Lynch so that proceedings can be instituted immediately.\nVandegrift said:\n\"California has already been assured by the U. S. Department of\nHealth Education and Welfare (HEW), that the state need not increase\nthe size of its welfare grants.\n\"In fact, California already leads the nation in the amount of\nsocial services provided by the taxpayers for welfare recipients\nand leads 35 other states in average payments to AFDC (Aid to Families\nwith Dependent Children) recipients. California is also a national\nleader in Aid to the Blind, Old Age Assistanct, and Aid to the Disabled.\n\"Only a vast welfare bureaucracy intent on perpetuating itself\nand its own interests--without regard to the legitimate interests\nof the taxpayers--could allow itself to somehow accept the notion that\na state SO generous to the truly needy could be out of conformity.\n\"The fact is, the whole conformity issue boils down to a matter\nof technical and procedural differences--semantics--which have little\nif any relationship to the real issues-of helping those who truly\nneed public assistance.\n-1-\n#439\n\"We have already told the federal government in a brief which,\ncoincidentally, was filed today with Federal Hearing Examiner J.

In this connection, I do not believe that in\nthe separation of powers, the judiciary was intended to legislateor run\nour public schools. Moreover, the 1964 Civil Rights Act is very explicit\nin its denial of compulsory bussing to achieve social balance.\n- 1 -\n#441\n\"Now, I know that there are those who charge that opposing\ncompulsory bussing is somehow equivalent to encouraging discrimination.\nBut those who make this charge lack understanding of the real needs of\nour children, whatever their race or ethnic background.\n\"This was best explained to me by a mother who told me that what\nshe really wanted was a better education for her child in the\nneighborhood school he was attending. She said, 'We want teachers to\nkeep our children in a grade until they learn what they are supposed to\nlearn in that grade. We want an end to passing them simply because\nthey 've come to the end of the year.'\n\"Forced bussing is not a promise of improved education. On the\ncontrary, it can only promise to jeopardize educational quality by\ndiverting public funds which would otherwise be used for true\neducational purposes.\n\"Moreover, mandatory bussing could imperil some of the most\ninnovative and worthwhile projects for minority children ever instituted\nin our public schools vital bilingual teaching programs in neighborhood\nschools located in Spanish-speaking areas where, for example, youngsters\nof Mexican descent are getting special help in resolving language\nproblems.\n\"As I said earlier this year, forcing children to be herded onto\nbuses and carted across town each day away from their familiar home\nenvironments represents a vast and dehumanizing manipulation of school\npopulations.\n\"The legislation I am about to sign will go a long way towards\nhelping to assure that this does not happen.\"\n########\n- 2 -\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californi\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-14-70\n#442\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has vetoed SB 945\nat the request of its author, Senator Robert Lagomarsino.\n\"Senator Lagomarsino has informed me that the amendments added\nin the closing hours of the legislature went far beyond his original\nintent in introducing the bill,\" the governor said.\n\"As written, the bill might have provided some interference with\nthe right of access to public fishing areas, a situation which Senator\nLagomarsino definitely did not intend in his original drafting of the\nbill,\" the governor said.\n#####\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOI\nRELEASE: Imm Late\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n9-14-70\n#443\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:\n\"The importance of agriculture to the economy of California\nis unquestioned.

These measures can serve as models for the\nentire nation because this is a campaign that must have the cooperation\nof every concerned citizen.\n\"The first bill (AB 219) which was carried by Assemblymen Pete\nWilson, Bill Campbell and others, is the most comprehensive plan in\nhistory to provide intrastate controls on the inventory, shipment and\nsale of restricted dangerous drugs.\n\"It will allow responsible state agencies to follow every shipment\nof dangerous drugs from the time it leaves the manufacturer through\nvarious distribution routes to the physician, the pharmacy or\nthe hospital. And, it will make it possible to pinpoint any individual\nor group of individuals who divert the drugs into the illicit market\nto be sold to our young people.\n\"The second bill, (AB 1782) which was carried by Assemblyman\nNewt Russell, will go a long way toward helping victims of drug abuse,\nparticularly young people, back on the path to healthy productive lives.\n\"This measure requires that in cases where probation is granted to\nthose convicted of drug possession, the victim will be referred to a\ncommunity agency for education or treatment.\n\"In the case of a minor, if it is deemed necessary by the court,\nthe parents will also be required to participate in the education and\ntreatment program. Our State Office of Narcotics and Drug Abuse will\nassist local communities in establishing these treatment and\neducation centers.\n\"The third bill, (AB 1951) carried by Assemblyman Campbell, will\noffer protection to our law enforcement officers and their families.\nIt will make it illegal to disclose the addresses and phone numbers of\npeace officers when the disclosure is intended to harm the officer or\nhis family or to obstruct justice.\n-1-\n#444\n\"It serves notice to disreputable underground newspapers and other\npartisans of the so-called \"drug culture\" that their harassment of, and\nobscene threatening phone calls to, the wives and children of peace\nofficers will cease.\n\"The fourth bill (AB 2279) by Assemblyman John Stull, will make it\nillegal to use California license plates on cars sold in a foreign\ncountry. It will enable customs and narcotics officials to make an\nimmediate check by computer at the border to make certain that pirated\nlicense plates are not used in smuggling.\n\"The fifth bill (SB 1396) by Senator Bob Stevens will tighten up\nthe requirements for oral prescriptions and the possession and purchase\nof hypodermic needles.\n\"The sixth bill (SB 946) by Senator Bob Lagomarsino, will increase\nthe penalties against those who make a business of pushing narcotics,\ndangerous drugs and marijuana if they have been previously convicted\nof these crimes.\n\"Today the people of California are making it absolutely clear to\nthe pusher, the illegal pill peddler and the drug culture apologist\nthat--as of now--we are putting you out of business.\"\n# # #\n-2-\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-16-70\n#445\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed into law four key provisions\nof the tough Omnibus Clean Air Law he proposed to the legislature last\nJanuary.\nAt a special signing ceremony at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los\nAngeles, the Governor said:\n\"When I became governor I pledged that we would do all we could to\nmake our skies bluer and our air cleaner.\n\"I am pleased to say that we are keeping that promise.\n\"The fact that California's motor vehicle emission standards are the\nstrictest in the world---and becoming increasingly tougher each year\nbears witness to the tremendous progress we are making.\n\"Last January, I proposed to the legislature the most comprehensive\nand far-reaching Omnibus Clean Air Law ever proposed by any state or\nnation law to further strengthen California's stringent controls on\nsmog, and to provide the teeth necessary to enforce them.\n\"In the next several minutes I will be signing four new sections\nof the Omnibus law we sponsored. bills which are stricter, by far, than\nany ever imposed by any other state or nation to battle smog.\n\"Assembly Bills 80 and 81 carried by Assemblyman Pete Schabarum\nof Covina---give the California Air Resources Board the power to\nsignificantly alter the chemical makeup of gasoline and reduce the smog-\ncausing pollutants it spews into the atmosphere from automobile engines.\n\"AB-80 will enable the state to regulate what are known as\nunsaturated hydrocarbons in gasoline. These fumes are heavy contributors\nto eye-irritation in smog. The legislation applies to the entire Los\nAngeles-South Coast air basin.\n\"AB-81, which applies throughout California, will permit the state\nto regulate the volatility of gasoline. In effect, it will insure that\nevaporative smog control systems which are now required on all new cars\nsold in California- are operating at full efficiency to prevent the\nescape of hydrocarbon fumes into the atmosphere.\n\"The third bill in our Omnibus Clean Air Law--AB-1 by Assemblyman\nCraig Biddle of Riverside---will, for the first time, require the\nassembly-line testing of every new car sold in California to assure that\nit fully measures up to California's vehicle emission standards.\n- 1 -\n#445\n\"Let me emphasize that this means every new car---not just typical\nsamples picked at random along the assembly-line.\n\"This testing must begin no later than January 1, 1972. And,\nstarting with the 1973 model year, any manufacturer which sells or tries\nto sell a new car which does not meet the state's standards will be\nsubject to a $5,000 fine for each violation.\n\"Furthermore, the new law empowers the California Highway Patrol to\nconduct random roadside tests of smog control systems to help insure that\nthey are kept in good operating condition after the cars are sold.\n\"This marks the first time that any state has enacted such stringent\nlaws for the specific purpose of reducing smog caused by automobiles.\n\"The last bill---AB-16 by Assemblyman Bill Ketchum of Paso Robles\nbans open burning of both solid and liquid waste materials at such\nplaces as garbage and oil dumps, and wrecking yards.\n\"The legislation also restricts the use of orchard heaters to low-\npollution types and sets up a program for the control of agricultural\nwaste burning.\n\"In sum, this bill will not only eliminate a major source of smoke\nand unpleasant odors, but will also help to improve air quality in many\nareas of the state where open burning has not been regulated in the past.\n\"Before signing these four bills, let me hasten to emphasize that\nthey represent only part of our Clean Air Law.\n\"A few weeks ago, I signed legislation (AB-88) to impose $6,000-a-da\nfines on anyone violating cease-and-desist orders issued by air pollution\ncontrol agencies; and a measure (SB-505) which requires that smog control\nsystems on all new cars sold in the state are properly adjusted and\ncertified for optimum performance prior to the time of sale.\n\"Time does not permit listing a number of other provisions in our\nClean Air Law which have only recently been enacted. But, it should be\nclear to all that we are keeping our pledge to the people of California--\nto make our air cleaner and our skies bluer.\n\"We are well down the road to victory in the battle against smog.\"\n######\n- 2 -\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEAS: Immet ite\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n9-16-70\n#446\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today that the following bills\nhave been signed:\nAB 10 - Crown\nRequires the governor's budget to be submitted\n(Chapter 980)\nto the legislature within the first ten days of\neach regular legislative session, rather than\nwithin the first 30 days.

In\na few moments, I will be signing the final three bills of this package\ninto law.\n\"However, before mentioning them specifically, I would like to recall\nfor you just a few of the many consumer protection laws we have sponsored\nand signed during the course of this administration laws to protect\nagainst unsolicited merchandise in the mail; against unscrupulous merchant:\nwho try to force citizens to pay for things they haven't ordered and don\nvant; against being charged for unrequested goods and services from\nunsolicited credit cards; against unethical land promoters; and against\nfly-by-night swimming pool contractors.\n\"During this year alone---as part of our current consumer program\nI have signed bills:\n--To strengthen our ability to protect the insurance-buying public\nby preventing the summary cancellation of homeowner policies without good\ncause.\n- 1 -\n#457\n--To assure that information from clients used in the preparation\nof income tax returns is maintained in the strictest confidence.\n--To permit the adoption of high safety standards for all tires\nused on motor vehicles in the state.\n--And to establish, for the first time, uniform sanitation and\nhealth requirements for all retail food outlets and grocery stores in\nthe state.\n\"The remaining three bills in our program will strengthen even\nfurther the state's ability to protect legitimate businossmen and\nconsumers from the unscrupulous entrepreneur.\n\"Assembly Bill 1192 carried by Assemblyman Jim Hayes (R-Long Beach\nwill, for the first time, give the state boards of Medical and Dental\nexaminers the power they need to crack down on those few in the healing\narts professions who gouge their patients by imposing unnecessary or\nexcessive treatment and drugs.\n\"The bill will allow our boards to investigate such abuses and,\nif necessary, suspend or revoke the licenses of persons found guilty of\nthese practices.\n\"The next bill---SB-647 by Senator Clark Bradley (R-San Jose)\nis\nthe first federal or state law of its kind ever enacted to protect\nfranchise buyers from the misleading and deceptive practices of an\nincreasing number of unscrupulous franchise peddlers who have entered\nthis fast growing field.\n\"The International Franchise Association strongly supports this\nlegislation which will help prevent shady operators and confidence men\nfrom duping innocent people---and reflecting unfairly on the rest of the\nindustry.\n\"From now on, franchise sellers will have to fully disclose the\nfinancial capabilities of the firms they represent, and clearly spell out\nthe obligations of the franchise buyer.\n\"Finally, SB-1290- by Senator Lew Sherman (R-Berkeley) will, for\nthe first time, guarantee that the accounts of small investors in\nfinancially troubled industrial loan companies are protected from loss\nby up to $10,000. Unlike banks and savings-and-loans, the deposits of\nthrift holders in industrial loan firms have not been insured in the past\n\"The consumer confusion and hardship which results when a company\nfails have made it imperative that there be a law to protect against such\nlosses.\n\"In sum, the fact that every bill in our program this year is being\nwritten into law, is a testimonial for all to see, of our continuing\ncommitment to effective and responsible consumer protection for the\npeople of California.\"\n#####\nEJG\n- 2 -\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-17-70\n#458\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that will\nallow the Tahoe City Public Utility District to borrow $2 million from\nthe State Water Quality Control Fund to construct sewage and storm\ndrainage facilities.\n\"This measure is another important step toward the preservation\nof Lake Tahoe's natural beauty,\" the governor said in signing the bill\n(AB 1279, by Assemblyman Gene Chappie, R-Cool).\n\"It will allow Tahoe City to complete the construction of\nneeded facilities to export sewage from the Lake Tahoe Basin by\nextending the system to the north and west shores of the lake,\" the\ngovernor said.\n####\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-17-70\n#459\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation which will\nallow authorized public agencies to use airspace above and under State\nfreeways for public transportation routes with the approval of the\nCalifornia Highway Commission.\nThe governor said the bill (AB 1890) by Assemblyman Henry\nArklin, R-Mission Hills, will provide local governmental agencies \"with\na tool to develop new approaches to ease our mass transportation\nproblems.\"\n#####\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE:\nmediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-17-70\n#460\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that will\npermit a trial to continue in a felony case if the defendant is\nremoved from the court because of disorderly and disruptive behavior.\nThe bill (SB 857) by Senator George Deukmejian of Long Beach,\nthe governor said, \"will prevent the accused from deliberately thwarting\nthe system of justice by actions that disrupt the court and demonstrate\ncontempt for our judicial process.\n\"In the past too often defendants in felony cases have\nconducted themselves in a manner that made it necessary for them to be\nremoved from the courtroom and under the existing law, the court had\nno alternative but to declare a mistrial,\" he said.\n####\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE:\nmmediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-17-70\n#461\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed two bills that will serve\nto tackle the problem of noise pollution.\nOne of the bills--SB 1108 by Senators Tom Carrell, D-San\nFernando, and Bob Lagomarsino, R.-Ventura--requires that environmental\nfactors be considered by the Department of Aeronautics in approving\nairport sites.\nThe bill would also require that public hearings be held\nbefore military airports are released for civilian use.\nThe second bill, AB 1512, by Assemblyman Hank Arklin, R-\nMission Hills, prohibits freeway construction that would create a noise\nproblem in adjacent public schools and authorizes the use of\nhighway funds to alleviate noise.\nIn signing the bills, the governor pointed out that California\nis the first state in the nation to attack the problem of noise\npollution.\n#####\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNO\nRELEASE: Im. diate\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n9-18-70\n#462\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has signed the\nfollowing bills:\nAB 96 - Ryan\nClarifies and extends the definitions of\n(Chapter 1225)\nschool district personnel for purposes of\nreporting to the Superintendent of Public\nInstruction regarding the ratio of teachers\nto administrative personnel and others.
