Governor Ronald Reagan today announced he has signed legislation
(AB 561 Meade, Dent, Fong) deleting the proposed 3.3 mile Shepherd Canyon
freeway in Alameda and Contra Costa counties from the state freeway
system.
Governor Reagan said the $300 million-plus project was opposed by
the Oakland City Council, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and
various environmental groups in the Bay Area.
"It is the policy of this administration that local governments
will have a voice in the planning of transportation facilities," Governor
Reagan said. "Removal of this roadway from the state freeway and
expressway system provides the opportunity for a cooperative review of
whether a freeway or some other transportation facility is most
appropriate.
"My action today is consistent with our Transportation Corridor
Policy announced last year."
Governor Reagan said he recognizes that dropping the Shepherd Canyon
freeway does not solve the area's transportation needs. "However, it
should contribute to a broadening of future cooperative studies between
state and local governments that will lead to a solution," he stated.
The proposed freeway, which would have included an expensive tunnel,
would have connected Route 580 in Oakland with Route 93 west of Moraga.

Governor Ronald Reagan today hailed as "a complete vindication" the
Third District Court of Appeal's unanimous decision refusing to block a
key provision of his welfare reform program that provides for checking
on the outside income of welfare recipients.
The court ruled today in Sacramento that it is " simply common
sense" for the executive branch of the State of California to verify the
reported incomes of welfare recipients and that neither sound
business practice nor the law demands less care if public confidence in
the AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) program is to be
maintained.
"I reiterate what I said in May," the governor stated, "when the
Third District Court of Appeal issued a temporary ruling which enabled
the state to resume checking on the outside incomes of recipients: this
is a great victory for the taxpayers.
"The ability to verify the outside incomes of those receiving money
provided by the taxpayers was at the very heart of our welfare reform
program. Without this ability---to make sure that only those truly
eligible for welfare actually receive it---the job of screening out
ineligible recipients would be infinitely more difficult.
"I think this is a landmark decision for welfare reform and the
taxpayers of California."
A State Department of Social Welfare investigating team found
glaring discrepancies in the AFDC-Unemployed program recently in San
Francisco County where some allegedly unemployed fathers were working and
drawing paychecks and staying on welfare by not fully reporting their
incomes to the welfare department. The team found that allegedly
unemployed mothers in the APDC-Family Group program were doing likewise.
Robert B. Carleson, welfare director, said: "We found that only
about half of the outside income earned by AFDC recipients was being
reported, and that apparently the higher the earnings, the lower accuracy
of the reporting." "
Carleson said today the Earnings Clearance System is being
implemented in all 58 California counties, and the counties have been
directed to report their findings to the state by mid-August. He said
state auditing teams will go into selected counties to confirm their
reports.

The Third District Appeal court's decision today overrules orders
issued by Sacramento Superior Court Judges William Gallagher and Abbott
Goldberg which had blocked any checking of welfare recipients' outside
income for a period of approximately four months.
On February 1, Judge Gallagher issued a temporary restraining order,
brought by the Golden Gate Welfare Rights Organization, which halted the
income checking procedure. The order was issued without notice to the
state, and was not learned of by the State Attorney General's office
until three days later.
Gallagher assigned the case to Judge Goldberg when the Attorney
General challenged Gallagher's ability to hear the case impartially, on
the grounds he was "prejudiced" against the state's interests.
Goldberg subsequently refused to lift the restraining order.
In May the appellate court issued an extraordinary order staying all
action by the Sacramento Superior Court in the case and ordered Judge
Goldberg to show cause why the check on welfare recipients' outside
incomes should not proceed.
The Earnings Clearance System crosschecks the Department of Social
Welfare master list of aid recipients against the Department of Human
Resources Development's record of earnings reported by employers for
unemployment insurance purposes. Confidentiality safeguards for
recipients are maintained because the state relies solely on information
already in its possession.

(ATTENTION: State Social Welfare Director Robert Carleson, will be
available for interviews or to answer questions concerning the following
release in the Governor's Office between 9:30 amd 10:30 a.m. today)
Governor Ronald Reagan, citing the "unprecedented success" of his
administra tion's welfare reform program, today announced that the number
of Californians on the welfare rolls declined again in June---by nearly
40,000.
He said that as a result of the June drop in the caseload, there
are now 205,000 fewer people receiving welfare around the state than
there were in March, 1971 (2,298,440) when the administration's welfare
reforms began taking hold.
"This dramatic decline has been achieved in the face of rising
welfare costs and caseload increases elsewhere across the nation during
the same period.
"The truly unprecedented success of our reforms attests to the
soundness of the concepts on which our program was founded, and was
accomplished in spite of the dire predictions of a horde of critics that
it could not be done," the governor said.
"Had the reforms not been instituted, and had our caseload
continued to climb at the 40,000 per month rate we had been experiencing
prior to welfare reform, there would now be 708,000 more Californians
on the rolls than there actually are---at a total cumulative increased
cost to the taxpayers of nearly $400 million (federal, state and local).
"The proven success of the reforms we have pioneered in California
can provide a blueprint for welfare reform across the nation. To attempt
to rationalize or explain away any longer the stiking turnabout we have
achieved is to ingore tha facts," the governor said.
"Our hard-pressed taxpayers and the truly needy on welfare are
the real victors," he added.
State Social Welfare Director, Robert B. Carleson, said the June
decline in the caseload showed, for the first time, the effect of a
provision in the 1971 Welfare Reform Act which reduces grants to those
with significant outside incomes in order to make funds available for
increasing grants to persons wholly dependent on welfare. The provision
was scheduled to go into effect last October 1 but was blocked by the
California Supreme Court until being overturned by the U.S. Supreme
Court May 11.

#450
Only yesterday, in a separate court action, the State District
Court of Appeal upheld another key provision of the Governor's Welfare
Reform Program which permits the state to track down welfare cheaters
by crosschecking the outside earnings of recipients. A lower court had
blocked the computer checks, but the Apellate Court stepped into the
case and vindicated the earnings verification procedure as " simply
common sense." The unanimous Apellate Court ruling said: "Neither
sound business practice nor the law demands less care if public
confidence in the AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) program
is to be maintained."
Governor Reagan called it "a landmark decision for welfare
reform and the taxpayers of California."
Carleson said, "There is every reason to believe that as a result
of these and other important court decisions the state's welfare rolls
can decline even further in the months ahead---as eligibility is further
tightened and those receiving aid fraudulently continue to be removed
from the rolls. Ultimately, of course, the caseload will stabilize,"
he said.
"The beneficiaries of our efforts will be the taxpayers and
those truly needy among us who are, in fact, entitled to public
assistance," Carleson added.
(39,696)
The big drop in the June caseload/ was in the Aid to families
with Dependent Children program, almost equally divided between families
whose breadwinner is unemployed and those whose father is absent through
death, divorce or desertion.
There were 17,900 fewer persons in the AFDC-U category and
17,500 less in AFDC-FG. The number of children cared for in Boarding
Homes and Institutions was up by 51.
In the adult aid programs there was a decrease from May of 2,100
in Old Age security recupients, 1,000 in Aid to the Totally Disabled, and
58 in Aid to the Blind.
The number of cash grant recipients supported out of state,
federal and county funds was down by 38,000. The number of General
Home Relief funded entirely by the counties was down by 1,300.

been signed:
AB 561 - Meade
Deletes from the California freeway and expressway
Chapter 524
system that portion of Route 77 from Route 580 in
Oakland to Route 93 westerly of Moraga.
SB 1392 - Alquist
Specifies that, in computing foundation program
Chapter 525
increases due to inflation for small school districts
the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall compute
the amount as if it were for the maximum number of
pupils allowed for the applicable range in which the
district falls.
SB 1395 - Alquist
Specifies that provisions of law extending certain
Chapter 523
disputable presumptions under the workmen's
compensation law concerning hernia, heart trouble,
pneumonia, and tuberculosis to district attorneys'
staffs of inspectors and investigators shall apply
to any appeal of such inspector or investigator
pending on January 1, 1972.
Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced that the following
bills have been vetoed.
SB 162 - Gregorio
Revises provisions providing for filling of vacancies
on school boards to authorize the board within 30 days
of a vacancy or filling or a resignation to make
provisional appointment or to call a special election
The bill also makes identical changes for filling
vacancies on city councils.
Reason for veto:
"I am returning without my signature Senate Bill No.
162 entitled, "An act to amend Sections 1162, 1163,
1164, and 1165 of, and to add Section 1162.5 to, the
Education Code, to amend Sections 10202.5, 10210, and
10219.2 of, and to add Section 10202.4 to, the
Elections Code, and to amend Section 36512 of, and to
add Sections 36512.5 and 36512.6 to, the Government
Code, relating to special elections."
"This bill would remove the present requirement that
vacancies occurring on school boards be filled by
election.
"While there is no question that such elections can
incur additional costs, I am convinced that the
overriding issue is whether or not the people
themselves should have the right to select directly--
-at the ballot box--who will represent them in
formulating the educational policies of their schools.
"In 1970 I signed legislation which gave the people
a direct voice in the selection of their own school
board representatives. In my opinion, no compelling
reason exists to change that procedure.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 369 - Wedworth
Permits individual contracting agencies under the
Public Employees' Retirement System to elect the
highest year of compensation as the basis for payment
of benefits for local safety members.
Reason for veto:
"I am returning without my signature Senate Bill No.
369 entitled, "An act to add Section 20025.5 to the
Government Code, relating to retirement.
-1-
#453
"This bill would permit individual contracting
agencies under the Public Employees' Retirement
System to elect the highest single year of
compensation rather than the highest three year
average as the basis for payment of retirement
benefits for local safety members.
"Final compensation computations in a multiple
employer, multi-membership classisication system,
such as the Public Employees' Retirement System,
must be uniform. Variations within the system
can only create excessive administrative burdens
and further aggravate the already complex problem
of estimating and funding future benefits.
"The present three year basis for computing retirement
benefits already is a very liberal provision and I
find no compelling evidence to support the need for
a different method of computing benefits for a
single category of employees.
" Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

bill has been vetoed:
SB 370 - Wedworth
Permits individual contracting agencies under the
Public Employees' Retirement System to provide for
automatic adjustment of allowances of local safety
members on the basis of changes in the Consumer Price
Index without limitation.
Reason for veto:
"This bill would allow individual contracting agencies
under the Public Employees' Retirement System to
remove the statutory limitation on the amount of the
automatic annual retirement adjustment for the single
class of local safety members.
"In 1968 I signed legislation which for the first
time provided for an automatic annual cost-of-living
retirement allowance adjustment for all members of
the Public Employees' Retirement System.
"In 1970 I signed additional legislation further
liberalizing the amount of the annual adjustment.
Because the law already provides for significant
cost-of-living adjustments, I can find no justificatio
for signing a measure which would unfairly provide
a single class of retirees with special treatment in
the computation of their retirement allowances--
especially when changes in the cost of living affect
all retired members without regard to their profession
"In addition, this measure could only create an ever
greater demand for increases in local property taxes
at a time when our taxpayers are already severely
overburdened.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "

Governor Ronald Reagan, pointing with pride to the national
recognition achieved by one of his closest advisors, today reluctantly
accepted the resignation of James S. Dwight Jr. who is stepping down
as the governor's chief deputy director of finance to accept a high
post in the Nixon administration.
Dwight, who has served as one of the governor's top fiscal advisors
since the earliest days of the Reagan administration, will become
associate director of the Office of Management and Budget at the White
House in Washington D.C., under Caspar W. Weinberger.
Weinberger, who was Governor Reagan's director of finance from
1968-70, and Dwight's former boss in Sacramento, announced the appoint-
ment today in Washington. Dwight will succeed Frank C. Carlucci who
recently was named deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Governor Reagan praised Dwight as a principal architect of his
"cut, squeeze and trim" policy and called him "one of the ablest members
of this administration whose common sense and deep concern for the
taxpayer's dollar have helped make it possible for us to reduce and
keep down the cost of state government in California during these past
five and one half years.
"Jim Dwight's ability to cut through the red tape of government
along with the valuable experience he has gained here in locating and
trimming excess bureaucratic fat make him the perfect selection for
his new and important tasks in Washington.
"While we will greatly miss the cost-cutting effectiveness he has
brought to his job in Sacramento, the entire nation will now gain as he
tackles the even greater management and budget problems facing the
federal government.
"In reluctantly accepting Jim's resignation from state service,
I am, at the same time, delighted that he, another member of this
administration, has been tapped to help direct the activities of the
national administration. It is our loss but the nation's gain.
"I wish him Godspeed and every success in the future," the
governor said.
In announcing Dwight's appointment, Weinberger said:

"We are fortunate to have obtained the services of Jim Dwight.
He is an able and energetic administrator and has made great contribu-
tions to the development, organization and management of new and old
programs in California, helping to achieve substantial savings in the
cost of government there, and in working to secure better management
and improved operations.
"I served with him in California, and I know his accomplishments
there. I look forward to his joining Frank Carlucci and me in working
with the Office of Management and Budget on the same objectives here."
Dwight lauded Governor Reagan for "the great leadership you have
brought to the people of California and your commitment to making state
government work efficiently and effectively, at the lowest possible
cost to the taxpayers.
"Words simply cannot express the deep appreciation I share with so
many others for having had the opportunity to be a member of your team.
It has been the greatest experience of my life," he said.
Following Governor Reagan's election in 1966, Dwight, 38, joined
the interim government staff as a fiscal advisor to the governor. When
Governor Reagan actually took office in January, 1967, Dwight became
state deputy director of finance. He was promoted to chief deputy
finance director four years ago.
Prior to joining state service, he was controller of Sunkist
Growers, Inc. Dwight holds a BS degree from the University of Southern
California and is a certified public accountant.
A native of Pasadena, he is married to the former Elsa Hardy.
They have three daughters and one son.

Governor Ronald Reagan today took action to protect nearly 70 miles
of coastline and several southern California communities from the
proposed route of a state freeway.
Governor Reagan signed legislation (SB 1087), authored by Senator
Dennis E. Carpenter (R-Newport Beach), which deletes Route 1 from the
state freeway system between Torrance and San Juan Capistrano.
At the same time, Governor Reagan signed three other measures
eliminating additional portions of Route 1 from the freeway system.
One bill (AB 704) by Assemblyman Frank Murphy (R-Santa Cruz) removes
the proposed route between the city of Santa Cruz north to the Santa
Cruz-San Mateo County line near Ano Nuevo State Reserve. The other two
(AB 58) by Assemblyman James A. Hayes (R-Long Beach) and
bills, / (AB 1322) by Assemblyman Robert E. Badham (R-Newport Beach),
deletes the freeway routes within their respective cities.
The deletions of Route 1 encompass a major implementation of
Governor Reagan's policy to move major north-south transportation
corridors inland where there are existing freeways to handle the
increasing traffic.
In signing the legislation, Governor Reagan commented:
"It is the policy of this administration that local communities
will be given a voice in the planning of transportation modes. The
removal of portions of this state highway from the freeway system
provides the opportunity for a cooperative review of whether a freeway
or some other transportation facility would be more appropriate.
"I recognize that the deletions of Route 1 from the freeway system
does not offer a solution to the transportation problems in the areas
effected by the legislation I have just signed. However, I believe this
action contributes to the improving climate of cooperation between the
state and local governments that will lead to a satisfactory solution."
"As a result of Governor Reagan's action, the only portion of Route
1 in southern California still in the freeway system is a one mile segment
connecting Route 105 to serve Los Angeles International Airport.
With the above exception, Route 1 has now been deleted from the
state freeway system from Half Moon Bay south to San Juan Capistrano.
Route 1, interacting with Highway 101, is still in effect from Half
Moon Bay north to the California-Oregon border.

The bill reappropriates those funds to Project SHARE

AB 1805 - Hayes
Permits individial contracting agencies under the

Reason for veto:
"This bill would permit individual contracting
agencies under the Public Employees' Retirement System
to elect the highest single year of compensation
rather than the highest three year average as the
basis for payment of retirement benefits for local
safety members.
"Final compensation computations in a multiple emplo-
yer, multi-membership classification system, such as
the Public Employees' Retirement System, must be
uniform. Variations within the sytem can only create
excessive administrative burdens and further aggra-
vate the already complex problem of estimating and
funding future benefits.
"The present three year basis for computing retire-
memt benefits already is a very liberal provision and
I find no compelling evidence to support the need for
a different method of computing benefits for a single
category of employees.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 1461 - Wedworth
Requires coroners to hold an inquest regarding the
death of persons dying unattended by a doctor in the

Reason for veto:
"The bill would require coroners to hold an inquest
regarding the death of a person unattended by a
physician in the 20 days prior to death, rather than
10 days under current law.
"The purpose of the 10 day period is to insure ade-
quate and accurate determination of the circumstances
of death for all deaths occurring in California. The
10 day provision closely conforms to standards rec-
commended by the federal government.
"There is every reason to believe that a change in
the present 10 day requirement would not serve the
public interest.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced he has signed legislation
that will provide local law enforcement agencies tighter control over
convicted federal narcotics offenders.
The legislation, AB 414, authored by Assemblyman Alan Sieroty
(D-Beverly Hills), provides that persons convicted in federal court
of offenses which would be punishable as felony narcotics offenses in
California must register with the law enforcement agency where they
live.
In addition, the bill provides that persons who are convicted
of misdemeanor possession or use of marijuana need not register with
their local law enforcement agency.
Governor Reagan noted that most police departments do not now
register persons convicted of misdemeanor possession or use of
marijuana. Local officials doubt that registration of misdemeanor
marijuana offenders has any deterrent effect. Felony narcotics
offenders still would come under the full force of the law.

AB 615 - Brown
Requires that each board, bureau, commission,
committee or similarly constituted agency in the
Department of Consumer Affairs issuing licenses,
except the State Athletic Commission and the
State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind, to pub-
lish and mail at least twice a year, or at least
once a year under specified circumstances where
there has been no change in the board's laws or
regulations, to each licentiate or licensed
business establishment a newsletter containing
specified information including recent legisla-
tion and disciplinary actions taken.
REASON FOR VETO:
"While I agree that a need exists to give
greater publicity to the work of the agencies
within the Department of Consumer Affairs, I
feel that this only can be accomplished by giving
the department, itself, the responsibility and
authority for developing an overall information
program, with sufficient flexibility to provide
pertinent and timely information, not only to
licensees, but to the general public as well.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 1411 - Foran
Provides an exception to the requirement that
the basic benefits under Medi-Cal be exhausted
before the supplemental benefits may be utilized,
where physician visits are allowed under the
supplemental schedule of benefits or services are
received under extended treatment plans.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Under the current law regarding the Medi-Cal
program, no supplemental benefit can be utilized
until the corresponding basic benefit has been
exhausted. AB 1411 provides an exception to this
requirement. Under AS 1411, physician visits
allowed under the supplemental schedule of
benefits, OF extended treatment plans allowed
pursuant to Section 14133.1 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code, can be utilized without ex-
hausting the corresponding basic benefits.
"This bill would significantly diminish the
utilization control, for physicians' services
as well as other services, covered by the basic
schedule of benefits, contained in the Medi-Cal
reform legislation I signed in 1971. In my
opinion, no compelling reason exists to lessen
the existing utilization controls on these
services.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Prohibits a referee of the Workmen's Compensa-
tion Appeals Board from writing a report and
recommendation to the Appeals Board when a
petition for reconsideration has been filed,
except in cases where the applicant is represent-
ing himself.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The purpose of the referee's report and recom-
mendation on a petition for reconsideration is
to provide the members of the Appeals Board with
the advantage of studying the reasons for the
referee's decision on the issues raised in the
petition for reconsideration. Without such a
report, a detailed legal opinion, prepared by the
board's legal staff, who are not familiar with
the case, would be necessary. This would result
in unnecessary delays in the granting or denying
of petitions for reconsideration.
"I cannot approve a measure which would further
increase the time required before an injured
workman would begin receiving benefits.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has vetoed the
following bill:
SB 425 - Beilenson
Deletes the portion of Route 2 from Route 405
to Glendale Boulevard in Los Angeles County
from the California freeway and expressway
system, on January 15, 1974. The bill specifies
that the Department of Public Works is not
precluded from acquiring real property necessary
to increase the traffic capacity of existing
Route 2 as a conventional highway or as a limited
access parkway. The bill further declares legis-
lative intent that the Department of Public
Works and other public entities consider the
feasibility of modifying existing surface arter-
ials and county secondary highways into limited
access parkways to relieve traffic congestion in
the area served by such portion of Route 2.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I am personally opposed to the construction of
an 8 to 10 lane freeway through the transporta-
tion corridor between Glendale and the San Diego
Freeway in Los Angeles.
"However, to remove Route 2 from the State Free-
way and Expressway System when a cooperative study
is under way on a regional multi-modal transpor-
tation system by the Southern California Associa-
tion of Governments, the Southern California Rapid
Transit District and the state at this time would
be a serious mistake.
"This bill would prematurely remove some of the
options available to solving the problems created
by the ever-increasing traffic congestion on
surface streets in this fine residential area.
The deletion of a previously approved route in
the freeway and expressway system must not be
done on a piecemeal basis when there are no
clear alternatives to meeting long-range trans-
portation requirements.
"The many arguments "for" and "against" this
freeway deletion bill emphasize to me the urgent
necessity to evaluate the above study before any
action is taken. In addition, I have directed
the State Department of Public Works to report
to me early next year on alternative solutions to
the problems in this area.
"This proposed freeway segment must be looked
upon as a vital corridor in the long-range plan
for moving people and goods in one way or another
through the Los Angeles area. To eliminate this
corridor now would be premature and could produce
an adverse effect on the overall, long-range
transportation planning for the Los Angeles
metropolitan area.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan has signed legislation (AB 246) by
Assemblyman Bob Wood (R-Salinas) designed to provide maximum safe
working conditions for farm workers and others who work in pesticide
treated areas.
"This bill will bring together the best resources of the people
in agriculture and in public health, at both the state and local level,
to insure that pesticides are applied, handled and stored safely in
California on a continuing basis," Governor Reagan said.
"With the phasing out of certain environmentally harmful pesticides,
agriculture has had to turn to alternative chemicals. Some of these
new chemicals are extremely hazardous to humans for a short period of
time.
"This legislation will insure that all fields which have been
sprayed with dangerous pesticides will be clearly marked with warning
signs giving the exact date for safe re-entry. The cooperative effort
of the State Department of Agriculture and the Department of Public
Health in establishing safe re-entry times will reduce significantly
the incidence of occupational injury to farm workers, pesticide
applicators and others who work in pesticide treated areas."
The bill requires that all regulations relating to health matters
be based upon the written and public recommendations of the State
Department of Public Health. Under the measure, the local health
officer would also be required to investigate health hazards and to
take whatever action is necessary to eliminate them.
