A Federal-State agreement that will provide an estimated $25 million
in relief to 14 flood-stricken Northern California counties was signed
today by Governor Ronald Reagan and Ralph D. Burns, Regional Director
of the Office of Emergency Preparedness.
The assistance, made possible through the declaration of a
major disaster in the 14 counties by President Nixon, will help local
governments to repair damaged roads, bridges, water and sewage
systems and other public facilities, according to Governor Reagan.
He said that the declaration by the President will also provide
additional assistance to individuals who have suffered as a result of
the floods.
Available under Public Law 91-79 (the Federal Disaster Relief Act
of 1969) the assistance will include:
1. Not less than 50 percent of the costs of permanent repair
or reconstruction of any permanent street, road or highway
facility not on the Federal Aid System.
2. Grants to remove timber from privately owned lands and other
relief under government timber sales contracts, including the
construction of temporary roads necessary for removal or salvage of
damaged timber.
3. Authority for the Small Business Administration and the Farmers
Home Administration to provide long-term, low interest loans to
the private sector.
4. Temporary accommodations for individuals and families whose
homes are damaged or destroyed.
5. Additional unemployment compensation to individuals whose jobs
were lost or discontinued as a result of the floods.
6. Assistance for the removal of debris from privately owned
lands or waters when the CEP Regional Director determines that
this is in the public interest.
The 14 counties are Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Lassen, Marin
Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehema, Trinity and Yuba.

Governor Ronald Reagan today strongly endorsed action by the
State Water Resources Control Board to insure that the state's tough
laws against water pollution are implemented.
The board announced today that it is taking steps to review the
actions of local water quality agencies to determine whether they
are adequately enforcing compliance of the state's tough Porter-Cologne
Act.
In a statement, the governor said:
"This administration is committed to a program which will protect
and enhance California's environment SO that our treasured heritage can
be enjoyed by our children and their children's children.
"Today's decisive action by the Water Resources Control Board
strengthens that commitment by serving notice on regional water
quality control agencies and water polluters that long delays in
correcting water quality abuses will no longer be tolerated.
"We are determined that our strict laws against water polluters
will be adequately observed and enforced--at the state level, if local
agencies fail to act.
"As you know, I strongly supported and signed the Porter-Cologne
Act last year. It was passed unanamously by the legislature.
"In my State-of-the-State message, I assured the people of
California that we were prepared to use its tough provisions if
necessary.
"This law-the strictest and most comprehensive water pollution
control act in the nation--enables courts in California to impose
penalties of up to $6,000 per day on violators.
"Only last week, the State Water Resources Control Board
certified to the State Attorney General certain violations of the act
in Monterey County.
"As a result of today's board action, I am confident that cases
where other violations exist will be brought to the attention of the court.
"Some cities in California have been polluting the waters of the
state for years. Others have facilities which have not been operated
properly.
"It is now up to local agencies, both public and private, to meet
and discharge their responsibilities.
"The state board, in taking its action, has pointed the way," the

A University of California student was appointed to a four-year
term on the State Park and Recreation Commission today by Governor
Ronald Reagan.
He is Thomas M. Bonnicksen of Berkeley, a forest ecology major.
He will succeed Harold L. Zellerbach of San Francisco, whose term has
expired.
In announcing Bonnicksen's appointment, Governor Reagan said,
"responsible students throughout the state have asked that their
voices be heard in policy decisions that will help shape the future.
I believe they should be given this opportunity.
"Mr. Bonnicksen is typical of many of our young people who are
concerned with and want to be involved in shaping the world they will
inherit. He is a dedicated conservationist who has worked consistently
for his ideals and I know he will make important contributions to
the work of the Park and Recreation Commission."
The Governor said he became acquainted with Bonnicksen's work
when the student served as a member of a Citizens Advisory Committee
that helped set up the recent Governor's Conference on California's
Changing Environment.
Bonnicksen, 28, entered college after service with the U. S. Navy.
While in the Navy he earned a high school certificate and after
his discharge went to work to support his family while taking special
courses that enabled him to earn a California high school diploma and
enroll as a pre-forestry student at the College of San Mateo.
At the College of San Mateo, he helped to establish a regional
group of Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra Club and later served as
its president.
He also became active in numerous conservation campaigns, helped
to establish the National Campus Conservation Council and was
elected to its interim board.
In 1968, he transfermed to the U. C. School of Forestry and
Conservation.

"Unfortunately, because of the actions of some, the public's view
of the American college student has become soiled in the eyes of the wo:
"We cannot allow those who take the law into their own hands to cas
a shadow over the majority of our students. And sometimes we should be
reminded that this majority is itself victimized by the radical, law
breaking few.
"Because this is true I cannot let an opportunity go by to present
to the world some American college students as the majority of them
really are.
"The California marching band at Berkeley has been invited to appear
at Expo 70 in the world's fair in Osaka, Japan, and represent all the
colleges and universities of California. I am naming the band as
California's official representative also. A few years ago this band
represented the U.S. in Brussells in a way to make all of us very proud.
"The band has, throughout its history, demonstrated that teamwork,
cooperation, inspiration and constructive good works---not disruption and
destruction are the qualities of American students. It costs about
$150,000 to send the band to Osaka.
"So far, through hard work, a variety of fund-raising activities and
the contributions of its own members, the band has raised all but
$30,000 of the required amount.
"I hope all of you will join me by making personal contributions to
make sure they can go to Japan,
"Your donation can be sent to the "Cal Band Japan Tour, care of the
California Alumni Foundation, Berkeley. Contributions are tax deductible
"As Governor, I ask you to join me in the support of a group of
marching students in whom we can all take pride."

Governor Ronald Reagan today reminded California taxpayers not to
forget to take advantage of a 10 percent reduction in their income
taxes.
"While I realize that this will be a novel experience for the
state's taxpayers, this is their money and when we can effect
economies in government, it should be returned to them," the governor
said.
The reduction was requested by the governor last year and approved
by the legislature which authorized it for 1969 income, up to $100
on a single return and up to $200 on a joint return, provided that
the tax is paid in full by April 15.
The rebate is part of $633 million in direct tax relief which
has been passed on to California taxpayers during the Reagan
administration.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that the mileage death rate
on California's streets and highways dropped to an all-time low last
year.
He said that 4.5 deaths were registered for each 100 million
miles of travel throughout the state in 1969 down 2.2 percent from
the previous record low rate of 4.6 in 1968.
The California figure is well below the nationwide rate of 5.3.
However, in citing the new low record, Governor Reagan expressed
deep concern over an increase in the total number of traffic deaths.
"Despite all the progress being made to make our streets and
highways safer, the tragic fact remains that 5,080 persons died from
traffic accidents last year in California- 227 more than the year
before," he said.
"Even on our freeways, where the mileage death rate also hit
an all-time low last year (2.5 deaths per 100 million miles of travel,
compared with 2.55 in 1968), a total of 920 persons lost their lives in
accidents.
"Certainly, a decrease in the death rate can be no comfort to those
bereaved by such tragedies.
"For this reason," he said, "I am directing that traffic experts
in the California Highway Patrol and Division of Highways embark upon
the most detailed evaluation of available statistics ever made by the
state to try to determine, with even greater precision, where, and
why, our major increases are occurring."
The governor said that during 1969, California freeways absorbed
about half ot the state's six billion mile increase in additional travel.
The mileage death rate on the freeways was only 55 percent of the
overall statewide rate in 1969, and far below the 5.53 deaths per 100
million miles of travel on non-freeway thoroughfares in California.
Governor Reagan, noting that the enforcement of freeway safety
laws is the responsibility of the California Highway Patrol, credited
the state's continuing program of high intensity law enforcement and
additional freeway construction as major factors in the lower fatality
rate.
-1-
#152
He also pointed out that the state has been able to add $382
million in new highway and freeway projects during the course of his
administration as a result of administrative and other savings made
in the Division of Highways.
Other reasons cited by the governor for California's lower
mileage death rate included:
--Removal or relocation of fixed objects, such as signs and
bridge piers, from alongside freeways, at a cost to the state of
$5,000,000.
--Elimination of hazardous conditions, such as blind curves and
unsafe pavement surfaces, at 392 separate state highway locations where
accidents had previously occurred. The improvements were made at a
cost of $10,000,000 to the state.
--Additional highway safety projects, such as the installation of
thousands upon thousands of miles of reflectorized lane markers and
synchronized traffic signal systems, at a cost of $20,000,000.
--Stricter drunk driving laws permitting more effective enforcement
by the Highway Patrol. Drunk driving arrests by the CHP in 1969
totaled 56,000, a 27 percent increase over the previous year and a
100 percent increase over the 27,000 such CHP arrests in 1966.
--A 15 percent increase in the number of speeding tickets
issued by the Highway Patrol during 1969. During the past three years,
the CHP has increased its speeding citations by 60 percent.
--An 18 percent increase in the number of persons cited for
jaywalking, in 1969. Jaywalking citations issued by the CHP over the
past three years have climbed by 50 percent.
--A 43 percent increase in narcotics and dangerous drugs arrests
by the highway patrol last year from 518 arrests in 1968 to 905
arrests in 1969. The CHP made 110 such arrests in 1966.
Governor Reagan outlined a series of key legislative proposals
and administrative actions which the administration is taking to
strengthen the state's total traffic safety program and further
reduce the mileage death rate in California.
In the area of legislation, he urged the adoption of administration-
sponsored bills to:
--Enable the CHP to use radar to enforce maximum speed limits
(AB 474, Ketcham).
-2-
#152
--To permit the setting of high safety standards for all tires,
resold or new, in use on motor vehicles in the state (AB 733, Lewis).
-Require that helmets worn by motor cycle riders meet highway
patrol standards (AB 142, Foran). (Governor Reagan noted that motorcycle
fatalities were up 10 percent last year.)
--Establish speed laws to make the flow of traffic through
highway construction zones and snow areas safer (to be introduced by
Senator Fred Marler.)
--Modify present speed laws for vehicles hauling farm equipment
to prevent rear-end collisions (AB 233, Berryhill.)
--Permit felony convictions in injury accidents involving persons
driving under the influence of LSD and other hallucinatory-type drugs.
Governor Reagan also said he has directed the Business and
Transportation Agency to oversee and coordinate a series of
administrative actions designed to cut down on traffic accidents,
including:
--Asceleration of the state's program to eliminate roadside
hazards.
--Expansion of state projects to reduce wet pavement accidents
by grooving highway surfaces.
--Increased enforcement of laws against pedestrian violators
on both freeways and city streets.
--A continuation of the war on drunken drivers, which continues
to be the major contributor to traffic fatalities.
--Expansion of the CHP's traffic safety education activities in
high schools, with particular attention given to the role of motor
cycle accidents.
--A major expansion in the state's freeway guard rail program
to prevent head-on collisions. The governor noted that head-on
collisions on freeways without such median barriers rose 30 percent
last year.
--The improvement of chemical tests to determine whether a driver
is under the influence of alcohol or dangerous drugs.
The governor, noting that the California Highway Patrol has been
doubled in size during the course of his administration, also pointed
out that his 1970-71 budget will enable the CHP to put 159 additional
patrolmen on the road.
He took the occasion to commend a host of employees in the
Highway Patrol, Public Works and Motor Vehicle departments for
countless day-to-day contributions they are making toward making
California's streets and highways safer.

Governor Ronald Reagan today asked State Director of
Public Works James A. Moe and the California Highway Commission to
reinstate $126 million in state highway projects scheduled for fiscal
1970-71.
The projects were deferred last year as an anti-inflation
measure in response to a September 4, 1969, request by President
Richard M. Nixon.
The president, at that time, announced a 75 percent cutback
in federal construction and called on state and local governments
to assist in the anti-inflation effort by similarly deferring
construction projects, on a voluntary basis. Governor Reagan immediately
pledged the state's cooperation in the effort.
President Nixon yesterday advised the governor by telephone
that the deferral program has been successful in helping to curb
inflation and that further construction delays are no longer required,
"I am very pleased," the governor said, "that the action
taken by our administration last fall helped to strengthen the
president's efforts to curtail inflation."

Governor Ronald Reagan today lauded action by the Air
Resources Board in approving a four point program to get the lead out
of gasoline as "another milestone on the road to a smog-free
environment."
The board approved the program today on the recommendation
of its Technical Advisory Committee following a review of testimony
presented during a March 4 and 5 conference with representatives of
the automotive and petroleum industries. The conference was called
by the governor as part of his campaign against air pollution.
The program calls for phasing out of all lead additives
in motor fuel sold in California by January 1, 1977, with the
first step to be taken by January 1, 1971, when all marketers of
gasoline will be required to provide at least one grade of fuel with
a greatly reduced lead content.
"We have reached another milestone on the road to a
smog-free environment because industry was willing to sit down with
us to discuss the problem of air pollution and cooperate with us in
seeking a solution. The result is a workable, constructive program
with realistic goals," the governor said,

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of a
seven-member California Transportation Board.
The newly created Board was authorized by the enactment of
AB 974, signed by Governor Reagan late last year. Its creation was
one of the prime recommendations made by the Governor's Task Force on
Transporation, which submitted its report to the governor after an
18 month study of transportation in California.
The appointees are:
Richard R. Brown, El Cajon, president of Brown Tool
Engineering Company and member of the El Cajon City Council.
Hornsby Wasson, San Francisco, retired chairman of the board
and president of Pacific Telephone.
George Bous, Redding, west coast manager of Transportation
Services Division of U. S. Plywood.
Knox Bourne, Los Angeles, regional vice president of
McGraw Hill, president of Merchants and Manufacturers Association and
past chairman of Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Transportation
Committee.
Jonathan Gibson, San Diego, retired chief counsel, Santa
Fe Railroad.
James Folger, San Francisco, president of Folger Coffee
Company.
Aubrey Austin, Santa Monica, chairman of the board and
president of Santa Monica Bank.
In addition to the members named by Governor Reagan,
Senator Randolph Collier, chairman, Senate Transportation Committee,
and Assemblyman John Foran, chairman, Assembly Transportation Committee,
will serve as ex-officio members.
"California must have the best transportation system
obtainable. Our transportation needs are growing much faster than
the population, particularly as California's urban concentration
continues. Transportation modes must be coordinated in a way to
assure overall transportation development compatible with our
environmental and community goals. The efforts of these seven men will
be an important step forward toward this end," the governor said.

The board will advise the legislature and the Business
and Transportation Agency in the planning and coordination of
transportation in California.
It will review master plans, both private and public, for
the overall statewide transportation system, including the California

transportation plans developed by such organizations as the Bay Area
Transportation Study Commission, the Association of Bay Area Governments,
the Southern California Association of Governments, the San Diego
Comprehensive Planning Organization, and the Sacramento Regional Area
Planning Commission.
Recommendations of the board are expected to lead to
greater safety, a more agreeable environment, higher levels of
transportation service, less waste of resources, and lower costs of
transportation for all the people and freight moved in the state.
The appointments are subject to Senate confirmation and
the members will receive only necessary expenses.

Governor Ronald Reagan today proposed a $1 billion program to fight
water pollution in California over the next five years by upgrading
municipal sewage treatment systems to conform with state regulations.
The program, scheduled to be introduced in the legislature today
Chairman of the Assembly Water Committee
by Assemblyman Carley V. Porter (D-Compton)/, would drastically alter
a local-federal funding formula which now requires California cities
to raise 67 percent of the monies necessary for sewage treatment
facilities in order to qualify for the remaining 33 percent of federal
funds.
Under the governor's proposal, the cities would be required to put
up only 20 percent of the money necessary to build and improve sewage
treatment plants. The federal government would provide 55 percent and
the state would add another 25 percent of the funds.
The new funding formula is available to California, if the state
will agree to provide its 25 percent share.
The governor is proposing, therefore, that the state issue $250
million in general obligation bonds over the next five years, at the
rate of about $50 million a year.
The plan, which requires legislative approval, would go to a vote
of the people in November.
It would bring into the state some $550 million in federal funds and
could generate up to $200 million raised at the local level during the
same period for a total of 1 billion dollars.
Governor Reagan said that he also will ask the legislature to enable
the State Water Resources Control Board to issue up to $100 million in
revenue bonds to assist local agencies, experiencing extreme financial
hardship in financing waste treatment facilities, to come up with their
20 percent share of the new funding formula.
The issuance of revenue bonds requires legislative approval only.
Governor Reagan, urging strong support for the legislation, said
that "California now has the strictest water pollution control laws in
the nation laws which must be adequately observed and enforced."
Assemblyman Porter was a co-author of the tough Porter-Cologne Act
passed by the legislature last year. The measure, which the governor
strongly supported and signed into law, enables courts in California to
impose penalties of up to $6,000 per day on violators.
"This administration is committed to protecting and enhancing the
waters of our lakes, rivers, bays and coastal areas. Already, local water
quality control agencies and water polluters have been put on notice by
the State Water Resources Control Board that long delays in correcting
water quality abuses will not be tolerated. The legislation I am
proposing will enable communities throughout the state to significantly
speed up their efforts to end water pollution.
"I am confident that the voters of California will strongly endorse
this funding program which, with the Porter-Cologne Act. can once again
make California's waters clean and clear."

preparation of their state and federal income tax returns, is maintained
in the strictest confidence.
"I believe that abuse of the private and confidential client-
professional relationship in such matters constitutes an intolerable
invasion of privacy.
"The occasion is an especially happy one, not only because the
bill forms a key part of our 1970 consumer protection program, but also
because the members of the Assembly and Senate in both parties
saw
fit to move it so speedily through the legislature. It has taken less
than a month to move from introduction to signature.
"As you know, the law makes it a crime for tax consulting firms to
sell or disclose information obtained from clients, without their
written consent, or as otherwise authorized by law.
"The legislation is especially timely because it will protect a
majority of California taxpayers who are now in the process of having
their income tax returns prepared prior to the April 15 deadline."

Governor Reagan today sent
the following telegram to Mr. Bob Ransom of United
Teachers, Los Angeles:
"You have requested an appointment with me in
Sacramento to discuss matters which are properly
within the authority of the local representatives
of the people of Los Angeles. I would be able to
meet informally with teachers--whether in
organizations or not--at a mutually acceptable
time in the near future. Please contact my
education secretary, Dr. Alex C. Sherriffs, to
arrange a specific appointment.
"I also plan to respond to similar requests
from administrators and board members at a later
time. It should be clear, however, that I do this
in the interests of communication and the sharing
of information. I will not involve myself or
state government in problem solving in a local
matter properly resolved by the board of educa-
tion and the citizens of the Los Angeles School
District.
"Ronald Reagan, Governor"
