IS\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced formation of a six-man\nWater Resources Task Force to undertake a comprehensive review of the\nfinancing and construction progress of the State Water Project.\n\"We are near the half-way mark in terms of construction of the\nproject,\" the governor said, \"and it is time to evaluate exactly where\nthe State Water Project stands from a financial and construction\nstandpoint.\n\"I want to make it absolutely clear, however, that there is no\nquestion in my mind as to the basic integrity and soundness of the\nproject and its financing.\n\"What I am asking these six men to do, in cooperation with\nWilliam R. Gianelli, director of the Department of Water Resources, is\nto conduct a midpoint review of the project,\" the governor said.\nReagan asked the Task Force to complete its assignment within\n60 days. Conclusions reached by the committee will be used by the\ngovernor and Gianelli as guidelines in pushing the State Water Project\nto a successful completion.\nBy requiring an early report from the committee \"we will be able\nto consider any necessary legislation which might be required,\" the\ngovernor said.\nStaff personnel and information from the Department of Water\nResources will be made available to the Task Force, which may also seek\noutside assistance if necessary in preparing its report.\nGianelli noted that the Burns-Porter Act ratified by California\nvoters in 1960 contemplated construction of certain state water\nfacilities at price levels of the late 1950s.\n-1-\n#5\nAt this time it is not certain whether revenue bonds used to\nfinance the project will be adequate to meet construction costs which\nhave increased since passage of the Burns-Porter Act, he said.\nGianelli also pointed out that the water needs of California have\nchanged since 1960 because of the adverse decision of the U.S. Supreme\nCourt concerning the allocation of Colorado River water supplies.\nConstruction of new projects by the federal government and\nlocal agencies, and changing patterns of water requirements, have also\naffected the state's water needs, he said.\nAs a result, Gianelli added, special attention should be given\nto determining whether the Burns-Porter Act will meet the water needs\nof California or whether the project should be modified to reflect any\nchanged conditions.\nAt the same time, the water resources director said, engineering\nand related problems should be carefully examined to see if the State\nWater Project will be able to meet its timetable. This includes\ndelivery of agricultural water in Kern County next year and delivery\nof water south of the Tehachapi Mountains in 1971 and 1972.\nChairman of the Task Force will be Clair A. Hill, a widely-\nknown water engineer from Redding. Others on the committee are\nHarvey O. Banks of San Francisco, former director of the Water Resources\nDepartment under Goodwin Knight; M. J. Shelton, vice president of the\nLa Mesa engineering firm of Koebig and Koebig; Samuel Nelson, chief\nengineer of the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power; Gerald Jones,\na Sacramento consulting engineer; and Don M. Davis of Stone & Youngberg,\nSan Francisco financial and investment firm.\n# # #\n-2-\nPRESS RELEA - PB - #6\nGovernor Ro. ld Reagan\nJanuary 11 1967\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nNorman B.

He has had a long association with the\nSierra Club and has a first-hand interest in the outdoors. In\naddition, Mr. Livermore is extremely knowledgeable about the lumbering\nindustry.\n\"This broad range of experience will be of great assistance in\nhelping formulate plans and programs to preserve and protect\nCalifornia's tremendous resources,\" the governor said.\nLivermore is the third agency administrator to be named by the\ngovernor. Under proposals still under consideration for reorganiza-\ntion of the executive branch, Livermore will eventually join with two\nother key executives in health and welfare and transportation, working\ndirectly out of the governor's office. The post pays $27,500 yearly.\nA fourth generation Californian and a Republican, Livermore is\nmarried to the former Virginia Pennoyer. They have five children.\n-1-\n#6\nLivermore graduated with a bachelor of arts degree from\nStanford University in 1933 where he was president of the Inter-\nfraternity Council and captain of the varsity baseball team. He\nattended Harvard Graduate School of Business in 1933-34 and received\na MBA degree from Stanford in 1936.\nDuring the summers between 1937 and 1942 he operated a pack\ntrain for outings of the Sierra Club. During the winters, he served\nas a junior accountant with Price Waterhouse & Co. in San Francisco\nand London and as an investment counsellor.\nLivermore served in air intelligence with the U.S. Navy from\n1942 to 1945, taking part in amphibious landings in Sicily, Palua,\nOkinawa and Iwo Jima. He holds the rank of Lt. Cmdr. (ret.) in the\nNavy Reserve.\nAfter the war, Livermore again operated pack trains in the\nSierras and was owner and operator of a sawmill until 1952 when he\njoined Pacific Lumber Co. as treasurer.\nHe is a member of the California committee of American Forest\nProducts Industries, Inc.; associate director of the California Forest\nProtective Assn., a member of the State Chamber of Commerce's natural\nresources committee; a director and member of the executive committee\nof the Forest Genetics Research Foundation of Portland, Ore., and a\nmember and former chairman of the Commonwealth Club forest and\nrecreation section.\nHe also is organizer, executive secretary and currently honorary\nmember of the High Sierra Packers Assn. and has written and lectured\non various conservation and land use matters.\n# # #\n-2-\nPRESS\nGovernor 5 ald Reagan\nJanuary 12, 1967\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nState Health and Welfare Administrator Spencer Williams announced\ntoday that eight state-operated Multi-Service Centers will be closed\nSO that better service can be provided to the five centers that will\nremain in operation.\nAs of last month, Williams said, the five centers that will remain\nopen on a pilot-program basis accounted for 91 percent of the caseload.\n\"This program of concentrating the best of our combined services--\nboth public and private--will provide the best service to the greatest\nnumber of people,\" Williams said.\n\"But more important,\" he added\n\"the reduction in the number of\nour Multi-Service Centers will enable us to determine better the\neffectiveness of the program in the five centers that will continue\nin operation.\"\nWilliams noted that A. Alan Post, the legislative analyst,\nrecommended when the program was initiated that the method of meeting\nproblems faced by poverty-area residents should be carefully evaluated.\n\"The program should have been tried on a pilot basis originally\nrather than opening and attempting to build a program around 13\ncenters,\" Williams said. \"Some type of trial and error period and\nsubsequent evaluation is needed before this program can reach its\nfullest potential.\"\nCenters that will remain open are in South Los Angeles, East\nLos Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Richmond. Centers that will\nbe closed effective Feb. 11 are in Oakland, Venice, San Bernardino,\nLong Beach, Fresno, Bakersfield, Stockton and Vallejo.\nHowever, Williams emphasized, no case that is currently being\nhandled by the service centers will be dropped. All persons now being\nhelped will be handled by offices of departments from which they are\nalready receiving services.\nThe Department of Rehabilitation will maintain field offices in\nVenice and Vallejo following closure of the service centers in those\nlocations.\nRehabilitation cases in other areas where the centers will be close.\nwill be transferred to the nearest field office of the department and\nall persons currently receiving rehabilitation services will continue\nto have that opportunity, Williams said.\n-1-\n#Y\nEmployment service field offices will continue to be open in the\neight cities where the service centers are being closed.\nThe 13 Multi-Service Centers were authorized by the Legislature in\nan effort to provide a \"single-door\" approach to solving many poverty-\narea problems.\nThey originally were designed to include services for rehabilitation\nemployment, youth authority, corrections, social welfare, mental\nhygiene, public health, consumer counsel and Fair Employment Practices\nCommission.\nThe idea behind the plan was to use a \"team\" approach among various\nstate and local agencies, eliminate overlapping and referrals among\ndepartments and coordinate services of all levels of government.\nHowever, an examination of the program disclosed that there was\nsome duplication of services among centers and department field offices\nand that local agencies did not participate to the extent necessary\nfor a successful program, Williams said.\nWith proper development of the five centers, he added, better\ncoordination of existing programs can be achieved.\nWilliams said Governor Ronald Reagan has requested all participating\nstate departments to give complete support to the service center concept\nunder its new format so that a valid test may be made.\nAt the same time, Dirk Eldredge, assistant executive secretary to\nthe governor who is responsible for local government liaison, will work\nclosely with local agencies in the five locations to build a stronger\npartnership between the centers and local authorities.\nWilliams also said that private business and industry will become\ninvolved in the program through the statewide job opportunity program\nbeing developed by H. C. McClellan.\nThe task force on welfare, headed by Lt. Gov. Robert H. Finch, also\nwill work closely with it in evaluating the new approach.\nWilliams noted that directors of the 13 centers--when asked to list\na priority for those that should remain open--selected those centers\nthat will continue in operation.\nA general fund expenditure of $3.4 million was authorized by the\nLegislature during the current fiscal year. Williams said funds unused\nby the eight closed centers will be diverted to the remaining five\ncenters.\nIn addition, he said, by putting the program on a pilot basis with\nfive centers, a total of $4.4 million can be saved in the 1967-68 budge\nWherever possible, Williams added, employees will be transferred to\nthe five remaining service centers. Other employees will be asked to\nremain in state service and every effort will be made to minimize dis-\nplacements, he said.\n# # #\n-2-\nPRESS RELEASE - PB - #10\nGovernor Ronald Reagan\nJanuary 12, 1967\nFOR RELEASE FRIDAY A.M.'S\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today named Edward B.

Moreover, the 15-year-old Convair 340 cruises at\nonly 265 miles per hour while modern jet charter planes are available\nwhich cruise at 480 miles per hour. This means a valuable saving of\nthe governor's time in addition to the money saved.\"\nBattaglia said that if a six-passenger jet were chartered for\nthe same amount of flying mileage the Grizzly flew last year, the\nsaving would amount to $127,385 in addition to greatly reduced flying\ntime for the governor. He said the Grizzly cost $2.25 per mile versus\n88¢ per mile on a small chartered jet.\nImmediate sale of the Grizzly is expected, Battaglia indicated.\nHe said the plane was sought for use on a small feeder airline,\nfollowing conversion by Convair.\nBattaglia disclosed that the state has seven other planes, at\nleast three of which can be used as a back-up for charter and commercial\nflights if needed in an emergency. He said an analysis is underway to\ndetermine whether all of these planes are required, and to assure\nefficient use of them.\n# # #\nSTATEMENT BY THE GOVERNOR ON KERR'S DISMISSAL\n1/20/67\n\"I Believe the board took a very responsible action today\nin dismissing President Kerr.

Ronald Reagan.\nThe special study was made as a public service by Lybrand, Ross\nBros. & Montgomery; Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart, and Arthur Young\n& Co. It was conducted at no cost to the state.\n\"I would like to express my deep appreciation for the very\nfine public service these firms and men have rendered,\" the Governor\nsaid.\n\"They have worked exceedingly hard on this special study so\nthat I, as Governor, can present to the people of California a\nand undistorted\nclear/picture of this state's very critical financial condition.\n\"They deserve the heartfelt thanks of every Californian,\" the\nGovernor added.\nResults of the special study follow:\n\"The statements below are based on data furnished to us by the\nDepartment of Finance, the Controller, the Treasurer, the Auditor-\nGeneral and the Legislative Analyst. We wish to make it clear that\nthis information has been subjected to only limited inquiry and re-\nview by us. We have not made an examination in accordance with\ngenerally accepted auditing standards and we are therefore not in\na position to express an independent accountant's opinion as to the\nfairness of the historical portion of the financial information\nwhich is presented.\n\"It should also be understood that those portions of the prin-\ncipal comments below which include projections of future revenues,\nexpenditures and cash-flow are based on assumptions and forecasts\nprovided to us by the Department of Finance. The ultimate realiza-\ntion of those assumptions is contingent on future developments and\nevents and there is no assurance that they will be achieved.\nAccordingly, we cannot assume responsibility for the accuracy of\nthese projections.\nPRINCIPAL COMMENTS\n\"Following are brief highlights of the condition of 1966-67\n(MORE)\n-2-\nGeneral Fund finances,\n1966-67 CASH GAP\nAt July 1, 1966, the General Fund had\nspendable cash in Treasury of\n$192,991,000\nThe cash balance for June 30, 1967\nis projected to be\n7,698,000\n$185,293,000\nOutstarding borrowings from other\nfunds at June 30, 1967 are pro-\njected to be\n180,000,000\nTotal Cash Depletion\n$365,293,000\n\"Simply stated, the General Fund will have been depleted by\n$365,293,000 of cash during the year ending June 30, 1967. This\nhas no direct relationship with the amount of the reported General\nFund book surplus at July 1, 1966 or the projected surplus at\nTune 30, 1967. Surplus on the State's books at any given date is\nthing more than the excess of all General Fund assets, including\ncash, over all General Fund liabilities. The book surpluses of the\nGeneral Fund, just like those of any business, include non-cash\nitems, such as accounts receivable, as well as cash in Treasury.\nTherefore, regardless of the amount of book surplus at any point\nin time, the spendable cash available in the Treasury may range\nfrom an amount ir excess of book surplus all the way down to zero.\nONE-TIME REVENUE ACCRUAL\n\"Under provisions of 2966 Senate Bill NO. 34, the estimated\nGenera. Fund revenues for fiscal 1966-67 include $362,486,642 which\nare expected to be earned but not received in cash by June 30,\nFiscal 1966-67 will be the first year in which such accrued revenue\nare recognized for budgeting and accounting purposes. The result,\nfor 1966-67 only, is that the General Fund revenue budget is in-\nflated by the $362,486,642 accrual but--as in prior years--the\nequivalent cash will not be received until a subsequent year.\nBORROWINGS AT YEAR-END\n\"Fiscal year 1967-68 will be the first time in 25 years in\nwhich the General Fund will commence the year with projected out\nstanding borrowings ($180,000,000).\nFUTURE BORROWING PROBLEMS\n\"The need for the General Fund to finance the cash gaps in its\nbudgets through temporary borrowings from other State funds is in-\n(MORE)\n-3-\ncreasing, but its ability to close those gaps by such borrowing is\ndiminishing with each successive fiscal year.\n\"Borrowings at February, 1967 are projected to be $565,000,000,\nand in excess of $900,000,000 by February, 1968, unless there is a\nchange in the present revenue structure or in the total expenditures\nof the State. There is a high probability that the cash available\nfor future borrowings from other funds will not be sufficient to\nmeet General Fund borrowing demands at several periods during fis-\ncal 1967-68.\"\n1.30.67/PB\nSTATE OF CALIFORNIA\nGENERAL FUND\nTEMPORARY BORROWINGS\n(millions of dollars)\nJUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MAK APR MAY JUN\n600\n600\n1966-67\nESTIMATE\n500\n1965-66\n500\n400\n400\n300\n300\n200\n200\n100\n100\n\\\n\\\nD\n0\nJUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN FLB MAR APR MAY JUN\nINCREASE\nOVER 1965.60\n41\n70\n111\n167\n172\n207\n244\n294\n225\n275\n180\nmillions of dollars\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nBREG\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\n445-4571\n1.30.67\nSCHEDULE 1.30.67--2.5.67\nMONDAY, JANUARY 30\n10:00 am\nDepart Santa Monica Airport, private plane\n11:00 am\nArrive Sacramento Airport\nTUESDAY, JANUARY 31\n10:30 am\nJoint Session of the Legislature; Assembly\nChambers.

It will be composed of the president of\nthe local bar association or his representative, a judge of the Superior\nor Municipal Court and citizen members.\nThese persons will be asked to advise the governor on the\nqualifications of candidates proposed for judgeships.\nGovernor Reagan also said he intends to retain the system in\nwhich each candidate for a judgeship is screened by the State Bar to\ninsure that appointees are professionally qualified and are not the\nsubject of disciplinary proceedings.\nThe governor noted that the interim plan for appointment of\nsuperior and municipal court judges ultimately will be replaced by\nproposed legislation designed to establish judicial selection systems\nfor the appointment of both trial and appellate judges.\n# # #\n31\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE:\nuesday, January 31\nSacramento, California\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\nJanuary 30, 1967\nCharles P.
