Nixon The White House Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. President: California has been accelerating its efforts in environ- mental protection. We now have an Environmental Quality Council that is actively working on the state level to fulfill similar objectives to those assigned to your cabinet level council. Our State Water Resources Control Board has been recently advised of the approval of our 32 stream water quality policies and now we have a truly comprehensive set of water quality goals. But they are just goals and not realities. Only increased expenditures for waste treatment facilities will achieve them. Federal appropriations in recent years have been far behind earlier projections. To preserve the concept of local control and at the same time build the necessary facilities, the federal government should underwrite a portion of local obligations for the construction of waste treatment facilities. This concept is contained in several bills before Congress. We urge you to give direct and immediate support to this concept which appears to offer in principle and in practice the only way to provide the clean waters the people of our Nation are demanding.

R. HALDEMAN In the attached memorandum, Harry Dent recommends that the President call Governor Reagan to invite him to acdept the deed to the Old Mint Building which is being turned over to San Francisco State College. There are several points of primary importance which I do not think are brought out strongly enough in Dent's memorandum. These points are: 1. The main reason for the phone call is to request Governor Ronald Reagan to personally accept, or designate some individual to represent him in accepting, the deed to the Old Mint Building in San Francisco. 2. Senator Murphy has already been contacted by Dale Grubb and has agreed to personally represent the President in turning the deed over to the State of California. 3. There is one discrepancy in Harry Dent's memo in that San Francisco State College intends to use the Old Mint Building to establish an urban university center ---- not an urban affairs school.

For the President Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library EXECUTIVE in 5:00 RA5 ST5 4423 em May 7, 1969 MEMORANDUM FOR THE STAFF SECRETARY SUBJECT: Old Mint Building, San Francisco George I believe this could be a good story, particularly in the Far West. I would suggest that transfer be announced by having a letter from the President describing the Mint and his interest in urban colleges be sent to either Senator Murphy or to Governor Reagon, Ronald This, then, could be announced by either of them with a press conference in San Francisco. It would be advantageous to have Bob Finch participate in that press conference as representative of the President. The advantage of doing this through Reagen would be that it would heal some of the wounds which have developed between the Administration and the Governor. The advantage of doing it through Murphy would be to help in giving a boost to his campaign for reaction. An alternative would be to arrange a three-way press conference with Finch, Reagan and Murphy. I believe a story on this should be prepared here before then and issued by Ron Ziegler at about the time of the California press conference. It would be advantageous if he had pictures available at that time.

Nixon President of the United States The White House Washington 25, D.C. My dear Mr. President: The current flooding of the Sacramento River points up the urgency to increase the 1969-70 budget item for the Sacramento River Bank Protection Project from $2,000,000 to $3,500,000. This project protects an area of over one million acres, with an assessed valuation of over $3,200,000,000 and a population of about 725,000. The levee system itself repre- sents an investment by all concerned of over $200,000,000, and the operation of the entire Sacramento Valley flood con- trol system is predicated on an adequately functioning levee system. The amount of damages prevented by this system over the years amounts to several hundred million dollars. 120,000 lineal feet of bank protection work, representing a total cost of about $10,000,000, are designated and ready to be constructed as soon as federal funds are available. Both the state's and the Corps of Engineers' efforts are geared to accommodate at least a $3,500,000 annual federal appropriation. The limited availability of federal funds over the past two years has reduced construction work to a level which does not even keep pace with new erosion, and the present flood condition in California will accelerate the already critical deterioration of these levees. The flooding of Sherman Island typifies the costly disaster being courted by delay. RECEIVED 6 1950 LAL FILES Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library EXECUTIVE January 30, 1969 NR7-1 MEMORANDUM FOR BRYCE HARLOW FROM: Dale Grubb Subject: Congressman Don Clausen - on Flood Control Congressman Clausen advised me again today regarding flood control that the Democrats in California are apparently picking up the ball and running with it and trying to embarrass Governor Reagan and ultimately the Administration. Ronald He advised that Congressman John Tunney is one who is trying to take advantage of the didaster there and is strongly proposing flood control. Clausen had just spoken with John Ahlers, AA to Senator Murphy, and they both feel that Tunney is using lack of flood control as a way to buildup brownie points in the State to run against Murphy two hears hence. Congressman Clausen feels that this is a political decision that must be made but using excellent economic benefits in the long run. He feels that the President, Governor Reagan, Senator Murphy as well as himself could benefit by monies being set aside for flood control. He plans to call Tom Cole in this connection.

Among other things, a one-minute phone call can take the place of a half- hour face-to-face meeting and further allows for more control of the subject to be discussed. Consequently, we should reinstitute and reinforce our system for recommending and implementing Presidential phone calls. Proposal Each day a folder will be prepared containing suggestions for Presidential telephone calls. Each telephone request will be submitted on a separate sheet of paper and will be in the format exemplified by the attached. The suggested call sheets will be received by the Appointments office, specifically by me. A maximum of 5 telephone calls will be included in the folder each day. Where more than 5 suggested calls have been received, a determination will be made by the Appointments Secretary of which 5 should be included in the folder. Additionally, the calls that are placed in the folder will be stacked in a suggested order of priority. The entire folder will be submitted to the Staff Secretary. who will then review and screen the suggested calls. If, in the judgment of the Staff Secretary, there is a reason why a call should not be made, the suggested call sheet will be removed from the folder until the objection is satisfied. If acceptable, the folder will be forwarded to Mr. H. R. Haldeman just like any other Presidential material for final review before submission to the President.

Dear Dick, I want you to know that I greatly appreciated your personal note in response to my recent letter. -filed Eye: to - 9/16/69 I am sure you have been aware of the outstanding successful year long "200th Anniversary Celebration" of San Diego's found- ing. Among the most significant events was the recent visit of two Portugese frigates under the command of Vice Admiral Armando de Roboredo, Chief of Staff, Portugese Navy. This outstanding senior naval officer was a tremendous "hit" in the various events in San Diego in which he took part. Not the least of his contributions was a tremendous address that he gave at the closing banquet. I was so impressed that I asked his aide-de- camp, Commander Vasco A. M. Rodrigues, Naval Attache, Embassy of Portugal, to get me a copy of his address. I enclose a photo copy to you and I thought you would especially like his opening tribute to the significance of the Americans' success in the first landing on the Moon. I might add that the whole world was thrilled with your part in speaking to the Astronauts and welcoming them back aboard the carrier in mid Pacific. I understand that our Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, and Admiral Roboredo are very good friends.

This being the case, I suggest we continue looking for our first choice for the job of Deputy Di ector of the Budget. If we do not find this man by January 1, the earliest date that Weinberger could come to Washington in any event, we can then consider putting Weinberger in this job and delaying on the appointment of a new Chairman for the FTC.

X Gordon Brownell of my staff accompanied Governor Reagan X on his campaign visit to Norfolk in support of Lin Holton. He reports the Governor specifically praised the President's welfare reform package, his fight against inflation, and his efforts to bring about an honorable peace in Vietnam. Brownell described the Governor's remarks as being "as strong and eloquent an endorsement of the President's policies as one could ask". Also, the Governor spoke to all of our political coordinators and political personnel chiefs in the Administration prior to departing for Virginia. He did an excellent job and again gave strong support to the President. He pushed hard on the point of putting in loyalists in all non-career positions. We had more than 100 in attendance. In a private conversation with the Governor, he only expressed concern about two points. What is going to happen on Vietnam, and who is going to succeed Dr. Burns. Some of the speculation on both points has him concerned. If the President wants a letter written or any action taken, I will coordinate this through Keogh's office. Harry S.

Nixon President of the United States The White House Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. President: This week I learned that the foreign fishery attache post at our Embassy in Mexico is scheduled to be transferred to Washington, D.C. I recognize that this is prompted by budgetary considerations and the decision of our national government to cut back the number of Americans serving in foreign posts. However, the Mexico City fishery attache office has been extremely helpful to us in developing our fishery research and management programs involving fish stocks common to both the United States and Mexico. It is of equal importance to the California-based fishing industry, both commercial and sport. Conservation of our marine resources requires that we make every effort to work closely with Mexican officials as the resources do not recognize international boundaries. The Mexican office is of equal importance to the Gulf states whose shrimp vessels operate extensively off Mexico. These fisheries provide an important dollar input to the Gulf and California economies, for shrimp and tuna comprise our two largest and most viable distant-water fisheries. We feel that the transfer of the position to Washington would destroy its usefulness, for it is only by having a man on the scene that we can expect to obtain the information and guidance that we need. Last month I requested the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission to do what they could to maintain the fishery attache office.

We are making continuing efforts to engage the other side meaningfully on this subject and we deeply regret Hanoi's refusal to respond constructively so far. The President and I join in your hopes and prayers for the early release of your husband. Sincerely, O John H. Holdridge X (Paula S. X woods) Mrs. Brian D.

Aspinall U. S. House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. 20515 Dear Congressman Aspinall: Subject: Point Reyes National Seashore My Administration strongly supports the completion of the Point Reyes National Seashore Project. I recognize that under the existing funding availability that this is exceedingly difficult. C I understand that you are convening a meeting on this subject to seek ways and means to resolve this extremely important conser- vation issue. During the 1968 Congress, my Administration became deeply involved in the support of a viable Land and Water Conservation Fund. As you will recall, I went on record in favor of establishing the dollar level of that fund which was ultimately reflected in the bill as signed by the President. To my knowledge, all of our dele- gation wont on record in support of this position.. P My Secretary for Resources, Norman Livermore, was in daily communi- cation with members of the Administration and our Congressional Delegation in exhausting all avenues to achieve that end. I sin- cerely feel that the Land and Water Conservation Fund should be provided the resources to the maximum extent of the law. Should this be done, I believe the latitude would be available for your Y committee to provide the funds necessary to consummate the Point Reyes National Seashore Project. I am conveying this message to President Nixon and I am urging him to lend his support to this philosophy.

C. My dear Mr. president: One of California's most pressing current conservation park issues is the completion of the Point Reyes National Seashore Project. The project when approved by Congress was considerably under- funded. Extreme pressures are being brought to bear on land- owners whose lands are within the "talking" boundarięs to sell those lands for conversion to subdivisions. This would be a serious encroachment on the potential integrity of this magni- ficent National Seashore project. Last year, I gave the full support of my office to the amend- ments to the Land and Water Conservation Fund which authorized $200 million for accrual each year for five years to the Fund from Federal offshore oil leases. There were considerable efforts to seek California's support for the diversion of those funds for other uses; however, I felt that the use of these offshore revenues to assist local government in completing needed park projects and the States and Federal Government in completing projects in the respective states and national inter- ests was the most desirable use of revenues from this national natural non-renewable resource. I encouraged and received full support of our California delegation vital to the passage of these amendments.

Deasy is currently the State of California OEO Director and is highly competent. There are already some pretty bad feelings in this area because of the recent elevation of the Democrat incumbent (Maldinato) to higher responsibilities in Washington. We understand that Mr. Rumsfeld does not favor the appointment of Mr. Deasy. Governor Reagan has already discussed this subject with Governor Boe in the strongest terms, and we fear that this will become a subject of confrontation between these three Republican Governors and the Vice President at the Republican Governors Conference three weeks hence.

Nixon The White House Washington, D. C. 20500 My dear Mr. President: Y As reported to you by Governor John A. Love, California has complied with your request for concerted and cooperative action in the nation's fight against inflation. Our Public Works department alone deferred $125 million in construction which, according to the Office of Administration, Federal Highway Administration, will mean a $250 million eventual impact on highway construction in this state. In our Water department, as well as in higher education, other projects have been deferred due to bond interest rate problems now facing this state. We are most anxious, however, to evaluate the economic effect of other Federal cutbacks in California. We have not been able to obtain a total picture from the Bureau of the Budget on this situation. As John said in his November 5 letter to you: "We also hope that the voluntary partnership effort, as contrasted with a mandatory dictate by the federal government, will henceforth become the foundation on which more effective federalism can be constructed and preserved." California took the lead in this vital need and will cooperate to the fullest extent but we both must be kept fully informed of the impact on our states so future decisions can be based on this information.

Nixon The White House Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. President: California has undertaken a major health planning program in response to federal and state legislation enacted in 1966 and 1967, P.L. 89-749 and P.L. 90-174. Under this program, we are making every effort to assure the citizens of our state that available resources be used in the most efficient manner to assure the highest level of health attainable in an environ- ment which contributes positively to healthful individual and family living. We have achieved to a great degree the marshaling of our state's health resources to assure comprehensive health services of high quality for all Californians. One of the main objectives of the comprehensive health planning activities, and funding at the local county, area-wide, and state levels, is to assure that the health planning activities and funding of health programs and projects are consistent with the needs of our citizens. To date, however, the federal government, in allocating funds to specific health projects and programs, has not adequately coordinated with the state. In fact, federal funding is still based on federal priorities, which do not take into consider- ation the priorities established by state and local agencies to meet the health needs of our citizens. If tax monies are to be used in an effective and efficient manner to achieve health planning objectives and goals, it is important that the federal government be responsive to the recommendations of concerned and interested individuals and groups residing where the projects or programs will be conducted.

Cowen Ronald This is in response to your memo of December 9 about the telegram from Governor Reagan on air travel tax exemption for state and local governments. The Department of Transportation tells me that the Administration's bill contained the air travel tax exemption for state and local govern- ments, but it was stricken by Wilbur Mills. It carried in that manner through the House and through the Senate Commerce Committee. The legislation is now before the full Senate as the Aviation Facilities and Expansion Act of 1969. There is not expected to be any action on that or any other measure for the remainder of this session of Congress because the Congress is attempting to complete action only on the appropriation bills. But DOT said it would be happy to make a request for this to be restored, so that we may so indicate to Governor Reagan. Attached is a draft letter that you may want to use for the response. # Attachment EXECUTIVE me 17 December 22, 1969 Dear Ron: Enclosed are transcripts of several presentations made by Administration speakers at the December 3 Governors Conference on drug abuse.

If he would come a little earlier to the National Governors' Conference at Colorado Springs on September 1, we could have a private conference with the Republican Governors in the afternoon, and then it would not be necessary to go to Arkansas in December. Of course, it may not be necessary Ronald to go to Arkansas at all, but Governor x Reagan and the other Governors are most anxious to have a good session with the President, as we had when six of them were here for the Executive Committee dinner at the White House. I strongly urge this because I think it does the President so much good, but more than that it is the best tonic we can give the Governors. Governor Reagan would set up a meeting in Colorado Springs and we can have the President drop by for about one or one and one-half hours of discussion. Please let me know something on this soon so that we can make the necessary plans, if it can be done.

My dear Mr. President: I note that a nationwide public service campaign on drug abuse will be launched by the Advertising Council at the request of the White House and the Departments of Defense, Justice and Health, Education and Welfare. I want to offer my best wishes for the success of the program. Those of us who are concerned with dangerous drugs in California have taken a "total approach" toward helping to solve the pressing problem of drug abuse. My office is working with the California PTA to encourage formation of drug abuse committees in high schools and junior high schools. An inter-agency council, sponsored by the Cal- ifornia Medical Association, that includes government and private agencies concerned with the problem, has been formed to develop solutions. Another aspect of the approach to this serious problem is a public education program which started in June. Grey Adver- tising, of San Francisco, is the volunteer agency, working in cooperation with my office and the California Medical Association. Enclosed is a package that includes the first television and radio spots, and newspaper advertisements produced by the agency, and a news release announcing the campaign, which was released in May of this year. I thought you would be inter- ested in our experience here in California. The program has been in the developmental stages since last fall. One of the first things we did was to receive commit- ments of support from the major media organizations. Then a fund-raising program was begun to cover agency expenses and other conts. About two-thirds of the $50,000 budget set by the agency has been collected, with the pharmaceutical industry donating most of the total; the remainder has been contributed JACK wEbb RECEIVED x AUG1 S 1969 CENTRAL FILES Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library gala/ 4 EXECUTIVE THE WHITE house DI5/ST5 WASHINGTON ST 5 August 13, 1969 76 6-8 MEMORANDUM FOR THE FILES fonald Regarding General Lincoln S recommendation to the President that be announce a disaster declaration for California when he appears with Governor Reagan.

For the President Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library GENERAL FG6-12 August 1, 1969 Dear Governor Reagan: I apologize for the long delay in responding to your cordial letter of July 15, but I was off trying to grab a few days of vacation. I am flattered by your gracious invitation to speak at the proposed conference in November on preserving and enhancing California's environment. Of course this is an important subject, and I would have been pleased indeed to have been able to accept. Unfortunately, I have found in the past few months that I have less and less time to travel and speak, much less to prepare anything worth saying. Furthermore, I have found that it is usually a mistake for me to promise to be out of Washington on any specific day, as I all too often have had to cancel at the last moment, because of some situation that arises here that requires my attention. I'm sure that you understand my situation, and I hope that you will accept my genuine regret at being unable to accept your invitation. Please also accept my thanks and my very warmest best wishes for a successful conference. Finally, if you think it would be helpful, I would be happy to ask one of my staff members here at the Urban Affairs Council to attend the conference in November, in my stead. I don't envision him coming as speaker, but as an interested observer or participant. If that suits your plans, please let me know and I will see what I can arrange. Sincerely, Daniel P.

EXECUTIVE A THE WHITE HOUSE PLY WASHINGTON PR15 15 July 9, 1969 PE2 761 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT STS X Y Ronald Tom Reed, Governor Reagan's close associate, is now working with me for the next two months. I am convinced he is here to be helpful and for the purpose of broadening his base. He has explained to me he is not here as Reagan's man but as Tom Reed. I recognize the sensitive nature of this relationship. He is already being most helpful to me in organizing our patronage setup with the National Committee for handling appointments to boards and commis- sions from Departments, agencies, and those of a Presidential nature. However, he will have nothing to do with the appointments as such. He has furnished me with the results of a poll taken during the period June 16-18 in California. The poll shows these results on rating the President on his job to date: Excellent 23% Good 43% Fair 25% Poor 4% Undecided 4% He concludes by noting this is an excellent job rating, showing a similar rating for Governor Reagan and that the Governor should win reelection over any probable opponent by three to one. He has addi- tional information in detail and I am requesting this. your S Ded Harry S. Dent Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library of EF THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN.
