This Administration has set aside this\nweek as \"City and County Government Week,\" because it is our belief\nthat government governs best when it is kept closest to the people.\n\"Throughout California's history, we have maintained a strong\ntradition of \"home rule,\" whereby a high degree of governmental\nauthority has been reserved to cities and counties.\n\"This Administration recognizes and seeks to strengthen the role of\nlocal government as a vital force in our society. The cities and\ncounties of California daily fulfill the most essential needs of the\npeople by providing public protection, education, streets and highways,\nparks and recreation, health and welfare facilities and other vital\nservices. These functions, kept at the local level, give our citi-\nzens the greatest opportunity to exert strong and constructive\ninfluences on their government.\n\"The growing national trend toward centralization in government has\ndone much to remove political decision-making from the people. This,\n-1-\nin turn, has sapped their sense of responsibility for the course of\ngovernment.\n\"To counteract this trend we must work to build strong local govern-\nments that are responsive to local needs, and which allow their citizens\nto directly shape the policies which affect them.\n\"Ne have learned that our cities and counties are staffed by com-\npetent and devoted public servants ready to aid their residents in\nidentifying local needs and opportunities, in providing the solutions\nto everyday problems of community living, and in effectively executing\ncivic programs under the close scrutiny of concerned local citizens.\n\"But mere recognition of the importance of local government is not\nenough. We must be aware that an increasingly complex urban society,\nwith the problems of core cities and sprawling suburbs, creates new\nand difficult problems.\n\"\" e believe that the answer to these problems is to streng-\nthen, not to abandon, the basic concept of local government. It is to\nfind new solutions, emphasizing the essential values of local government,\nwhich will promote greater efficiency and effectiveness, while at the\nsame time retaining local decision-making and responsiveness to indi-\nvidual citizens.\n\"To achieve this objective, definite improvements in the relation-\nships among federal, state and local government must be made:\n\"We must insure that local governments have the\nauthority to develop and carry out governmental\nprograms at the city and county level, without\nthe hindrance of overly restrictive regulations\nby state and federal authority.\n\"Local governments must be permitted to develop\nfiscal programs and sufficient revenue capabili-\nties to finance local services, without having\ntheir taxing capacity pre-empted or reduced by\nexcessive federal and state taxation.\n\"\"e must restore to cities and counties their\nability to enact local laws designed to meet\nlocal problems, thus reversing the unfortunate\ntrend towards \"implied pre-emption\" by other\nlevels of government.\n\"This Administration has initiated the concept of a \"Creative\nSociety,\" wherein the unique capabilities of the independent sector\ncan be brought to bear on the problems of our State. The Creative\nSociety can best be implemented under strong local government where,\n-2-\nbecause he has the ability to influence vital decisions, the citizen\nmaintains his interest and participation in his community.\n'Within the framework we have outlined, we intend to carry on a\ntrue partnership between the State and local government, so that our\ncities and counties and the citizens they represent, can have effective\nroles in California's dynamic growth.\"\nPB/550\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n10-9-67\nPRESS IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan said today in answer to a request\nfor advice from Alan Boyd, Federal Secretary of Transportation, that\nthe proposed cutback in federal highway funds for California would\nbe \"dishonest\" and a grave mistake on the part of the Federal\nAdministration.\n\"Under federal law highways are built with gasoline tax funds\nplaced in trust for that purpose and cannot legally be diverted or\nused as a tool for fiscal gimmicks, the Governor said. Highway\nprograms in California and other states are being delayed because of\nconstant changes of policy in Washington.\n\"This recent threat of disruption of the Interstate program\nwould cost the state money because of the great sums involved in\nadvance programming and planning.\n\"Washington keeps one out of five of our gasoline tax dollars\nnow,\" Governor Reagan said. \"In addition, the White House has held\nup for more than a year $250 million marked for California\nfreeways which California is entitled to.\n\"It is time for Washington to look at its own operations and\nthe administration of its many programs, rather than threaten to\ncurb a program that is supported by a trust fund. While Washington\nhave\nhas refused to meet its obligations, we in California/cut back the\noverhead in our cwn California program and re-allocated almost $100\nmillion to construction contracts. We are also relieving the\noverhead burden on city and county governments in relation to\nhighways.\n\"It is ironic that whileWashington is emphasizing highway\nsafety and imposing many controls throughout the states, at the same\ntime it continues to suggest the diversion of highway trust funds\nfrom the construction of more and safer highways,\" the Governor said.\n# # #\nPB/551\nHEALTH AND WELFARE AGENCY\nFor immediate release\nSacramento, California\nContact: Spencer Williams\nOctober 4, 1967\nCounty reports showed 3,255 welfare recipients PRESS placed\n9\nfarm work in September, Spencer Williams, Health and Welfare\nAdministrator, said today.\nReports to the Department of Social Welfare from 57 of the 58\ncounties showed a total of 4,638 fathers were available for work.\nOf these, 4,363 were referred to the State Department of Employ-\nment for work, and 3,255 of them were placed in farm jobs and\n637 in other employment. A total of 261 were removed from the\nrolls for failure to cooperate. Removal of some others was\npending.\nContra Costa County said the information requested was not\navailable.\nWilliams asked for the reports last Wednesday to determine if\nthe system under which the unemployed fathers of families\nreceiving aid for dependent children must accept employment\nor be removed from the rolls for failure to work was effective.\n\"The system generally appears to be working,\" Williams said.\n\"We are making a further analysis of the information received\nto insure the most effective utilization and uniform appli-\ncation of the procedure.\" \"We want to make it as workable as\npossible.\"\nIn the nine counties suffering most of the farm work shortage\nthe totals were 2,876 available--2,859 referred for employment,\n2,453 given farm employment, 205 provided other jobs, and 124\ncases closed for failure to cooperate. The nine counties are\nFresno, Madera, San Joaquin, San Bernardino, Stanislaus, Tulare,\nKern, Merced, and Monterey.\nThe statewide figures for August showed 4,588 available,-4,304\nreferred, 3,311 employed on farms, 440 other jobs, and 230\nremoved.\nMORE\nThe 4,363 referred in September represent approximately 23 per-\ncent of the 21,000 unemployed fathers on the unemployed-parent\ndependent children program rolls at the end of August. This\nmay result from a number of factors, Williams said, including:\nphysical unsuitability for farm work, enrollment in job training\nprograms, residence in urban areas distant from farm needs, and\nlack of seasonal employment in some counties.\nFurther inquiry is being made as to the extent of referrals and\nthe duration of the employment gained, Williams added.\n###\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nIMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n10-10-67\nPRESS\nSacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan said today a Senate subcommittee\nbill to create a Redwood National Park in Northern California contains\nsome excellent provisions but that it also raises several serious\nquestions.\nThe Governor pointed out that he has repeatedly supported\ncreation of a Redwood National Park so long as issues vital to\nCalifornia are resolved.\n\"It has been our position since the first Senate hearings last\nwinter that two key provisions must be contained in any Redwood\nNational Park proposal before it would meet with approval by this\nAdministration, the Legislature and the people of California.\n\"High in all of our deliberations has been the principle that\nthe economy of the northern California area in which a park is to be\nlocated must not be seriously damaged.\n\"The bill as written by the Senate Interior Subcommittee goes a\nlong way in resolving this very crucial problem, although I am very\nconcerned that even now there are insufficient provisions for guard-\ning against loss of jobs by residents of the area and damage to its\nmost important industry.\n\"The subcommittee is to be commended for concurring in our re-\nquest that the Northern Redwood Purchase Unit now owned by the U.S.\nForest Service be exchanged for privately-owned timberland. This is\na key point in any plan for a park that would take thousands of acres\nof timberland out of production with the resultant harm to the area's\nbasic economy.\n\"However, the bill as now written would apparently take nearly\n13,000 acres of timber out of production despite the transfer of the\nNorthern Redwood Purchase Unit to private operators.\nMORE\n\"Because the North Coast's economy is almost solely based on\nlumbering and because the bill as now written would, it appears, still\nseriously damage the lumbering industry in the area, I urge the\nSenate to substantially reduce the private acreage to be taken so as\nto lessen the economic impact.\n\"Another point of serious concern is the proposal that California\ndonate its three existing state redwood parks to the federal government.\nAs I have said repeatedly since this Administration took office, pro-\nvisions must be made to compensate California for the loss of these\nfine parks.\n\"For many years now, the state and private groups have bought\nthousands of acres of virgin redwoods to protect them and retain the\nheritage of those magnificent stands of redwoods.\n\"It has been our desire to cooperate to the fullest extent\npossible with the federal government and in this regard we have agreed\nto inclusion of one or more state parks into the national park pro-\nvided the federal government also agreed to transfer title to some of\nits numerous surplus properties for inclusion in the state park system.\n\"In discussions that have gone on for more than eight months,\nrepresentatives of the federal administration have agreed to transfer\nto the state certain seashore and other lands that California can\nincorporate into its park system for our burgeoning population.\n\"Before I could give the bill, as now written, my endorsement,\nI must first be further assured in writing by the federal agencies\ninvolved that they will in fact transfer specific federally-owned land\nto the state for recreational purposes.\n\"Meanwhile, I am confident that all concerned will continue\nto work together to solve this very complex and emotional issue.\"\n# # #\nPB/552\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nContact:\nPaul Beck\nPRESS\n445-4571\n10.10.67\nSacramento--Gov.

George Murphy\n(R-Calif.) that he supported an amendment by Sen. Murphy which\nwould enable California to enforce standards stricter than the\nfederal government's. The Murphy Amendment was incorporated into\nthe bill which passed the Senate and now is before the House.\n\"I want to express my gratitude to both senators and to all\nmembers of the California Congressional delegation for their hard\nwork in seeking to assure the citizens of this state that federal\nlegislation does not destroy the pioneering advances already made\nin controlling air pollution in California,\" the governor said.\nHe noted that Eric Grant, executive officer of the Motor\nVehicle Pollution Control Board, has been in constant communication\nwith members of Congress to help assure the exemption for California.\nGrant also has made numerous trips to Washington to make California's\nposition clear and will continue to do so, Gov. Reagan said.\nThe current siege of smog in the Los Angeles Basin should\nserve as a reminder to everyone that air pollution is a major pro-\nblem that must be solved. California has pioneered in the fight to\ncontrol the sources of air pollution and federal legislation\nwould remove many of our weapons in this fight which would be\ndisastrous to the people of this state.\"\n# # #\nPB/582\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNO\nIMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento, Californi\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\nSacramento--Governor Ronald Reagan has PRESS appointed Barnes,\n10-27-67\nJulian, and William D.
