Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today issued the following
statement in commemoration of the Fourth of July:
"So many great words have been written, recited, spoken about
patriotism and our flag on occasions such as the Fourth of July - that
to fashion new words is difficult. But perhaps no new words are
necessary. The rich language of our flag---"Old Glory", the "Red, White
and Blue", the"Star Spangled Banner"---is with us whenever we rededicate
ourselves to the ideals for which it stands.
"The American flag is the American people. It is our country,
and our history; our victories and our defeats. Our flag is the 13
original Colonies, the 50 states, and the first man on the moon. It
is the Revolutionary War, the preservation of the Union, the liberation
of Europe.
"Our flag is the emancipation of the blacks and equality for
minorities as much as it is the assassination of Abraham Lincoln or
John F. Kennedy. It is progress and set-back; often danger and despair.
But always, in the end, it is jubilation and hope.
"on the Fourth of July, more than any other day, our flag
symbolizes these things. It represents the present and the past. But
more than anything else, it represents the future. When we pledge
allegiance to that symbol of freedom, we witness hope and promise for
the future of our country and for the people who are sharing allegiance
with us.
"Our flag is the linen that protects the American dream. It
is the document that insures our future. It is the treaty that can
bind nations together in a lasting peace.
"Recently we have seen our flag flown in some new places- in
Peking and in Moscow. How good it was to see that banner flying
courageously in an alien 1 and; bringing a message to the people of the
world that no president, no diplomatic treaty can convey.
"We communicate that message every time we pledge ourselves
to the principles for which the United States stands that we are one
nation; struggling to be a nation under God; striving for: liberty and
justice for all."

#398
Acting Governor Ed Reinecke late Monday declared a state of
emergency in three northern California counties because of severe
drought conditions.
The counties include Glenn, San Benito and Santa Clara. Governor
Reinecke's declaration was made immediately after he received the request
from the boards of supervisors of three counties.
Governor Reinecke's action clears the way for business and property
tax relief for hard-hit growers whose agricultural and livestock losses
may run over $8 million in the three counties.
"The drought has caused particularly severe conditions in Glenn,
San Benito and Santa Clara counties,' Governor Reinecke said, "and the
people in these areas must have assistance as soon as possible."
Estimated losses to livestock and agriculture in Glenn County total
an estimated $1.5 million, Reinecke said. The drought in Santa Clara
County has resulted in nearly a $1 million loss alone to the county's
strawberry crop.
San Benito County, which has suffered both winter freeze and spring
drought, has losses estimated at more than $5. 5 million.
Additional economic aid in the form of Farmers Home Administration
loans have been available since April to San Benito County growers under
a declaration by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz.
In declaring the state of emergency, Governor Reinecke cited the
magnitude of the agricultural losses, which, he noted, "are beyond the
control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the
affected counties."

eliminates the requirement of a permit from the Commissioner of
Immigration for the importation of persons born in either country.
"While these provisions in the Penal Code may never have been
actually used, statutes classifying people according to national origin
or race have no place in today's legal process," Reinecke said. "This
new legislation strikes down archaic statutes enacted over 100 years
ago as partof California's oriental exclusion laws."
Immigration today is strictly a federal matter and the
so-called "white slavery" laws protect all women without consideration

Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today warned leaders of California's
broadcasting industry that unless they take the initiative in setting
the ground rules for the issues of fairness, equal time, counter-
advertising, and objectivity in radio and television, the bureaucracy
of government will step in and do the job.
Speaking before the 37th annual meeting of the California Broad-
casters Association in the Del Monte Hyatt House in Monterey, Reinecke
said that broadcasters must "get involved" in government and politics
even when proposed legislation does not directly affect their own
industry.
"In broadcasting, as in every other American business enterprise,
government is playing a larger and larger role. Certain politicians and
well-intentioned citizen groups are crying for new laws that will force
compliance by your industry. Laws and regulations are not, by themselves
bad. However, there is a direction many people would like these laws
to take that lead nowhere else but to eventual government control,
regulation and monopoly of the broadcasting industry," Reinecke said.
Governor Reinecke noted that one critical area of immediate concern
is the issue of license renewal and cited a court decision which placed
in jeopardy the long-standing procedure for such renewals in which
stations could turn to their record of public service and performance.
through
He warned that/"causes and class action, coalition groups can challenge
license renewals and stations can be denied the right to appeal to their
record as an indication of performance.
"As a politician, having fought and won four elections, my currency
for each reelection has to be my past record. Broadcasting stations
should also have this right to their record, and the question of how
well they will perform in the future should be decided by how well they
have performed in the past," he said.
He warned of the over-extension of the Doctrine of Equal Time when
unknown and non-serious candidates when can demand equal time opposite major
political figures. He said/that happens then "this doctrine has been
carried too far."
Governor Reinecke said the effect of this doctrine could be seen
during the June 6 California primary election which he termed the "equal-
time-fear." Some stations, he said, refused to take a vocal position
for or against the many propositions either because of standing policy
or fear of equal time.
"I am encouraged," he said, "that so many stations have decided
that equal time, or no, they recognize the right and the obligation to
make their views known in their communities. I hope this right remains
forever and that those of you now doing so will continue to exercise that
obligation."
Reinecke said there is a need for practical guidelines for the
medium of electronic communications---a need which must be met by the
broadcasters, "the leaders of your industry, rather than some misguided
bureaucratic zealot. What I am talking about is involvement--deep,
personal, committed involvement in the affairs of government at all
levels.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ED REINECKE
Remarks before
California Broadcasters Association
July 13, 1972
Monterey, California
It has become politically fashionable these days to lambast the
broadcasting industry for any assortment. of ills and errors; from bias
to sensationalism, from lack of objectivity to lack of meaningful
involvement. So today, I am happy to report, will be no exception.
Not because I have a significant bone to pick with your industry,
but because I seldom get the opportunity to confront such a great
number of you at one time. Everyday, people in your business avail
themselves of people in my business to "do with what thou wilt." "
It's not often that I have the privilege of capturing you on the other
side of the microphone for a half hour to give you my version of today's
news.
Broadcast journalism is being put to the test today in the way
newspapers were put to the test in the days of John Peter Zenger.
Neither the tests nor the issues are the same,
however the
significance of the search for guidelines and book of ethics by this
new form of mass communications is.
The older questions of sedition, liable, slander have generally
been resolved, and newspapers can plot a long history of significant
development from the pamphleteering of Thomas Paine to the publishing
of the Pentagon Papers by the New York Times.

Broadcasting has not had time yet to develop a similar history.
Tremendous strides have been made in the few years that radio and
television have been serving us, but, as we rely on the airwaves to
bring us more substance and less entertainment, questions arise that
even Marshal McLuen, the high priest of the electronic media, cannot
answer. We call Milton Berle, a very great man and a significant
entertainer in his own right, the "Father of Television," when what
we really need today is a Benjamin Franklin.
I feel the emergence of such leadership is close at hand, and as
we grapple with the issues of fairness, equal time, counter-advertising,
objectivity and all the rest, we will see established a basic set of
ground rules to which we will be able to ascribe. But such leadership
must rise from the ranks of the industry itself. For if it does not,
if the men of broadcasting demure or delay, the men of government will
most assuredly step in to fill the void.
We are seeing this take place today. In broadcasting, as in every
other American business enterprise, government is playing a larger and
larger role. Certain politicians and well-intentioned citizen groups
are crying for new laws that will force compliance by your industry.
Laws and regulations are not, in themselves, bad. However, there is a
direction many people would like these laws to take that lead nowhere
else but to eventual government control, regulation and monoply of the
broadcasting industry.
Government already holds a powerful sword over broadcasting which
is being raised high and can cut with either edge. One edge would slash
more
California Broadcasters Association

additional rights from you as private owners and operators, leading
to further federal control. The other could cut a path toward
increased creativity, added public benefit and greater community
service. It will depend on you as much as it will depend on government
with which edge this sword will fall.
One critical area of immediate concern is the issue of license
renewal. A court decision last year has placed in jeopardy the lóng-
standing procedure for license renewal, throwing open the accepted
practice of granting stations renewed licenses if they demonstrate an
acceptable record of public service and performance.
In this day of fascination with causes and class action, coalition
groups can challenge license renewals, and stations can be denied the
right to appeal to their record as an indication of performance. As
a politician, having fought and won four elections, my currency for
each reelection has to be my past record. Broadcasting stations should
also have this right to their record, and the question of how well they
will perform in the future should be decided by how well they have
performed in the past.
There is a great need for an orderly process in the procedure for
license renewal; such a process as that proposed by Congressman Joel
Broyhill of Virginia which would extend the licensing period up to
five years and reaffirm the long-standing policy of renewing the
licenses of those stations which have demonstrated a significant effort
to serve the people and live up to the regulations of the Communications
Act.

The "Access Rule" is another issue that must be settled soon and
one which can lead to either increased government control of what is
dispensed over the air waves or practical guidelines for the industry
itself. The Access Rule, which is no more than an extension of the
Equal Time Doctrine from politics to products, essentially requires
companies who advertise a product to provide a platform for anyone who
wants to make a statement against that product. This "Counter-advertising
as it has been called and sactioned by the FCC, grants unrestricted
privilege for the presentation of opposing viewpoints challenging an
advertiser's claim. They would not have to pay for air time and would
have no selling obligation.
The evils of counter-advertising were spelled out in a recent
editorial in the Sacramento Union which warned, "The New Populist-
federal coalition, if not checked, will spark bureaucratic decisions
which seriously will curtail broadcasters' freedom of expression and,
ultimately, will cause advertisers to abandon the commercial broadcasting
medium - just as the cigarette industry did."
I think what we are seeing here is the over-extension of a
necessary principal into something that is unnecessary and, in the end,
stands to remove advertising as a source of support and turn the control
room over to government.
The Doctrine of Equal Time is necessary and, I am sure, one that we
all support. When there are two or more sides on major issues of
broad public interest, all sides should be heard. But when an unknown
more
California Broadcasters Association
- 5 -
nonserious candidate is able to demand equal time opposite major
political figures, then this doctrine has been carried too far.
On issues, too, many radio and TV executives have been scared to
the top of their antennas because of the fear that airing their views
on a legitimate issue will bring shouts of protest from non-legitimate
groups and people.
We saw the equal-time-fear-response just this spring during the
primary campaign. Many ballot propositions faced California voters
on June 6, and many of them - such as Proposition 9 - were both
complex and confusing. The need was apparent that complete information
had to be presented to the voters by all the media - not just through
straight news but in editorial opinion.
While most leading broadcasting stations took a vocal position for
or against the more serious propositions, all too many refused either
because of standing policy or fear of equal time. I am encouraged that
so many stations have decided that equal time or no, they recognize
the right and the obligation to make their views known in their communi-
ties. I hope this right remains forever and that those of you now doing
so will continue to exercise that obligation.
There is a need for practical guidelines for the medium of electronic
communications - a need which must be met by you, the leaders of your
industry, rather than some misguided bureaucratic zealot. What I am
talking about is involvement - deep, personal, committed involvement
in the affairs of government at all levels. It is in this area that

you, like all businessmen in this country, have the most to gain through
performance and the most to lose through inactivity. By involvement,
I do not mean the airing of a public service message or 30 second
editorial 10 times a day and then wisking your hands clean as if the
community will automatically spring into action because you have alerted
them to some pressing need. I'm talking about getting up from your
mics and going out from behind your studio cameras to take part in the
process of government rather than standing back to comment on it.
It takes a lot more than dictating a letter or writing a check.
Progress doesn't come that cheap. It takes a commitment and a desire
to sacrifice. It takes an awareness of how good it can be in the
future, as much as how good you thought it was in the past.
But most of all it takestime - time'to get involved in government
and politics. And that, I am afraid, is one commodity that our work-
oriented businessmen are least prepared to give.
John Connally said that, "One of the greatest weaknesses of
businessmen is that they don't want to get involved in politics. They
spend 15 hours a day in their businesses but they won't spend 10 minutes
a week working on the thing that is most important to them - governmental
relations. This is why businessmen don't have the wallop they had in
the past."
Connally says that businessmen do not have the "wallop" they had
in the past. So what does it take to regain some of that wallop?
more
California Broadcasters Association

Well, it takes a lot more than a flurry of activity whenever an issue
or piece of legislation comes up that directly involves the broadcasting
industry. Everyone expects that.
When I was serving in Congress from 1965 to 1969, we always knew
that businessmen would be on hand whenever a bill was pending directly
affecting them. And we knew that representatives from the broadcasting
industry would be very visable when an issue such as fairness, or
advertising or licensing was being heard.
But where was everybody - where were you! - when we were talking
about education, space, defense spending, welfare, foreign aid, consumer
rights and the other critical issues? If you wanted your lawmakers to
listen to you when legislation affecting broadcasting was on the docket,
where were you when they needed your opinions on the space shuttle or
the SST?
There are many things I think you can do to become involved in
the governmental process. One of them, as I mentioned earlier, is to
establish a definite editorial policy and take a stance on all critical
issues, expressing that position and offering equal time for legitimate
response. I don't see why every radio and television station in
California cannot seek to fulfill this need in their communities.
Another thing is to take concerted action in the affairs of your
community, whether local, state or national. Biting editorial comment
by itself is a cop out. It shoves the burden of responsibility back on
the shoulders of the citizens. The communities in this state that stand
to enjoy a better quality of life are those in which the men and women
of broadcasting are taking part in total community development.

There is also a serious need to establish rapport with the people
you have sent to Sacramento to serve you. Howard Smiley is doing an
admirable job for you in Sacramento but he can't do it alone. I am
grateful everytime he calls me up to say that so-and-so is here and
would like to have lunch with me. Not so much because I enjoy a free
lunch, but because I enjoy getting together with you more often than
we usually have a chance to do.
You know one of the maxims of politics is that whenever a politician
is in town and has a little time he should make it a point to drop by
and see the local newspaper editors and radio and TV managers. Well it
works the other way too. Whenever you're in town, drop by and see us!
As I see it, businessmen, particularly those of you in the business
of broadcasting, can do one of two things: You can remain aloof from
the action of politics and government, bearing down as you do under the
press of increased restrictions, regulations and mounting negative
public opinion. Or you can become involved. You can win back some of
the wallop. You can become part of the solution, instead of remaining
part of the problem.

"Mc Govern's toughest job now will be to convince the American
people that his platform can be endorsed by others besides those

prehend that policies and presidents are not made by splintered
factions from either extreme. They are made by the great majority
of people who share a common middle ground and belief that the
history of America is not as pock marked with sin and fault as
Mc Govern might have us think.
"Policy and presidents are made by the working man, the
businessman, the hard hat, the house wife, the young, the great
body of minorities. These are the people of America who will
decide the future. These are the people who will determine who
our next president will be.
"Senator Mc Govern apparently has not reserved space for these
people in his new party.
"I think the two issues that will hurt Mc Govern most will
be his stance on Vietnam, his plans for redistribution of the
nation's wealth.

Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today announced that he would seek
immediate legislation to improve facilities at the San Onofre Bluffs
State Beach in northern San Diego County "a year ahead of schedule."
Reinecke's statement was made shortly after John Ehrlichman,
special advisor to President Nixon on domestic affairs, announced
today that the General Services Administration in Washington had
agreed to pay half of the estimated $350,000 for construction of water
and sewage facilities at the state beach.
"I am extremely pleased that the federal government has joined
California in upgrading needed facilities at what I consider to be
one of Southern California's most valuable recreational beaches,"
Reinecke said.
"This new addition to the state park system offers 3.5 miles of
unspoiled beach. It is ideal for swimming, fishing, sunbathing or
just plain strolling.
"The cost to the state of $175,000 for improving its facilities
is a bargain, indeed."
The park had been part of the U.S. Marine Corps' installation
at Camp Pendleton since 1942. Prior to that it was privately owned
by the Rancho Santa Margarita y los Flores. It was opened to the
public by the California Department of Parks and Recreation on April 3,
1971, after President Nixon was instrumental in having the Marine Corps
turn the beach over to the state for public use on a $1 a year lease.

Acting Governor Ed Reinecke said today that without the massive
reforms of welfare and Medi-Cal sought and achieved by Governor Reagan,
the state would have had no cash balance with which to begin the new
fiscal year.
He credited the unprecedented success of these reforms, along with
continued efficiencies and economies in the running of state government,
an improved economy and the enactment of income tax withholding, with
enabling the state to finish fiscal 1971-72 (ending June 30) some $256
million in the black.
"This contrasts sharply,' he said, "with the months before Governor
Reagan took office when the state was spending a million dollars a day
more than it was taking in.
"Without the cash balance now on hand and the firm prospect of
continued savings in the future, the kind of massive homeowner tax relief
and increased assistance to low wealth school districts which the
governor has proposed to the legislature would simply not be possible,"
he said.
"I hope that the legislature will accomplish this task in the days
immediately ahead to end the increasingly unfair and inequitable burden
on California's homeowners working men and women who need and deserve
the guaranteed property tax relief this program will provide, " Reinecke
added.

Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today announced that he has
intentionally allowed a bill to become law without his signature.
The bill, SB 1452 (Moscone D-SF), puts Senate Constitutional
Amendment No. 72 on the November ballot which would permit school district
bonds to be issued on approval of a simple majority, rather than two-
thirds, of all votes cast for bonds to repair, reconstruct or replace
school buildings in compliance with the Field Act. Without this bill,
the Amendment would not go on the ballot until June of 1974.
"I decided not to sign this bill because my signature could be
interpreted as approving something to which I am definitely opposed.
However, I am in favor of allowing the people to decide this issue as
soon as possible," Reinecke said.
"A veto would delay a decision on the critical issue of bonds
to finance repairs for schools that may be damaged in earthquakes until
1974."
The Field Act sets minimum earthquake safety standards for schools
which must be met by school districts by 1975. Reinecke said that
waiting until 1974 to resolve this issue would seriously hamper attempts
to meet the requirements of the act six months later making it impossible
to bring them up to specification and causing them to be abandoned.
Reinecke doubted that the amendment would pass.
"Any reduction of the two-thirds voting requirement can
perpetuate the problem of rising property taxes" Reinecke said. "The two
thirds vote requirement should not be modified for any type of bond
issue at a time when increasing property taxes are a serious problem.
In all probability, any decrease in the vote requirement will result
in more bonds being voted, and the resulting lien upon property can
only mean higher taxes."
Article 4, Section 10 (a) of the California Constitution provides
that a bill presented to the governor that is not returned after 12
days becomes a statute. Midnight Wednesday, July 20, was the last
day.

has been vetoed:
SB 499 - Alquist
Permits academic and nonacademic employees of state
colleges to inspect their personnel file. The
employee is also given the right to review and comment
upon any derogatory information entered in his file.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I àm vetoing this bill at the request of the State
College Trustees and the Chancellor. They do not
argue against the intent of SB 499 which requires open
personnel files; but have very serious problems with
the approach which this legislation would impose.
"This bill touches on a particularly sensitive area
with respect to the records for academic personnel
because of the traditional peer judgment process and
the widespread use of faculty committees in the
appointment, retention and tenure process. I share
the Trustees' concern that the willingness of faculty
members to render objective and meaningful
evaluations of their fellows could be impaired by
the requirement that personnel files be open on each
campus.
"The Trustees currently have authority in this area,
and I believe these provisions should not be mandated
upon them. The Trustees employ about 25,000 people,
and I think these types of changes should be part
of a positive, total, personnel management program
adopted by the Trustees. Each state University or
college campus has changing needs as they mature.
This bill would deprive the system of the flexibility
required for effective personnel practices.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

and appreciation for the vital role the states must continue to play
in our federal system.
"And, on trips I have made for the president to the Far East and

Governor Ronald Reagan today accepted a $420,000 federal grant from
the National Science Foundation to provide training for unemployed
veterans and aerospace workers to become science and math teachers in
intercity secondary schools.
The presentation was made by Dr. H. Guyford Stever, director of the
National Science Foundation.
The Urban Science Intern Teaching Program is designed to help solve
a shortage of science and math teachers in schools located in
disadvantaged areas. It encompasses a special curriculum to train
unemployed aerospace workers and veterans who have academic degrees.
The special curriculum was designed by the department of science
and mathematics at the California State University, Fullerton, under the
direction of Dr. George C. Turner, chairman of the department, and
Dr. Don Shields, CSU, Fullerton, president.
"This program will alleviate some of the unemployment problems of
aerospace workers and veterans,' Governor Reagan said. "It will also
provide quality teachers of science and math in our intercity schools,
create an opportunity for new careers and improve cooperative community
relations with our institutions of higher learning, he added.
Governor Reagan also praised Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke for his
efforts and leadership in bringing this program to California.
The ceremony was also attended by four interns who will be involved
in the program- Mrs. Anne B. Hanratty, an Anaheim mother of three with
a Ph.D in Chemistry; Willie A. Bailey, Fullerton, a former Lockheed
mathematician; Harry Kempt, an ex-nuclear physicist from Arcadia and
29-year-old veteran Charles H. Noyes, Jr., Los Angeles, who has a degree
in mechanical engineering.

Governor Ronald Reagan today made the following statement:
"At this moment the Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to be
discussing the bipartisan property tax relief bill which the Assembly
Speaker and I have submitted to the legislature,
"The hopes of literally millions of Californians especially our
overtaxed homeowners who for too long have had to shoulder an unfair
tax burden are riding on a successful outcome in this committee.
Passage also will help assure that, once and for all, no youngster
attending public school will be deprived of an adequate basic education
simply because his parents happen to live in a poor school district.
"By pulling together, on this extremely critical issue, the Assembly
leadership, legislators of both parties and this administration have
been able to compromise on a responsible, positive program which can
accomplish these long sought goals while guaranteeing a permanent halt
in the spiraling property tax burden we all have suffered in recent years
"I want to emphasize that the property tax relief this program
offers is permanent. The controls are tightly drawn so that the level
of the property tax will be in the hands of the local voter directly
at the ballot box. This is why the homeowner relief we have proposed
is guaranteed, both now and in the years to come.
"The members of the Senate Finance Committee hold the key as to
whether or not the people of California will, in fact, receive the kind
of property tax relief they so desperately want and deserve.
"For too many years Sacramento has promised, but not delivered.
Today, the Senate Finance Committee can help us deliver---and make good
our promise of genuine, lasting tax relief. The people who sent us here
to do that have waited long enough. They are weary of waiting.
"The members of the committee can and I trust will help us end
that long wait---TODAY."

Governor Ronald Reagan today directed the State Air Resources
Board (ARB) to schedule a hearing in August in the Riverside-Los Angeles
area on the feasibility of converting all vehicles in the South Coast
Air Basin to gaseous fuels within the next four years.
The ARB will report its findings to the governor by August 31, 1972.
Governor Reagan also directed Frank Walton, secretary of the Business
and Transportation Agency, and Norman B. Livermore, Jr., secretary of
the Resources Agency, to report by August 31 on the feasibility of
converting all state vehicles in the basin to gaseous fuels.
"Although I am confident that existing local and state air pollution
control programs in the south basin will improve air quality in time, I
believe the problem is serious enough to warrant taking additional steps
now," Governor Reagan said. "I know the problems are difficult, that
they touch everyone in the basin, but I also know we can win this fight."
The governor today met with the task force he appointed in June to
study a proposal presented to him by a delegation headed by Riverside
Mayor Ben Lewis calling for the governor to declare a state of emergency
because of smog conditions and to order the conversion of all vehicles
in the basin to gaseous fuels by 1976.
Governor Reagan said he has received a formal opinion from State
Attorney General Evelle Younger informing him that the Riverside proposal
exceeds his legal authority. However, Governor Reagan said the smog
problem is of such concern that in addition to the August hearing on
the Riverside proposal, he has taken the following actions:
--Directed the ARB to determine by December 31 of this year whether
the present program of requiring exhaust control devices on 1955-65
automobiles as they are resold can be accelerated, or even expanded to
include all such automobiles in the basin whether or not they are resold;
--Directed the ARB and the State Department of Motor Vehicles to
extend crankcase and exhaust smog control device requirements to the
eastern portions of Riverside and San Bernardino counties;
--Directed his task force on periodic vehicle inspection to speed
up the submittal of its report on the costs, benefits and methods of
vehicle inspection to October 1, instead of November 31;
- 1 -
#439
--Directed the ARB by September 15 to design and propose new
research projects on controlling oxides of nitrogen from non-vehicular
sources, and on controlling hydrocarbons which are emitted into the air
from the fuel tanks and carburetors of pre-1970 vehicles. He directed
the ARB to fund the new research project on losses from the carburetors
and fuel tanks, and called upon Secretaries Walton and Livermore to seek
legislative authority to fund the research on oxides of nitrogen from
the California Environmental Protection Program authorized by the 1970
legislature;
--Directed the State Department of Public Health to take immediate
steps to develop and propose, by August 31, an environmental health
surveillance system with emphasis on the health problems in the eastern
portion of the basin.
Governor Reagan also reported that the state this month established
an air pollution monitoring station in Riverside to improve the collection
of air quality data in the area.
The governor encouraged the basin's local agencies to continue to
improve basinwide planning for traffic management, public transportation
and land use as a means of further reducing air pollution.
These would include promotion of car pools through public information
programs, and incentives such as preferred parking spaces and reduced
parking fees for car pools; improve traffic flow on city streets to
minimize stop and go traffic; and continue efforts to improve air quality
measurement in the Riverside area to establish more accurately the
pollutant concentrations and trends.
Members of the governor's task force are John Maga, executive
officer of the ARB, chairman; Harold W. Sullivan, former commissioner of
the California Highway Patrol and presently a member of the ARB;
Frederick B. Hodges, M.D., director of the State Department of Public
Health; John M. Heslep, Ph.D., deputy director of the public health
department in charge of environmental health and consumer protection;
and George A. Hill, assistant state highway engineer.

Human Relations Agency Secretary Dr. Earl W. Brian today announced
Governor Reagan has signed a bill to provide funds so that the State
Personnel Board can adjust the salaries of state correctional officers
to reflect updated salary inequity data.
The bill, SB 104, by Senator H. L. Richardson (R-Arcadia) augments
the salary increase fund up to $5 million for officers and employees
working in correctional institutions throughout the state. "This
correction of inequity of pay for similar jobs has been long needed,"
statedDr. Brian.
"The governor approved the augmentation because a recent study by
the State Personnel Board staff indicated that a larger inequity increase
was justified to reach closer balance with comparable employees,"
Dr. Brian said.
Senator Richardson, who spearheaded the bill through the legislature
indicated that the pay raise would be effective as soon as it is
approved by the Federal Pay Board in Washington. The amount of the
raise is designed so that it will be effective July 1, 1972, providing
federal concurrence is received.

It is our country,\nand our history; our victories and our defeats. Our flag is the 13\noriginal Colonies, the 50 states, and the first man on the moon. It\nis the Revolutionary War, the preservation of the Union, the liberation\nof Europe.\n\"Our flag is the emancipation of the blacks and equality for\nminorities as much as it is the assassination of Abraham Lincoln or\nJohn F. Kennedy. It is progress and set-back; often danger and despair.\nBut always, in the end, it is jubilation and hope.\n\"on the Fourth of July, more than any other day, our flag\nsymbolizes these things. It represents the present and the past. But\nmore than anything else, it represents the future. When we pledge\nallegiance to that symbol of freedom, we witness hope and promise for\nthe future of our country and for the people who are sharing allegiance\nwith us.\n\"Our flag is the linen that protects the American dream. It\nis the document that insures our future. It is the treaty that can\nbind nations together in a lasting peace.\n\"Recently we have seen our flag flown in some new places- in\nPeking and in Moscow. How good it was to see that banner flying\ncourageously in an alien 1 and; bringing a message to the people of the\nworld that no president, no diplomatic treaty can convey.\n\"We communicate that message every time we pledge ourselves\nto the principles for which the United States stands that we are one\nnation; struggling to be a nation under God; striving for: liberty and\njustice for all.\"\n#######\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR R ALD REAGAN\nRELEASE:\nmediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n7-5-72\n#397\nActing Governor Ed Reinecke today announced the following bills\nhave been signed:\nAB 71 - Fong\nProvides that the governing board of a school\nChapter 226\ndistrict may offer units of instruction in venereal\ndisease education.

Certain politicians and\nwell-intentioned citizen groups are crying for new laws that will force\ncompliance by your industry. Laws and regulations are not, by themselves\nbad. However, there is a direction many people would like these laws\nto take that lead nowhere else but to eventual government control,\nregulation and monopoly of the broadcasting industry,\" Reinecke said.\nGovernor Reinecke noted that one critical area of immediate concern\nis the issue of license renewal and cited a court decision which placed\nin jeopardy the long-standing procedure for such renewals in which\nstations could turn to their record of public service and performance.\nthrough\nHe warned that/\"causes and class action, coalition groups can challenge\nlicense renewals and stations can be denied the right to appeal to their\nrecord as an indication of performance.\n\"As a politician, having fought and won four elections, my currency\nfor each reelection has to be my past record. Broadcasting stations\nshould also have this right to their record, and the question of how\nwell they will perform in the future should be decided by how well they\nhave performed in the past,\" he said.\nHe warned of the over-extension of the Doctrine of Equal Time when\nunknown and non-serious candidates when can demand equal time opposite major\npolitical figures. He said/that happens then \"this doctrine has been\ncarried too far.\"\nGovernor Reinecke said the effect of this doctrine could be seen\nduring the June 6 California primary election which he termed the \"equal-\ntime-fear.\" Some stations, he said, refused to take a vocal position\nfor or against the many propositions either because of standing policy\nor fear of equal time.\n\"I am encouraged,\" he said, \"that so many stations have decided\nthat equal time, or no, they recognize the right and the obligation to\nmake their views known in their communities. I hope this right remains\nforever and that those of you now doing so will continue to exercise that\nobligation.\"\nReinecke said there is a need for practical guidelines for the\nmedium of electronic communications---a need which must be met by the\nbroadcasters, \"the leaders of your industry, rather than some misguided\nbureaucratic zealot. What I am talking about is involvement--deep,\npersonal, committed involvement in the affairs of government at all\nlevels.\n\"It is in this area that you, like all businessmen in this country,\nhave the most to gain through performance and the most to lose through\nLIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ED REINECKE\nRemarks before\nCalifornia Broadcasters Association\nJuly 13, 1972\nMonterey, California\nIt has become politically fashionable these days to lambast the\nbroadcasting industry for any assortment. of ills and errors; from bias\nto sensationalism, from lack of objectivity to lack of meaningful\ninvolvement. So today, I am happy to report, will be no exception.\nNot because I have a significant bone to pick with your industry,\nbut because I seldom get the opportunity to confront such a great\nnumber of you at one time. Everyday, people in your business avail\nthemselves of people in my business to \"do with what thou wilt.\" \"\nIt's not often that I have the privilege of capturing you on the other\nside of the microphone for a half hour to give you my version of today's\nnews.\nBroadcast journalism is being put to the test today in the way\nnewspapers were put to the test in the days of John Peter Zenger.\nNeither the tests nor the issues are the same,\nhowever the\nsignificance of the search for guidelines and book of ethics by this\nnew form of mass communications is.\nThe older questions of sedition, liable, slander have generally\nbeen resolved, and newspapers can plot a long history of significant\ndevelopment from the pamphleteering of Thomas Paine to the publishing\nof the Pentagon Papers by the New York Times.\nmore\nCalifornia Broadc. ters Association\n- 2 -\nBroadcasting has not had time yet to develop a similar history.\nTremendous strides have been made in the few years that radio and\ntelevision have been serving us, but, as we rely on the airwaves to\nbring us more substance and less entertainment, questions arise that\neven Marshal McLuen, the high priest of the electronic media, cannot\nanswer. We call Milton Berle, a very great man and a significant\nentertainer in his own right, the \"Father of Television,\" when what\nwe really need today is a Benjamin Franklin.\nI feel the emergence of such leadership is close at hand, and as\nwe grapple with the issues of fairness, equal time, counter-advertising,\nobjectivity and all the rest, we will see established a basic set of\nground rules to which we will be able to ascribe. But such leadership\nmust rise from the ranks of the industry itself. For if it does not,\nif the men of broadcasting demure or delay, the men of government will\nmost assuredly step in to fill the void.\nWe are seeing this take place today. In broadcasting, as in every\nother American business enterprise, government is playing a larger and\nlarger role. Certain politicians and well-intentioned citizen groups\nare crying for new laws that will force compliance by your industry.\nLaws and regulations are not, in themselves, bad. However, there is a\ndirection many people would like these laws to take that lead nowhere\nelse but to eventual government control, regulation and monoply of the\nbroadcasting industry.\nGovernment already holds a powerful sword over broadcasting which\nis being raised high and can cut with either edge. One edge would slash\nmore\nCalifornia Broadcasters Association\n- 3 -\nadditional rights from you as private owners and operators, leading\nto further federal control. The other could cut a path toward\nincreased creativity, added public benefit and greater community\nservice. It will depend on you as much as it will depend on government\nwith which edge this sword will fall.\nOne critical area of immediate concern is the issue of license\nrenewal. A court decision last year has placed in jeopardy the lóng-\nstanding procedure for license renewal, throwing open the accepted\npractice of granting stations renewed licenses if they demonstrate an\nacceptable record of public service and performance.\nIn this day of fascination with causes and class action, coalition\ngroups can challenge license renewals, and stations can be denied the\nright to appeal to their record as an indication of performance. As\na politician, having fought and won four elections, my currency for\neach reelection has to be my past record. Broadcasting stations should\nalso have this right to their record, and the question of how well they\nwill perform in the future should be decided by how well they have\nperformed in the past.\nThere is a great need for an orderly process in the procedure for\nlicense renewal; such a process as that proposed by Congressman Joel\nBroyhill of Virginia which would extend the licensing period up to\nfive years and reaffirm the long-standing policy of renewing the\nlicenses of those stations which have demonstrated a significant effort\nto serve the people and live up to the regulations of the Communications\nAct.\nmore\nCalifornia Broadcasters Association\n- 4 -\nThe \"Access Rule\" is another issue that must be settled soon and\none which can lead to either increased government control of what is\ndispensed over the air waves or practical guidelines for the industry\nitself. The Access Rule, which is no more than an extension of the\nEqual Time Doctrine from politics to products, essentially requires\ncompanies who advertise a product to provide a platform for anyone who\nwants to make a statement against that product. This \"Counter-advertising\nas it has been called and sactioned by the FCC, grants unrestricted\nprivilege for the presentation of opposing viewpoints challenging an\nadvertiser's claim. They would not have to pay for air time and would\nhave no selling obligation.\nThe evils of counter-advertising were spelled out in a recent\neditorial in the Sacramento Union which warned, \"The New Populist-\nfederal coalition, if not checked, will spark bureaucratic decisions\nwhich seriously will curtail broadcasters' freedom of expression and,\nultimately, will cause advertisers to abandon the commercial broadcasting\nmedium - just as the cigarette industry did.\"\nI think what we are seeing here is the over-extension of a\nnecessary principal into something that is unnecessary and, in the end,\nstands to remove advertising as a source of support and turn the control\nroom over to government.\nThe Doctrine of Equal Time is necessary and, I am sure, one that we\nall support. When there are two or more sides on major issues of\nbroad public interest, all sides should be heard. But when an unknown\nmore\nCalifornia Broadcasters Association\n- 5 -\nnonserious candidate is able to demand equal time opposite major\npolitical figures, then this doctrine has been carried too far.\nOn issues, too, many radio and TV executives have been scared to\nthe top of their antennas because of the fear that airing their views\non a legitimate issue will bring shouts of protest from non-legitimate\ngroups and people.\nWe saw the equal-time-fear-response just this spring during the\nprimary campaign. Many ballot propositions faced California voters\non June 6, and many of them - such as Proposition 9 - were both\ncomplex and confusing. The need was apparent that complete information\nhad to be presented to the voters by all the media - not just through\nstraight news but in editorial opinion.\nWhile most leading broadcasting stations took a vocal position for\nor against the more serious propositions, all too many refused either\nbecause of standing policy or fear of equal time. I am encouraged that\nso many stations have decided that equal time or no, they recognize\nthe right and the obligation to make their views known in their communi-\nties. I hope this right remains forever and that those of you now doing\nso will continue to exercise that obligation.\nThere is a need for practical guidelines for the medium of electronic\ncommunications - a need which must be met by you, the leaders of your\nindustry, rather than some misguided bureaucratic zealot. What I am\ntalking about is involvement - deep, personal, committed involvement\nin the affairs of government at all levels. It is in this area that\nmore\nCalifornia Broadcasters Association\n- 6 1.\nyou, like all businessmen in this country, have the most to gain through\nperformance and the most to lose through inactivity. By involvement,\nI do not mean the airing of a public service message or 30 second\neditorial 10 times a day and then wisking your hands clean as if the\ncommunity will automatically spring into action because you have alerted\nthem to some pressing need. I'm talking about getting up from your\nmics and going out from behind your studio cameras to take part in the\nprocess of government rather than standing back to comment on it.\nIt takes a lot more than dictating a letter or writing a check.\nProgress doesn't come that cheap. It takes a commitment and a desire\nto sacrifice. It takes an awareness of how good it can be in the\nfuture, as much as how good you thought it was in the past.\nBut most of all it takestime - time'to get involved in government\nand politics. And that, I am afraid, is one commodity that our work-\noriented businessmen are least prepared to give.\nJohn Connally said that, \"One of the greatest weaknesses of\nbusinessmen is that they don't want to get involved in politics. They\nspend 15 hours a day in their businesses but they won't spend 10 minutes\na week working on the thing that is most important to them - governmental\nrelations. This is why businessmen don't have the wallop they had in\nthe past.\"\nConnally says that businessmen do not have the \"wallop\" they had\nin the past. So what does it take to regain some of that wallop?\nmore\nCalifornia Broadcasters Association\n- 7 -\nWell, it takes a lot more than a flurry of activity whenever an issue\nor piece of legislation comes up that directly involves the broadcasting\nindustry. Everyone expects that.\nWhen I was serving in Congress from 1965 to 1969, we always knew\nthat businessmen would be on hand whenever a bill was pending directly\naffecting them. And we knew that representatives from the broadcasting\nindustry would be very visable when an issue such as fairness, or\nadvertising or licensing was being heard.\nBut where was everybody - where were you! - when we were talking\nabout education, space, defense spending, welfare, foreign aid, consumer\nrights and the other critical issues? If you wanted your lawmakers to\nlisten to you when legislation affecting broadcasting was on the docket,\nwhere were you when they needed your opinions on the space shuttle or\nthe SST?\nThere are many things I think you can do to become involved in\nthe governmental process. One of them, as I mentioned earlier, is to\nestablish a definite editorial policy and take a stance on all critical\nissues, expressing that position and offering equal time for legitimate\nresponse. I don't see why every radio and television station in\nCalifornia cannot seek to fulfill this need in their communities.\nAnother thing is to take concerted action in the affairs of your\ncommunity, whether local, state or national. Biting editorial comment\nby itself is a cop out. It shoves the burden of responsibility back on\nthe shoulders of the citizens. The communities in this state that stand\nto enjoy a better quality of life are those in which the men and women\nof broadcasting are taking part in total community development.\nmore\nCalifornia Broadcasters Association\n- 8 -\nThere is also a serious need to establish rapport with the people\nyou have sent to Sacramento to serve you. Howard Smiley is doing an\nadmirable job for you in Sacramento but he can't do it alone. I am\ngrateful everytime he calls me up to say that so-and-so is here and\nwould like to have lunch with me. Not so much because I enjoy a free\nlunch, but because I enjoy getting together with you more often than\nwe usually have a chance to do.\nYou know one of the maxims of politics is that whenever a politician\nis in town and has a little time he should make it a point to drop by\nand see the local newspaper editors and radio and TV managers. Well it\nworks the other way too. Whenever you're in town, drop by and see us!\nAs I see it, businessmen, particularly those of you in the business\nof broadcasting, can do one of two things: You can remain aloof from\nthe action of politics and government, bearing down as you do under the\npress of increased restrictions, regulations and mounting negative\npublic opinion. Or you can become involved. You can win back some of\nthe wallop. You can become part of the solution, instead of remaining\npart of the problem.\n####\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RC LD REAGAN\nRELEAS,\nImmediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n7-13-72\n#415\nActing Governor Ed Reinecke today signed legislation\ncreating a state Solid Waste Management Board within the State Resources\nAgency and requiring that board to adopt a state policy for solid waste\nmanagement and the State Solid Waste Resource Recovery Program by\nJanuary 1, 1975.\nIn a signing ceremony with the author, Senator John Nejedly\n(R-Walnut Creek), Governor Reinecke said, \"This bill is another important\npiece of legislative action to improve the environment of California.\n\"This significant legislation will permit work to begin in the\nstate to manage solid waste materials.

One thing he has failed to com-\nprehend that policies and presidents are not made by splintered\nfactions from either extreme. They are made by the great majority\nof people who share a common middle ground and belief that the\nhistory of America is not as pock marked with sin and fault as\nMc Govern might have us think.\n\"Policy and presidents are made by the working man, the\nbusinessman, the hard hat, the house wife, the young, the great\nbody of minorities. These are the people of America who will\ndecide the future. These are the people who will determine who\nour next president will be.\n\"Senator Mc Govern apparently has not reserved space for these\npeople in his new party.\n\"I think the two issues that will hurt Mc Govern most will\nbe his stance on Vietnam, his plans for redistribution of the\nnation's wealth.\n\"The American people do not relish the thought of their\npresident 'begging' on his hands and knees for a cup of kindness\nfrom Hanoi or any other declared or undeclared enemy. And they do not\nmore\n- 2 -\ncondone amnesty for the draft dodgers who fled the scene of battle\nand left the fighting, bleeding and the dying to their more\ncourageous peers.\n\"And the American people don't take kindly to any massive\nredistribute-the-wealth scheme. They have worked hard for what\nthey have and feel they are overtaxed already. They realize, too,\nthat any great increase in the tax for business is an increase\nin their own taxes - that business is only a 'collector,' not a\n'payer' of taxes.\n\"The fact that McGovern's nomination was less than unanimous\ndemonstrates the great schism within the ranks of life-long and\nstalwart Democrat party members who feel their views, their beliefs\nhave been neglected.\n\"Senator Mc Govern has a long tough fight ahead of him. Not\njust to try to get the party together once again, but to convince\nenough people that he is more than a pied piper with one tune.\n\"I agree with one of the network newsmen who said from the\nfloor last night that, 'Nothing short of a major miracle will get\nMc Govern the presidency. I\n\"But didn't we say the same thing just a few months ago about\nthe nomination?

He directed\nthe ARB to fund the new research project on losses from the carburetors\nand fuel tanks, and called upon Secretaries Walton and Livermore to seek\nlegislative authority to fund the research on oxides of nitrogen from\nthe California Environmental Protection Program authorized by the 1970\nlegislature;\n--Directed the State Department of Public Health to take immediate\nsteps to develop and propose, by August 31, an environmental health\nsurveillance system with emphasis on the health problems in the eastern\nportion of the basin.\nGovernor Reagan also reported that the state this month established\nan air pollution monitoring station in Riverside to improve the collection\nof air quality data in the area.\nThe governor encouraged the basin's local agencies to continue to\nimprove basinwide planning for traffic management, public transportation\nand land use as a means of further reducing air pollution.\nThese would include promotion of car pools through public information\nprograms, and incentives such as preferred parking spaces and reduced\nparking fees for car pools; improve traffic flow on city streets to\nminimize stop and go traffic; and continue efforts to improve air quality\nmeasurement in the Riverside area to establish more accurately the\npollutant concentrations and trends.\nMembers of the governor's task force are John Maga, executive\nofficer of the ARB, chairman; Harold W. Sullivan, former commissioner of\nthe California Highway Patrol and presently a member of the ARB;\nFrederick B. Hodges, M.D., director of the State Department of Public\nHealth; John M.
