Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that he has signed the
following bills:
AB 497 - Meade
Provides that where a local ordinance so provides any
Chapter 124
interested person adversely affected by a decision of
the advisory agency or appeals board in relation to
the approval of a tentative subdivision map may file
a complaint with the legislative body. The bill
authorizes the legislative body to hold a hearing
on such complaint.
AB 1326 - Ralph
Revises the Food and Agricultural Code provision
"hapter 125
which establishes the requirement for a hearing by

commissioner. Present law requires the convening of
a trial board upon the petition presented to the
Director of Food and Agriculture by 25 resident
freeholders or upon the presentation of satisfactory
evidence of such neglect of duty, incompetence or
misconduct. This bill deletes the provision relating
to resident agricultural freeholders. The intended
purpose of the deletion is to eliminate the exclusive
right of agricultural freeholders to bring such
charges and to continue to leave the present
provisions where any person or group may present
evidence to the Director of such neglective duty or
misconduct.
AB 1346 - Knox
Increases from 70 days to 90 days the time in which
Chapter 126
a hearing on a proposed local agency formation must

initiated until an application for formation is
accepted for filing by the executive officer.
AB 1347 - Knox
Provides that disincorporation of an existing city
Chapter 127
which is proposed as a part of a plan of reorganiza-
tion may also be conducted in accordance with the
procedures for reorganization set forth in the District
Reorganization Act unless the affected city objects
thereto. The bill also changes the time in which the
executive officer of a local agency formation
commission must submit his impartial analysis of
ballot propositions to the commission for approval.
It also makes changes with respect to the time that
the commission must submit the analysis to those
officials conducting the election.
AB 1455 - Duffy
Creates within the jurisdiction of the Board of
Chapter 128
Dental Examiners a nine-member Committee on Dental
Auxiliaries appointed by the governor. It establishes
a program for certification in the categories of
dental assistant and dental assistant in extended
functions and for licensure in the categories of
dental hygienist and dental hygienist in extended
functions. The bill authorizes the Committee to make
recommendations to the Board concerning the
implementation of the program, including recommenda-
tions concerning the range of permissible functions
of each category. The Board is required to establish
such ranges and certify and license applicants who
meet prescribed educational, experience, and examina-
tion requirements.
AB 1859 - Seeley
Changes the scope of the Factory-Built Housing Law
Chapter 129
to include elements such as building components and
systems. It requires all factory-built housing
manufacturers to have the Department of Housing and
Community Development plan approval and to bear insignia. The bill

AB 2523 - Dixon
Amends the County Employees' Retirement Law of 1937
Chapter 131
to provide that the marshal and assistant marshal
shall become safety members on the first day of the
calendar month following their appointment regardless
of age. The bill also provides that under certain
specified conditions a person over 35 years of age
and involved in active law enforcement may elect to
become a safety member if the county board of
supervisors adopt this provision.
AB 2664-McAlister
Changes the executor's or administrator's annual
Chapter 132
maximum surety bond allowance from $10 for bonds in
the amount of $2,000 or less, to $20 for bonds in the
amount of $4,000 or less.
AB 3170 - Badham
Appropriates $13,700,000 from the General Fund to the
Chapter 133
State Controller for reimbursement of local taxing
authorities in augmentation of Item 82, Budget Act of
1973. Item 82 of the Budget Act of 1973 appropriated

Chapter 122
Employment Development Department to administer a
program to reimburse private employers 50 percent
for up to 18 months for salaries and wages of Vietnam
veterans employed by employers if specified conditions
are met by the employer.
REASON FOR REDUCTION:
"I am reducing the appropriation contained in
Section 2 of Assembly Bill No. 276 from $5,000,000
to $1,000,000.
"The reduced appropriation of $1,000,000 should be
adequate to demonstaate the effectiveness of the
employment training program proposed by this bill.
"Additional funding can be made available in future
budgets if there is a showing that this program
promotes meaningful job training opportunities for
California's Vietnam veterans.
"with this reduction, I approve Assembly Bill #276."
Governor Reagan also vetoed the following bill:
AB 2041 - Knox
Provides that if the disability of certain local safety
employees continues beyond one year, they shall be
entitled to disability indemnity under the workmen's
compensation law for apperiod not to exceed 240 weeks
within five years, rather than until the effective date
of retirement under the Public Employees' Retirement
System. The bill limits the total amount of disability
pension and workmen's compensation indemnity payments in
such cases to an amount not in excess of full salary.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I share the concern of the League of California Cities
and the County Supervisors Association that AB 2041 will
mandate potentially significant costs on local government
and thus would violate the letter and the spirit of
Section 2231 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"In this year's State of the State Address, I proposed changes in
the law that would reduce the flood of spending measures that flow down
to my desk from the legislature at every session. Those proposals were
in line with Proposition One, our tax limitation plan of last year.
"Today, I am happy to announce that Assemblyman Bill Bagley and
Senator John Stull will soon introduce those proposals in the form of
legislation.
"Good government demands fiscal restraint. During the past seven-
plus years, I have not hesitated to reduce appropriations or blue-pencil
unnecessary spending items from the budget. Had not this action been
taken, a tax increase would have been necessary almost every one of
those seven years just to balance the budget.
"Fiscal responsibility should be a two-way street, in the governor's
office and in the legislature. The state constitution requires the
governor to submit a balanced budget. And, if necessary, he is required
to propose higher taxes to make sure the budget is balanced. I believe
the same requirement should apply to the legislature.
"Accordingly, Assemblyman Bagley and Senator Stull will introduce
a Constitutional Amendment imposing the same restraint on the legislature
It provides that the budget bill passed by the legislature shall not
propose expenditures in excess of available state resources. If it does,
then the legislature would be required to pass a companion bill by
June 15 of each year to provide the additional revenues to balance the
budget.
"This amendment to the constitution would have the effect of
eliminating most of the unnecessary spending proposals that have
contributed to the yearly increase in the cost of government and the
constant drain on the taxpayers' resources.
"In addition, they will introduce legislation that will require the
following:
"(1) Neither house of the legislature shall approve a bill with an
expenditure of $1 million or more unless it contains: a new tax to pay
for it; a corresponding reduction in the state budget; or, a statement
that it can be funded from existing revenues.
"(2) Require every expenditure bill and amendment to contain a
revenue synopsis for ensuing years by the legislative analyst.
"And (3) Require that any bill needing a tax increase contain a
statement in bold-face type saying that a tax increase will be
needed to fund the proposal.
"We will be happy to answer your questions."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that on the basis of
supply-demand projections for the balance of 1974 prepared by the
State Energy Planning Council, he strongly supports the continuation
of the 55 m.p.h. speed limit.
The report indicates increased supplies of gasoline that will
become available in late May as a result of the lifting of the Arab
oil embargo will still fall short of unconstrained demand by about
9-1/2 percent.
"Although the increased price of refined oil products because
of the high price of Persian Gulf crude oil will tend to reduce demand
a little, the report indicates that we will still have to conserve our
use of gasoline," Governor Reagan said. "The 55 m.p.h. speed limit is
the simplest and fairest conservation measure available.
"There's an added bonus. We're losing about 100 fewer
Californians per month in the form of highway fatalities. We can
argue about whether we are saving 25 million or only 20 million gallons
of gasoline per month with the 55 speed limit -- the savings are in that
range -- but we know how many people died in auto accidents in February
1973 and in February 1974. A lot of us are still walking around whom
wouldn't be except for the lower speed limits."
The governor also cautioned that gasoline supplies are not
expected to increase much above the levels of last month until about
mid-May.
"We must be careful not to lapse back into our old driving habits
in anticipation of gasoline that won't reach the pumps for another six
weeks."
According to the report Governor Reagan also noted that while
overall shortage of petroleum products will be considerably reduced
beginning in the last half of May, the supply will not fully meet
demand by an average of about 8 percent for all products. California
refinery capacity could not meet demand during much of 1973; that
capacity has not increased by demand for petroleum products has gone
up, particularly for fuel oil to replace rapidly dwindling supplies
of natural gas for the generation of electricity and to power industry.
-1-
"The need ti conserve electricity and n ural gas, as well as
gasoline, will be as important as before," Governor Reagan said. "We
need to keep our heating thermostats at 68°F and our air conditioning
thermostats set at 78°F at least until the energy available to California
can catch up with our needs. Otherwise we may ourselves hurt the
economy of California more than the Arab nations did with their embargo."
In line with the recommendations of tis Energy Planning Council,
Governor Reagan also:
Urged the California Public Utilities Commission to continue its
studies to develop economic incentives to conserve electricity and
natural gas and to emphasize and encourage all other practical energy
conservation measures.
Gave the go-ahead to the Energy Planning Council to develop
recommendations for: expediting an increase in petroleum refining
capacity, expediting nuclear power plant siting and construction,
and assisting electric utilities and industry in obtaining adequate
supplies of fuel oil.
will petition the federal government to adjust its residual fuel
allocation program to an annual rather than a monthly basis.

Students of the California State University and Colleges will get
more financial help in the next academic year if a proposal today by
Governor Ronald Reagan is adopted by the legislature's fiscal committees.
The governor seeks a $300,000 state expenditure to administer a
federal student scholarship program that could result in an additional
$9 million for students with financial need.
Today's proposal came in letters from state Finance Director
Verne Orr to chairmen Willie Brown of the Assembly Ways and Means
Committee and Randolph Collier of the Senate Finance Committee. The
committees are currently holding separate hearings on the state budget.
According to Governor Reagan, the Federal Higher Education
Amendments of 1972 created a basic educational opportunity grant program
(BEOG) intended to provide a foundation level of aid for needy college
students. "In its first year, the governor said, "only about half of
the $122 million appropriated nationwide for BEOG has been spent.
Students from low-income families have been denied these grants because
of the program's administrative complexity and the students lack of
knowledge about it. State funding will lead to the availability of
maximum participation by students and full implementation of this
important concept of direct grants to worthy students."
According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, last fall California
had 15 percent of the nation's college and university enrollment and 30
percent of the community college population. Nine out of ten California
college students were at a public school, in comparison with 61 percent
in the state of New York, the same report indicated.
In addition, the report showed that California supports nearly 2½
times as many students (1,321,000 to 542,000) in public higher education
as New York, which is a distant second nationally.
In his 1974-75 budget, Governor Reagan requested $62 million in
financial aid for students from low-income families to get a college
education, an increase of 8 percent over the current year.
Of the $62 million projected by the governor, $41.6 million will be
provided through the state Scholarship and Loan Commission an increase
of more than $36 million since Reagan took office in 1967.
Another $11.2 million of the total is earmarked for expenditures on
Educational Opportunity Programs and related services.
"The total student financial aid picture in California is bright,'
said Reagan. "The opportunities for California youth to achieve higher
education, regardless of their financial status, has never been better.

Marketing Bulletin
No. 10
Governor Ronald Reagan has released Los Angeles and Ventura
Counties from the California Emergency Gasoline Marketing
Regulations at the request of their Boards of Supervisors.
Los Angeles and Ventura have become the last of nine counties
to terminate the local emergency situations which prompted
them to request the regulations in early March.
The program was designed to reduce lines at gas stations, and
to provide an orderly system for purchasing gasoline. The
counties in which the plan was implemented reported lines were
substantially reduced, and the plan contributed significantly
to a more orderly gasoline marketing procedure.
"The availability of gasoline was improved considerably, " said
Herb Temple, OES Director, "so continuing the emergency system
is unnecessary. " The Governor's action becomes effective
immediately.

"Fortunately, this senseless act of violence occurred at a
time when the building was not occupied, but that doesn't erase the
fact that it was part and parcel of the increasing violent atmosphere
that has been building in some sections of the country in recent
months.
"I know that law enforcement officials will move quickly
in an effort to identify and apprehend those responsible for this
stupid act. The general public can help, too. If we are to stop this
senseless violence, anyone having information about a particular crime
should pass it along to the appropriate authorities. They may be

Following is the text of a letter by Governor Reagan to Congressman
Ray Madden, chairman of the House Rules Committee regarding federal
land use planning legislation. Copies of the letter were also sent to
all members of the California Congressional Delegation. The legislation,
is
(HR 10294)/authored by Congressman Morris Udall of Arizona.
"California recognizes the need for the nation and each state and
locality to maintain a land use planning process so that land---our most
valuable resource---is used wisely. State and local agencies must develo
balanced environmental, economic and social objectives in order to meet
this responsibility. This process can best be accomplished by allowing
the states and localities to determine and solve their own land use and
environmental issues.
"In attempting to accomplish environmental goals, federal agency
administrators frequently issue guidelines and regulations which attempt
to meet national as well as state objectives. Often the effect of this
action is that a 'functional feudalist,' concerned with only one issue,
dictates the land use objectives of states and localities. A federally
mandated 'guideline' on land use that might apply to a non-urban state
may not apply to a complex state like California that has highly
urbanized as well as non-urban, resource-oriented areas.
"In California we are taking steps to develop a mechanism which
will provide for the establishment of statewide environmental, social
and economic objectives. This mechanism is attainable at the state
level by coordination of functional planning, resolution of local
jurisdictional conflicts while preserving local authority and respecting
private property rights.
"The federal government should recognize California's leadership in
this field and work to insure that state and local as well as national
environmental goals are balanced with economic and social goals. In
referring to the pending national land use legislation in his State of
the Union speech in January of this year, President Nixon stated: 'This
legislation would reaffirm that the basic responsibility for land use
decisions rests with state and localities, and would provide funds to
encourage them to meet their responsibility.'
-1-
#266
"HR 10294 does not meet this objective. We believe that the states
and localities must develop a balanced approach to land use needs and
maintain a process in order to conserve limited resources. We believe
it is impossible to centralize land use decision making at the federal
level without: (1) establishing an arbitrary bureaucratic machinery
that would almost guarantee administrative chaos, or (2) seriously
infringing on the constitutionally guaranteed concept of private
ownership of property; it appears to us that the legislative approach
contained in these measures would inevitably raise such constitutional
issues.
"A year ago, in outlining principles to be used on guidelines for
land use legislation in California, I stated that California would be
pleased to implement sound legislation, but HR 10294 as written does
not meet our criteria. While we appreciate the interest in establishing
a federal land use policy, such a policy should not require a federal
infringement into an area of responsibility reserved to the states and
localities.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"I want to emphasize that the energy shortage is still with
us. Increased oil imports are reducing its severity but not eliminating
the basic problem. Demand has simply outgrown our ability to supply
and process energy.
"Petroleum refining capacity has not yet caught up with the
significant new demand for fuel oil created by the need to replace our
drastically reduced natural gas supplies. Where 50 percent of our
electricity was generated by natural gas and only seven percent by
fuel oil just a short time ago, those percentages have now very nearly
reversed.
"This means that less oil can be made into gasoline.
Californians must continue to observe the 55 mile per hour speed limit
and to eliminate unnecessary driving. It also means that we must
continue to conserve natural gas and electricity in our homes, shops
and factories. The less natural gas and electricity we use as consumers
the less oil the utilities will have to burn to generate electricity.
"California has been fortunate in that this past winter was
warm and wet. Hydroelectric generation has been very high and we needed
to burn less oil than expected in the generation of electricity. We
can't count on that happening again next winter. The utilities will
need all the oil they can store going into next winter to assure an
adequate supply of electricity.
"I therefore urge all Californians to keep up their energy
conservation efforts. There will be enough gasoline, electricity,
and natural gas for everyone's needs but only if we use them carefully
and wisely."

Those proposals were\nin line with Proposition One, our tax limitation plan of last year.\n\"Today, I am happy to announce that Assemblyman Bill Bagley and\nSenator John Stull will soon introduce those proposals in the form of\nlegislation.\n\"Good government demands fiscal restraint. During the past seven-\nplus years, I have not hesitated to reduce appropriations or blue-pencil\nunnecessary spending items from the budget. Had not this action been\ntaken, a tax increase would have been necessary almost every one of\nthose seven years just to balance the budget.\n\"Fiscal responsibility should be a two-way street, in the governor's\noffice and in the legislature. The state constitution requires the\ngovernor to submit a balanced budget. And, if necessary, he is required\nto propose higher taxes to make sure the budget is balanced. I believe\nthe same requirement should apply to the legislature.\n\"Accordingly, Assemblyman Bagley and Senator Stull will introduce\na Constitutional Amendment imposing the same restraint on the legislature\nIt provides that the budget bill passed by the legislature shall not\npropose expenditures in excess of available state resources. If it does,\nthen the legislature would be required to pass a companion bill by\nJune 15 of each year to provide the additional revenues to balance the\nbudget.\n\"This amendment to the constitution would have the effect of\neliminating most of the unnecessary spending proposals that have\ncontributed to the yearly increase in the cost of government and the\nconstant drain on the taxpayers' resources.\n\"In addition, they will introduce legislation that will require the\nfollowing:\n\"(1) Neither house of the legislature shall approve a bill with an\nexpenditure of $1 million or more unless it contains: a new tax to pay\nfor it; a corresponding reduction in the state budget; or, a statement\nthat it can be funded from existing revenues.\n\"(2) Require every expenditure bill and amendment to contain a\nrevenue synopsis for ensuing years by the legislative analyst.\n\"And (3) Require that any bill needing a tax increase contain a\nstatement in bold-face type saying that a tax increase will be\nneeded to fund the proposal.\n\"We will be happy to answer your questions.\"\n#####\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR ROM D REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n4-4-74\n#217\nThree new judges, including City Councilman Billy G.

We're losing about 100 fewer\nCalifornians per month in the form of highway fatalities. We can\nargue about whether we are saving 25 million or only 20 million gallons\nof gasoline per month with the 55 speed limit -- the savings are in that\nrange -- but we know how many people died in auto accidents in February\n1973 and in February 1974. A lot of us are still walking around whom\nwouldn't be except for the lower speed limits.\"\nThe governor also cautioned that gasoline supplies are not\nexpected to increase much above the levels of last month until about\nmid-May.\n\"We must be careful not to lapse back into our old driving habits\nin anticipation of gasoline that won't reach the pumps for another six\nweeks.\"\nAccording to the report Governor Reagan also noted that while\noverall shortage of petroleum products will be considerably reduced\nbeginning in the last half of May, the supply will not fully meet\ndemand by an average of about 8 percent for all products. California\nrefinery capacity could not meet demand during much of 1973; that\ncapacity has not increased by demand for petroleum products has gone\nup, particularly for fuel oil to replace rapidly dwindling supplies\nof natural gas for the generation of electricity and to power industry.\n-1-\n\"The need ti conserve electricity and n ural gas, as well as\ngasoline, will be as important as before,\" Governor Reagan said. \"We\nneed to keep our heating thermostats at 68°F and our air conditioning\nthermostats set at 78°F at least until the energy available to California\ncan catch up with our needs. Otherwise we may ourselves hurt the\neconomy of California more than the Arab nations did with their embargo.\"\nIn line with the recommendations of tis Energy Planning Council,\nGovernor Reagan also:\nUrged the California Public Utilities Commission to continue its\nstudies to develop economic incentives to conserve electricity and\nnatural gas and to emphasize and encourage all other practical energy\nconservation measures.\nGave the go-ahead to the Energy Planning Council to develop\nrecommendations for: expediting an increase in petroleum refining\ncapacity, expediting nuclear power plant siting and construction,\nand assisting electric utilities and industry in obtaining adequate\nsupplies of fuel oil.\nwill petition the federal government to adjust its residual fuel\nallocation program to an annual rather than a monthly basis.\n######\n-2-\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californ 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n4-5-74\n#221\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills have\nbeen signed:\nAB 2151 - Bagley\nExempts from sales and use taxes the sales of hot\nChapter 156\nprepared foods by caterers or other vendors to air\ncarriers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce\nfor consumption by passengers.

Copies of the letter were also sent to\nall members of the California Congressional Delegation. The legislation,\nis\n(HR 10294)/authored by Congressman Morris Udall of Arizona.\n\"California recognizes the need for the nation and each state and\nlocality to maintain a land use planning process so that land---our most\nvaluable resource---is used wisely. State and local agencies must develo\nbalanced environmental, economic and social objectives in order to meet\nthis responsibility. This process can best be accomplished by allowing\nthe states and localities to determine and solve their own land use and\nenvironmental issues.\n\"In attempting to accomplish environmental goals, federal agency\nadministrators frequently issue guidelines and regulations which attempt\nto meet national as well as state objectives. Often the effect of this\naction is that a 'functional feudalist,' concerned with only one issue,\ndictates the land use objectives of states and localities. A federally\nmandated 'guideline' on land use that might apply to a non-urban state\nmay not apply to a complex state like California that has highly\nurbanized as well as non-urban, resource-oriented areas.\n\"In California we are taking steps to develop a mechanism which\nwill provide for the establishment of statewide environmental, social\nand economic objectives. This mechanism is attainable at the state\nlevel by coordination of functional planning, resolution of local\njurisdictional conflicts while preserving local authority and respecting\nprivate property rights.\n\"The federal government should recognize California's leadership in\nthis field and work to insure that state and local as well as national\nenvironmental goals are balanced with economic and social goals. In\nreferring to the pending national land use legislation in his State of\nthe Union speech in January of this year, President Nixon stated: 'This\nlegislation would reaffirm that the basic responsibility for land use\ndecisions rests with state and localities, and would provide funds to\nencourage them to meet their responsibility.'\n-1-\n#266\n\"HR 10294 does not meet this objective. We believe that the states\nand localities must develop a balanced approach to land use needs and\nmaintain a process in order to conserve limited resources. We believe\nit is impossible to centralize land use decision making at the federal\nlevel without: (1) establishing an arbitrary bureaucratic machinery\nthat would almost guarantee administrative chaos, or (2) seriously\ninfringing on the constitutionally guaranteed concept of private\nownership of property; it appears to us that the legislative approach\ncontained in these measures would inevitably raise such constitutional\nissues.\n\"A year ago, in outlining principles to be used on guidelines for\nland use legislation in California, I stated that California would be\npleased to implement sound legislation, but HR 10294 as written does\nnot meet our criteria. While we appreciate the interest in establishing\na federal land use policy, such a policy should not require a federal\ninfringement into an area of responsibility reserved to the states and\nlocalities.\n\"Ronald Reagan.

Accompanying Governor Reagan and Senator\nCollier will be representatives of the County Supervisors\nAssociation, the League of California Cities, the California\nTaxpayers Association, and the State Chamber of Commerce.\nPurpose of the news conference concerns introduction of major\nlegislation in the field of public employe-employer relations.\n# # #\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RC..ALD REAGAN\nRELEA.\nImmediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n9160445-4571\n4-29-74\n#267\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:\n\"I want to emphasize that the energy shortage is still with\nus. Increased oil imports are reducing its severity but not eliminating\nthe basic problem. Demand has simply outgrown our ability to supply\nand process energy.\n\"Petroleum refining capacity has not yet caught up with the\nsignificant new demand for fuel oil created by the need to replace our\ndrastically reduced natural gas supplies. Where 50 percent of our\nelectricity was generated by natural gas and only seven percent by\nfuel oil just a short time ago, those percentages have now very nearly\nreversed.\n\"This means that less oil can be made into gasoline.\nCalifornians must continue to observe the 55 mile per hour speed limit\nand to eliminate unnecessary driving. It also means that we must\ncontinue to conserve natural gas and electricity in our homes, shops\nand factories. The less natural gas and electricity we use as consumers\nthe less oil the utilities will have to burn to generate electricity.\n\"California has been fortunate in that this past winter was\nwarm and wet. Hydroelectric generation has been very high and we needed\nto burn less oil than expected in the generation of electricity. We\ncan't count on that happening again next winter. The utilities will\nneed all the oil they can store going into next winter to assure an\nadequate supply of electricity.\n\"I therefore urge all Californians to keep up their energy\nconservation efforts. There will be enough gasoline, electricity,\nand natural gas for everyone's needs but only if we use them carefully\nand wisely.\"\n# # #\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n4-30-74\n#268\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the resignation of\nRudy C.
