Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
On this 5th day of May, Mexicans and Californians of Mexican
descent gather throughout the state to commemorate one of the most
important of Mexican national holidays.
They gather to pay tribute to those heroes of Mexican history who,
under the command of General Ignacio Zaragoza, successfully defended
the city of Puebla on this day (May 5, 1862) demonstrating that Mexico
was a nation determined to defend its sovereignty.
On this occasion, I am pleased to extend a very special greeting
to all Californians of Mexican ancestry. The people of the North
American continent continue to be inspired by the memory of those
heroes, who in the battle of Puebla de Zaragoza, gave us an example of
the interior collective spirit which gives strength to a nation to
resist tyranny.

of the death of former Assemblyman Stewart Hinckley in an airplane
crash:
"Stew Hinckley was a dear, personal friend whose tragic death is
a great loss to all of us who had the privilege of knowing him and

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has directed the
Department of Water Resources to work with the U.S. Corps of Engineers
to make further analyses of possible water development plans on the
Eel River watershed.
The governor said he wanted additional independent studies to
develop definite alternatives which would not involve flooding Round
Valley in Mendocino County.
Such studies, the governor said, should not preclude other water
development on the Eel River Watershed.
The governor's action came in response to a report from the Corps
of Engineers on the feasibility of constructing the Dos Rios Dam.
Governor Reagan said the Corps' report does not go into other possible
water development and he therefore has asked the Department of Water
Resources to work with the Corps to develop further information and
analyses as alternatives to flooding Round Valley by constructing the
Dos Rios Dam.
"I am very concerned about the Dos Rios Project with its resultant
flooding of Round Valley, he said, "and I want to know about other
alternatives that may be feasible.
"At the same time," he added, "I want to make it clear that the
State will meet its commitments to furnish water under State Water Projec
contracts."
Governor Reagan said he was deeply indebted to officials in various
state departments and agencies for presenting the issues involving the
Dos Rios Project to him and his Cabinet and that the factual and
objective information presented made it clear that other alternatives
need more detailed analysis.
"There are very serious questions in my own mind about protecting
Round Valley, he said. "It is a place of great natural beauty. Another
concern I have is for the Community of Covelo and for the future of the
Round Valley Indians who have inhabited the valley for centuries.
"With these factors in mind, as well as our commitments to deliver
water to the South under terms of the State Water Project, I have
determined that all alternatives must be completely analyzed.

Governor Ronald Reagan today congratulated Dr. Arie J. Haagen
Smit, chairman of the California Air Resources Board, for being
honored with the gold medal award of the Hodgkins Foundation.
The Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D. C. made the
award Wednesday to Dr. Haagen-Smit, professor of bio-chemistry at
the California Institute of Technology, and to Dr. Jule Gregory Charney,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for their "outstanding research
in the atmospheric sciences leading to an improved understanding of
man and his total environment." Dr. Haagen-Smit was cited for his
"discovery of the chemical nature and source of the kind of
atmospheric pollution known as smog."
The governor, who appointed Dr. Haagen-Smit chairman of the
Air Resources Board in April, 1968, said the honor "recognizes the
tremendous accomplishments of a Californian.
"Dr. Haagen-Smit's contributions in the area of smog and air
pollution have enabled California to take the lead in helping make
our atmosphere cleaner. I am proud that he has been given this
award and all Californians should share in this pride for his
continuing efforts toward helping purify the air we breathe."

function under the auspices of the State Department of Aeronautics.
The task force will make recommendations for the adaptation of space
and aviation concepts at the elementary, high school and junior college
levels in California based on present and projected requirements of the
aviation and space industries. The group will also prepare a statement
dealing with the economic implications of aviation and the space sciences

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has signed the
following bills:
AB 248 - Davis
Authorizes the Lassen-Modoc County Flood
(Chapter 82)
Control and Water Conservation District to
acquire authority to proceed with a project
which consists of a contract with the United
States for a water supply from a proposed
federal reclamation project. The bill also
authorizes the district board, where the
proposal for the creation of a zone or
zones for such a project is successful, to
levy a tax in the zone or zones for the
purpose of paying any expenses incurred by
the district to formulate and present its
plan justifying construction of the proposed
federal reclamation project.
AB 338 - Dent
Permits an elective constable who becomes
(Chapter 83)
a non-elective marshal or deputy marshal by
operation of law to remain a member of a
county retirement system for the uncompleted
elective term regardless of his age.
The need for the bill arose from the
consolidation of two justice courts in Contra
Costa County. The resulting court was ruled
to be a municipal court. An elected constable
of one of the justice courts, being 70 years
of age, would be compelled to retire by oper-
ation of existing law.
AB 351 - Biddle
Establishes procedures for claiming the wel-
(Chapter 84)
fare exemption from property taxation for
the 1968-69 fiscal year for property other-
wise eligible therefore, except that on the
lien date in 1963 the articles of incorporation
of the nonprofit corporation owning such
property did not contain a statement of
irrevocable dedication.
AB 425 - Johnson, R.
Provides that the power of a court to rule
(Chapter 87)
on a motion for a new trial shall expire
60 days after mailing of the notice of entry
of judgment by the court clerk or 60 days
after service on the moving party of a
written notice of entry of judgement, which-
ever is earlier. If no such notice is given
the power to SO filing of
a notice of intention to move for a new trial.
AB 501 - Johnson, H.
Provides that service by one party of a
(Chapter 85)
written notice of trial on an adverse party
will be deemed notice of trial with respect
to the party serving the notice.

#286
SB 109 - Marks
Permits the San Francisco Unified School
(Chapter 35)
District to conduct classes at the San
Francisco International Airport and the
San Francisco County Jail.
Authority to conduct classes at the airport
and county jail is needed because both
facilities are located outside the school
district in San Mateo County.
SB 144 - Moscone
Makes the Vehicle Code provision prohibiting
(Chapter 77)
parking or stoppirgof vehicles or animals
on designated public premises except in
accordance with regulations established by
the governing board or officer thereof
applicable to a municipal airport.
SB 169 - Kennick
Removes authority of the Secretary of State
(Chapter 78)
to deny, revoke or suspend a commission as
a notary public on grounds of bankruptcy.
In 1967, when the laws relating to notaries
public were amended, the Secretary of State
was required to deny an appointment as a
notary public in instances where the
applicant had been adjudicated a bankrupt
within the five year period immediately
preceding the date of application for appoint-
ment. After applying such a provision for
a few months, it became quite apparent the
bankruptcy provision was quite harsh and
unfair. In 1968, the Secretary of State
recommended an amendment which permitted him
discretion in granting appointments.
SB 199 - Danielson
Prohibits putting any human waste into
(Chapter 79)
navigable waters of this state which are
within any marina, yacht harbor, fresh water
lake, or fresh water impoundment, from any
vessel, tied to a dock, slip, or wharf, that
has toilet facilities available for the use of
persons on such vessel. Makes any violation
a misdemeanor.
The bill further declares that legislative
intent is not to preempt the field of pollution
by vessels and not to prohibit any city,
county, or district to enact and enforce more
stringent regulation of pollution by vessels.
SB 207 - Grunsky
Excludes employees of garbage and refuse
(Chapter 80)
disposal districts authorized to weigh
garbage and refuse from regulation as public
or private weighmasters when performing such
duties.
SB 274 - Stiern
Extends the date which the State Board of
(Chapter 81)
Equalization must forward to the county
assessor its findings with respect to
eligibility of applicant for welfare exemption
from property taxation in cases where the
Board conducts a hearing.
The purpose of SB 274 is to give the state
board of equalization greater time to hear
appeals by persons whose claims initially
are denied.
#286
Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke signed AB 2344 on May 14 extending
the time for filing claims for homeowner's exemption from property
taxation for the 1968-69 and 1969-70 fiscal years from April 15, 1969
to May 23, 1969. Author of the bill is Milias.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"The people of California are concerned, and rightly so, about
the present situation at Berkeley. I share that concern but I am also
disturbed as to whether the people have been given the full facts.
"I would like to open today's press conference with a summary of
the events and circumstances surrounding the planned and violent
disturbances at Berkeley over the past 5 days.
"The issues have become clouded and some may be misinformed or
misled into believing in a so-called "cause" which in reality is nothing
more than a deliberate and planned attempt at confrontation.
"Such revolutionary actions as have been occurring at Berkeley
and elsewhere are not--and I repeat not--simply the acts of youngsters
sowing their wild oats or seriously and legitimately questioning our
Society and its values.
"Violence erupted at Berkeley last Thursday when the University
of California removed squatters from University-owned property that has
for more than two years been part of the University's planned expansion.
Campus officials repeatedly made it clear that the property was to be
utilized for University purposes.
"But despite these warnings, those who wanted a confrontation
sought to convert that property for their own use. It has been widely
reported that the property was being converted into a 'park' with
playground equipment, shrubbery and grass.
"What has not been widely reported is that Campus administrators,
Berkeley city officials and the Regents last week were given petitions
signed by 48 permanent residents in the immediate neighborhood of the
property.
"They protested the existence of the so-called park and asked for
'prompt and decisive action' to clear the property so it could be used
for the University's purposes. In their petition, these residents made
these points:
--1. Activities in the 'park' have caused 'great distress to the
neighborhood residents'
--2. Drums, shouting and other crowd noises have gone on until
2 or 3 a.m.
--3. Garbage and human feces litter not only the 'park' but
neighboring areas which have been used as garbage dumps and toilets.
--4. Bonfires have been maintained day and night without permits
--5. Drug pushers and addicts have been seen, activity which
particularly threatened the safety of residents who use the sidewalks
going to and from work.
--6. Residents who are stopped by beggars and many times
threatened if no gratuity is given.
--7. Theft of water and bricks from nearby sources.
These residents also complained that Berkeley police have been
forced to contend with, and I quote, ,'a mob of individuals who have no
respect for law-enforcement officers
"with these comments adding perspective, it should now be pointed
outh that last Thursday--after the property was cleared--mob violence
erupted and additional police were called to the scene.
"On that day, police took a tremendous and unprovoked beating
from a well-prepared and well-armed mass of people who had stockpiled
all kinds of weapons and missiles. They include pieces of steel rods,
as well as bricks, large rocks, chunks of cement, iron pipes and so
on.
"At Oxford and Hearst Streets, a can of gasoline was thrown at a
group of officers. On another occasion, a squad of officers was
surrounded, their gas cannisters taken from them and thrown back at
the officers. Dissidents stood on fire escapes and rooftops and
showered officers with steel bars, rocks and chunks of cement. One
officers was stabbed in the chest with a thrown dagger. Injuries
to officers total a mininum of 50 and additional reports are still
being received.
"Only after the riot erupted, and only after police officers and
citizens were seriously hurt, did the police find themselves forced
to defend themselves and to contain the mob with tear gas and in
some cases when all other police methods were insufficient--with
shotguns loaded with birdshot. This was done only to protect life
and property and in response to felonious assaults with deadly
weapons.
"Finally, when it became apparent that all available law enforce-
were
ment agencies including mutual aid from surrounding counties committed
beyond their capabilities, Berkeley city officials, the police chief
and the sheriff asked me for the National Guard and for a proclamation
prohibiting loitering between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and a ban on meetings
in public streets and places.
"I want to make it clear now that the National Guard, or what-
ever resources the state can provide, must and will be made available
to local officials when they ask for it.
"The tragedy of this entire attempt at revolution is that a fourth P
person is now dead as a result of violence at or near our college
and university campuses. Two Negroes were murdered at UCLA, a
janitor was blown up by a bomb at UC Santa Barbara, and now a young
man--a non-student--has died beaause of violence at Berkeley. The
details of this latestdeath is now under investigation and it there-
fore would be improper for me to comment further.
-2-
" However, this should again serve as a bitter lesson that violence
and revolution will lead to nothing but chaos and further bloodshed.
"It should be obvious to every Californian that there are those in
our midst who are bent on destroying our society and our democracy
and they will go to any ends to achieve their purpose--whether it be
a so called park or a college curriculum.
"I now urge--more deeply than before and more fervently than it is
possible to express- that those relative few who are seeking to destroy
us by turning one against the other must be dealt with firmly, swiftly
and with the justice they deserve.
"Until this happens and until all of us, public officials, campus
administrators, students and citizens alike--separate the terrorists
and the revolutionaries from our democratic society, we will never
succeed in solving the very real issues that all of us in good
faith are working to resolve. "

Governor Ronald Reagan said today that because the situation at
Berkeley has improved he has modified the regulations relating to
loitering and public assemblies in Berkeley.
The use of the National Guard and the California Highway Patrol
in support of local law enforcement, along with the promulgation and
enforcement of the regulations, has resulted in a more controlled
situation regarding the protection of life and property in Berkeley.
The new regulations, which will take effect at 10:00 p.m. on
May 22, 1969, replace the regulations which the governor issued on
May 15, 1969.
Conditions still exist in Berkeley which require the continuance
of the State of Extreme Emergency. These new regulations will remain
in force, and adequate National Guard will continue to be available to
local officials as long as may be necessary.
The governor said that he "trusts that the people of Berkeley and
the faculty and students at the University will do everything possible
to assist in restoring order on a permanent basis."
The new regulations, issued under the authority of Section 1581
of the Military and Veterans Code, are:
1--No person shall loiter upon any public street or sidewalk or
in any public place within that area of the city of Berkeley prescribed
by Hearst Avenue, Grant Avenue, Derby Street, Gayley Road and Piedmont
Avenue, from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. "Loiter" means standing or roaming
about on public property without any apparent purpose or legitimate
business.
2--No person shall conduct or participate in any meeting, assembly
or parade, of more than six persons, or use voice or sound amplifying
equipment, upon the public streets or sidewalks, or in any meeting
place open to the public as defined herein, in the city of Berkeley.
3--"Meeting place open to the public" means:
a--The campus of the University of California at Berkeley,
provided, that scheduled classes shall not be affected and provided
further that meetings and assemblies may be conducted on the campus of
the University of California, Berkeley, at locations and in the manner
designated for this purpose by the chancellor.
b--Unimproved real property owned by any public agency, includ-
ing but not limited to the State of California, the County of Alameda,

Governor Ronald Reagan today made the following statement:
"Good afternoon:
"Before taking your questions, I would like to make a brief
announcement which, I am sure, will be of great interest to all
Californians.
"During the past week, we Americans have shared with the people of
the world mankind's greatest, most incredible feat, in the field of
exploration. We have watched three courageous men succeed in braving
the most hostile of ail environments ---- that of outer space --- and
in paving the way to a landing on the surface of the moon this summer.
"Our three Apollo 10 astronauts -- Air Force Colonel Thomas P.
Stafford, and Navy commanders John Young and Eugene Cernan ---- backed by
an incredibly skillful team of men here on earth -- made us proud, to
be Americans and members of a free society.
"We are deeply grateful for their safe return from the moon.
"I am pleased, then, to announce that these three astronauts and
their families have accepted an invitation to visit California for
several days during mid-June. The cities and dates of the visit have not
yet been determined, but we will let you know as soon as these details
become available.
"During the past several months, members of my staff have been working
with the private sector --- individual member firms which comprise the
California aerospace industry, and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration - to make this visit a reality.
"I have extended the invitation to the Apollo 10 crew on behalf of
the people of California and we are greatly honored that the invitation
has been accepted. We all look forward to their visit."

I share that concern but I am also\ndisturbed as to whether the people have been given the full facts.\n\"I would like to open today's press conference with a summary of\nthe events and circumstances surrounding the planned and violent\ndisturbances at Berkeley over the past 5 days.\n\"The issues have become clouded and some may be misinformed or\nmisled into believing in a so-called \"cause\" which in reality is nothing\nmore than a deliberate and planned attempt at confrontation.\n\"Such revolutionary actions as have been occurring at Berkeley\nand elsewhere are not--and I repeat not--simply the acts of youngsters\nsowing their wild oats or seriously and legitimately questioning our\nSociety and its values.\n\"Violence erupted at Berkeley last Thursday when the University\nof California removed squatters from University-owned property that has\nfor more than two years been part of the University's planned expansion.\nCampus officials repeatedly made it clear that the property was to be\nutilized for University purposes.\n\"But despite these warnings, those who wanted a confrontation\nsought to convert that property for their own use. It has been widely\nreported that the property was being converted into a 'park' with\nplayground equipment, shrubbery and grass.\n\"What has not been widely reported is that Campus administrators,\nBerkeley city officials and the Regents last week were given petitions\nsigned by 48 permanent residents in the immediate neighborhood of the\nproperty.\n\"They protested the existence of the so-called park and asked for\n'prompt and decisive action' to clear the property so it could be used\nfor the University's purposes. In their petition, these residents made\nthese points:\n--1. Activities in the 'park' have caused 'great distress to the\nneighborhood residents'\n--2. Drums, shouting and other crowd noises have gone on until\n2 or 3 a.m.\n--3. Garbage and human feces litter not only the 'park' but\nneighboring areas which have been used as garbage dumps and toilets.\n--4. Bonfires have been maintained day and night without permits\n--5. Drug pushers and addicts have been seen, activity which\nparticularly threatened the safety of residents who use the sidewalks\ngoing to and from work.\n--6. Residents who are stopped by beggars and many times\nthreatened if no gratuity is given.\n--7. Theft of water and bricks from nearby sources.\nThese residents also complained that Berkeley police have been\nforced to contend with, and I quote, ,'a mob of individuals who have no\nrespect for law-enforcement officers\n\"with these comments adding perspective, it should now be pointed\nouth that last Thursday--after the property was cleared--mob violence\nerupted and additional police were called to the scene.\n\"On that day, police took a tremendous and unprovoked beating\nfrom a well-prepared and well-armed mass of people who had stockpiled\nall kinds of weapons and missiles. They include pieces of steel rods,\nas well as bricks, large rocks, chunks of cement, iron pipes and so\non.\n\"At Oxford and Hearst Streets, a can of gasoline was thrown at a\ngroup of officers. On another occasion, a squad of officers was\nsurrounded, their gas cannisters taken from them and thrown back at\nthe officers. Dissidents stood on fire escapes and rooftops and\nshowered officers with steel bars, rocks and chunks of cement. One\nofficers was stabbed in the chest with a thrown dagger. Injuries\nto officers total a mininum of 50 and additional reports are still\nbeing received.\n\"Only after the riot erupted, and only after police officers and\ncitizens were seriously hurt, did the police find themselves forced\nto defend themselves and to contain the mob with tear gas and in\nsome cases when all other police methods were insufficient--with\nshotguns loaded with birdshot. This was done only to protect life\nand property and in response to felonious assaults with deadly\nweapons.\n\"Finally, when it became apparent that all available law enforce-\nwere\nment agencies including mutual aid from surrounding counties committed\nbeyond their capabilities, Berkeley city officials, the police chief\nand the sheriff asked me for the National Guard and for a proclamation\nprohibiting loitering between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and a ban on meetings\nin public streets and places.\n\"I want to make it clear now that the National Guard, or what-\never resources the state can provide, must and will be made available\nto local officials when they ask for it.\n\"The tragedy of this entire attempt at revolution is that a fourth P\nperson is now dead as a result of violence at or near our college\nand university campuses. Two Negroes were murdered at UCLA, a\njanitor was blown up by a bomb at UC Santa Barbara, and now a young\nman--a non-student--has died beaause of violence at Berkeley. The\ndetails of this latestdeath is now under investigation and it there-\nfore would be improper for me to comment further.\n-2-\n\" However, this should again serve as a bitter lesson that violence\nand revolution will lead to nothing but chaos and further bloodshed.\n\"It should be obvious to every Californian that there are those in\nour midst who are bent on destroying our society and our democracy\nand they will go to any ends to achieve their purpose--whether it be\na so called park or a college curriculum.\n\"I now urge--more deeply than before and more fervently than it is\npossible to express- that those relative few who are seeking to destroy\nus by turning one against the other must be dealt with firmly, swiftly\nand with the justice they deserve.\n\"Until this happens and until all of us, public officials, campus\nadministrators, students and citizens alike--separate the terrorists\nand the revolutionaries from our democratic society, we will never\nsucceed in solving the very real issues that all of us in good\nfaith are working to resolve. \"\n# # #\n-3-\nPB\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Bec\n445-4571\n5-21-69\n#289\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today named Robert J.
