Most of the $17.4 million\nwas added by the conference committee without public hearings.\n\"The legislature failed to meet the constitutional deadline of having\nthe budget on the governor's desk by June 15,\" he said. \"In fact, the\nbudget did not reach my desk until June 28, leaving only 48 hours to\nexamine literally hundreds of augmentations made by the legislature, many\n£ them made at the last moment in the free conference and, again, without\npublic hearings. There was simply inadequate time to establish the need\nfor such a substantial increase in spending.\"\nThe amount of the augmentation has not been finalized but the governor\ngave assurance that it would be not less than $10 million. This amount\nwas developed by representatives of the Departments of Health and Finance\nas the probable amount needed to maintain programs at their current level\nand to fund inflationary costs.\n# # #\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n8-6-74\n#442\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:\n\"As you know, I have done my best to follow the progress of\nthe Watergate investigation.

SATURDAY,\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\nAUGUST 10)\n916-445-4571\n8-9-74\n#446\nGovernor Ronald Reagan labeled the federal food stamp program\n\"the newest nesting place for welfare abuse and fraud\" in a Saturday\nnight speech at the Young Republicans National Federation banquet in\nStateline, Nevada.\nCalling food stamps \"a multi-billion dollar administrative\nnightmare\" and a \"staggering financial burden at the federal level,\"\nthe California governor offered examples of a plan of action underway\nin his state to recommend to the federal government a list of more than\n50 ways reform can be achieved in both the food stamp and Aid to Families\nWith Dependent Children (AFDC) programs.\nAlong with the report, Governor Reagan said, will come a strong\nrecommendation for immediate action in Washington. He did not indicate\nwhen the proposed reforms would be presented in the nation's capital.\nThe governor said many abuses and outright fraud in the food\nstamp program can be eliminated by federal action that would:\n--Tighten up eligibility requirements. \"Government--alone--is\nthe cause of inflation. We must eliminate every area of waste and\nduplication.\"\n--Establish reasonable regulations to ensure that only those who\nreally need the stamps could get them. \"Many taxpayers find it difficult\nto understand why a seemingly able-bodied and otherwise self-supporting\nindividual can walk up to the grocery counter with a basket full of prime\nT-bone steaks and lay out free food stamps--while they (the taxpayers)\nare buying hamburger for their own dinners with hard-earned cash they\nhave left after paying taxes to cover the cost of those food stamps.\" \"\n--Set a minimum age for persons to receive stamps. \"A 17-year-\nold student no longer desiring to live with his parents moved out and\nstays with a group of friends. He receives $46 a month in free food\nstamps and five others in the same household are also drawing free stamps.\"\nThe forthcoming recommendations, Governor Reagan said, would, in\nsome cases, require changes in state laws.\n-1-\n#446\nThe governor agreed with U. S. Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz,\nwho has said the administration of food stamps should be transferred\nfrom Agriculture to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.\nCalifornia alone would realize a savings of $31 million a year\nin its costs, the governor said, through tighter administration and\ncloser coordination of the program.\nWhen the Federal Food Stamp Act of 1964 was passed following a\nsmall pilot project during the Kennedy Administration, the governor said,\nthere were about 367,000 recipients and the cost was $26 million. By\nnext year, he said, the comparable statistics will be 16 million recipients\nand $3 billion in costs.\nIn California, said Governor Reagan, taxpayers are contributing at\nleast $316 million this year toward the purchase of $630 million in food\nstamps. And, he added, the administrative costs in his state have\nreached almost $100 million.\n# # #\n-2-\nMcKelvey\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n8-9-74\n#447\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nAugust 12, 1974\nthrough\nAugust 18, 1974\nMonday, August 12\nNo public appointments scheduled\nTuesday, August 13\nNo public appointments scheduled\nWednesday, August 14\nNoon\nFlournoy Luncheon, Los Angeles Club\nThursday, August 15\n6:30 p.m.\nOrange County Fundraiser, Disneyland Hotel,\nAnaheim\nFriday, August 16\nNoon\nRiverside County State Central Committee\nFundraiser, 6166 Brockton, Riverside\n6:30 p.m.\nFundraiser for Sumner Offill, 58th Assembly\nDistrict Candidate, 3772 Parkview Drive,\nLakewood (near Long Beach)\nSaturday, August 17\nNo appointments scheduled\nSunday, August 18\nNo appointments scheduled\n# # #\nWalthall\nFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD R GAN\nRELEASE:\nmmediate\nacramento, California 9581\nlyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n16-445-4571\n8-9-74\n#448\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced he has vetoed the following bills:\nSB 1633 (Zenovich)\nEnects the Zenovich-Chacon California Housing Finance\nAct providing for the creation of a 13-member\nCalifornia Housing Finance Corporation.\nIt designates the corporation as the sole state\nagency to receive and allocate federal assistance for\nsubsidizing housing for persons and families of low\nor moderate income.\nThe bill authorizes the corporation to make loans,\nthrough specified intermediaries and intermediary\ndevices, or to qualified mortgage lenders for housing\ndevelopments.\nThe bill further provides that its provisions shall\nbecome operative January 1, 1975, only if the Housing\nFinance Bond Law of 1974 is approved by the voters\nat the November 1974 election.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\" SB 1633 would create a California Housing Finance Corporation. This\nquasi-public corporation would have vast powers and would be author-\nized to make loans for housing purposes through private lending\ninstitutions. Funds for the loans would come from the sale of State\ngeneral obligation bonds.\n80\nThough I recognize the need for increased housing--especially for low\nand middle-income Californians--this bill has serious defects and\nwould substantially alter the State's fiscal policies.\n\"California is one of only 14 states which have the highest possible\nbond credit rating: AAA. One reason for this, according to Moody's\nInvestor Service Credit Report, is that \"The State does not use its\ncredit to back agency obligations\". This policy would change with the\ncreation of this new agency and the State's credit rating would be\nplaced in jeopardy. In fact, based on the amount of California bonds\noutstanding, the drop in rating, could cost the taxpayers as much as\n$100 million in added interest.\n\" There are other substantive reasons for not signing this bill.\nThere is strong doubt this measure would benefit those who need relief\nthe most--low-income Californians. Our estimates indicate that appli-\ncants with incomes of $11,000-$16,000 (the highest among those eligible)\nwould receive all but a tiny percentage of the loans.\nIt would grant relief to big business and financial institutions--bv\nshifting lending risks to the State--at the expense of all citizens of\nCalifornia.\n\"With the full faith and credit of the State insuring their loans, finan-\ncial institutions could conceivably become more interested in volume\nthan quality of loans, thus exposing the State to a serious problem of\ndefaults, foreclosures, and abandoned houses.\n#488\n\"In mortgage lending, inancial institutions ord arily compete in an\narena of comparable economic objectives, without political objectives.\nThere are not adequate safeguards in this bill to insure against unfair\ncompetition from a government institution with possible political\nobjectives.\n\"The bill permits the Corporation to make direct loans to housing sponsors;\nin fact to make it possible for all loan money to be awarded solely to\nlocal public entities. Allowing for loans to non-profit housing sponsors\nto be made at 100 percent amounts to supplying such sponsors with direct\nState grants.\n\"The only provision for an audit of the Corporation is to verify its\nassets and liabilities. It should require a comprehensive periodic audit\nof program effectiveness; a management. tool essential in government\ntoday.\n\"It does not containstrong enough protection against conflict of interest.\n\"The new agency or government created would be independent of and\nunresponsive to both the legislative and executive branches, thus lacking\nthe necessary limitations and controls essential to good government.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nSB 1634 - Zenovich\nEnacts the Housing Finance Bond Law of 1974. It\nprovides for the issuance of up to $500 million\nin general obligation bonds if the voters approve\nthe bond issue at the November election.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"I am returning without my signature Senate Bill No. 1634 entitled,\n\"An act to add Part 3 (commencing with Section 41250) to Division\n31 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to housing, and providing\nfor the preparation, issuance, and sale of state bonds to create a\nfund to be used by the California Housing Finance Corporation to\nmake loans for financing housing developments primarily benefiting\npersons and families of low or moderate income, and providing for\nthe submission of the measure to the people at a special election\nto be consolidated with the 1974 general election, to take effect\nimmediately.\n\" Nothing useful would be accomplished by approving this measure.\nBy its terms the bill does not become operative unless either SB 1633\nor AB 2966 of the 1973-74 Regular Session of the Legislature or both\nare enacted creating in state government a California Housing Finance\nCorporation. I have already vetoed SB 1633. The virtually identical\nAssembly Bill is still before the Legislature.\n\" Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\n#####\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n8-12-74\n#449\nFollowing is the Friday text of Governor and Mrs. Ronald\nReagan's congratulatory telegram to President Gerald R.

The original bill called for the first Tuesday as election\nday. The conferees agreed instead on the second Tuesday, to facilitate\ncollege student voting.\n--AB 4262 (McLennan), to limit campaign contributions to those\nfrom individuals only. Current law allows labor unions and corporations\nto contribute directly to political campaigns. This proposal would\nprohibit such donations, however, amendments agreed to would permit\nvoluntary contributions by individuals in organizations.\n--AB 4291 (Russell), would require the legislative analyst to\nconfer with reading experts in the preparation of ballot measure\nanalyses. To accomplish this, the conferees agreed that an amendment\nto Section 88003 of Proposition Nine would be developed.\n--AB 4301 (Badham) would prohibit political activities of public\nemployees during working hours. It was agreed that amendments to\nthe bill would assign enforcement responsibilities to the new Fair\nCampaign Practices Commission (FCPC); ; would clarify the status of\nstudent volunteers working on campaigns for course credit; and would\nspecify penalties for violations of the bill's provisions.\n- 1 -\n#468\nAB 4258 (Antonovich) would have prohibited judges from\nmaking or arranging for campaign contributions with funds other\nthan their own.

The conferees agreed to study further\na People's Lobby suggestion that some public services be made\navailable to bona fide candidates (for example, office space and\nfree printing of candidates qualifications on ballots).\nOther subjects which will be further discussed by the conferees\nare People's Lobby proposals that the law should be changed to\nrequire office holders to resign their positions when seeking election\nto another office and caretaker appointments in case of vacancies in\nelected positions, and that California's initiative process be\nadopted for nationwide use.\nHe added that telephone conversations and correspondence with\nCommon Cause had resulted in that group's California Board advising\nhim of its support of the objectives of two of the reform bills,\nAB 4301 and 4262.\nGovernor Reagan said a letter has been sent to California\nCitizen Action Group (the Ralph Nader political action organization)\nrequesting their support of the election reform proposals.\n\"Election reform still has a high priority in this administration.\nThe legislature still has ample time to act on the above measures.\nI would hope the members of the legislature would accomplish this\njob before they adjourn at the end of the month,\" the governor concluded.\n#\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RC ALD REAGAN\nRELEASE\nImmediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n8-16-74\n#469\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointments of\nRoy L.

The people\nwere offered a planned Utopia, the culmination of 40 years effort by\nthose who would redefine our national purpose. This involved confisca-\ntion and redistribution of earnings on a scale never before attempted,\nto be administered through centralized planning of the economy and\ndomination of our private lives. The voters rejected this invitation\nto Utopia and reaffirmed the basic values on which our system has been\nbuilt. They voted for fiscal responsibility and a determination of\ntheir own individual destinies. If you had to label it, you would\nsay America voted to be conservative, not liberal.\n\"They repudiated the idea that government should grow bigger and\nbigger; that we should have deficit spending and higher and higher\ntaxes; that we should embrace more costly programs to alleviate human\nmisery programs which somehow never succeed no matter how much money\nis spent on them.\"\nHe said, \"The mandate of 1972 was a matter of The People versus\nBig Government what Cicero called 'the arrogance of officialdom.\"\nReagan urged voters to question the 1974 candidates sharply.\n\"Many may pay lip service to reducing government's size and pervasive\ninfluence, but pin them down as to their stand on specific issues.\"\nHe cited the recently defeated land use bill as an example. \"It will\nsurface again, wearing the respectable label of 'environmental\nprotection.' In fact, it is a threat to the basic concept of private\nownership of property.\"\n-1-\n#488\nAbout the Consumer Protection Agency Act, which has passed the\nHOMES in being del\nsenate, Reagan Said it would.\npermit the administrator of the new agency to have virtually unlimited\nauthority to challenge existing regulatory agencies and to set standards\nfor everything produced and sold.\nAlthough compulsory national health insurance appears dead for\nthis session of Congress, Reagan questioned the need for it at all.\n\"We have a right to ask if anyone has established whether this is\ntruly needed,\" he said. He called for finding ways \"to cover the\napproximately five to 10 percent of our people not now covered by\nprivate or public health programs, and to open a national dialogue on\ninsurance which would cover catstrophic illness.\"\nOf inflation, Reagan said that sharp cuts in government spending\nare necessary without delay, and that attempts to fight inflation by\nraising taxes are \"like giving a drunk another drink to sober him up.\"\n# # #\n-2-\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n8-26-74\n#489\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today reappointed Dr. John P.

State party conventions serve a genuine purpose.\nThey array each party's candidates, as a ticket,\nin a public forum and they present for the voters'\nconsideration the platform of issues on which the\nparty's candidates run for office. It would have\ndeprived the candidates of the Democratic Party\nof a platform on which to campaign and it would\nhave deprived the voters of knowing the party's\nstand on issues, for it would have moved the date\nof the party's convention from August to next\nJanuary. The problem would have reoccurred sub-\nsequently in each general election year.\n2. The bill would have made the Democratic Party\nthe only one to hold its convention and adopt its\nplatform after the election.\n3. The bill was hastily and tardily conceived in\norder to cover the embarrassment of the chairman\nof the Democratic Party, who violated the Elections\nCode by failing to notify the Secretary of State by\nJuly 1, 1974 of the date of his party's convention,\nprescribed by law to take place in August. The\nSecretary of State ignored the violation until it\nwas brought to his attention by the news media.\nThen, rather than enforce the law, he and the party\nchairman sought to change it.\n4. The bill was passed as an urgency measure.\nThis is an inappropriate and spurious use of the\nurgency clause, for the bill was not, in fact,\n\"necessary for the immediate preservation of the\npublic peace, health or safety\" of the state or\nits people.\nAccordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\n#####\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR ..ONALD REAGAN\nRELE.
