reasonably contribute to the support
of their aged parents. Surely it would be unfair to
expect all the taxpayers to foot the entire bill where
there are children who are both financially responsible
and able to help. Nevertheless, after the Legislature
passed the 1971 Welfare Reform Act which established
a revised payment scale for responsible relatives,
it was found that the levels of liability in the new
scale imposed hardships on some adult children. As
a result, the Director of Social Welfare, through
administrative action, initiated a reduction of the
scale. The tremendous success of our welfare reforms
have provided the funds necessary to offset the revenue
losses which a reduction in the scale otherwise
would have caused. In addition, the counties have
been instructed to further reduce the liability on
adult children in hardship cases. These adjustments
will provide an effective means of alleviating
financial hardship on contributing relatives. In
view of the steps which the Director of Social Welfare
has taken to resolve the problem, I do not believe
Senate Bill 42 is necessary, nor would it provide
a sound fiscal basis for operating the OAS assistance
program. Accordingly, I am returning the bill
unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"This year I submitted two separate budgets to the legislature-
one to cover the actual cost of running state government, the other
totaling the funds the state collects and gives back to the cities and
counties to support programs administered at the local level. In this
way the taxpayer is better able to fix responsibility for the manner in
which his tax dollars are expended.
"The state operations budget amounts to only $2.2 billion dollars,
or less than a third of the overall budget. The total cost of operating
our state departments and agencies takes about seven cents out of the
total tax dollar.
"From these two budgets, I have today blue-pencilled more than a
quarter billion dollars. I hope your headline writers will note that
California- the largest state in population-- is still fourth in total
budgets behind the federal government, New York City and New York State.
"Nevertheless, I am convinced the budget I am signing today, will
adequately meet the needs of the people of California in the coming
year. And, if the legislature passes the tax reform measure I have
proposed, we will be able to provide the substantial and lasting
property tax relief which the taxpayers have sought for so long.
"This budget provides $190 million in additional funds to enhance
education at the local level. An additional $73 million appropriated
to local schools by the legislature not directed primarily toward the
relief of low-wealth school districts, will be held in reserve until
school financing reform legislation is enacted to meet the plight of
our low-wealth school districts. I hope the legislature will give this
matter the top priority attention it deserves.
"Here are some other major highlights of the budget I am signing.
"Despite the projections of declining enrollments at the University
of California and in the State University and Colleges we are providing
an additional $100 million in state support, including $54 million in
salary increases, during the coming year. We also are making available
some $11.4 million in state student aid and loan funds (including EOP)
for economically and educationally deprived students in our public and
private institutions of higher education an 88 percent increase over
the current year.
-1-
#374
During the three years before our welfare and Medi-Cal reforms
began to take hold, the cost of welfare and Medi-Cal was skyrocketing
an average of 24 percent a year, and threatening to bankrupt the state.
Because of our reforms, we will be able to operate these programs at
roughly only a third of that rate of increase during the coming year
at a savings in state funds alone of literally hundreds of millions of
dollars. We submitted the budget in January reflecting these additional savings
and now find we can further reduce the welfare load by $18 million.
"In line with our commitment to treat the mentally ill close to
home, we are increasing state support for mental health programs next
year by $40 million, most of which is for treatment programs operated
and administered by the counties.
"Because of the stringent economies which had to be made last
year due to the severe downturn in the economy, we were not able to
provide salary increases for state employees. Now, the picture has
brightened sufficiently so that we will be able to provide all state
workers, including university and state college employees, substantial
salary increase including inequity adjustments to bring their
salaries more closely into line with comparable jobs in the public and
private sectors.
"While all our departments have continued to improve efficiency,
I have to say this budget would not have been possible without the
reforms which have been made in Medi-Cal and welfare. Our projections
show that without the reforms, state costs alone for these programs
would have been at least $300 million higher during the coming year.
"Because we instituted these reforms, we can now look to the
future with confidence."

Conforms the procedures for the election of municipal

Reason for veto:
"This bill attempts to conform municipal court electio
procedures to those used in superior court elections.
As such, the relatively simple procedures used for the
election of municipal court judges would result in
unnecessary complications and inequity.
"This bill would contribute to the log jam in our
courts because of the time delay in filling vacancies
which might occur during election years. Moreover,
some judges would be required to face election only a
few months after they have been appointed to the bench
Finally, no transition period has been included in this
bill, and, as a result many judges would now face the
uncertainty of not knowing when their term in office
ends.
"I can see no reason for adding confusion to our
judicial election procedures. While this bill may be
a well-intentioned attempt to simplify these procedure:
in reality it can only complicate them."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that California has received
a $2.4 million federal grant as part of his state plan to combat
alcoholism.
The governor's plan, including the grant, has been approved by the
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Governor Reagan said more than $2.3 million of the grant will be
allocated to 40 of the state's 58 counties. The counties receiving funds
(list attached) have submitted their own plans to fight alcoholism that
have been approved by the state.
The governor said the funds would be made available to the counties
for use July 1, 1972 and thereafter.
Governor Reagan's plan provides a basic framework for the statewide
comprehensive planning for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation
of alcohol abuse and alcoholism. It provides the guidelines for county
planning agencies to administer their plans for the integration of
private, voluntary and public prevention, treatment and rehabilitation
services in the local community.
The federal funds were made available under provisions of the
Comprehensive Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Prevention, Treatment and
Rehabilitation Act of 1970.
Included in the grant is $85,000 to be allocated to the State
Department of Education for a statewide alcohol education project that
would place increased emphasis on prevention of alcohol abuse and
alcoholism.
An additional $27,000 will go to the State Department of
Rehabilitation to provide technical consultation for developing new local
alcoholism programs.

a consultant (the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology) and staffs of the City and County of
Los Angeles, and is multimodal in scope. The purpose
of the study, in addition to identifying which mode
or combination of modes can provide the greatest
service, is to develop a systematic means of citizen
participation in the planning and decision-making
processes.
"The Southern California Association of Governments is
also completing a comprehensive regional trans-
portation study scheduled for adoption in 1973.
"Because of the obvious impact on other elements of
the transportation system, I believe no action should
be taken now which would impose constraints on the

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement at
Summit Meadows in the High Sierra-Minarets area of California.
It is embargoed for use in Thursday P.Ms.
:
"I have asked you to join me here today, in this spectacular High
Sierra setting, to emphasize in the most dramatic way possible the
position we have taken as an administration since 1966 to protect the
Minarets from environmental harm.
"As you know, there are those who have been pressing for many years
for the creation of a trans-Sierra highway through these magnificent
mountains and meadows. Because such a crossing would do irreparable
harm to the wilderness beauty and wildlife of the area---and because we
simply don't need another highway---we have vigorously opposed such a
crossing. Our position has been shared and supported by Inyo and Mono
counties and enviro cental organizations such as the Sierra Club.
"Frankly, portions of the Minarets and John Muir Wilderness areas,
which flank us to the north and south, already are being used at a level
which, if increased, can only do further harm to the wolverine, deer,
bear, mountain lion and big horn sheep species which are becoming
endangered and cannot tolerate any further human disturbance. Any
additional motorized access through this part of the southern Sierra will
have a major adverse impact on the fragile wilderness values we hold
so dear.
"The U.S. Forest Service has proposed to spend $2.3 million to build
2.7 miles of high-speed road to replace a portion of the present dirt
road to Devils Postpile Monument. We have taken strong issue with that
proposal, not only because we believe it would be extravagant and
completely unnecessary, but also because such a short segment would
provide only a negligible access advantage.
"Even worse, it would represent a foot in the door to those intent
on paving yet another road across the Sierras in defilement of the
wilderness concept.
"During the past several months, we have stepped up our fight to
keep this from happening. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed.
- 1 -
#386
"Shortly before departing Sacramento today, I received a telegram
from the White House detailing the President's complete support for our
position. He is announcing that the proposed reconstruction of a portion
of the (2.7 mile) Minarets Highway will not be undertaken, and that the
proposed trans-Sierra highway will not be built.
"The President also agrees with our recommendations that damage
would be done to the environment by the development of these roadways.
He says the environmental considerations and the need to preserve the
atmosphere and ecology of the Sierra region clearly override the other
factors that had been urged in supporting the construction proposals.
"President Nixon has handed us the victory we have sought for so
long. For this action, he deserves the thanks of every Californian.
"Finally, I am today proposing a permanent solution to this
problem--to close this corridor forever by merging the existing Minarets
and John Muir Wilderness Areas into one. I am convinced that by such
action we can prevent the creation of a high-speed trans-Sierra highway
through this area for all time and preserve the vast, primitive beauty
of this wilderness for generations of Californians yet to come."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that the number of
Californians on welfare declined another 16,000 in May.
In a statement, the governor said:
"This is the second consecutive month and the 12th time in the past
14 months that the caseload has dropped, an unprecedented achievement.
"These new figures show that since we initiated our welfare reform
program there are 161,481 fewer people on welfare.
"If welfare had been allowed to go unchecked---had our reforms not
been implemented there would now be nearly 650,000 more people on the
welfare rolls than there actually are.
"Because we have halted the growth of welfare and reduced the
caseload, the heavy burden on the taxpayers has been lightened by a
quarter billion dollars.
"In Los Angeles County alone, it has been reported that the budget
for the new fiscal year is $102 million less and the county's tax rate
will be cut by 30.6 cents.
"The county's chief administrative officer (Arthur G. Will) has been
quoted as saying that the declining welfare costs are responsible for a
substantial portion of the reduction.
"And there is every evidence that what has occurred in Los Angeles
County is happening throughout the state.
"It is for this reason that we can look forward to a savings of
three quarters of a billion dollars in welfare expenditures in the new
fiscal year in California---tax money which otherwise would have had to
be spent had our welfare reforms not gone into effect."
(See caseload figures attached)
#######
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The number of people on welfare in April was 2,148,232. In May it
was 2,132,420. The peak caseload of 2,293,906 occurred in March of 1971.
Prior to Governor Reagan's welfare reforms, the caseload had been
increasing at nearly 40,000 a month.
Los Angeles welfare rolls, which hovered around the million mark last
year, are expected to average about 100,000 less this fiscal year,
according to Robert B. Carleson, director, State Department of Social
Welfare.

Statewide welfare payments were also down in May for the second
month in a row. These totalled $189,358,206 for March, $170,517,178 for
April and $166,627,043 for May.
Cash grant recipients decreased from 2,093,224 in April to
2,077,130 in May. The decrease resulted from a drop of 18,800 in Aid to
Families with Dependent Children balanced against an increase of 2,700
in the adult programs.
Recipients in the AFDC family group category, where a mother is the
head of the household, decreased by 6,100. Those in households where
the father is unemployed decreased by 12,900. There was an increase of
200 children in boarding homes and institutions.
In the adult programs, the caseload on Aid to the Blind rose by 200
and those on Aid to the Disabled by 3,200.

Governor Ronald Reagan today hailed the Army Reserve Officers
Training Corps (ROTC) as a vital element of national defense and appealed
for public support of the program.
The governor's appeal came at a time when thousands of ROTC cadets
from universities and colleges throughout the country are at Army
installations undergoing their annual summer field training which will
help prepare them for their future leadership roles.
"The importance of ROTC is evident from the fact the program
furnishes the Army approximately 80 percent of its new lieutenants,"
Governor Reagan said. "In World War I, ROTC provided 90,000 officers
for the reserve pool. More than 100,000 graduates served in World War II
"The consequences of cutting off this source of officers, as
advocated by some elements of our society, can well be imagined. Also,
there is a usually overlooked important aspect. The Army benefits from
the continuing infusion of progressive ideas and attitudes of the ROTC
graduates of 280 institutions of higher learning."
The ROTC program is praised by legislators, educators and business
executives for the qualities of leadership which have been demonstrated
by ROTC graduates in their civilian careers.
Four-year, three-year and two-year scholarships are available to
students who enroll in the ROTC program in colleges and universities.
This year the Army will award 2,055 scholarships which include tuition,
books and laboratory expenses, and $100 a month for 10 months of the
school year.
In addition to its contributions to the vital Army Reserve program,
ROTC also is a major source of career officers. Two 4-star general
officers, 15 lieutenant generals, 66 major generals and 28 brigadier
generals in today's active Army are ROTC graduates.
Also of importance to national defense is the Junior ROTC program
conducted at nearly 600 high schools, military institutes and military
junior colleges throughout the nation. This is a citizenship and
military instruction program which carries no service obligation.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that an unemployment
assistance fund is available to help individuals who are now unemployed
because of the recent flooding of Andrus and Brannon Islands, including
the town of Isleton.
Funds are provided through the Federal Relief Act, following the
President's designation of the locality as a "major disaster area,"
Governor Reagan said.
Payments could range from $55 to $75 weekly depending on the person'
earnings, and may continue for a maximum of 26 weeks.
Governor Reagan said all unemployment insurance offices of the
Department of Human Resources Development would begin taking applications
from the flood victims on Monday, July 3, and continue for a 30-day
period ending August 2, 1972.
The weekly amount to be paid will be computed from the applicant's
earnings in 1971 if in regular employment and from net earnings if
self-employed.
Governor Reagan said unemployment assistance may be paid if an
applicant:
1. Worked for another or was self-employed in the major disaster
area at the time of the disaster and no longer has a job or a place to
work in the area, or cannot get to a place of work as the result of the
damage caused by the disaster;
2. Lived in the disaster area at the time of the disaster and
cannot get to work because of the damage;
3. Was to begin working for another or in self-employment in the
disaster area when or after the disaster began and cannot do so as the
result of the disaster;
4. Cannot work (for another or in self-employment) after the
disaster began in the area because of an injury, illness, or any other
circumstance caused by the disaster;
5. Had been unemployed at the time of the disaster for a period of
less than 10 weeks and is prevented from obtaining work in the area as
the result of the disaster;
6. Has completed schooling or training for work no earlier than
10 weeks prior to the disaster and is prevented from obtaining work in
the area as the result of the disaster;
7. Has become the head of a household because the head of the
household died as the result of the disaster.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation by Assemblyman
E. Richard Barnes (R-San Diego) and Assemblywoman March Fong (D-Oakland)
designed to reduce the incidence of venereal disease in California.
Earlier this year, Governor Reagan augmented the 1971-72 state
budget by $238,000 and directed the State Department of Public Health
to broaden its program against the spread of VD.
Assemblyman Barnes introduced the legislation, which was part
of the governor's program, appropriating the needed funds. In
addition, the bill mandates that part of the funds are to be used by
the State Department of Education to improve teaching methods in
public schools to combat VD.
Mrs. Fong's bill provides that school districts may teach
venereal disease education courses, and requires that parents be
notified when the courses are to be offered.
Under the Fong bill, parents are also given the opportunity to
examine instructional material used in the classes and the right to
withdraw their children by written request.
"The spread of venereal disease has become one
of the major health problems in California," Governor Reagan said.
"I believe the legislation that I have signed today will have a major
impact on the problem, and VD will eventually be reduced to a much
lower level.
"This will not be accomplished overnight, but with effective
programs in our public schools and the Department of Health, I think
the near epidemic of VD can be ended."
