public entity or to the appeals board set up under the
Community Redevelopment Law. The bill also eliminates
any compensation received for relocation from
consideration in determining financial ability to
support a relative who is on welfare. It eliminates
from attachment by the county money received for
relocation benefits, and for six months money
received for the residence, of a relocated person who
is on welfare.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed the following
bill:
SB 1340 - Moscone
Revises provisions of the Governmental Conflict
Chapter 48
of Interests Act relating to conflicts of interes
and financial disclosure by certain public
officials.
Statement by Governor Reagan:
"I have today signed SB 1340, which amends the Governmental
Conflict of Interests Act (Chapter 1166, Stat. 1973), but I feel the
legislature has not fully met its responsibilities and that additional
legislation is needed--at this session--to remedy a mediocre attempt
to clarify the law.
"It has been the concern of many local, county and state officials
that the Act's applicability and requirements in many areas were
unclear. SB 1340 resolves some of those concerns. However, I share
the Assembly Republican Caucus' concern that Senator Moscone has
weakened the original Act to the detriment of the public's right to
full disclosure.
"For example, Section 3625(a) of the original bill states 'no
official shall have economic interests which are in substantial
conflict with the proper exercise of his official duties and powers.
This has been moved from the operative provisions of the Act to the
intent language of SB 1340, an obvious weakening of the law. In
addition, I believe the exemption of legislators and other full-time
elected and appointed officials provided in SB 1340, and in the original
Act, should be modified to insure that all outside sources of income be
disclosed.
"I am asking the legislature to clear up the ambiguities in the
law by approving legislation that will insure that the original intent
of the Conflict of Interests Act is preserved.
"Accordingly, we will introduce legislation that would clarify and
strengthen what I consider to be a vital protection of the public
interest."

Governor Ronald Reagan today called on the people of California
to set aside this weekend (Saturday and Sunday, March 10-11) as a
special time of prayer for the safety of kidnap victim Patricia Hearst.
"I realize that thousands of Californians and many churches
already have joined Mr. and Mrs. Hearst in their own prayers for the
safe and speedy return of their daughter," Governor Reagan said.
"No one can fail to be moved by the anguish that this tragic situation
has meant for Miss Hearst and her family.
"Those who are holding her captive should know of the deep
concern of all the people of California. So I ask every church and
temple and citizens of all faiths to make this weekend a time of prayer
for the safety of Miss Hearst and her quick return to her family."

"I am extremely pleased over Bob Lagomarsino's
victory. He built an excellent record as a member of
the California Legislature, and I am sure he will be
an outstanding Congressman.
"Obviously, Watergate was not an important factor
in the election. The voters were concerned with the
issues and the individual candidates. I think they
selected the right man for the job."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that he has vetoed the
following bill:
SB 968 - Roberti
Requires governing boards of school districts which
maintain health programs to employ only certified
persons who hold health and development credentials
or standard designated services credentials with
specialization in health in such programs.
REASON FOR VETO:
"SB 968 interferes with local control of schools in
that it mandates a program which currently is per-
mitted by law. School districts may already employ
properly certified people for the work, and supervisors
of health and physical development of pupils already
are required to be credentialed; thus, the bill is
unnecessary.
"A number of local and county school superintendents
have requested that the bill be vetoed. In some
rural areas there may be difficulty in finding
properly credentialed personnel. Therefore, existing
school health programs may have to be eliminated.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "

The following statement was delivered today by James Lake,
director of the Washington office of the State of California, before
the Federal Energy Office hearings in Washington, D.C., pertaining to
the FEO's revocation of the state and local government exemption from
crude oil price ceilings:
"The State of California thanks you for this opportunity to
present its views on the recent action of the Federal Energy Office in
revoking the state and local government exemption from crude oil price
ceilings.
"I want to address a few remarks on the fiscal impact to
California of the FEO action and then call on California State Controller
Houston Flournoy, who is chairman of our State Lands Commission, to
explain the restrictive effects on crude oil production this amendment
has had.
Economic Impact on California
"Underneath the California tidelands exists a wealth of oil
which belongs to all the people of our state. Under carefully devised
legislation, this is being exploited in two forms: (1) oil and gas
leases issued by the State Lands Commission in which the state receives
a royalty percentage - in money or in oil; and (2) the net profits
contracts system in the Long Beach tidelands in which the state and
the City of Long Beach share the profits of production with the operating
oil companies.
"In simplified terms, under present leases and contracts, the
state treasury is entitled to the value of roughly 135,000 barrels of oil
each day.
"As everybody knows, the fair market price for domestic crude
oil right now is $5 per barrel above the FEO-imposed ceiling price.
In California, and particularly on its tidelands, where gravities
generally are lower than in the mid-continent, this ceiling price is in
the range of $4.25 and $4.75 per barrel. Thus, the fair market value
of California crude, as shown by the exempt price, is currently over
twice the ceiling price imposed by FEO.
"Applying this $5 per barrel differential to the daily production
from which California receives payment, it amounts to approximately
$650,000 per day or $230,000,000 per year.
-1-
#166
"Stated more bluntly: the FEO action revoking the state's
exemption is costing the people of the State of California $650,000 a
day -- $230,000,000 a year.
"Another vice of the FEO action is its retroactive effect --
not only does California lose its exemption, but it loses it back to
last October 25. This action alone wiped out over $55 million due the
state treasury, and has put the state in the position of being required
to pay back some money --- claims so far of $1.3 million.
California's Use of Tideland Oil Revenues
"Now the question has been asked, what would California do with
all this money?
"First, the tidelands oil is a public asset, owned by the people
of California. And this oil is a depleting asset. Once a barrel of
oil is out of the ground it is gone for good. The people of California
are entitled to receive fair market value for their oil. The FEO ceiling
price order deprives the people of California of over half of that
value, and at a time when California tidelands oil production has
reached its peak. A federal rule which allows over half the value of
oil to be kept by purchasers cannot be considered in the public interest.
"Secondly, since the creation of the State Lands Commission in
1938, the California Legislature has recognized that tidelands oil is
a capital asset and has directed that oil revenue be devoted to public
capital projects. Initially this was the acquisition of state park
lands. In the late 1950s and the 1960s a large portion of this
revenue was devoted to California's progressive Central Valley Water
Project. Twenty-five million dollars of this revenue is still used
annually for this purpose. The balance currently is devoted to capital
outlay for California's university and college systems. The City of
Long Beach's share of tideland oil has, of course, been used to help
create a modern and thriving port.
"There have been suggestions that this new money be devoted to
energy related uses, such as rapid transit facilities as urged by
and the California Legislature.
State Controller Houston I. Flournoy/ The state currently has this
matter under serious study. You may be assured that this revenue
derived from a scarce and valuable public asset will be used only for
long-term and statewide public benefit.

"It has been suggested that to restrict California's oil
revenue to ceiling prices would result in lower gasoline prices at the
pump.
This requires two assumptions, neither of which will hold up:
"First, that the California public-interest oil is a significant
factor in the gasoline market. It is not. The 135,000 daily barrels of
oil is virtually nothing against the nine million plus barrels
per day of crude oil production in the United States, or the 17 million
plus barrels of daily demand in this country, or the five million plus
barrels of price from imported crude oil and products. At least 40
percent of all crude oil used in this country is not subject to price
ceilings. California's share is miniscule.
"The second assumption is that any savings resulting from an
artificially restricted price impound on California's crude oil will
be passed on to the consumer at the pump. This is extremely doubtful.
"As the president said in his message on vetoing the Emergency
Energy Act, rollbacks on crude oil prices would result in 'minimal, if
any, reduction in gasoline prices.' If this system created by the FEO
worked perfectly, perhaps that would be the result. It is known the
system is not working perfectly, and the FEO does not have the staff
to make it perfect. As a recent newspaper article pointed out, FEO
has the use of 300 IRS agents to check on the 225,000 service stations
in this country, and in checks on 20,000 of them, found 25 percent
were overcharging. There is no way of checking on whether this roll-
back on state crude oil prices would be passed through to the consumer
at the pump. If you could guarantee that result, the state might
reconsider its position. The state guarantees that the $230,000,000,
if received by the State of California, would be expended for the
public, the same people who are supposed to benefit by reduced prices.
Federal - State Relationships
"Last September Governor Reagan created in California an Energy
Planning Council to cope with the energy crisis. This is the agency
that handles state functions under the Emergency Petroleum Allocation
Act of 1973 enacted by Congress. The Energy Planning Council and its
staff was directed to cooperate fully with its federal counterparts ---
and they have. They have tried to work together so that we can all do
a job that must be done.

"Despite this, California has seen the FEO divert its gasoline
supplies to other states, saddle the state with an excessive share of
military oil products demands, particularly when the military could
produce its demand from Elk Hills, and now this --- cutting off its
revenue. Actions such as this, which were taken without public notice
and without public hearing, place an intolerable strain on our system
of federalism.
"The State of California thinks an action of the federal
government, which will have such an adverse effect on state government
and will override well established state policy, deserves far greater
consideration and public airing than was given in this case. Fair
treatment for the 20 million people of the State of California requires
that the FEO action of February 21, 1974 be immediately repealed and
the state and local government exemption be restored.
"Thank you again for this chance to express California's great
concern over the action taken by the Federal Energy Office."

Governor Ronald Reagan today ordered primary and special elections
to fill vacancies in the 6th Congressional District and 24th State
Senatorial District.
Primaries in both will be June 4, in conjunction with the
statewide primary. Special elections, if necessary, will be July 2.
The vacancies occurred as a result of Congressman William S.
Mailliard's resignation to accept an appointment as U.S. Ambassador to
the Organization of American States and the resignation of State Senator
Robert J. Lagomarsino following his election March 5 to the 13th
Congressional District seat.
The 6th Congressional District, as presently constituted, includes
the counties of San Francisco and Marin and a small portion of Sonoma
County. Most of this will be changed to the 5th District in December
because of reapportionment.
The 24th State Senatorial District presently includes all of
Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Reapportionment changes the seat
to a new 18th District encompassing the western part of Ventura County
and almost all of Santa Barbara County in December.
As a result, most candidates in both races will undoubtedly file
for election on the same ballot to unexpired terms in the present
districts and new terms in the new districts.

Governor Ronald Reagan today approved changes in the California
Gasoline Emergency Mandatory Marketing Plan now operating in the
counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano,
San Mateo, Riverside, Santa Clara and Ventura.
The emergency proclamation was amended to take effect immediately.
The new rules were developed by the Energy Planning Council and
the Office of Emergency Services as the result of the State Monitoring
Program of the marketing plan. Representatives of the nine counties
involved met in Sacramento yesterday, and recommended the changes
(which are attached).
Major changes include providing exemptions from the odd/even plan
for emergency vehicles to include "public or private vehicles used
for protection of life, property, and public health," along with
public transit vehicles, U.S. postal vehicles, and vehicles operated by
the handicapped.
The amended regulations are attached. New sections are underlined.

REGULATIONS FOR CALIFORNIA'S GASOLINE EMERGENCY
In light of the state of emergency now existing in the counties
of Los Angeles, Orange, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, San Mateo,
Riverside, Santa Clara and' Ventura, and pursuant to the authority
vested in me to promulgate, issue and enforce rules, regulations
and orders, I deem the following amanded rules and regulations neces-
sary for the protection of life and property:
1.
At the retail level, gasoline may be dispensed into
vehicles with a license plate whose last (or only)
digit is an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) only on
odd numbered days of the month, that is, on the
first, third, fifth, seventh and so on. Environ-
mental license plates that contain letters only
will be equivalent to the digit 1. Examples of
odd number plates are as follows:
SAM 123
123 SAM
MARTHA
KAM 2345
12345J
J12345
2.
At the retail level, gasoline may be dispensed into
vehicles with a license plate whose last (or only)
digit is an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) only on
even numbered days of the month, that is, on the
second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth and so on.
Examples of even number plates are as follows:
SAM 132
132 SAM
DAVE 2
2 MARY
KMA 3456
01234J
J01234
W6ABC
3.
For any calendar month in which there are 31 days,
sales may be made on the thirty-first day of the
month without regard to the registration plates
of the motor vehicle.
4.
Gasoline shall not be sold to any vehicle that
has more than one-half tankful of gasoline. When
requested by the gasoline attendant, the customer
shall permit inspection of the fuel gauge with
the ignition key in the "on" position.
printed In CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF STATE PLINTING
Executive Department
State of California
5.
When dispensing gasoline to the general public,
gasoline retailers shall not refuse to sell gaso-
line to anyone, on appropriate odd or even days,
except to refuse to sell gasoline to vehicles
with more than one-half a tankful of fuel.
6.
No general hours or days of operation are required
by these regulations. However, each gasoline
retailer shall clearly post by signs legible from
off the premises his anticipated minimum business
days and hours of operation for dispensing gasoline.
COMMENT:
Individual retailers are the best judges
of the business days and hours that satisfy
their customers' needs, and are encouraged
:
to work out staggered hours of operation
in common marketing areas. All gasoline
suppliers are urged to refrain from estab-
lishing additional retail stations, and
are urged not to reduce the gasoline sup-
plics available to existing stations in
order to supply unnecessary new stations.
7.
Each gasoline retailer shall manage his monthly fuel
allocation 50 that it will last through the month.
COMMENT:
The need for maximum and minimum purchase limits
appears no longer necessary. Gasoline retailers
are aiscouraced from estaolisming maxamum or mani-
mum purchase Jamits; nowever 1I limits are adopted
the retailer should cleariv indicate unese limits
by sions legible from OII the premises.
8.
Each service station shall clearly indicate its gaso-
line supply and service situation by a sign or flag,
easily visible from off the premises. If the flag
system is used, the following will apply: Green
flag--gasoline available for the general public (on
appropriate days for appropriate license plates) ;
yellow flag--gasoline available for emergency vehicles
only; red flag--out of gasoline and/or closed. If
the sign system is used, it should state the fol-
lowing, or equivalent information: Gasoline avail-
able--emergency vehicles only--out of gasoline
and/or closed.
9.

OES RELEASE #7353
(amended)
On behalf of the Energy Planning Council, the Office of Emergency
Services announces the following clarifications of the Emergency
Gasoline Marketing Plan.
1. Vehicles used for commercial purposes: These guidelines were
issued today ICI use by retailers in determining whether a
vehicle is used for commercial purposes.
A. Vehicles which by their design, size, or recognizable
company identification are obviously being used for
commercial purposes.
B. Vehicles which are owned and operated as part of a company
vehicle fleet as may be determined by company marking or
the vehicle's registration.
C. Individually owned vehicles used for commercial purposes,
as evidenced by the presence of specialized equipment,
instruments, tools of the trade or profession, supplies
or other material which cannot be readily carried by the
vehicle operator on public transportation, or any other
evidence that it is necessary to use the vehicle for
commercial purposes.
2. Doctors and Nurses: No blanket exemption is made for doctors
and nurses. Howaver, when they are using their vehicles for
professional purposes (such as special calls) their vehicles
should be considered as those being used for commercial
purposes and when using their vehicles for emergency calls
they should be considered emergency venicles. Physicians
and nurses are expected to GO the same planning in fueling
their vehicles for private use as are other citizens. In
extreme emergency situations, they can call upon taxis,
ambulances, or the local law enforcement agency,
3. Appointments: "Sales by appointment only constitute discrim-
ination under Section 210. 62 of the Federal Petroleum
Allocation and Price Regulations, unless he (the retailer)
conducted his business by appointment only prior to
January 15, 1972 in so far as he continues his pre-
existing practice."
4.
FEO regulations also prohibit stations from selling exclu-
sively to commercial vehicles.

California to open their company owned and operated gasoline stations
on Sundays.
In a telegram to the companies, Governor Reagan said:
"In light of continuing difficulties many people are having in
obtaining gasoline, I am asking the oil companies to voluntarily open
their company owned and operated stations on Sundays. Several have
already agreed. I hope you will join them. Please advise me whether
you are able to do so."
As of 4:30 p.m. Friday, the following companies had contacted the
governor and reported they will comply with his request and open their
stations this Sunday: Mobile, 51 stations; Gulf, 66 stations; Union,

Governor Ronald Reagan today said approximately 900 gasoline
stations owned and operated by major oil companies in California will
be open Sundays, beginning March 24.
At the same time, Governor Reagan said California motorists will
still have to conserve gasoline because "the shortage is still acute
and will continue for some time."
He urged all Californians to continue their efforts to reduce the
use of their automobiles.
"The lifting of the embargo on the sale of crude oil to the United
States by the Arab nations will eventually increase the supply of
gasoline in California," the governor said. "However, it will be
several weeks before the increased supply is felt in California and,
even then, the supply will fall short of the demand."
He pointed out the oil companies' owned and operated stations will
be open on Sundays only to alleviate some of the difficulties many
people are having in obtaining gasoline. The extra day will be
particularly helpful in those counties using the "odd/even marketing
plan" by reducing the time some motorists must wait to purchase
gasoline.
The firms which have notified the governor that they will open
their company-owned and operated stations starting Sunday, and the
number of stations, include: Standard, 235; Phillips, 200; Arco, 36;
Gulf, 66; Douglas, 62; Mobil, 51; Shell, 81; Time, 40; Save Mor, 75;
and Union, 5.
Officials at the Exxon Oil Company informed the governor they were
in the process of evaluating each of their company-owned stations and
that several would be open this Sunday. Texaco, which has no company
operated stations in California, is encouraging its franchise dealers
to open on Sundays.
In addition, the companies are working on schedules to have their
individual stations open on a staggered-hour basis so more will be open
throughout the day.
"I am extremely pleased at the oil companies' cooperation,"
Governor Reagan said. "Their response to our request that they open
their stations on Sundays has been excellent.
"The 'Odd/Even Plan' is working and waiting lines at stations are
being reduced in most cases and even eliminated. If motorists will
continue to reduce the miles they normally drive and use their
automobiles wisely, there will be enough gasoline for necessary trips,"
the governor concluded.

Governor Ronald Reagan today established a state Advisory
Commission on Youth, and appointed Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke as
its coordinator.
The commission, established by executive order, will be made up of
15 persons who are 25 years of age or younger.
"Since therehas been increased greater involvement by youth in
government in recent years to go along with their full voting
responsibilities at 18, it is time the state utilized to the fullest
extent their energy and abilities," Governor Reagan said. "This will
also provide for their greater involvement in the decision-making
process.'
Members, the governor said, will be selected as closely as possible
to represent the state's youth in geography, population, race and sex.
Nominations for appointment to the commission will be submitted to
the governor by the League of California Cities, after consultation with
the California Youth Coalition. Members will receive their necessary
expenses.
Initial terms for the 15 members will be staggered, the governor
said. Eight members will receive three-year terms and seven will get
two-year appointments. Thereafter, two-year terms will be the rule.
Staff support for the commission will be provided by existing
personnel of the state Office of Planning and Research. Coordination
will be the responsibility of the Lieutenant Governor's office.
The commission will hold its first meeting in Sacramento, on a date
as yet undecided. After that the commission will meet at least every
two months in a location of their choosing.
Commissioners will be responsible for coordinating information on
youth activities throughout the state, achieving greater youth involvement
in all areas of government, advising the state's executive and
legislative branches, conducting forums on areas of concern to youth
in which governmental and non-governmental agencies and community
organizations may be invited to participate, and studying all problems,
activities and concerns of California youth.
The commission will encourage the formation of local youth
commissions and councils, of which there exist more than 110 currently.

Allows California to join the Multistate Tax
Chapter 93
Commission as a regular member. California is
presently an associate member of the
commission.
STATEMENT:
"I realize this is an extremely controversial
bill and that both sides have put forth con-
vincing arguments for their points of view.
However, I feel that by signing the bill into
law, California will maintain its position
of leadership in formulating interstate
taxation policy and will continue to have the
opportunity to protect its interests. In
addition, this action will forestall preemption
of this vital policy-making area by the federal
government. I believe the states, who have a
better understanding of their particular
problems involving taxation, are in a better
position to determine policy in taxing multi-
state taxpayers."

following bills:
AB 14 -R. Johnson
Increases various fees of the Butte County Superior
Chapter 95
Court.
AB 1120 - Knox
Deletes the requirement that a surviving husband of
Chapter 92
a Public Employees' Retirement System member be

AB 1595 - Duffy
Requires the Board of Medical Examiners to prepare

AB 2546 - Seeley
Authorizes the Director of Food and Agriculture or

harvest of crops that carry spray residue in excess
of permissible tolerances.
AB 2642 - Bannai
Increases the maximum amount a coroner can collect
Chapter 98
for embalming a body from $50 to $100. The bill
also changes from $75 to $150 the maximum amount
available for burial of a person to make embalming
a county charge.
SB 1472 - Stiern
Extends the date by which documents relating to
Chapter 94
boundary changes of county water districts must be
filed with government agencies for assessment and
tax purposes during the 1974-75 fiscal year.
Governor Reagan also announced that he has vetoed the following
bill:
AB 468 - Maddy
Extends to all school districts, rather than those
with over 250 average daily attendance applicability
of provisions regarding mandatory permanent tenure
for certificated employees after three complete
consecutive school years of service.
REASON FOR VETO:
"This bill would require small school districts with
less than 250 average daily attendance to grant
permanent status to certificated employees who have
served three consecutive school years, commencing
with the 1974-75 school year. Current law permits
such districts to grant permanent status to
certificated employees.
"In most cases, small school districts have only one
school, a few teachers, and no full-time administra-
tive staff. They do not have the resources, for
example, to cope with the intricate procedures
involved in dismissing a tenured teacher. Since
they can grant tenure to teachers if they desire, I
know of no compelling reason for the state to impose
this requirement.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today appointed Richard N. Parslow, Jr.,
a staff attorney for Pacific Legal Foundation in Sacramento, to the
Orange County Municipal Court bench in Santa Ana.
Parslow, a 39-year-old Republican, fills a vacancy created by the
elevation of Judge James H. Walsworth to the Superior Court bench.
After nine years as a deputy district attorney in Orange County,
Parslow last June joined the Pacific Legal Foundation, a non-profit,
public interest law firm. Foundation officials said their primary
purpose is to act as the voice of responsible citizens in matters
involving major issues of public policy.
Because of his extensive background in welfare-related matters,
Parslow has been assisting other states in welfare reform efforts
paralleling California's successful program. His initial effort on
behalf of the foundation came at the request of the Illinois Legislature
and that state's Democratic Governor Dan Walker.
The early impact in Illinois was the discovery of 20,000 cases of
inaccurate reporting of income by Aid for Dependent Children (AFDC)
recipients on the welfare rolls, foundation officials said.
Foundation contracts are in effect currently with the states of
Pennsylvania and South Dakota, officials said, and many other states
have enlisted the foundation's help without contracts. Pennsylvania's
legislature has passed through one house a major welfare reform act
drafted by Parslow and the foundation.
Parslow is a recognized leader in striving to reach a solution to
the state's absent father child support problem.
A native of South Gate, he received his bachelor's and law degrees
from UCLA after having served 18 months in Korea as an Army enlisted
man.
Parslow is married, has four daughters and will earn $34,605
annually as a judge.
