Also, welfare offices are reporting a great many calls for an explanation of why checks received are for amounts less than authorized by the new law. Accordingly, Governor Reagan today issued the following statement: "Due to hasty and uninformed court decisions in the last few days (including a feeble eleventh hour attempt by the State Supreme Court to correct its own error), the courts have succeeded in delaying welfare payments to thousands of needy recipients, preventing payment of deserved increases to thousands of others, and thoroughly confusing those responsible for administering the system at the state and county level as well as the public in general. "The resulting damage to the system, and resulting hardship and deprivation of the truly needy, will require a great deal of additional time, money and effort to correct. "I am confident that the official team, headed by Welfare Director Bob Carleson and the state and county welfare officials who had the tremendous task of implementing the Welfare Reform Act in only 45 days, can still bring about order and will, out of compassion for those who need the help, work around the clock to repair the damage. "Further bungling interference by the courts regardless of intentions, or honest errors, regardless of how soon they are corrected, will simply prolong the discomfort of those they purport to be protecting and will add unnecessary costs to the program." Secretary of Human Relations James M. Hall and Social Welfare Director Robert E. Carleson will be available to the press to answer inquiries on the above in the Press Lounge, Room 1178 at 4:30 P.M. today. # # # OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Imm liate Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-4-71 #543 Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills have been signed: AB 167 - Barnes Provides that the amount deducted from the (Chapter 855) refundable balance after termination of service under the State Teachers' Retirement System shall be appropriated to the State Teachers' Retirement System and credited to the system's General Fund support appropriation as a reimbursement for the fiscal year during which such amounts are deducted.

REASON FOR VETO: "When I vetoed a similar bill last year I expressed a concern that the creation of additional representation units could have an adverse effect on employee relations programs. I still have that concern. Approval of this bill would encourage other occupational groups to seek similar treatment and thus further fragment the number of representation units that government must bargain with. "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the governor said. SB 1596 - Rodda Extends the existing permissive school override tax for child nutrition programs to include preschool children's programs. REASON FOR VETO: "I strongly support local decision making and local control of public education in California. The constant pressure for additional permissive school tax overrides or the extention of such overrides erodes local control by taking from the voters the right to participate in the determination of spending priorities. I am taking this action reluctantly; however, I feel there must be an end to the practice of bypassing the voter in matters affecting the financing of programs at the district level. "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the governor said. ##### WAS -5- OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: In diate Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-4-71 # 544 The following is the text of a telegram sent by Governor Reagan to John Cantwell, Attorney at Law, representing Cemetery Management, and Maurice Fitzgerald, Business Representative for the Cemetery Workers and Greenskeepers Union: "On behalf of the citizens of the City of San Francisco and the Counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and particularl the families of the unburied dead, we propose that the distressing cemetery strike be resolved in the following fair and equitable manner: "That a tripartite arbitration panel be immediately formed, one member to be designated by the union, one member designated by the employers and the third member to be named from our statewide roster of qualified arbitrators in consultation with the supervisor of the State Conciliation Service.

Metheny, Jr., to a newly-created Riverside County Superior Court. Metheny, 49, a Republican, will receive an annual salary of $33,396. Prior to his appointment as Palm Springs City Attorney in 1966, he had served as a chief assistant city attorney of Pasadena, as a deputy Los Angeles County counsel and as a special agent with the F.B.I.

"I am astounded that the Democrats would put petty politics above the recognized need to improve our fight to preserve and enhance California's environment," he said. "In killing the reorganization, its opponents failed to note this was a positive approach to environmental protection. They also did not offer any substantive reasons why it should not have been approved. They apparently were not concerned with good government." The governor referred to action by Assembly Democrats which killed the administration's Reorganization Plan No. 3. The plan would have created a new Department of Environmental Protection within the Resources Agency. The agency itself would have been renamed the Environment and Resources Agency. "This plan would have enabled us to mobilize all state agencies to attack our pollution problems on a united front. "It would have consolidated within state government the top spokesmen and experts on our environment and would have given comprehensive coordination to the many agencies of state government now attacking the problem separately. "Our plan would have kept California ahead of federal environmental activities and would have provided positive action on future areas of concern such as solid waste management," the governor said. "It is very regrettable that some Democratic legislators, who continually pose as protectors of the environment until it comes time for them to take action instead of spouting rhetoric, put politics above the good of the public. "This administration is committed to protecting California's environment and making it a state we can proudly pass on to our children who rightfully expect us to give them a legacy of a clean land, clean air and clean water. "We will continue to keep that commitment. "Meanwhile, I sincerely hope that the Assembly Democrats will reconsider their ill-conceived action and put principle above petty politics," the governor said. ##### PB OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, Californ Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-5-71 #548 Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has vetoed AB 950 (Fong). In announcing the veto, the governor said: "This measure would remove from parents their right to consent to their children's participation in venereal disease instructions. "I am aware that venereal disease has reached epidemic proportions in many parts of this state. I agree with educators and public health officials that there is a pressing need for effective venereal disease education programs in our schools. Such education should continue and new programs should be developed. The issue of parental consent is no real barrier to the presentation of such instructional programs. "Existing law already permits venereal disease instruction in the public schools with prior parental approval. Parents should be able to retain this prerogative with respect to venereal disease education courses." # # # PB OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-4-71 The following statement was released by Paul Beck to the Capitol Press Corps by telephone following the conclusion of tax reform meetings between the governor and legislative leadership: "We appear to be getting close but we cannot accept any plan that does not contain an absolute guarantee that tax relief for the homeower be permanent. "They had better make up their minds if they really want tax reform. We do." # # # OFFICE OF THE GOVERNO RELEASE: mediate Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-6-71 #549 Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of James L.

Governor Reagan has vetoed the following bill: SB 855 - Song Prohibits prosecution of felonies if not tried within 60 days after arraignment unless the prosecution can prove "good cause" for such delay. REASON FOR VETO: "It is highly doubtful whether this measure, presented as a court reform bill, will accomplish any reduction in court delay. There will probably be a good deal of litigation to determine what amounts to "good cause" when the prosecution seeks to refile a charge which was dismissed because the case did not proceed to trial within the 60 day period. More important, the bill misplaces the cause for trial court delay upon the prosecution. Almost all of the continuances granted in criminal cases are granted by the court at the request of the defendant or on the court's own motion because of insufficient courts in which to proceed. "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," = the governor said. # # # # -4- WAS GOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE October 8, 1971 through October 23, 1971 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8 A.M.

In signing the order, he said, "It is incumbent upon public servants to guarantee and guard the right of every person in our state to pursue the fulfillment of his or her capabilities without fear of discrimination or prejudice." The governor stated that time and experience have proven that laws and edicts alone are not enough. Justice demands that every citizen consciously adopt and accentuate a personal commitment to affirmative action which will make equal opportunity a thriving and visible reality. Reagan has pledged his commitment both as a citizen and as chief executive of the State of California to this end. ###### PB State of California Memorandum To : AGENCY SECRETARIES, DEPARTMENT Date : September 23, 1971 DIRECTORS, AND EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS Subject: California Code of Fair Practices From : Governor's Office As both a citizen and Chief Executive of the State of California, I believe it imperative that public servants, who serve all the citizens of our state, continue to step-up their efforts to insure equal treatment to all persons and to correct any past inequities. It is incumbent upon us to guarantee and guard the right of every person in our state to pursue the fulfillment of his or her capabilities without discrimination or prejudice. Laws have been enacted and edicts issued to prohibit discrimina- tion in employment, housing, schools, public accommodations and all other places of business; but these are not enough. Justice demands that every citizen consciously adopt and accentuate a personal commitment to affirmative action which will make equal opportunity a reality. To increase this effort I am issuing an Executive Order to redefine the existing Code of Fair Practices for the State of California in a manner which will emphasize equal opportunity and fair practice in all activities of the state. Please post the attached Code of Fair Practices to insure widest distribution to all personnel in your department. Sincerely, Racard Reagne RONALD REAGAN Governor CALIFORNIA CODE OF FAIR PRACTICES As the 33rd Governor of California, I believe it imperative that we, the servants of all the citizens of our State, continue to exert every effort to correct any inequities which heretofore may have been, or may in the future be imposed on a person simply because that person differs in some way from the majority. That we guarantee and guard the right of every person in our State to enjoy to his or her fullest capability the birthrights of our democracy without discrimination or prejudice. To this end this State has enacted laws to prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, schools, public accommodations, and all other places of business. Time and experience have proven that laws and edicts are not enough. Justice demands that every citizen consciously adopt and accentuate a personal and public commitment to affirmative action which will make equal opportunity a reality. To meet my personal commitment and the obligation of our State and under the authority vested in me by the Constitution, I hereby affirm the following Code of Fair Practices to be the official policy of the Executive Branch of the State of California. -2- ARTICLE I. POLICY DECLARATION Equal opportunity for all citizens is the policy of the State of California in all of its activities. Employees shall rigorously enforce that policy. They shall take any or all affirmative action necessary to assure equality of opportunity in the internal affairs of state government and in its rela- tions with the general public, including correction of any past inequity which may tend to deny equal opportunity to all. ARTICLE II. PERSONNEL POLICIES OF STATE AGENCIES State officials and supervisory employees shall recruit, appoint, assign, train, evaluate, and promote state personnel on the basis of merit and fitness, without regard to race, sex, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry. All state agencies shall promulgate clear, written directives to carry out this policy and to guarantee equal employment opportunities at all levels of state government. They shall regularly review their personnel practices to assure compliance. Where existing staffing patterns reflect less than complete adherence, they shall determine the cause, and if necessary, initiate special recruitment programs to correct the situation. They shall conduct continuing orientation and training programs with emphasis on human relations and fair employment practices. The State Personnel Board shall take positive steps to insure that the entire civil service process is free from conscious, unconscious, or inadvertent bias of any kind. -3- ARTICLE III. SERVICES AND FACILITIES All services of every state agency shall be performed without discrimination based on race, sex, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry. No state facility shall be used in furtherance of any discriminatory practice, nor shall any state agency become a party to any agreement, arrangement, or plan which has the effect of sanctioning such practices. Each state agency shall critically analyze all of its operations to ascertain possible instances of noncompliance with this policy, and shall instigate sustained, comprehensive affirma- tive action programs to remedy any defects found to exist. ARTICLE IV. CONTRACTS AND SUBCONTRACTS Every state contract and subcontract for public works or for goods or services shall contain a clause prohibiting dis- criminatory employment practices by contractors and subcon- tractors based on race, sex, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry. The nondiscrimination clause shall include a provision requiring state contractors and subcontractors to give written notice of their commitments under this clause to any labor union with which they have a collective bargaining or other agreement and to undertake such affirmative action as will fully implement the purposes of this Code of Fair Practices. Such contractual provisions shall be fully and effectively enforced, and any breach of them shall be regarded as a material breach of the contract. Annually, each state agency shall submit to the Governor certification of compliance with these provisions by all contractors and subcontractors. -4- ARTICLE V. STATE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES All state agencies, including educational institutions, which provide employment referral or placement services to public or private employers shall accept job orders only on a nondiscriminatory basis, except where such services are clearly and explicitly for the purpose of correcting an imbalance. They shall reject any job order designed to exclude any member of a minority group because of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry. They shall advise the Fair Employment Practice Commission of employers or unions known to persist in restrictive hiring practices. They shall assist employers and unions seeking to broaden their recruit- ment programs to include qualified applicants of various racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. In addition, the Department of Human Resources Development shall fully utilize its know- ledge of the labor market, and contracts with job applicants, employers, and unions for promotion of equal employment opportunities. ARTICLE VI. STATE FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE COMMISSION All state agencies shall cooperate fully with the Fair Employment Practice Commission on its enforcement and educa- tional programs. They shall comply with its requests for information concerning practices found to be, or alleged to be, inconsistent with the state policy of nondiscrimination, and they shall follow its recommendations for giving effect to that policy. In addition to discharging its enforcement duties, the -5- Commission shall place emphasis on programs of affirmative action in the field of human rights. ARTICLE VII. EDUCATION, COUNSELING, AND TRAINING PROGRAMS All educational, counseling, and vocational guidance pro- grams and all apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs of state agencies, or in which state agencies participate, shall be open to all qualified persons, without regard to race, sex, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry. Such pro- grams shall be conducted to encourage the fullest development of the interests, aptitudes, skills, and capacities of all students and trainees, with special attention to the problems of culturally deprived, educationally handicapped, or economically disadvantaged persons. Expansion of training opportunities under these programs shall also be encouraged with a view toward involving larger numbers of participants from these segments of the labor force where the need for upgrading levels of skill is greatest.

Carroll, Los Angeles attorney and civic leader, and the reappointment of Charles V. Cummins, Ontario drug company president, to the California State Board of Pharmacy in the Department of Consumer Affairs.

However, I am vetoing this bill because it imposes on the Los Angeles School District a structure and procedures which are opposed by the Los Angeles Board of Education and by its Superintendent of Schools. It is not appropriate for the state to interfere in local school affairs against the will of those who immediately represent the citizens and at a time when the district is working out a decentralization plan, a major part of which is the operation of school-community advisory councils in each school.

" The legislation by Senator Robert J. Lagomarsino (R-Ojai) prospectively reverses a California Supreme Court decision which held that if a property owner continued to allow the unchecked use of his land by the public for five years or more, it could constitute an implied dedication of the land to the public. "This bill establishes a responsible balance between public and private property rights and should assure the continued use of access to beaches, streams and forests by the public," Reinecke said. ##### WAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, Californi Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-13-71 #568 Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today signed legislation (SB 168) that provides the issuance of $160 million in bonds for community college construction, site acquisition and equipment and calls for a special bond issue election to be consolidated with the November, 1972 general election.

"In addition to protecting these game fish, this measure will require those who would divert these streams to pay for construction and maintenance costs of the diversion project.

"In addition to providing effective controls against one of the three emissions which contribute to smog, it reduces the expected useful life for a used car device from 50,000 to 30,000 miles and requires that the total cost for all devices approved for these cars cannot exceed $65." ##### WAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERN RELEASE: mediate Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-13-71 #572 Acting Governor Ed Reinecke has signed legislation that will protect consumers from paying for defective products when a third party with no responsibility holds the sales contract. The measure, (SB 532) provides "long overdue protection for the buyer who has been required to continue paying for an inferior product when the person who sold it to him has no responsibility to make things right. "Under previous laws, a man could, for example, buy a second-hand car from a dealer on credit, take the car back and be told that the sales contract had been sold to a third party.

"State Social Welfare Director Robert Carleson informed me this morning that as a result of the administrative actions and regulatory changes undertaken by his department since the first of the year, along with the strong emphasis our administration has placed on overhauling the state's welfare system, California's welfare rolls have now declined for the sixth month in a row. This contrasts sharply with what is happening in other states across the nation where soaring welfare caseloads continue on the upswing, "The figures show that during the month of September, there were nearly 10,000 fewer Californians on welfare than in August, and 115,008 less than we counted on the rolls a half year ago, "Had the Reagan administration not pressed vigorously for welfare reform had we not instituted administrative reforms wherever and wheneve possible our projections show there would be over 300,000 more people on welfare than there are now. "I want to emphasize that the six-month drop in the number on welfare reflects only the administrative reforms we have put into effect. The impact of California's new welfare reform law will not be felt until November or December. "It is worth noting that last month the number of recipients on county financed general relief decreased by more than 3,000 in spite of earlier claims of some that any decrease in state funded welfare programs would automatically push more recipients onto county relief rolls. "The fact is, the total general relief caseload in the state has been reduced twenty percent over the past six months. "Even if the declining trend we have established begins to level out in the months ahead, the fact that we in California have been able to confound the so-called welfare experts who said it couldn't be done for six straight months reaffirms our strong conviction that the approach we have taken to bring welfare back under control is sound, that it really works, and points the way to true reform." #### EJG State of California Department of Social Welfare Human Relations Agency Management Information Systems October 19, 1971 PUBLIC ASSISTANCE CASELOADS AND EXPENDITURES September 1971 Aid Recipients Payments Program Sept. p/ Aug. p/ Sept.

I urge the legislature to address itself to solving this fundamental problem before it attempts to further amend an inequitable law.

His statement will be limited to the U.N., he will not accept questions, and he will return to his private office immediately after giving the statement. ###### PB OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-26-71 #592 Governor Ronald Reagan, in what he called "one of the most difficult decisions I have made during my term of office," today vetoed the so-called "Cling Peach Bill." In his veto message, the governor said: "I am fully aware of the economic distress of cling peach growers caused by overproduction. I know that many of them regard this bill as a way out of their dilemma. "Yet, I am convinced that any short-run advantage gained from SB 522 would be far outweighed by its long-term detrimental effects on the cling peach industry itself, on California agriculture generally and on the economy of the State. "The bill would authorize acreage certificates to limit the number of acres from which cling peaches may be marketed. This type of interference with a free market is undesirable and it will not work, except perhaps temporarily. "Prospective new growers would be limited to no more than a total of 500 acres annually, although the bill ostensibly makes 500 acres the minimum rather than the maximum. This is a restraint of free enterprise with which this administration cannot agree. "An arbitrary curb on production, if reflected in a higher price for the end product, could intensify and encourage competition both at home and abroad from foreign cling peach canners and from other canned fruits. This would inflict great economic harm on California peach growers. "The bill has other specific defects, such as the unrealistic requirement that findings be made of the estimated supply and market demand for three years in advance of the current marketing season. "For these reasons, I feel that I must veto SB 522. This is with full recognition of the many economic problems plaguing the industry. Many cling peach growers have suffered considerable economic hardship and are in need of help to develop solutions for improved stability. To this end I am asking our Director of Agriculture, Jerry Fielder, to meet with cling peach industry representatives to seek other methods of solving the economic problems of producers. "Our objective is to seek long range and lasting solutions to this type of problem."

Governor Reagan has also announced the veto of the following bills: AB 115 - Deddeh Declares legislative intent that proper steps be taken to identify and provide special training for limited-English speaking pupils. The bill specifies the content of elementary and secondary school programs to aid such pupils and establishes standards for the personnel involved in such programs. REASON FOR VETO: "Our state has always included those who come from many nations. The education of some has been handicapped because of lack of proficiency in the English language. One important approach to helping those who are language handicapped in their educational achievement is an effective system of bilingual instruction. "I am vetoing this particular bilingual education bill because I feel it is imperative that we direct programs in a manner which will most effectively insure that our language handicapped students achieve their full potential in the shortest period of time. "AB 115 offers uncertainties in our quest for the above objective. It mandates that all school districts establish bilingual education programs and that these programs include mathematics, science and social science taught in the foreign language native to all English handicapped students. This would be done before we know the true dimension of the problem and the teaching resources available. We know there are over a half million Spanish speaking children alone in our state, some of whom are not proficient in English. We also know there are a limited number of teachers trained to serve the needs of foreign language speaking youngsters so as to bridge educational deficiencies where they exist. "Assembly Bill 115 would not provide school districts with the flexibility to employ their resources to the highest and best use. We should recognize that at the present time there are over $8 million in federal funds being spent by California school districts each in its own way exploring solutions to bilingual prob- lems. The Department of Education has properly established a Bilingual-Bicultural Task Force to evaluate and to learn from existing programs. This task force has not completed its mission, It is working on a Master Plan to cope with bilingual and bicultural deficiencies. It is hoped that the plan will offer goals for districts and will inventory teaching personnel and curriculum resources available. -3- #594 AB 115 "The executive and legislative branches of government REASON FOR VETO: should have the information this group is gathering (Continued) and the advice of the Department of Education before investing the limited tax resources available for this worthy and high objective. "Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned,' the governor said. AB 550 - Foran Provides a yearly allowance of $150 for uniforms, revolvers and distinctive accessories of California Highway Patrol members, payable upon proof of purchase. The bill appropriates $850,000 from the Motor Vehicle Fund to finance such allowances. REASON FOR VETO: "Although the appropriation in the bill from the Motor Vehicle Fund would represent current fiscal year costs, it should be pointed out that should this bill become law, a like amount would have to be reflected in the Highway Patrol's budget for each successive year, since the bill calls for an annual uniform allowance. The budgeted amount would also have to reflect any future increase in the uniformed strength of the Patrol. "While I am concerned over this substantial increase in State government costs, I believe a more basic policy question is raised by this bill. Providing for the cost of uniform allowances for state employees should not be approachedon a segmented basis. "Additionally, I believe any decision on uniform requirements and allowances for state employees should await careful consideration of the recommendations made by the legislative analyst in his report prepared pursuant to Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 62 (Res. Chapter 67). In that report, the analyst recommends that the State Personnel Board conduct a detailed review of the entire subject of state employee uniform requirements, and that any action to provide uniform allowances prior to this review and resulting recommendations would be premature "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the governor said. AB 790 - Brown Makes the University of California and the California State Colleges subject to the Government Code provision relating to payroll deductions. REASON FOR VETO: "AB 790 is unnecessary inasmuch as the California State Colleges and the University of California already provide for payroll deductions for their academic and nonacademic employees. "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned, the governor said. # # # # # WAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, Californ Contact: Paul Bec 445-4571 10-28-71 #595 Governor Ronald Reagan today met with State Superintendent of Public Instruction Wilson Riles, Henry Gunderson, President of the State Board of Education, and Dr. Louis Saylor, Director of the State Department of Public Health, to discuss California's venereal disease epidemic They agreed that no changes in existing state law are necessary to institute a series of guidelines aimed at accelerating anti-VD instruction programs in public schools across the state. The governor, in pledging the full resources of his administration to assist the State Board of Education and Riles' State Department of Education in the establishment of such guidelines, said they "will help school districts and schools which have not already done so to begin venereal disease instruction immediately. "We agreed that there is, right now, clearly enough authority in the law to initiate a crash program to combat VD, " he said. "The fact that parents must be notified in advance should not inhibit or hinder putting such vital instruction as this into effect immediately. As a matter of fact parental notification should assist the student because the parents will be familiar with the educational program. "The new guidelines will make perfectly clear the ways in which our public schools can provide anti-VD instruction quickly and responsibly without violating the intent of any present provisions of the law," the governor said. ###### EJG OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-28-71 #596 Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that will make it a crime to advocate the killing or injuring of a law enforcement officer. Part of the governor's anti-crime program, the bill (SB 482 by Senator Robert J. Lagomarsino, R-Ventura) makes it a felony if the officer is harmed and a misdemeanor if he is not harmed. "There is no doubt that the man who wears the badge has become the number one target of those who would destroy our society. This legislation serves notice on the criminal and the revolutionary alike that Californians recognize the responsibility we have to protect those brave men who place their lives on the line to protect us," the governor said. ###### WAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERN RELEASE: Imm diate Sacramento, Californ Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-29-71 #597 Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of Jack C.

Zumbrun 445-0633 October 29, 1971 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE State Social Welfare Director Robert B. Carleson today hailed a decision by the State Third District Court of Appeal overruling the action of a Sacramento Superior Court Judge who attempted to block the implementation of a major provision of California's new welfare reform law. In effect, the Appellate Court today removed from the jurisdiction of Superior Court Judge William M. Gallagher's court any further judi- cial action on that part of the massive Welfare Reform Act which requires adult children to contribute to the support of their needy, aged parents. Carleson praised today's appellate court ruling as "bringing us a step closer toward removing the uncertainty and confusion" which resulted from a restraining order issued October 14 by Judge Gallagher. "Now we can get on with implementing this part of the new welfare reform law which was passed overwhelmingly by both houses of the legislature and signed by the governor August 13. "We have been deeply concerned," Carleson said, "about the issuance of temporary restraining orders by the courts without providing prior notice to the state---hence effectively denying the state any opportunity to fully present its side of the issue. Such orders cause tremendous confusion, not only at state and county administrative levels, but also among welfare recipients themselves." Carleson noted that on October 14, five hours after the State Attorney General had filed an affidavit to disqualify Judge Gallagher from conducting any further proceedings on this provision of the new welfare reform law, Judge Gallagher chose to ignore the affidavit and issued a temporary restraining order anyway. The Attorney General's affidavit stated that Judge Gallagher was "prejudiced against the interest of" the state and that a "fair and impartial trial or hearing before such judge" was not possible. -1- One week later, + Attorney General argued fore the appellate court that Gallagher's court had "prejudicially abused its discretion, and acted contrary to law in entering and filing the October 14 re- straining order and order to show cause, in that the Honorable William M. Gallagher was disqualified from executing and causing to be filed the restraining order and order to show cause, by virtue of the previous motion for disqualification." The appellate court ruling today stayed Judge Gallagher's earlier action and restrained the Sacramento County Superior Court from "all further proceedings. If also The Appellate Court decision/ordered the Sacramento Superior Court to show cause before the Third District Court of Appeal in its Sacramento courtroom, Wednesday, January 19, 1972 as to why the relief sought by the state should not be granted.

REASON FOR DELETION: "I am reducing the appropriation contained in Senate Bill No. 166 from $956,000 to $640,000. "The State Personnel Board estimates that $640.000 will be needed for night shift differential payments for the period November 15, 1971 through June 30, 1972. The reduced appropriation reflects the Personnel Board's estimate. "With the above reduction, I have approved SB 166," the governor said. -4- #600 Governor Ronald Reagan has announced the Veto of the following bills: SB 679 - Stevens Replaces the Director of General Services with the Director of Finance on the State Board of Control and makes the Controller the chairman thereof, rather than the Director of General Services. REASON FOR VETO: "The Department of General Services was established to administer many of the housekeeping functions of the State and to relieve the Director of Finance of the statutory assignments to many boards and commissions. This bill would reverse this policy decision and restore the Director of Finance to membership on the Board of Control. "The types of claims and other action items coming before the Board of Control fit most closely with the statutory responsibilities carried by the Director of General Services and make him especially well qualified to make decisions on these issues. "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the governor said. SB 1338 - Wedworth Permits Medi-Cal providers to assign receipts from health care claims to third parties no earlier than 30 days after submission of claims to fiscal intermediaries. REASON FOR VETO: "There has not been any real need demonstrated for this proposal which would introduce an unnecessary complexity into the accounting for and payment of Medi-Cal claims, requiring additional personnel and increased administrative costs. "The bill is written so that all Medi-Cal providers could have all their recurring expenses, such as telephone bills, gas bills, etc., paid through assignment and would thus shift their bookkeeping costs to the fiscal intermediaries and ultimately to the State and the general taxpayer. "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the governor said. PeTRis SB 861 - Kennick Makes several amendments to the Health and Safety Code provisions relating to the management and operation of local housing authorities. It expands the definition of the term "housing project' The bill requires housing authorities to include one tenant as a commissioner. The bill also requires a written statement of reasonable cause for eviction and a grievance procedure before any eviction action is filed. The bill also makes changes relating to the right of entry of a tenants dwelling, tenant liability for damage to a dwelling, requirement for public notices, waiting lista, and a requirement that certain documents be translated into languages other than English in certain cases. REASON FOR VETO: "My principal concern with SB 861 is the provision that mandates the appointment of a housing authority tenant as one of the commissioners of that authority. While I have no objections to a tenant being appointed as a member of an appointive housing authority, I believe that local governmental jurisdictions should have maximum latitude and flexibility in appointing such members. Senate Bill 861 would, if enacted, remove that flexibility by mandating tenant membership. "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," " the governor said. -5- #600 AB 2155 - Knox Clarifies what Election Code violations constitute grounds for ineligibility to register to vote. REASON FOR VETO: AB 2155 apparently seeks to reflect the decision of the California Supreme Court in Otsuka V. Hite (1966). The court in that case discussed the type of crimes that would constitute a threat to the integrity of the elective process' for the purpose of determining eligibility to register to vote, The Hite decision did not limit such offenses to violations of the Elections Code. "Any statutory guidelines developed to aid county clerks in the uniform administration of this part of the elcetion law should include those other crimes that also constitute "a threat to the integrity of the elective process.' "Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the governor said. AB 2891 - Crown Appropriates $1,200,000 for the support of services to physically handicapped children. REASON FOR VETO: "Over $11.5 million has been appropriated during the current fiscal year for the Crippled Childrens Service program. AB 2891 seeks to augment that appropriation. I feel that it is inappropriate to further augment this program at this time. "Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned," the governor said. ### WAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MEMO TO THE PRESS Sacramento, Californi Contact: Paul Beck 445-4571 10-29-71 #601 GOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE November 1, 1971 through November 7, 1971 Monday, November 1 Office appointments Overnight - Sacramento Tuesday, November 2 Office appointments Overnight - Sacramento Wednesday, November 3 Office appointments Overnight - Sacramento Thursday, November 4 Afternoon Depart for Los Angeles 6:00 p.m. Taping of David Frost Show, KTTV Studio, 5746 Sunset Boulevard Overnight - Los Angeles Friday, November 5 Afternoon Depart for Seattle Evening Republican Fund Raiser, Olympic Hotel Overnight - Sacramento Saturday, November 6 No appointments scheduled Overnight - Sacramento Sunday, November 7 No appointments scheduled Overnight - Sacramento # # # PB OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Imr diate Sacramento, Californ.

Also, welfare offices are\nreporting a great many calls for an explanation of why checks received\nare for amounts less than authorized by the new law.\nAccordingly, Governor Reagan today issued the following statement:\n\"Due to hasty and uninformed court decisions in the last few days\n(including a feeble eleventh hour attempt by the State Supreme Court\nto correct its own error), the courts have succeeded in delaying\nwelfare payments to thousands of needy recipients, preventing payment\nof deserved increases to thousands of others, and thoroughly confusing\nthose responsible for administering the system at the state and county\nlevel as well as the public in general.\n\"The resulting damage to the system, and resulting hardship and\ndeprivation of the truly needy, will require a great deal of additional\ntime, money and effort to correct.\n\"I am confident that the official team, headed by Welfare Director\nBob Carleson and the state and county welfare officials who had the\ntremendous task of implementing the Welfare Reform Act in only 45 days,\ncan still bring about order and will, out of compassion for those who\nneed the help, work around the clock to repair the damage.\n\"Further bungling interference by the courts regardless of\nintentions, or honest errors, regardless of how soon they are corrected,\nwill simply prolong the discomfort of those they purport to be\nprotecting and will add unnecessary costs to the program.\"\nSecretary of Human Relations James M.

They also did not\noffer any substantive reasons why it should not have been approved. They\napparently were not concerned with good government.\"\nThe governor referred to action by Assembly Democrats which killed\nthe administration's Reorganization Plan No. 3. The plan would have\ncreated a new Department of Environmental Protection within the Resources\nAgency. The agency itself would have been renamed the Environment and\nResources Agency.\n\"This plan would have enabled us to mobilize all state agencies to\nattack our pollution problems on a united front.\n\"It would have consolidated within state government the top\nspokesmen and experts on our environment and would have given\ncomprehensive coordination to the many agencies of state government now\nattacking the problem separately.\n\"Our plan would have kept California ahead of federal environmental\nactivities and would have provided positive action on future areas of\nconcern such as solid waste management,\" the governor said.\n\"It is very regrettable that some Democratic legislators, who\ncontinually pose as protectors of the environment until it comes time for\nthem to take action instead of spouting rhetoric, put politics above the\ngood of the public.\n\"This administration is committed to protecting California's\nenvironment and making it a state we can proudly pass on to our children\nwho rightfully expect us to give them a legacy of a clean land, clean air\nand clean water.\n\"We will continue to keep that commitment.\n\"Meanwhile, I sincerely hope that the Assembly Democrats will\nreconsider their ill-conceived action and put principle above petty\npolitics,\" the governor said.\n#####\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californ\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n10-5-71\n#548\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has vetoed AB 950\n(Fong).\nIn announcing the veto, the governor said:\n\"This measure would remove from parents their right to consent to\ntheir children's participation in venereal disease instructions.\n\"I am aware that venereal disease has reached epidemic proportions\nin many parts of this state. I agree with educators and public health\nofficials that there is a pressing need for effective venereal disease\neducation programs in our schools.

It is incumbent upon us to guarantee and guard the\nright of every person in our state to pursue the fulfillment of\nhis or her capabilities without discrimination or prejudice.\nLaws have been enacted and edicts issued to prohibit discrimina-\ntion in employment, housing, schools, public accommodations and\nall other places of business; but these are not enough. Justice\ndemands that every citizen consciously adopt and accentuate a\npersonal commitment to affirmative action which will make equal\nopportunity a reality.\nTo increase this effort I am issuing an Executive Order to redefine\nthe existing Code of Fair Practices for the State of California in\na manner which will emphasize equal opportunity and fair practice\nin all activities of the state.\nPlease post the attached Code of Fair Practices to insure widest\ndistribution to all personnel in your department.\nSincerely,\nRacard Reagne\nRONALD REAGAN\nGovernor\nCALIFORNIA CODE OF FAIR PRACTICES\nAs the 33rd Governor of California, I believe it imperative\nthat we, the servants of all the citizens of our State, continue\nto exert every effort to correct any inequities which heretofore\nmay have been, or may in the future be imposed on a person simply\nbecause that person differs in some way from the majority. That\nwe guarantee and guard the right of every person in our State to\nenjoy to his or her fullest capability the birthrights of our\ndemocracy without discrimination or prejudice. To this end this\nState has enacted laws to prohibit discrimination in employment,\nhousing, schools, public accommodations, and all other places of\nbusiness.\nTime and experience have proven that laws and edicts are\nnot enough. Justice demands that every citizen consciously adopt\nand accentuate a personal and public commitment to affirmative\naction which will make equal opportunity a reality.\nTo meet my personal commitment and the obligation of our\nState and under the authority vested in me by the Constitution,\nI hereby affirm the following Code of Fair Practices to be the\nofficial policy of the Executive Branch of the State of\nCalifornia.\n-2-\nARTICLE I.

This contrasts sharply with what is happening\nin other states across the nation where soaring welfare caseloads continue\non the upswing,\n\"The figures show that during the month of September, there were\nnearly 10,000 fewer Californians on welfare than in August, and 115,008\nless than we counted on the rolls a half year ago,\n\"Had the Reagan administration not pressed vigorously for welfare\nreform had we not instituted administrative reforms wherever and wheneve\npossible our projections show there would be over 300,000 more people\non welfare than there are now.\n\"I want to emphasize that the six-month drop in the number on\nwelfare reflects only the administrative reforms we have put into effect.\nThe impact of California's new welfare reform law will not be felt until\nNovember or December.\n\"It is worth noting that last month the number of recipients on\ncounty financed general relief decreased by more than 3,000 in spite of\nearlier claims of some that any decrease in state funded welfare programs\nwould automatically push more recipients onto county relief rolls.\n\"The fact is, the total general relief caseload in the state has been\nreduced twenty percent over the past six months.\n\"Even if the declining trend we have established begins to level out\nin the months ahead, the fact that we in California have been able to\nconfound the so-called welfare experts who said it couldn't be done for\nsix straight months reaffirms our strong conviction that the approach\nwe have taken to bring welfare back under control is sound, that it really\nworks, and points the way to true reform.\"\n####\nEJG\nState of California\nDepartment of Social Welfare\nHuman Relations Agency\nManagement Information Systems\nOctober 19, 1971\nPUBLIC ASSISTANCE CASELOADS AND EXPENDITURES\nSeptember 1971\nAid Recipients\nPayments\nProgram\nSept. p/\nAug. p/\nSept.\nSept. p/\nAug. p/\nSept.\n1971\n1971\n1970\n1971\n1971\n1970\nGrand total.\n2,178,569\n2,188,135\n2,046,100\n$158,602,920\n$162,268,608\n$143,274,336\nCash grant recipients\n2,096,716\n2,103,220\n1,944,473\n154,621,730\n157,830,493\n139,009,683\nGeneral home relief\n81,853\n84,915\n101,627\n3,981,190\n4,438,115\n4,264,653\nAveragea/\nAGED PERSONS\nCash grant recipients\n317,976\n318,201\n318,652\n106.19\n106.42\n107.01\nBLIND PERSONS (AB/APSB)\nCash grant recipients\n14,005\n14,123\n13,869\n150.69\n154.53\n154.24\nDISABLED PERSONS\nCash grant recipients\n190,872\n190,289\n179,887\n128.87\n129.00\n124.83\nFAMILIES WITH\nDEPENDENT CHILDREN\nCash grant recipients:\nFamily groups:\nchildren\n931,999\n925,734\n839,953\n80.70\n83.12\n76.09\ncases\n393,309\n389,518\n341,307\n191.22\n197.53\n187.27\ntotal persons\n1,295,224\n1,287,313\n1,173,601\n58.07\n59.77\n54.46\nUnemployed cases:\nchildren\n149,751\n157,447\n136,732\n81.27\n84.29\n73.54\ncases\n53,907\n55,819\n46,572\n225.76\n237.77\n215.92\ntotal persons\n244,627\n259,358\n224,940\n49.75\n51.17\n44.70\nBoarding Homes and\nInstitutions:\nchildren\n34,012\n33,936\n33,524\n161.94\n167.38\n151.28\nGENERAL HOME RELIEF\nTotal persons\n81,853\n84,915\n101,627\n48.64\n52.26\n41.96\nFamily cases\n10,406\n10,909\n16,171\n56,15\n62.14\n67.10\nPersons in family cases\n33,289\n35,252\n61,174\n17.55\n19.23\n17.74\nOne-person cases\n48,564\n49,663\n40,453\n69.95\n75.71\n78.60\nUnemployed in labor force (%)\n5.9\n6.9\n5.8\nXXX\nXXX\nXXX\n(Seasonally adjusted)\n(7.1)\n(7.0)\n(7.0)\nXXX\nXXX\nXXX\nCivilian population (excluding\nmilitary)\n20,041,500\n20,016,300\n19,767,200\nXXX\nXXX\nXXX\nCash grant averages for adult aids computed from \"net\" person counts.\nb/ Excludes U cases.\np/ Preliminary.\nCALIFORNIA NELFARE RECIPIENTS\n2.5\n2.4\n2.4\n2.3\nUNREFORMED\n22\nMILLIONS OF PEOPLE\n2.1\n2.1\nACTUAL\n20\n1.9\n18\n0\nJUL Ave SEP OCT Nov DEC JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL Ave SEP\n1970\n1971\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californi\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n10-20-71\n#584\nActing Governor Ed Reinecke today asked the federal government\nto make funds available to prevent flood damage for fire ravaged areas\nin Santa Barbara County.\nIn a telegram to Office of Emergency Preparedness Director George\nA.

I know that many of them regard this bill as\na way out of their dilemma.\n\"Yet, I am convinced that any short-run advantage gained\nfrom SB 522 would be far outweighed by its long-term detrimental effects\non the cling peach industry itself, on California agriculture generally\nand on the economy of the State.\n\"The bill would authorize acreage certificates to limit the\nnumber of acres from which cling peaches may be marketed. This type\nof interference with a free market is undesirable and it will not work,\nexcept perhaps temporarily.\n\"Prospective new growers would be limited to no more than a\ntotal of 500 acres annually, although the bill ostensibly makes 500\nacres the minimum rather than the maximum. This is a restraint of\nfree enterprise with which this administration cannot agree.\n\"An arbitrary curb on production, if reflected in a higher\nprice for the end product, could intensify and encourage competition both\nat home and abroad from foreign cling peach canners and from other canned\nfruits. This would inflict great economic harm on California peach\ngrowers.\n\"The bill has other specific defects, such as the unrealistic\nrequirement that findings be made of the estimated supply and market\ndemand for three years in advance of the current marketing season.\n\"For these reasons, I feel that I must veto SB 522. This is\nwith full recognition of the many economic problems plaguing the industry.\nMany cling peach growers have suffered considerable economic hardship and\nare in need of help to develop solutions for improved stability. To this\nend I am asking our Director of Agriculture, Jerry Fielder, to meet with\ncling peach industry representatives to seek other methods of solving\nthe economic problems of producers.\n\"Our objective is to seek long range and lasting solutions to\nthis type of problem.\"\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n10-27-71\n#593\nFollowing is the text of a telegram sent by Governor Reagan\nto President Chiang Kai-Shek of the Republic of China:\n\"Mrs. Reagan and I want you to know how deeply shocked and\ndisappointed we were by the completely immoral action of the General\nAssembly of the United Nations.\n\"I have told the President of my displeasure at what can only\nbe described as the moral bankruptcy of an organization now reduced\nto the level of a kangaroo court.\"\n# # #\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californ\nContact:\nPaul Bec\n445-4571\n10-28-71\n#594\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills have\nbeen signed:\nAB 426 - Burton\nExtends the time period to 35 years in which the\nChapter 1253\nCity and County of San Francisco must issue bonds\nfor harbor purposes and lowers the minimum amount\nof such bonds to $25,000,000.

The bill specifies\nthe content of elementary and secondary school programs\nto aid such pupils and establishes standards for the\npersonnel involved in such programs.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"Our state has always included those who come from\nmany nations. The education of some has been\nhandicapped because of lack of proficiency in the\nEnglish language. One important approach to helping\nthose who are language handicapped in their educational\nachievement is an effective system of bilingual\ninstruction.\n\"I am vetoing this particular bilingual education bill\nbecause I feel it is imperative that we direct\nprograms in a manner which will most effectively insure\nthat our language handicapped students achieve their\nfull potential in the shortest period of time.\n\"AB 115 offers uncertainties in our quest for the\nabove objective. It mandates that all school\ndistricts establish bilingual education programs and\nthat these programs include mathematics, science and\nsocial science taught in the foreign language native\nto all English handicapped students. This would be\ndone before we know the true dimension of the problem\nand the teaching resources available. We know there\nare over a half million Spanish speaking children\nalone in our state, some of whom are not proficient\nin English. We also know there are a limited number\nof teachers trained to serve the needs of foreign\nlanguage speaking youngsters so as to bridge\neducational deficiencies where they exist.\n\"Assembly Bill 115 would not provide school districts\nwith the flexibility to employ their resources to the\nhighest and best use. We should recognize that at\nthe present time there are over $8 million in federal\nfunds being spent by California school districts each\nin its own way exploring solutions to bilingual prob-\nlems. The Department of Education has properly\nestablished a Bilingual-Bicultural Task Force to\nevaluate and to learn from existing programs. This\ntask force has not completed its mission, It is\nworking on a Master Plan to cope with bilingual and\nbicultural deficiencies. It is hoped that the plan\nwill offer goals for districts and will inventory\nteaching personnel and curriculum resources available.\n-3-\n#594\nAB 115\n\"The executive and legislative branches of government\nREASON FOR VETO:\nshould have the information this group is gathering\n(Continued)\nand the advice of the Department of Education before\ninvesting the limited tax resources available for\nthis worthy and high objective.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned,' the\ngovernor said.\nAB 550 - Foran\nProvides a yearly allowance of $150 for uniforms,\nrevolvers and distinctive accessories of California\nHighway Patrol members, payable upon proof of purchase.\nThe bill appropriates $850,000 from the Motor Vehicle\nFund to finance such allowances.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"Although the appropriation in the bill from the Motor\nVehicle Fund would represent current fiscal year costs,\nit should be pointed out that should this bill become\nlaw, a like amount would have to be reflected in the\nHighway Patrol's budget for each successive year, since\nthe bill calls for an annual uniform allowance. The\nbudgeted amount would also have to reflect any future\nincrease in the uniformed strength of the Patrol.\n\"While I am concerned over this substantial increase\nin State government costs, I believe a more basic\npolicy question is raised by this bill. Providing\nfor the cost of uniform allowances for state employees\nshould not be approachedon a segmented basis.\n\"Additionally, I believe any decision on uniform\nrequirements and allowances for state employees\nshould await careful consideration of the\nrecommendations made by the legislative analyst in\nhis report prepared pursuant to Senate Concurrent\nResolution No. 62 (Res. Chapter 67). In that report,\nthe analyst recommends that the State Personnel Board\nconduct a detailed review of the entire subject of\nstate employee uniform requirements, and that any\naction to provide uniform allowances prior to this\nreview and resulting recommendations would be premature\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,\" the\ngovernor said.\nAB 790 - Brown\nMakes the University of California and the California\nState Colleges subject to the Government Code provision\nrelating to payroll deductions.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"AB 790 is unnecessary inasmuch as the California\nState Colleges and the University of California\nalready provide for payroll deductions for their\nacademic and nonacademic employees.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned, the\ngovernor said.\n# # # # #\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californ\nContact:\nPaul Bec\n445-4571\n10-28-71\n#595\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today met with State Superintendent of\nPublic Instruction Wilson Riles, Henry Gunderson, President of the State\nBoard of Education, and Dr. Louis Saylor, Director of the State Department\nof Public Health, to discuss California's venereal disease epidemic\nThey agreed that no changes in existing state law are necessary to\ninstitute a series of guidelines aimed at accelerating anti-VD\ninstruction programs in public schools across the state.\nThe governor, in pledging the full resources of his administration\nto assist the State Board of Education and Riles' State Department of\nEducation in the establishment of such guidelines, said they \"will help\nschool districts and schools which have not already done so to begin\nvenereal disease instruction immediately.\n\"We agreed that there is, right now, clearly enough authority in the\nlaw to initiate a crash program to combat VD, \" he said.\n\"The fact that parents must be notified in advance should not\ninhibit or hinder putting such vital instruction as this into effect\nimmediately.

Carleson today hailed a\ndecision by the State Third District Court of Appeal overruling the\naction of a Sacramento Superior Court Judge who attempted to block the\nimplementation of a major provision of California's new welfare reform\nlaw.\nIn effect, the Appellate Court today removed from the jurisdiction\nof Superior Court Judge William M. Gallagher's court any further judi-\ncial action on that part of the massive Welfare Reform Act which\nrequires adult children to contribute to the support of their needy,\naged parents.\nCarleson praised today's appellate court ruling as \"bringing us a\nstep closer toward removing the uncertainty and confusion\" which\nresulted from a restraining order issued October 14 by Judge Gallagher.\n\"Now we can get on with implementing this part of the new welfare reform\nlaw which was passed overwhelmingly by both houses of the legislature\nand signed by the governor August 13.\n\"We have been deeply concerned,\" Carleson said, \"about the issuance\nof temporary restraining orders by the courts without providing prior\nnotice to the state---hence effectively denying the state any opportunity\nto fully present its side of the issue. Such orders cause tremendous\nconfusion, not only at state and county administrative levels, but also\namong welfare recipients themselves.\"\nCarleson noted that on October 14, five hours after the State\nAttorney General had filed an affidavit to disqualify Judge Gallagher\nfrom conducting any further proceedings on this provision of the new\nwelfare reform law, Judge Gallagher chose to ignore the affidavit and\nissued a temporary restraining order anyway. The Attorney General's\naffidavit stated that Judge Gallagher was \"prejudiced against\nthe\ninterest of\" the state and that a \"fair and impartial trial or hearing\nbefore such judge\" was not possible.\n-1-\nOne week later, + Attorney General argued fore the appellate\ncourt that Gallagher's court had \"prejudicially abused its discretion,\nand acted contrary to law in entering and filing the\nOctober 14 re-\nstraining order and order to show cause, in that the Honorable William\nM. Gallagher\nwas disqualified from executing and causing to be filed\nthe restraining order and order to show cause, by virtue of the\nprevious\nmotion for disqualification.\"\nThe appellate court ruling today stayed Judge Gallagher's earlier\naction and restrained the Sacramento County Superior Court from \"all\nfurther proceedings.

The bill also\nprohibits the sale and possession with intent to\nsell, after June 1, 1972, of any fish, bird,\namphibian, reptile, or mammal specified in\nprescribed provisions of the Penal Code, even though\nthe part or product may lawfully have been possessed\nor imported prior to 1970.\nSB 166 - Short\nAppropriates $956,000 from the General Fund for the\n(Chapter 1299)\npurpose of payment of night-shift differential\n(Signed with deletion) compensation to State civil service employees\nworking on evening or night shifts established on\nor after July 1, 1971.\nREASON FOR\nDELETION:\n\"I am reducing the appropriation contained in\nSenate Bill No. 166 from $956,000 to $640,000.\n\"The State Personnel Board estimates that $640.000\nwill be needed for night shift differential\npayments for the period November 15, 1971 through\nJune 30, 1972. The reduced appropriation reflects\nthe Personnel Board's estimate.\n\"With the above reduction, I have approved SB 166,\"\nthe governor said.\n-4-\n#600\nGovernor Ronald Reagan has announced the Veto of the following\nbills:\nSB 679 - Stevens\nReplaces the Director of General Services with the\nDirector of Finance on the State Board of Control\nand makes the Controller the chairman thereof,\nrather than the Director of General Services.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"The Department of General Services was\nestablished to administer many of the housekeeping\nfunctions of the State and to relieve the Director\nof Finance of the statutory assignments to many\nboards and commissions. This bill would reverse\nthis policy decision and restore the Director of\nFinance to membership on the Board of Control.\n\"The types of claims and other action items coming\nbefore the Board of Control fit most closely with\nthe statutory responsibilities carried by the\nDirector of General Services and make him especially\nwell qualified to make decisions on these issues.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,\"\nthe governor said.\nSB 1338 - Wedworth\nPermits Medi-Cal providers to assign receipts from\nhealth care claims to third parties no earlier than\n30 days after submission of claims to fiscal\nintermediaries.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"There has not been any real need demonstrated for\nthis proposal which would introduce an unnecessary\ncomplexity into the accounting for and payment of\nMedi-Cal claims, requiring additional personnel\nand increased administrative costs.\n\"The bill is written so that all Medi-Cal providers\ncould have all their recurring expenses, such as\ntelephone bills, gas bills, etc., paid through\nassignment and would thus shift their bookkeeping\ncosts to the fiscal intermediaries and ultimately\nto the State and the general taxpayer.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,\"\nthe governor said.\nPeTRis\nSB 861 - Kennick\nMakes several amendments to the Health and\nSafety Code provisions relating to the management\nand operation of local housing authorities. It\nexpands the definition of the term \"housing project'\nThe bill requires housing authorities to include\none tenant as a commissioner. The bill also\nrequires a written statement of reasonable cause\nfor eviction and a grievance procedure before\nany eviction action is filed. The bill also\nmakes changes relating to the right of entry of a\ntenants dwelling, tenant liability for damage to\na dwelling, requirement for public notices, waiting\nlista, and a requirement that certain documents\nbe translated into languages other than English\nin certain cases.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"My principal concern with SB 861 is the provision\nthat mandates the appointment of a housing\nauthority tenant as one of the commissioners of\nthat authority. While I have no objections to a\ntenant being appointed as a member of an appointive\nhousing authority, I believe that local governmental\njurisdictions should have maximum latitude and\nflexibility in appointing such members. Senate\nBill 861 would, if enacted, remove that flexibility\nby mandating tenant membership.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,\" \" the\ngovernor said.\n-5-\n#600\nAB 2155 - Knox\nClarifies what Election Code violations constitute\ngrounds for ineligibility to register to vote.\nREASON FOR VETO:\nAB 2155 apparently seeks to reflect the decision of\nthe California Supreme Court in Otsuka V. Hite\n(1966). The court in that case discussed the type\nof crimes that would constitute a threat to the\nintegrity of the elective process' for the\npurpose of determining eligibility to register to\nvote, The Hite decision did not limit such\noffenses to violations of the Elections Code.\n\"Any statutory guidelines developed to aid county\nclerks in the uniform administration of this part\nof the elcetion law should include those other\ncrimes that also constitute \"a threat to the\nintegrity of the elective process.'\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,\"\nthe governor said.\nAB 2891 - Crown\nAppropriates $1,200,000 for the support of services\nto physically handicapped children.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"Over $11.5 million has been appropriated during\nthe current fiscal year for the Crippled Childrens\nService program. AB 2891 seeks to augment that\nappropriation. I feel that it is inappropriate to\nfurther augment this program at this time.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned,\"\nthe governor said.\n###\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, Californi\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n10-29-71\n#601\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nNovember 1, 1971\nthrough\nNovember 7, 1971\nMonday, November 1\nOffice appointments\nOvernight - Sacramento\nTuesday, November 2\nOffice appointments\nOvernight - Sacramento\nWednesday, November 3\nOffice appointments\nOvernight - Sacramento\nThursday, November 4\nAfternoon\nDepart for Los Angeles\n6:00 p.m.\nTaping of David Frost Show, KTTV Studio,\n5746 Sunset Boulevard\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nFriday, November 5\nAfternoon\nDepart for Seattle\nEvening\nRepublican Fund Raiser, Olympic Hotel\nOvernight - Sacramento\nSaturday, November 6\nNo appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Sacramento\nSunday, November 7\nNo appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Sacramento\n# # #\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Imr diate\nSacramento, Californ.\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n10-29-71\n#602\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that will impose\nstrict controls on the use of pesticides and sets up a licensing\nprogram for \"pest control advisors.\"\nThe bill (SB 1021 by Senator John A.
