Governor Ronald Reagan's statement on the recommendations was given by William R. Gianelli, Director of the State Department of Water Resources. The total recommended appropriations of $60,520,000 for flood control and $103,872,000 for reclamation projects represent the unified position of the State of California, Governor Reagan said. Recommendations were arrived at following a series of meetings with local and state agencies and federal representatives. The proposals also were reviewed by the California Water Commission. "Totals are slightly higher than last year's appropriation," the Governor said, "but we feel the recommendations are entirely realistic and have been stripped of all non-essentials." Also representing the State at the Subcommittee hearing were Ira J. Chrisman, Chairman of the California Water Commission, and Edgar Gillenwaters, Deputy Director of Finance. The suggested appropriations follow: PB/231 FEDERAL FLOOD CONTROL PROGRAM IN CALIFORNIA FISCAL YEAR 1967-68 State Project County Recommendation Alameda Creek Alameda $ 4,300,000 Buchanan Dam Madera 500,000 Bullards Bar Dam Yuba 5,040,000 Corte Madera Creek Marin 300,000 Dry Creek Reservoir Sonoma 2,000,000 Eel River Delta Humboldt 250,000 Hidden Dam Madera 500,000 Klamath Relocation Del Norte 750,000 Los Angeles County Drainage Los Angeles 12,900,000 Lower San Joaquin River Several 884,000 Lytle and Warm Creeks San Bernardino 350,000 Martis Creek Placer 700,000 Marysville Dam Yuba 100,000 -2- Federal Flood Control Program in California, FY 1967-68 (Continued) State Project County Recommendation Mojave River Reservoir San Bernardino $ 1,880,000 Mormon Slough San Joaquin 650,000 Napa River Napa 300,000 New Melones Reservoir Calaveras Tuolumne 2,750,000 Oroville Reservoir Butte 13,700,000 Pajaro River Monterey 150,000 Pine Flat Dam and Channel Work.

JAK/232 OFFICE OF THE GOVERN RELEASE: 1 ediate Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.3.67 Governor Ronald Reagan today urged key state agricultural officials to work closely with other governmental agencies, farmers and the private sector to assess problems created by California's extremely wet spring. He said he has asked the State Board of Agriculture, working with the State Department of Agriculture, to assess the impact of the unusual weather on California's agriculture. The State Board of Agriculture will meet here Thursday. The state board and the department were asked by Governor Reagan to jointly explore with farmers, other state agencies, federal bureaus, financial institutions, insurance companies, suppliers of farm input items, processors and transportation companies to determine what action business and industry take to relieve problems caused by the heavy rainfall. "Earl Coke, director of the Department of Agriculture, and Allan Grant, president of the State Board of Agriculture, have assured me they are making every effort to find out the extent of the damage and to pinpoint areas where assistance can be made available," the governor said, adding: "The number of individual farmers suffering complete or substantial losses of crops or trees, or related production due to lack of feed, is still unknown. "At the same time, the magnitude of the economic losses of farm workers and supporting agricultural industries has not been determined. "It appears that economic losses to agriculture and related industries will involve all sections of the state," he said. "Therefore, it is imperative that all sections of our agricultural economy begin working together to determine not only the extent of the damage but also what can be done to assist farmers and others affected by the adverse weather." # # # PB/233 OFFICE OF THE GOVER R Sacramento, Califor, Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.3.67 FOR IMMEDIATE. RELEASE Sacramento--State Finance Director Gordon P. Smith has signed an order transferring 11.5 million dollars from the state general fund to the health care deposit fund to carry financing of the state's Medi-Cal program through the remainder of this week. The transfer was made at the request of Gov. Ronald Reagan, who said it is necessary to prevent interruptions in the State Medi- Cal Program. In addition, Smith said he is prepared to transfer another 16 million dollars, that ordinarily would be used to pay off year's end medicare bills, to see the program through until May 15. Reason for the transfer of funds is the federal government's failure to come up with its share--equal to the combined state- county share--of medicare funds. A supplemental appropriation has passed the House of Represen- tatives but is still before the Senate. Smith said it is hoped federal funds will be made available by May 15. He pointed out that as of Tuesday the state had only $600,000 in its medical account and had two million dollars worth of bills to pay. Without the federal funds the state will be unable to pay bills from May 15 to May 30. On June 1 another 11.5 million dollars of state funds will become available but Smith said it will not be possible to use this amount any sooner because of the way the law is written. The failure of the Congress to pass the supplemental appro- priation means the state must shoulder the full medical load tem- porarily. Ordinarily the 11.5 million dollars is programmed with federal and county funds to meet the costs of the medicare program through the entire month. # # # LN/234 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger Thurs AMS 445-4571 5.3.67 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sacramento--A transportation committee to recommend a master plan for California transportation was announced today by Gov. Ronald Reagan. "This is an enormous task, and I am asking men with vision and brains to join us in comprehensive transportation planning," Reagan said. "Transportation now and in the future affects every citizen and proper planning is a vital need for California," he said. Gov. Reagan has asked 21 California citizens, mostly involved in the transportation industry or planning groups, to work with Gordon C. Luce, State Administrator of Transportation, and other representatives of government. Expert consultants will be asked to participate at the first meeting planned for May 25 in Sacramento. Luce also will coordinate a Governor's Transportation Conference to include all persons in the State involved in transportation. This conference is being planned for October in Sacramento. The Governor said in a letter to those invited to join the committee that California is a recognized leader in the field of highway transportation. But he noted that effective communication between all trans- portation entities in the State and overall integrated planning is essential. The objectives of the committee will include determining the role of the State, the proper organizational structure to accomplish such a role, the value of existing transportation studies and forms of transportation for the future. Gov. Reagan also pointed out that the Transportation Agency will continue its present role of coordinating the Departments of Public Works, Motor Vehicles, and California Highway Patrol with an eye toward integrated planning with other modes of transportation in the State. The Agency has already recommended a closer and increased role with the Board of Aeronautics. The committee membership is composed of a cross section of California transportation. Airlines, airports, the general aviation industry, railroads, bus companies, maritime shipping and trucking have been asked to provide members. The Southern California Rapid Transit System, Bay Area Rapid Transit System, the Auto Club of Southern California, the Auto Club of Northern California, Transportation Agency of Southern Cali- fornia and the Bay Area Transit Study also are included. In addition, other California cities with planning groups, an architect, an engineer, an academic person and the State Chamber of Commerce have been asked to serve. Advisory members to be invited in addition to Luce are: Chairman, Senate Transportation Committee; Chairman, Assembly Traneportation Committee: representative from the League of California Cities; representative from the County Supervisors Assn.; a repre- sentative from the State Public Utilities Commission; and a repre- sentative from the California Division of Highways. # # # LN/235 HEALTH AND WELFARE AGENCY FOR MEDIATE RELEASE Sacramento, California Contact: Spencer Williams May 3, 1967 "Over my dead body," was the reaction of Spencer Williams, Administrator of the Health and Welfare Agency, to the demand of Assemblyman Charles Warren, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, that Dr. James V. Lowry, Director of the Department of Mental Hygiene, be dismissed by the Reagan Administration. "Dr. Lowry is nationally acclaimed as a top man in the field of mental health," Williams said, "and California is fortunate that he has agreed to continue his service as Director of the State Department.' Dr. Lowry was first appointed to his position by former Governor Brown after a nationwide drive to recruit the best man available. In reappointing Dr. Lowry, Governor Reagan said, "I am convinced that our state government will be served best by retention of Dr. Lowry." "His reappointment by Governor Reagan was hailed throughout California by Republicans and Democrats alike," Williams said, "and any efforts by Charles Warren or others to force his removal will be over my dead body. Continuing hypocritical efforts by Warren and others to gain political mileage through exaggerated statements and foolish demands concerning the Department of Mental Hygiene can only serve to cause unwarranted alarm among the staff, patients, and patients' families, and cause serious damage to the program itself," Williams said. ####### OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.4.67 Louis J. Kroeger of 64 Pine Street, San Francisco, has been named a member of the Commission on California State Government Organization. He replaces Harold Furst, also of San Francisco. Like Furst, Kroeger is a Democrat. Kroeger is one of three governor's appointees on the commission. A graduate of the University of California, Kroeger has been a consultant on government for the last 22 years. He is a member of the firm of Griffinhagen & Kroeger. He is 58. # # # LN/236 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.4.67 Governor Ronald Reagan announced today the appointment of Virginia Allee, chief of the Division of Industrial Welfare, as his representative to the Washington Conference on the Role of American Women in the War on Poverty. Miss Allee will meet in Washington on Monday, May 8, with other leading representatives of women organizations from throughout the United States, top government officials from the 50 states and the federal government, and officials of the War on Poverty. She was briefed Thursday for her trip, including attendance at the meeting of the California Assn. of Community Action Directors. She heard the governor address the group and stress the importance of the local community in the War on Poverty. Miss Allee talked with several members of the organization about their programs and the activities of women in the War on Poverty and discussed the involvement of various state agencies in the program. In naming Miss Allee as his representative, Governor Reagan asked her to convey the message that local participants in the War on Poverty should have more control over the spending of money in the program. Miss Allee has a long history of working for the interests of people. Prior to being appointed to her present post, she held several top level positions in the retail industry in Southern California. She has been personnel director for Bullock's Department Stores, and was a vice president of J. J. Haggarty's, Inc., of Beverly Hills. She also has been active in many civic and professional organizations in Southern California where her particular interests were in the personnel field. As chief of the Division of Industrial Welfare, Miss Allee is a statutory member of the California Advisory Commission on the Status of Women. For four years prior to her being named to her present position, she served on the California Industrial Welfare Commission. # # # PB/237 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.4.67 PRESS SACRAMENTO - Gov. Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement urging all Californians to celebrate Cinco De Mayo: "Cinco De Mayo is an important Mexican holiday which is widely celebrated throughout California by our citizens of Mexican descent. "On the 5th of May 1862 a poorly equipped Mexican army defeated the regiments of the French Emperor Louis Napoleon. This victory set OUR southern neighbors on the long road leading to independence and the flourishing Republic of Mexico we know today. "Cinco De Mayo should have significance for all Americans, whatever their backgrounds. It commemorates the beginning of one nation's struggle to become free, a desire with which all Americans sympathize. "For this reason, I urge all Californians--regardless of descent to participate in the Cinco De Mayo celebrations being held throughout California this weekend. # # # LN/238 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California PRESS Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.4.67 FOR SUNDAY RELEASE Sacramento--Is capital punishment a deterrent to murder? Those who believe it is have at least two more supporters in the form of an Oakland liquor store operator and his wife. The office of Gov. Ronald Reagan recently received this letter from the wife. It is one of hundreds of letters received supporting the Governor's stand on capital punishment: The Hon. Ronald Reagan, Governor of California State Capitol Building Sacramento, California Dear Sir: By seeing to the enforcement of our law, you saved my husband's life last Sunday, when a Negro bandit knocked him down, sat on him, raised his knife high and shouted, "I am going to kill you!" My husband, struggling to hold his hand away, shouted in reply, "You may kill me, but you will go to the gas chamber for that! Will you like to go to the gas chamber?" My husband said later that upon these words, the hand holding the knife shook, and though the struggle continued for the gun and the money, the knife was put down. Then the police arrested the man and his companion. When my husband stood up again, he said to me, "Governor Reagan saved my life!" It is the life of a very good, honest man who works hard for a living--a life worthy of being saved. The best thing that has happened to us is that you became our Governor. I thank you with all my heart, and I pray that God may bless you. Yours very truly, # # # LN/239 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNO RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 Governor Ronald Reagan announced today PRESS that he will not intervene 5.4.67 in the case of Daniel A. Roberts, scheduled to be executed on May 9 for the murder of a San Francisco landlady in 1962. Roberts was convicted of first degree murder in a jury trial, and the death penalty was unanimously affirmed by the California Supreme Court in December, 1966. Governor Reagan had earlier granted a 20-day stay of execution at the request of Roberts' attorney, Mrs. Nancy Rossi of San Leandro. The governor said that each of the questions raised by Mrs. Rossi has been thoroughly investigated, and that there is no factual basis for upsetting the decisions of the jury and the Supreme Court. "We have fully examined every facet of the case, including any matters in mitigation or extenuation, which might aid in determining whether or not to exercise executive clemency, and have found no justification for intervening in this case," he said. Roberts has had two trials, with the first, in 1963, also resulting in the death sentence by a different jury. The U.S. Supreme Court denied a stay of execution on April 17, 1967. Roberts, now 43, was convicted on November 22, 1965, of killing Mrs. Pearl Popejoy, the landlady of an apartment house on Folsom Street in San Francisco, where Roberts had been living for 3 months prior to the offense. Testimony at the trial revealed that Roberts had planned a robbery of Mrs. Popejoy to obtain the rent money which he thought she had hidden in her apartment. He had planned a subsequent getaway, and had arranged with his brother to move his belongings prior to the robbery attempt. On the night of the murder, Roberts waited until Mrs. Popejoy's husband had left for work, and then entered the apartment. The next morning the landlady's body was found hidden under a bed. Rental documents, a purse and a watch were missing from the apartment. Roberts and a woman who had been living in the apartment with him had fled from San Francisco, and were eventually captured in Oregon. Roberts had previously been twice convicted of felonies, includ- ing check offenses in 1947 and second degree murder in 1954. The 1954 conviction involved a robbery-murder situation, and Roberts was on parole for that crime at the time of the San Francisco murder. # # # LN/240 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Imn.

JAK/246 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 Governor Ronald Reagan today concurred PRESS in the declaration of a 5.8.67 state of emergency along the San Joaquin River system and announced that he will make a flying tour over the San Joaquin Valley and foot- hills Wednesday morning. State Water Resources Director William R. Gianelli asked for concurrence in the declaration earlier today. The governor said he has asked Gianelli, Earl Coke, director of the State Department of Agriculture, legislators from San Joaquin Valley districts, and representatives of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps of Engineer to accompany him on the flight. The flight will be followed by a press conference in Fresno at 10 a.m. The declaration will enable the State Department of Water Resources to aid local districts along the San Joaquin River in patrol- ing river levees and bypasses and maintaining them during the next 10 weeks of estimated high water flow. The governor directed the Department of Finance to free funds set aside by the Legislature in 1958 for such emergencies under Section 128 of the Water Code. "The San Joaquin Valley is facing a long-term threat along the river," Governor Reagan said. "The Department of Water Resources has warned that unless there is a concerted effort to maintain the strength of the levees, there could be a major break in the system before mid- July. We will do all that is possible to prevent a disaster. "The agricultural economy of the San Joaquin Valley has already suffered from April storms. We must see that farm land adjacent to San Joaquin River levees is protected so that farmers do not suffer further losses. "At this time, our efforts are not in response to a disaster, but rather in response to the needs of a flood-fighting agency -- the Department of Water Resources -- to get on the battle line of pro- tection against serious damage. "We are alerting the people of the San Joaquin Valley, and California, to the fact that the record snowpack in the Sierras above the southern San Joaquin Valley is a potential danger. -1- "We recognize that danger and are deploying men to prevent damage. I know local agencies responsible for maintaining the levees will do their best and the state will do its part to render assistance when that job is beyond their manpower or financial resources." Governor Reagan said the Department of Water Resources has already briefed supervisory personnel and that Division of Forestry conservation crews will be available for levee work if the need arises. # # # (Memo to Editors: The Fresno press conference will be held at 10 a.m. in the pilot's briefing room in the hanger of the California Air National Guard at Fresno airport.

JAK/252 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger FOR PRESS 445-4571 5.9.67 Sacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan disclosed today he will support legislation to allow the California Highway Patrol to purchase and use radar equipment in its efforts to control speeding. Reagan said he will make AB 1070, introduced by Assemblyman William Ketchum, a part of his legislative program. The bill authorizes use of radar to measure speed of motor vehicles for the purpose of determining violations of speed laws. It also provides that evidence gathered by radar can be used as evi- dence in court. Reagan called radar "another technological tool in our war against slaughter on highways." He pointed out that moving violations "are not a contest between motorists and police to see whether or not the police can catch the motorists." "Speeding is a violation of the law. If a motorist is not speeding he need have no fear of being 'trapped' by radar." "We cannot continue to seek more and more highway patrolmen while at the same time refusing to give them the otools that will allow them to do their job efficiently and thoroughly," Reagan said. # # # May 8, 1967 A DEFINITIVE STATEMENT OF CALIFORNIA'S GOALS AND PROGRAMS FOR TREATMENT OF THE MENTALLY ILL The goal of this administration in the field of Mental Health is to foster those conditions which will prevent or minimize mental breakdown. In the absence of more specific knowledge about causes and treatment, a practical goal for the Mental Health Program is development, maintenance, and restoration of social and personal equilibrium despite emotional stress. This means that the primary emphasis will be to assist individuals who are mentally ill to achieve a reasonable operating level. For the foreseeable future, therefore, the broad aim is not general emotional well being nor is it complete cure it is to provide such treatment and supportive servicesas will keep a child at home and in school and an adult with his family and on the job with both functioning at a reasonable level. Continued research into causes and treatment will also be pursued. We believe that local mental health programs offer the most feasible and enlightened way to achieve these goals. They afford early detection and prompt treatment with minimum dislocation from home, family, school and job. This is the best assurance for an early and satisfactory return to active participation in society. If the disorder requires removal from the home, placement should be in a facility most suited to treatment of the disorder with early return to the home planned from the outset. We will continue to strive for a reduction in the size of our mental hospitals. While they may never be fully eliminated, they will be used primarily as a back-up resource for the local program -- as efficient intensive treatment centers. Thus, the emphasis of our entire state system for care and treatment of the mentally ill in the future is based on the local programs. At the present time there are 41 of these programs in California, financed by a combination of state and local funds under the Short-Doyle Act. They are now serving areas having 90 percent of the state population and are a very important factor in reducing the admissions to state mental hospitals. In addition to increased emphasis on expansion of these programs we favor an improved system for pre-admission, screening and after-care services that will bring long overdue continuity to the treatment of our mentally ill. The system will have the following features: 1. Mentally ill people will be treated near home by a local physician -2- or through the local mental health program. 2. Treatment will be on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Involuntary commitment should be permitted only if the patient is considered dangerous to himself or others. Whether admission is requested or a petition for involuntary commitment is sought, the individual concerned will be sent to the local mental health program for diagnosis and recommendation. 3. Patients will be referred and admitted to a state mental hospital for inpatient treatment only if the local mental health program determines that the individual has a mental disorder and requires 24 hour hospital care and that such care is not available locally. The state hospitals will operate in support of the local programs. 4. Upon release from state hospitals, patients will be referred back to the local program for aftercare as needed. The recently introduced California Mental Health Act of 1967 (AB 1220) offers the legal basis for the implementation of this program, and to that extent is supported in principal by this administration. RONALD REAGAN Governor State of California OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATE Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.9.67 SACRAMENTO--Governor Ronald Reagan today revealed his long range goals for California's treatment of the mentally III and at the same time voiced his support, in principle, of AB 1220, the Lanterman-Petris Mental Health Act of 1967. "The Lanterman-Petris Bill, halled by knowledgeable persons in the field of mental health as a giant step forward in the handling of commitments, is a key element in our plans for the future," said Governor Reagan. "It is fortunate that the timing of its first hearing today coincides with this announcement of our long range plans which have been several months in the making. "It is our belief that local mental health programs offer the most feasible and enlightened way to achieve the best results for treatment of our mentally ill. "These programs afford early detection and prompt treatment of persons afflicted with mental illness with the minimum disturbance from home, family, school, or job, and offers the best assurance for their early and satisfactory return to active participation in society," he said. "By increasing state assistance in the development and extension of local programs we hope that we can continue to reduce the size of our mental hospitals and eventually use them primarily as a back-up resource for local efforts. "At the present time there are 41 Short-Doyle programs in California serving areas having 90% of the state's population. In addition to increasing the emphasis on expanding these programs, we favor an improved system for pre- admission, screening, and after-care services that will bring long over~due continuity to the treatment of our mentally ill," Reagan said, "Voluntary and involuntary treatment alike should be by a local physician or through a local program near the home of the individual concerned. Admissions to state hospitals will only be after careful local diagnosis and a determination that the individual has a mental disorder which may result in harm to himself or to others and which requires 24-hour hospital care not available locally. "Furthermore, upon the release of such individuals from state hospitals they will be referred back through the same Short-Doyle services for such after-care as is necessary. -1- "This concept will not only eliminate duplicate and competitive govern- mental services but will introduce the most advanced system for the treatment of the mentally 111 offered anywhere. It is limited, of course, to so-called civil commitments and procedures and will have no effect on or change in the laws of the Penal Code concerning mental disordered persons charged with crimes, criminal sex offenders, narcotic drug addicts, or the like." Governor Reagan noted that studies leading to introduction of the Lanterman-Petris bill were conducted over a period of two years. "This kind of careful study insures that California will continue to lead the nation in mental health advances," Governor Reagan said. # # # -2- LN/254 PRESS MAY 10 1967 MEMO TO THE PRESS Governor Reagan and Lieutenant Governor Finch will join leaders of the California telephone industry May 11 for a ceremony commemorating the nation's 100 millionth telephone.

The governor signed SB 69, the "Trade Secrets Measure" which, for the first time in any western state, makes it a crime to walk away from a company with secret scientific information and give it or sell it to other firms or companies. The bill was introduced by Sen. Robert J. Lagomarsino (R-Ventura and Santa Barbara counties). The governor pointed out that industry in California is doing more research in the aerospace, chemical, drug and related fields than any other state. He said the loss of newly discovered products or processes not only affects the owner but also could affect employment in research and manufacturing in California. Governor Reagan said the bill will help encourage research- oriented industry in California and the state should do everything possible to protect companies which have developed research programs. Sen. Lagomarsino, who introduced and co-authored the bill with Sen. Clark L. Bradley (R-San Jose) and Assemblymen J. K. MacDonald (D-Ojai) and Frank Lanterman (R-La Canada), said the trade secrets measure will "act as a deterrent to unscrupulous persons who prey upon and exploit California industry." # # # PB/261 OFFICE OF THE GOVER R MEMO TO IE PRESS Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.12.67 Schedule - May 15-21 Monday, May 15 7:00 pm Santa Maria Barbecue; El Rancho Hotel, West Sacramento.

JAK OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 Governor Ronald Reagan today issued a PRESS directive ordering 5.17.67 state departments to give summer jobs to qualified youth having the greatest economic need. However, he tempered this by ordering also that college students needing summer work to finance their educations are "to receive every consideration." The governor named Employment Director Peter Weinberger to head the program. In a statement the governor said: "Employment among youth seeking and needing summer work is of direct concern to this administration. A job with pay is the best way to help any youth become a productive member of society. While provision of summer jobs by private industry and business is vital, state agencies can and should participate in providing these jobs. The program is aimed primarily at providing summer jobs for youth between the ages of 16 and 21. # # # LN/266 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 Governor Ronald Reagan today ordered the PRESS 5.17.67 in a state effort to coordinate and maximize the use of automatic data processing equipment used by state, county and local governments. Initial step will be the naming of a Governor's Intergovern- mental Board on Automatic Data Processing. The 11-man board will draw four members from the state, three from the counties, three from the cities and one from the school districts. Long-range aim is the eventual achievement of a statewide federated information system. The committee is expected to propose any legislation that may be needed to coordinate the data processing systems. Ronald Frankum, the governor's Special Assistant for Local Government, said it is hoped that "eventually all levels of government will be in a position to pool their resources and to control the growth of their data processing staffs and reduce their investments in equipment." Frankum said the governor's office is aware of work being done in the same area by the County Supervisors Assn., the League of California Cities and under a study authorized by the Legislature last year. He said the governor's office intends to work with these groups "on a partnership basis." # # # LN/267 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE 445-4571 5.18.67 Sacramento--Gov.
