Noting that California now has become one of only 14 states to be assigned Triple A status by both of the nation's most prestigious credit rating services (Moody and Standard & Poor's), the governor said: "Because we have won the highest confidence of America's invest- ment community through sound fiscal policies and good management, California taxpayers can now look forward to savings from lower interest rates on new state bond sales amounting to some $5 million in the coming year alone." The governor cited a number of key factors which led to achieve- ment of the new all-Triple A rating. He pointed to the businesslike management procedures which have been infused into the day-to-day operations of state government, practices which have enabled the state to run economically and efficiently, with fewer employees than when he took office, but without impairing essential services to the public. He made particular reference to the administration's successes in reforming California's welfare and Medi-Cal programs which, he said, have saved hundreds of millions of dollars and are, in very large part, responsible for the state's extremely healthy financial condition today. Governor Reagan paid special tribute to State Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest who, he said, deserves the highest commendation for the outstanding way in which she has conducted the state's bond business. "Her wise and prudent investment and bond sale policies are dictated by a continuing dedication to making the public's money work to the greatest possible benefit of the taxpayers," he said. He said today's low interest bid of 4.6122 percent for $90 million in bonds to finance several state programs is "a million dollar bonus for the taxpayers which will be multiplied many times over in savings on interest payments in the days and months ahead." # # # Gray OFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California 95814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary 916-445-4571 10-4-72 #552 Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today announced the reappointment of Mrs. Margaret G.

In making the announcement, the governor said: "I want to announce my support of Proposition 18, not only as the Governor of the State, but as a parent who is deeply concerned about the tragic pollution of our sociological climate by the commercial interests who are flooding us with pornography. Many lawyers, including my legal staff, have reviewed Proposition 18; they have concluded that this is a reasonable, well-drafted measure, designed to give law enforcement the weapons it badly needs to help communities protect themselves against smut "I have considered carefully the arguments by the opposition to Proposition 18 and their claim of 'censorship' in regards to the effects of the proposition. It is my opinion that these accusations are unfounded and that the proposition is drafted not only to protect the public against a continuing hard core smut that concerns us all, but also protects the legitimate publisher and theater against specious prosecution "I urge the people of California to join me in this effort to stop the spread of this filth by voting in favor of Proposition 18." Pat Boone, the State Chairman of the Committee for YES for Proposition 18, telegraphed his personal thanks to the Governor for his endorsement and expressed his delight that Governor Reagan had been able to join the California District Attorneys' Association, the State Chamber of Commerce, the California Peace Officers Association, and other civic and community groups ingiving their endorsement to Proposition 18. "We have been the victims of a massively financed campaign of smears against the Proposition by those commercial interests who gain so much from pornography," said Boone, "and unfortunately we have not been able to gather the tremendous financial resources necessary to answer these unfounded charges. It is reassuring to the thousands of hard-working decent citizens who are struggling to secure the passage of this measure hat the Governor would take the courageous stand that he has. "I am confident that Proposition 18 will more than be able to stand up under a close scrutiny such as that which Governor Reagan has given to it, and I urge all Californians not to be swayed by the well-financed campaign of distortion against Proposition 18. Rather, as the Governor has done, I plead with the people of California to consider the measure on its merits and then to register their vote for a cleaner, more decent society for ourselves and our children by voting 'YES' on Proposition 18," concluded Boone. # # 4 OFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California 95814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary 916-445-4571 10-6-72 #557 Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke today called an emergency session of the cabinet to discuss the potentially disastrous economic effect the recent State Supreme Court's decision in the Mammoth-Mono County case is having on California. As a result of that court decision, which requires local governments to file written environmental impact reports before issuing building permits, hundreds of projects may be closed down across the state and thousands of construction workers are in danger of losing their jobs. The ruling, issued September 21, requires that California's tough Environmental Quality Act of 1970 apply to private building projects throughout the state. Governor Ronald Reagan informed the cabinet he is requesting State Attorney General Evelle Younger to ask the court to make its decision not applicable to private projects begun before September 21 and to stay the effect of its ruling pending a complete clarification. "I am extremely concerned that the plain language in the law has been ignored by the court," Reinecke said. "The legislature and the governor did not intend for the law to bring California's construction industry to a grinding halt, forcing thousands of workers off their jobs by stopping hundreds of construction projects. "At the time the Environmental Quality Act was approved, everyone agreed that it applied only to governmental projects. The court's ruling has broadened the law far beyond any reasonable interpretation of the statute," Reinecke concluded. Several cities and counties have stopped issuing building permits because of the court's decision. In addition, most major financial institutions in the state have suspended making loans as a result of the decision. Projects already under construction also may be affected by the court's ruling. ###### Walthall OFFICE OF GOVERNOR RON' D REAGAN RELEASE Immediate Sacramento, California 95814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary 916-445-4571 10-6-72 #558 Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointments of two judges to the municipal court bench in the San Diego Judicial District.

October 10 Sacramento, California 05814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary PLEASE GUARD AGAINST PREMATURE 916-445-4571 10-10-72 RELEASE #561 (MEMO TO NEWSMEN: The following is embargoed for use after 4 p.m. today, October 10, 1972. Please guard against premature release.) Governor Ronald Reagan today proposed a 10 percent across-the-board slash in the state income tax, plus a major reduction in the local property tax burden, and said he will call a special statewide election early next year to make sure the people themselves are able to secure the tax relief they need---at the ballot box. In taking the 6-point plan directly to the public in a televised "Report-to-the-People," Governor Reagan became the first governor of a major state in recent history to propose a broad tax reduction, including a permanent, ongoing income tax cut. Noting that "for the third straight year a small band of legislators were able to frustrate our efforts to give you a tax reduction which is long overdue," the governor said he will ask the legislature, when it reconvenes November 8, to approve the ballot measure and he set a deadline of January 30 for the legislature to act. He said the measure "will provide much needed help for low-wealth school districts and reduce the property tax, plus an across-the-board cut in the California income tax. "If the legislature agrees to put this on the ballot (by January 30), fine. If not," he said, "we'll put it on the ballot anyway." Governor Reagan said he would do this by "personally leading an initiative drive" to put such a measure to a vote of the people. "I then will call a special election which I am authorized to do by law just as soon as you have signed the petitions," he said in the brief televised message. The governor's six-point proposal, if passed by the voters, would: 1) Slash state income taxes by at least 10 percent on a permanent, ongoing basis. 2) Reduce property taxes by at least doubling the present homeowner exemption. 3) Provide tax relief for renters. - 1 - #561 4) Increase state aid to schools by $200 million in new money, and provide nearly $½ billion for school property tax rollbacks. 5) Freeze property taxes at the reduced level. The local electorate would determine the property tax rate in the future. 6) Require a two-thirds vote of the legislature to increase any state tax. "To accomplish the proposed school tax rollbacks and property tax reductions," he said, "there will be a shift adding one cent to the sales tax. One percent added to the Bank and Corporation tax will make possible a cut in the business inventory tax. "Federal revenue sharing will support the increased school funding. And, the ongoing surplus which has resulted from our welfare and Medi-Cal reforms will be committed to income tax reduction," the governor said. Governor Reagan pointed out that "our proposed income tax cut would not have been possible if we had not achieved substantial savings in welfare and Medi-Cal. The reforms not only have enabled us to keep the costs of these programs well below projected expenditures but also have helped cut the state's welfare caseload by some 220,000 persons during the past 17 months, while increasing grants to needy families by almost 30 percent," he said. The governor said that although members of his administration will be working out all the details of his tax relief plan in the weeks ahead so that the program will be ready to present to the legislature November 8 "we now know that the tax reductions we are proposing are feasible, realistic and fiscally responsible." " Here is the text of Governor Reagan's taped Report-to-the-People which was distributed to television and radio station news directors around the state for use on newscasts after 4 p.m. today: "Last Spring, for the third straight year, we proposed a plan for reducing property taxes. And, for the third straight year a small band of legislators were able to frustrate our efforts to give you the tax reduction which is long overdue. "At that time, I told you I intended to propose an alternative method for returning to you, the taxpayers, the ongoing surplus that has resulted from our Medi-Cal and welfare reforms. 2 1 I #561 "The legislature will reconvene November 8, and on that day I will ask them to approve a ballot measure for submission to you which, if you approve, will provide much needed help for low-wealth school districts and reduce the property tax, plus an across-the-board cut in the California state income tax. "If the present legislature or their successors have not acted by January 30, I will personally lead an initiative drive to put such a measure on the ballot by petition. "I then will call a special election which I am authorized to do by law just as soon as you have signed the petitions. "The plan we are proposing, the one on which you will be voting: "Will reduce school property taxes, by at least doubling the present homeowner exemption. "Everyone will get at least a 10 percent cut in their state income tax. "And, school aid will be increased by $200 million in new money, and nearly $1/4 billion will be provided for school property tax rollbacks. "The plan also will provide relief for renters. "To accomplish the proposed reduction, there will be a shift adding one cent to the sales tax. One percent added to the Bank and Corporation tax will make possible a cut in the business inventory tax. "Federal revenue sharing will support the school funding and the ongoing surplus will be committed to income tax reduction. "You will further be voting to freeze your property tax at the reduced level, and your votes will control it in the future. "A two-thirds majority vote of the legislature will be required in the future to increase any state tax. "And, remember, this time you will have the opportunity to decide. "If the legislature agrees to put this on the ballot, fine. If not, we'll put it on the ballot anyway." ###### - 3 - Gray OFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN RELEASE: mediate Sacramento, Californi 95814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary 916-445-4571 10-11-72 #562 Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of Joseph Perez of Concord to the California Advisory Council on Vocational Education and Technical Training.

Reinecke said he is inviting key members of organized labor, top representatives of the state's construction, agriculture, real estate and lending industries and members of the cabinet to the meeting to discuss the court's September 21 ruling which interpreted the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 as being applicable to private projects. The ruling, which takes effect next week, requires that environmental impact statements must be filed with local officials by construction firms and possibly even farmers before private building projects and certain agricultural activities can go forward. "Preliminary reports have indicated that the court's ruling could throw hundreds of thousands of Californians out of work by wreaking havoc on two of the state's most important industries building construction and agriculture. Hopefully, Wednesday's meeting will help us to more precisely assess the potential adverse impact the decision could have on the state's economy,' he said. "In addition, the meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss possible courses of action aimed at achieving both interim and permanent solutions to the problem," he added. Reinecke said the administration is currently studying possible legal steps to delay or mitigate the adverse effects of the ruling. He noted that requests to call a special session of the legislature to clarify the legislative intent of the Act also have been taken under consideration by the administration. Reinecke expressed additional concern that the current efforts of some local jurisdictions to meet the emergency will be scattered, ineffective and possibly in conflict with the unequal protection provisions of the law. "Some local governments," he said, "are frankly admitting that they are whistling in the dark hoping that ordinances they have adopted will not be challenged in court. But, there is no way to tell what the outcome of the court's decision really means for local governments," he added. ####### Gray OFFICE OF GOVERNOR ROMALD REAGAN RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California 95814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary 916-445-4571 10-13-72 #570 Governor Ronald Reagan today asked Senator George McGovern to explain to the people of California just how it was that he was able to fashion his so-called "peace" plan so closely along the lines already proposed by the North Vietnamese communists. The governor, noting that McGovern is bringing his campaign to California tonight, also challenged McGovern to explain how his "surrender-at-any-price scheme" would guarantee freedom for any of our prisoners of war. "The people of California have a right to expect straight answers on these and other life and death issues from a presidential candidate," Governor Reagan said. "If it is just a coincidence that McGovern's capitulation plan so closely resembles that of the Hanoi aggressors, is it also a coincidence that Senator McGovern never seems to complain about the atrocities committed by the Viet Cong against countless thousands of innocent South Vietnamese civilians? "Why does the Senator never mention the cruel deeds of the enemy," the governor asked. "The fact is, Senator McGovern's surrender-at-any-price scheme would deliver all of South Vietnam into the hands of the communists and completely ignore the wishes of the people of the South who have sacrificed so much and fought so valiantly against communist aggression," he said. "Can Senator McGovern really defend such a cynical and shameful act, one which would result in the abandonment of a brave people and open up all of Southeast Asia to savage communist terrorism and subversion? "If so," Governor Reagan said, "the American people must be made fully aware of the disastrous consequences which Senator McGovern's surrender-at-any-price scheme would produce, and of the terrible harm such outright capitulation would do to our present standing as a trusted ally of free nations throughout the world." #### Gray OFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN MEMO-TO THE PRESS Sacramento, Californ 95814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary 916-445-4571 10-18-72 Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke will host a meeting of key members of organized labor, top representatives of the state's construction, agriculture, real estate and leading industries and members of Governor Reagan's cabinet today at 10:30 a.m. in the governor's office.

In calling attention to the national observance of Veterans Day, Governor Reagan said: "I feel it is time that Americans lay aside their differences and bring forth the spirit of patriotism that is an essential part of our national history. What better opportunity is there than to do it on a day traditionally set aside to pay tribute to those brave men and women responsible for protecting our great land and its people? "This year all Americans should pay special tribute to our prisoners of war and those classified as missing in action. These men are special veterans in the broadest sense and deserve a well-earned recognition. "A prayer for their safety and quick return to their families and loved ones would be particularly fitting at this time." Governor Reagan noted that "this is not a day with military overtones. It is a day of appreciation, he said, "for all of those who have served their country and defended its hard-earned values." Frank D. Nicol, director of the State Department of Veterans Affairs and chairman of California's Veterans Day observance, has informed the governor that the federal Veterans Administration has designated the cities of Long Beach and San Leandro as Veterans Day Regional Observance Centers. These cities will hold special parades honoring the state's veterans. San Francisco, Porterville, Sacramento, Bakersfield, San Diego, Hemet, and Los Angeles also will hold special Veterans Day observances. Governor Reagan urged that all California citizens attend or participate in a Veterans Day event. He pointed out that flying the American flag on Veterans Day is traditional. ###### Walthall OFFICE OF GOVERNOR RC LD REAGAN RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California 95814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary 916-445-4571 10-19-72 #572 Verne Orr, director of the Department of Finance and a member of Governor Reagan's Cabinet, today announced the appointment of Edward M.

In a cynical and calculated attempt to deceive the taxpayers, the proponents of Proposition 15 have launched a massive advertising campaign based on totally false and misleading claims. In their ads, they are saying Proposition 15 would 'put a lid on state employee salaries' and 'give control of the public payroll back to the public.' This is of course absolutely untrue. "The fact is, only by voting NO on Proposition 15 will the taxpayers be able to keep a control on state salaries. Only by voting NO on 15 will the public payroll remain in the hands of the public-- through elected public officials. Virtually every campaign argument they have used could only be true IF it were followed by the admonition-- VOTE NO on 15. "Proposition 15 is nothing more than a blank check on the taxpayers' money, written out to state employees, with the amount of money to be filled in by non-elected state employees. If Proposition 15 were to pass, no California governor would ever again have anything to say about state employee pay raises, even though the governor is supposed to be answerable to the taxpayers for how their money is spent. "In effect, employee salaries would constitutionally have first call on all state revenues--before education, health, or any other public need. "This year alone, had Proposition 15 been in effect, it would have cost the taxpayers another $73 million--over and above what they are actually paying. And, imagine how staggering such increases could be in the future. It is a blank check our taxpayers simply cannot afford. "The truth is California has what I have often stated are 'the finest employees' of any state, or other government level for that matter. We have embarked on a two-phase salary adjustment which by next July will have eliminated any and all inequities and we have a long range plan to maintain a fair salary level in the future. Therefore, I hope no taxpayer will be fooled by the outrageous untruths being perpetrated by those who are pushing Proposition 15 for their own selfish purposes." # # # Gray OFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN Sacramento, California 95814 Ed Gray, Press Secretary 916-445-4571 10-22-72 (The following telegram was released today by telephone to the Associated Press, United Press International, San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Chronicle and the Oakland Tribune): "To Charles O.

Governor Reagan requested in a letter to Miles Kirkpatrick, FTC chairman, that the FTC issue a cease and desist order against CSEA requiring the organization to drop its false and fraudulent advertising. The governor termed CSEA's advertising campaign for Proposition 15 "a giant---and well financed hoax against the people of California." In a separate letter to Dean Burch, chairman of the FCC, Governor Reagan said: "I urge you immediately to remind all FCC licensees in the State of California that they have a legal obligation to screen out all broadcast materials which are false and fraudulent. "In addition, all California FCC licensees should be reminded immediately of their obligation under the Fairness Doctrine. "Proposition 15 directly affects the Constitution, the state legislature, this administration and every voter in the state. Therefore, it is unquestionably a 'controversial issue of public importance, as covered by the Fairness Doctrine which requires broadcasters to give both sides of such controversial issues." Citing seven CSEA-sponsored commercials that have been broadcast in California, Governor Reagan said: "The promoters of this issue should not be permitted to advocate passage of Proposition 15 by means of fraudulent and deceptive advertising in blatant violation of Federal Trade Commission regulations." ###### NOTE TO CAPITOL PRESS CORPS: Attached are the letters to the FCC and FTC, which contain the false and fraudulent language in each of the seven CSEA-sponsored commercials, and the commercials themselves. Walthall October 26, 1972 The Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick Chairman, Federal Trade Commission 1101 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20580 Dear Mr. Chairman: Charges and countercharges of false and misleading adver- tising are not uncommon during election year campaigning. But seldom can a more obvious case of deliberate deception and false radio and television advertising be made than here in California over the untruths running through the commer- cials supporting Proposition 15, the proposed constitutional amendment pertaining to state employees' salaries. I believe the commercials I will cite in this letter re- present a deliberate attempt to falsify the true nature and effects of Proposition 15. The promoters of this issue should not be permitted to advocate passage of Proposition 15 by means of fraudulent and deceptive advertising in blatant violation of Federal Trade Commission regulations. I request that the FTC take immediate action against the California State Employees Association to prevent the further dissemina- tion of its fraudulent and deceptive advertising concerning Proposition 15. The attached texts of the CSEA sponsored commercials, now being broadcast in California, are untrue and deceptive for the following reasons: COMMERCIAL "A" This commercial contains the language "Vote Yes on Proposi- tion 15 to avoid costly strikes and put sensible controls on state pay". Yet Proposition 15 makes no mention of strikes, and does not provide any legal machinery for curtailing strikes, nor does it declare that strikes by public employees are already illegal. Nor does Proposition 15 contain any language which imposes controls on state pay rates. The Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick N 0 I October 26, 1972 The measure would establish a "generally prevailing rate" standard, but this standard is not defined either in the initiative or in California law. Court cases, however, seem to have interpreted the term "generally prevailing rate" to establish a floor rather than a ceiling on public employee pay rates. COMMERCIAL "B" The text of this commercial contains one fraudulent message and two others that are absolutely false. First, it states that the California Attorney General's analysis, which appears on the ballot, is "misleading" and makes Proposition 15 read "like a tax increase". In fact, the Attorney General's analysis contains no reference at all to taxes and simply contains an estimated cost, as required by law. Secondly, it contains the following statement: "It (the Proposition) guarantees that state employment may never be paid more than the average wage for the same job in private industry. It also ends the threat of costly strikes by state employees". Proposition 15 does not contain the word "average" and the term "generally prevailing rate" has not been defined in California court decisions to mean "average". Moreover, there are no guarantees in Proposition 15 to assure that "generally prevailing rate" will limit pay rates to the average rates for comparable work in private industry. In fact, the proposition does not limit comparisons to "private industry jobs". As noted earlier, Proposition 15 does not establish any means for preventing strikes from occurring. COMMERCIAL "C" This message contains the following language: "Your Yes Vote on 15 guarantees that state employees may never be paid more than the average wage for the same work in private industry. At the same time, YES on 15 ends the threat of costly strikes by state employees As previously noted, these are false and fraudulent statements aimed at concealing the true nature of Proposition 15. COMMERCIAL "D" This message repeats the charge that the official ballot description makes Proposition 15 sound like a tax increase. In fact, the description does not refer to taxes. The Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick - 3 - October 26, 1972 But taken in total context, Commercial "D" makes it appear that Proposition 15 is designed to broaden the authority of elected officials with respect to setting pay rates for state employees. It is fact that Proposition 15 would drastically curtail the control which the people, through their elected officials, presently have concerning public pay rates. COMMERCIAL "E" This message repeats two false statements previously referred to. It states that it would "put sensible controls on the state payroll" and that it would "give control of the public payroll back to the public". Both statements are totally untrue. COMMERCIAL "E" This message repeats the charge about a "misleading" ballot description. The commercial also implies that a "yes" vote on Proposition 15 is a vote "to keep state pay under control". That is totally untrue. COMMERCIAL "G" This commercial repeats the false statement that "Proposition 15 ends the threat of costly strikes by California state employees". The proponent of Proposition 15, as that term is defined in Election Code 3500.5 (statutes of California), is the Calif- ornia State Employees Association; the very same organization which is now telling the voters of this state that this measure will end strikes, limit salary increases for state employees, give government back to the people, and not raise taxes. At the same time CSEA is telling its members that Proposition 15 will result in substantially greater salaries, and the Legislative Analyst of California agrees by estimating that the cost of this measure would have been an added $73 million of it had been in effect this fiscal year. In view of the above information, subject to your own impartial investigation, I request that CSEA immediately be required by a cease and desist order to drop the above false and fraudulent advertising. It is a giant --- and well financed - hoax against the people of California.

The cars will be leased by the Department of Public Works and the use smog control systems will be tested under normal business/by state employees, mostly in the South Coast Air Basin. Governor Reagan initiated the upcoming testing program in February of this year in a letter to Edward N. Cole, president of General Motors Corporation. "Participation by the State of California in this project will be in the greatest public interest, " Governor Reagan said. "The California Air Resources Board has the finest testing facilities available. We are pleased to develop this testing program with GM, and E we are cooperating with other automobile ^ manufacturers in similar programs. "We are making progress in the control of smog, but the goal of clean air is not yet a reality. I am hopeful this program will move us much further down the road to attaining that goal." The cars will be periodically tested by the Air Resources Board and GM to evaluate effectiveness of the emission control systems as mileage accumulates, It is planned that the test program will continue for up to 50,000 miles of operation. GM will equip the cars with experimental advanced control systems which at this time appear to have the best potential for meeting future state and federal low emission standards. These will be catalytic systems which GM feels have demonstrated the best potential for low emission capability under controlled laboratory and proving grounds testing. The first cars to be tested will have an oxidizing catalytic converter system and other components designed to meet 1975 federal limits for hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. Additional cars will be incorporated in this fleet test with control systems which are under development and have been designed to meet the more rigid 1976 federal emission standards. -1- #584 GM emphasizes that much progress is required before the experimental systems can be mass-produced that will meet future low emission levels, as well as function satisfactorily in the hands of drivers. Some of the test cars may also incorporate an electronic high energy ignition system, advanced carburetors to provide more precise fuel metering, and an early fuel evaporation system to vaporize fuel more completely in the manifold and reduce emissions during start-up. The Department of Public Works will maintain thorough records of the cars throughout the test period, including location and mileage of trips, maintenance required beyond that recommended by the manufacturer, fuel and oil used and drivability. Unleaded fuel will be used exclusively in the test cars. Edward L. Tinney, equipment engineer with Division of Highways, Department of Public Works, said the lease costs of the automobiles to be tested, which are Oldsmobiles and Chevrolets, will compare favorably with the costs which would be incurred if the vehicles were purchased. "Under normal circumstances, 450 1973 sedans would have been purchased for the normal replacement program of the Department of Public Works fleet for the 1972-73 fiscal year, " Tinney said. "This number has been reduced to 400 since the GM cars will be used for fleet purposes. " # # # -2- Walthall OFFICE OF GOVERNOR RO.

In making the announcement, the governor said:\n\"I want to announce my support of Proposition 18, not only as the\nGovernor of the State, but as a parent who is deeply concerned about the\ntragic pollution of our sociological climate by the commercial interests\nwho are flooding us with pornography. Many lawyers, including my legal\nstaff, have reviewed Proposition 18; they have concluded that this is a\nreasonable, well-drafted measure, designed to give law enforcement the\nweapons it badly needs to help communities protect themselves against smut\n\"I have considered carefully the arguments by the opposition to\nProposition 18 and their claim of 'censorship' in regards to the effects\nof the proposition. It is my opinion that these accusations are unfounded\nand that the proposition is drafted not only to protect the public\nagainst a continuing hard core smut that concerns us all, but also\nprotects the legitimate publisher and theater against specious prosecution\n\"I urge the people of California to join me in this effort to stop\nthe spread of this filth by voting in favor of Proposition 18.\"\nPat Boone, the State Chairman of the Committee for YES for\nProposition 18, telegraphed his personal thanks to the Governor for his\nendorsement and expressed his delight that Governor Reagan had been able\nto join the California District Attorneys' Association, the State Chamber\nof Commerce, the California Peace Officers Association, and other civic\nand community groups ingiving their endorsement to Proposition 18.\n\"We have been the victims of a massively financed campaign of smears\nagainst the Proposition by those commercial interests who gain so much\nfrom pornography,\" said Boone, \"and unfortunately we have not been able\nto gather the tremendous financial resources necessary to answer these\nunfounded charges. It is reassuring to the thousands of hard-working\ndecent citizens who are struggling to secure the passage of this measure\nhat the Governor would take the courageous stand that he has.\n\"I am confident that Proposition 18 will more than be able to stand\nup under a close scrutiny such as that which Governor Reagan has given to\nit, and I urge all Californians not to be swayed by the well-financed\ncampaign of distortion against Proposition 18. Rather, as the Governor\nhas done, I plead with the people of California to consider the measure\non its merits and then to register their vote for a cleaner, more decent\nsociety for ourselves and our children by voting 'YES' on Proposition 18,\"\nconcluded Boone.\n#\n#\n4\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n10-6-72\n#557\nLieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke today called an emergency session\nof the cabinet to discuss the potentially disastrous economic effect the\nrecent State Supreme Court's decision in the Mammoth-Mono County case\nis having on California.\nAs a result of that court decision, which requires local governments\nto file written environmental impact reports before issuing building\npermits, hundreds of projects may be closed down across the state and\nthousands of construction workers are in danger of losing their jobs.\nThe ruling, issued September 21, requires that California's tough\nEnvironmental Quality Act of 1970 apply to private building projects\nthroughout the state.\nGovernor Ronald Reagan informed the cabinet he is requesting State\nAttorney General Evelle Younger to ask the court to make its decision not\napplicable to private projects begun before September 21 and to stay the\neffect of its ruling pending a complete clarification.\n\"I am extremely concerned that the plain language in the law has\nbeen ignored by the court,\" Reinecke said. \"The legislature and the\ngovernor did not intend for the law to bring California's construction\nindustry to a grinding halt, forcing thousands of workers off their jobs\nby stopping hundreds of construction projects.\n\"At the time the Environmental Quality Act was approved, everyone\nagreed that it applied only to governmental projects. The court's ruling\nhas broadened the law far beyond any reasonable interpretation of the\nstatute,\" Reinecke concluded.\nSeveral cities and counties have stopped issuing building permits\nbecause of the court's decision. In addition, most major financial\ninstitutions in the state have suspended making loans as a result of the\ndecision. Projects already under construction also may be affected by\nthe court's ruling.\n######\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RON' D REAGAN\nRELEASE\nImmediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n10-6-72\n#558\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointments of two\njudges to the municipal court bench in the San Diego Judicial District.\nAppointed were Richard J.

If not,\" he said, \"we'll put it on the ballot anyway.\" Governor\nReagan said he would do this by \"personally leading an initiative drive\"\nto put such a measure to a vote of the people.\n\"I then will call a special election which I am authorized to do\nby law just as soon as you have signed the petitions,\" he said in the\nbrief televised message.\nThe governor's six-point proposal, if passed by the voters, would:\n1) Slash state income taxes by at least 10 percent on a permanent,\nongoing basis.\n2) Reduce property taxes by at least doubling the present homeowner\nexemption.\n3) Provide tax relief for renters.\n- 1 -\n#561\n4) Increase state aid to schools by $200 million in new money, and\nprovide nearly $½ billion for school property tax rollbacks.\n5) Freeze property taxes at the reduced level. The local\nelectorate would determine the property tax rate in the future.\n6) Require a two-thirds vote of the legislature to increase any\nstate tax.\n\"To accomplish the proposed school tax rollbacks and property tax\nreductions,\" he said, \"there will be a shift adding one cent to the sales\ntax. One percent added to the Bank and Corporation tax will make possible\na cut in the business inventory tax.\n\"Federal revenue sharing will support the increased school funding.\nAnd, the ongoing surplus which has resulted from our welfare and\nMedi-Cal reforms will be committed to income tax reduction,\" the\ngovernor said.\nGovernor Reagan pointed out that \"our proposed income tax cut would\nnot have been possible if we had not achieved substantial savings in\nwelfare and Medi-Cal. The reforms not only have enabled us to keep the\ncosts of these programs well below projected expenditures but also have\nhelped cut the state's welfare caseload by some 220,000 persons during\nthe past 17 months, while increasing grants to needy families by almost\n30 percent,\" he said.\nThe governor said that although members of his administration will\nbe working out all the details of his tax relief plan in the weeks ahead\nso that the program will be ready to present to the legislature November\n8\n\"we now know that the tax reductions we are proposing are feasible,\nrealistic and fiscally responsible.\" \"\nHere is the text of Governor Reagan's taped Report-to-the-People\nwhich was distributed to television and radio station news directors\naround the state for use on newscasts after 4 p.m. today:\n\"Last Spring, for the third straight year, we proposed a plan for\nreducing property taxes. And, for the third straight year a small band\nof legislators were able to frustrate our efforts to give you the tax\nreduction which is long overdue.\n\"At that time, I told you I intended to propose an alternative\nmethod for returning to you, the taxpayers, the ongoing surplus that has\nresulted from our Medi-Cal and welfare reforms.\n2 1 I\n#561\n\"The legislature will reconvene November 8, and on that day I will\nask them to approve a ballot measure for submission to you which, if\nyou approve, will provide much needed help for low-wealth school\ndistricts and reduce the property tax, plus an across-the-board cut in\nthe California state income tax.\n\"If the present legislature or their successors have not acted by\nJanuary 30, I will personally lead an initiative drive to put such a\nmeasure on the ballot by petition.\n\"I then will call a special election which I am authorized to do\nby law just as soon as you have signed the petitions.\n\"The plan we are proposing, the one on which you will be voting:\n\"Will reduce school property taxes, by at least doubling the\npresent homeowner exemption.\n\"Everyone will get at least a 10 percent cut in their state\nincome tax.\n\"And, school aid will be increased by $200 million in new money,\nand nearly $1/4 billion will be provided for school property tax rollbacks.\n\"The plan also will provide relief for renters.\n\"To accomplish the proposed reduction, there will be a shift adding\none cent to the sales tax. One percent added to the Bank and Corporation\ntax will make possible a cut in the business inventory tax.\n\"Federal revenue sharing will support the school funding and the\nongoing surplus will be committed to income tax reduction.\n\"You will further be voting to freeze your property tax at the\nreduced level, and your votes will control it in the future.\n\"A two-thirds majority vote of the legislature will be required in\nthe future to increase any state tax.\n\"And, remember, this time you will have the opportunity to decide.\n\"If the legislature agrees to put this on the ballot, fine.\nIf not, we'll put it on the ballot anyway.\"\n######\n- 3 -\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE:\nmediate\nSacramento, Californi 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n10-11-72\n#562\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of Joseph\nPerez of Concord to the California Advisory Council on Vocational\nEducation and Technical Training.\nJoseph Perez, a Democrat, fills the vacancy created by the\nresignation of Alfonso B.

Hopefully, Wednesday's meeting will help us to more\nprecisely assess the potential adverse impact the decision could have on\nthe state's economy,' he said.\n\"In addition, the meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss\npossible courses of action aimed at achieving both interim and\npermanent solutions to the problem,\" he added.\nReinecke said the administration is currently studying possible\nlegal steps to delay or mitigate the adverse effects of the ruling. He\nnoted that requests to call a special session of the legislature to\nclarify the legislative intent of the Act also have been taken under\nconsideration by the administration.\nReinecke expressed additional concern that the current efforts of\nsome local jurisdictions to meet the emergency will be scattered,\nineffective and possibly in conflict with the unequal protection\nprovisions of the law.\n\"Some local governments,\" he said, \"are frankly admitting that\nthey are whistling in the dark hoping that ordinances they have adopted\nwill not be challenged in court.

In a cynical and calculated attempt to\ndeceive the taxpayers, the proponents of Proposition 15 have launched\na massive advertising campaign based on totally false and misleading\nclaims. In their ads, they are saying Proposition 15 would 'put a lid\non state employee salaries' and 'give control of the public payroll back\nto the public.' This is of course absolutely untrue.\n\"The fact is, only by voting NO on Proposition 15 will the\ntaxpayers be able to keep a control on state salaries. Only by voting\nNO on 15 will the public payroll remain in the hands of the public--\nthrough elected public officials. Virtually every campaign argument\nthey have used could only be true IF it were followed by the admonition--\nVOTE NO on 15.\n\"Proposition 15 is nothing more than a blank check on the taxpayers'\nmoney, written out to state employees, with the amount of money to be\nfilled in by non-elected state employees. If Proposition 15 were to\npass, no California governor would ever again have anything to say\nabout state employee pay raises, even though the governor is supposed\nto be answerable to the taxpayers for how their money is spent.\n\"In effect, employee salaries would constitutionally have first call\non all state revenues--before education, health, or any other public\nneed.\n\"This year alone, had Proposition 15 been in effect, it would have\ncost the taxpayers another $73 million--over and above what they are\nactually paying. And, imagine how staggering such increases could be\nin the future. It is a blank check our taxpayers simply cannot afford.\n\"The truth is California has what I have often stated are 'the\nfinest employees' of any state, or other government level for that matter.\nWe have embarked on a two-phase salary adjustment which by next July\nwill have eliminated any and all inequities and we have a long range\nplan to maintain a fair salary level in the future. Therefore, I hope\nno taxpayer will be fooled by the outrageous untruths being perpetrated\nby those who are pushing Proposition 15 for their own selfish purposes.\"\n# # #\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571 10-22-72\n(The following telegram was released today by telephone to\nthe Associated Press, United Press International, San Francisco\nExaminer, San Francisco Chronicle and the Oakland Tribune):\n\"To Charles O.

Therefore,\nit is unquestionably a 'controversial issue of public importance, as\ncovered by the Fairness Doctrine which requires broadcasters to give both\nsides of such controversial issues.\"\nCiting seven CSEA-sponsored commercials that have been broadcast in\nCalifornia, Governor Reagan said:\n\"The promoters of this issue should not be permitted to advocate\npassage of Proposition 15 by means of fraudulent and deceptive\nadvertising in blatant violation of Federal Trade Commission regulations.\"\n######\nNOTE TO CAPITOL PRESS CORPS:\nAttached are the letters to the FCC and FTC, which contain the\nfalse and fraudulent language in each of the seven CSEA-sponsored\ncommercials, and the commercials themselves.\nWalthall\nOctober 26, 1972\nThe Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick\nChairman, Federal Trade Commission\n1101 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.\nWashington, D.C. 20580\nDear Mr. Chairman:\nCharges and countercharges of false and misleading adver-\ntising are not uncommon during election year campaigning.\nBut seldom can a more obvious case of deliberate deception\nand false radio and television advertising be made than here\nin California over the untruths running through the commer-\ncials supporting Proposition 15, the proposed constitutional\namendment pertaining to state employees' salaries.\nI believe the commercials I will cite in this letter re-\npresent a deliberate attempt to falsify the true nature and\neffects of Proposition 15. The promoters of this issue\nshould not be permitted to advocate passage of Proposition 15\nby means of fraudulent and deceptive advertising in blatant\nviolation of Federal Trade Commission regulations. I request\nthat the FTC take immediate action against the California\nState Employees Association to prevent the further dissemina-\ntion of its fraudulent and deceptive advertising concerning\nProposition 15.\nThe attached texts of the CSEA sponsored commercials, now\nbeing broadcast in California, are untrue and deceptive\nfor the following reasons:\nCOMMERCIAL \"A\"\nThis commercial contains the language \"Vote Yes on Proposi-\ntion 15 to avoid costly strikes\nand\nput\nsensible\ncontrols\non state pay\". Yet Proposition 15 makes no mention of\nstrikes, and does not provide any legal machinery for\ncurtailing strikes, nor does it declare that strikes by\npublic employees are already illegal. Nor does Proposition\n15 contain any language which imposes controls on state pay\nrates.\nThe Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick\nN 0 I\nOctober 26, 1972\nThe measure would establish a \"generally prevailing rate\"\nstandard, but this standard is not defined either in the\ninitiative or in California law. Court cases, however,\nseem to have interpreted the term \"generally prevailing\nrate\" to establish a floor rather than a ceiling on public\nemployee pay rates.\nCOMMERCIAL \"B\"\nThe text of this commercial contains one fraudulent message\nand two others that are absolutely false. First, it states\nthat the California Attorney General's analysis, which\nappears on the ballot, is \"misleading\" and makes Proposition\n15 read \"like a tax increase\". In fact, the Attorney General's\nanalysis contains no reference at all to taxes and simply\ncontains an estimated cost, as required by law.\nSecondly, it contains the following statement: \"It (the\nProposition) guarantees that state employment may never be\npaid more than the average wage for the same job in private\nindustry. It also ends the threat of costly strikes by state\nemployees\".\nProposition 15 does not contain the word \"average\" and the\nterm \"generally prevailing rate\" has not been defined in\nCalifornia court decisions to mean \"average\". Moreover,\nthere are no guarantees in Proposition 15 to assure that\n\"generally prevailing rate\" will limit pay rates to the\naverage rates for comparable work in private industry. In\nfact, the proposition does not limit comparisons to \"private\nindustry jobs\". As noted earlier, Proposition 15 does not\nestablish any means for preventing strikes from occurring.\nCOMMERCIAL \"C\"\nThis message contains the following language: \"Your Yes Vote\non 15 guarantees that state employees may never be paid more\nthan the average wage for the same work in private industry.\nAt the same time, YES on 15 ends the threat of costly strikes\nby state employees\nAs previously noted, these are false and fraudulent statements\naimed at concealing the true nature of Proposition 15.\nCOMMERCIAL \"D\"\nThis message repeats the charge that the official ballot\ndescription makes Proposition 15 sound like a tax increase.\nIn fact, the description does not refer to taxes.\nThe Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick\n- 3 -\nOctober 26, 1972\nBut taken in total context, Commercial \"D\" makes it appear\nthat Proposition 15 is designed to broaden the authority of\nelected officials with respect to setting pay rates for state\nemployees. It is fact that Proposition 15 would drastically\ncurtail the control which the people, through their elected\nofficials, presently have concerning public pay rates.\nCOMMERCIAL \"E\"\nThis message repeats two false statements previously referred\nto. It states that it would \"put sensible controls on the\nstate payroll\" and that it would \"give control of the public\npayroll back to the public\". Both statements are totally\nuntrue.\nCOMMERCIAL \"E\"\nThis message repeats the charge about a \"misleading\" ballot\ndescription. The commercial also implies that a \"yes\" vote\non Proposition 15 is a vote \"to keep state pay under control\".\nThat is totally untrue.\nCOMMERCIAL \"G\"\nThis commercial repeats the false statement that \"Proposition\n15 ends the threat of costly strikes by California state\nemployees\".\nThe proponent of Proposition 15, as that term is defined in\nElection Code 3500.5 (statutes of California), is the Calif-\nornia State Employees Association; the very same organization\nwhich is now telling the voters of this state that this\nmeasure will end strikes, limit salary increases for state\nemployees, give government back to the people, and not raise\ntaxes. At the same time CSEA is telling its members that\nProposition 15 will result in substantially greater salaries,\nand the Legislative Analyst of California agrees by estimating\nthat the cost of this measure would have been an added $73\nmillion of it had been in effect this fiscal year.\nIn view of the above information, subject to your own impartial\ninvestigation, I request that CSEA immediately be required by\na cease and desist order to drop the above false and fraudulent\nadvertising. It is a giant --- and well financed - hoax\nagainst the people of California.\nSincerely,\nRONALD REAGAN\nGovernor\nCEW:feb\nOctober 27, 1972\nI\nThe Honorable Dean Burch, Chairman\nFederal Communication Commission\n1919 M Street, N.W.\nWashington, D.C. 20554\nDear Mr. Chairman:\nI am enclosing herewith a copy of my letter to the FTC,\ncharging the California State Employees' Association with\nfalse and deliberately fraudulent advertising.

We are pleased to develop this testing program with GM, and\nE\nwe are cooperating with other automobile ^ manufacturers in similar\nprograms.\n\"We are making progress in the control of smog, but the goal of\nclean air is not yet a reality. I am hopeful this program will move us\nmuch further down the road to attaining that goal.\"\nThe cars will be periodically tested by the Air Resources Board\nand GM to evaluate effectiveness of the emission control systems as\nmileage accumulates, It is planned that the test program will continue\nfor up to 50,000 miles of operation.\nGM will equip the cars with experimental advanced control systems\nwhich at this time appear to have the best potential for meeting future\nstate and federal low emission standards. These will be catalytic\nsystems which GM feels have demonstrated the best potential for low\nemission capability under controlled laboratory and proving grounds\ntesting.\nThe first cars to be tested will have an oxidizing catalytic\nconverter system and other components designed to meet 1975 federal\nlimits for hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. Additional cars\nwill be incorporated in this fleet test with control systems which are\nunder development and have been designed to meet the more rigid 1976\nfederal emission standards.\n-1-\n#584\nGM emphasizes that much progress is required before the experimental\nsystems can be mass-produced that will meet future low emission levels,\nas well as function satisfactorily in the hands of drivers.\nSome of the test cars may also incorporate an electronic high energy\nignition system, advanced carburetors to provide more precise fuel\nmetering, and an early fuel evaporation system to vaporize fuel more\ncompletely in the manifold and reduce emissions during start-up.\nThe Department of Public Works will maintain thorough records of\nthe cars throughout the test period, including location and mileage of\ntrips, maintenance required beyond that recommended by the manufacturer,\nfuel and oil used and drivability. Unleaded fuel will be used exclusively\nin the test cars.\nEdward L. Tinney, equipment engineer with Division of Highways,\nDepartment of Public Works, said the lease costs of the automobiles to\nbe tested, which are Oldsmobiles and Chevrolets, will compare favorably\nwith the costs which would be incurred if the vehicles were purchased.\n\"Under normal circumstances, 450 1973 sedans would have been\npurchased for the normal replacement program of the Department of Public\nWorks fleet for the 1972-73 fiscal year, \" Tinney said. \"This number\nhas been reduced to 400 since the GM cars will be used for fleet\npurposes. \"\n# # #\n-2-\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RO.
