Notices of\ndiscontinuance of aid to those persons affected will be held until the\nlatest possible time and will not be sent if the remedial legislation\nis passed on an urgency basis before March 15.\n\"It is clear,\" he said, \"that the age of majority law, if not\namended, would abruptly deprive thousands of families and individuals\nof education and health benefits they have been receiving.\"\nA parallel problem which the governor hopes to solve with this\nremedial legislation is the loss of state funds which the community\ncolleges have been receiving for students under 21.\n#####\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVEF\nR\nRELEASE:\n:\nediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n3-2-72\n#121\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today appointed Mayor Joseph B.

Fleck, an environmental toxicologist at the University\nof California at Davis was chief architect of the plan and serves as\nproject director.\nThirty-five staff members of governmental bodies and 15 from private\norganizations contributed to the data pool for the program study.\nA number of heavy metals, chemicals and other environmentally\nhazardous materials will be measured during the 1972 calendar year under\nthe program.\nSpecific substances whose source, movement and fate will be studied\ninclude lead; mercury; cadmium; arsenic; boron; DDT and its metabolites;\nother organochlorine compounds including 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T; parathion;\nasbestos; nitrates and ethylene.\nSamples will be taken of air, surface water, underground water, waste\ndischarges, fish and wildlife, and food and soil elements. Biological\nindicators of environmental quality will be included.\nThe primary study area will be the lower portion of the Salinas\nValley and the near-shore portion of Monterey Bay. This area was selected\nbecause it is a limited, well-defined geographical entity that will allow\nresearchers to develop methods and procedures to measure and track all\npotential sources of pollution: industrial, municipal and agricultural.\nDr. Fleck and his study team have identified in the area 30 industria\nwaste dischargers, 12 municipal waste dischargers, six solid waste disposa\nsites and three mining and miscellaneous sources of potentially harmful\nmaterials.\nFarm crop production and chemicals used in agriculture and mosquito\nabatement will also come under surveillance.\n- 1 -\n#125\nState agencies involved in the study will use existing resources,\nfacilities and budget allotments in contributing to the project.\nParticularly active in the program will be agencies with responsibilities\nfor environmental protection, such as the California Departments of\nAgriculture, Fish and Game, Public Health, and Water Resources, and the\nAir Resources and Water Resources Control Boards.\nThe program is designed to include and coordinate with many existing\nmonitoring projects being conducted in the area by these agencies and\nsuch others as the Monterey County Department of Public Health, Monterey-\nSanta Cruz Air Pollution Control District, the U.S. Geological Survey,\nthe Environmental Protection Agency, the Association of Monterey Bay Area\nGovernments (AMBAG), and the Hopkins Marine Station.\nIn addition to providing an evaluation of current conditions, the\nenvironmental sensing and measuring program will allow California to\nanticipate undesirable changes long before they occur and take steps to\nprevent them, according to Dr. Fleck.\n######\nEJG\n- 2 -\nOFFICE OF THE GOVER!\nRELEASE:\n....ediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n3-3-72\n#126\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today made the following announcement to\nnewsmen in Sacramento.\n\"I am gratified and very pleased that the Nixon administration has\nnow given us the authority we have been seeking to implement one of the\nmost innovative and far-reaching elements of our welfare reform program.\n\"As you know, one of the major provisions of the Welfare Reform Act\nof 1971 enabled us to test the concept that able-bodied, employable\nwelfare recipients should be required to seek work, accept a job if\noffered, participate in job training, or work in selected jobs for the\ncommunity in return for their welfare grants.\n\"Now that HEW secretary Richardson has approved the demonstration\nproject, we intend to push forward immediately with our plans to implemen\nthe three-year program in 35 California counties beginning April 1.\n\"When I discussed the program with President Nixon at the Western\nWhite House last year, he assured me that he wanted to see it put into\neffect on a scale large enough and broad enough to give the concept of\na fair and accurate test.\n\"Human Relations Secretary Jim Hall and those who work under him\nthen prepared a comprehensive plan which would satisfy these objectives.\n\"Under our agreement with HEW, the project will register an estimate\n58,000 welfare recipients, 30,000 of whom will be given work assignments\nduring the first year. The kinds of community work projects they will be\nassigned to will range from schoolyard monitoring to the maintenance of\npark and recreation facilities. These community work activities will be\nlimited to meeting only those genuine community needs which otherwise\nwould go unmet for lack of funds and manpower.\n\"We are confident that these work activities will be considered by\nmany welfare recipients as opportunities to help serve and improve their\ncommunities while they are waiting to get off welfare and move into regular\njobs.\n\"I am deeply grateful to President Nixon, Vice President Agnew and\nSecretary Richardson for the efforts they have made to permit the project\nto go forward.\n\"I am convinced that the concept of community work experience by the\nable-bodied on welfare holds enormous promise for the future, not only in\nCalifornia but throughout the nation. It can reintroduce the principle\nof the work ethic to our way of life=--a concept which, over the years,\nhas made America the most productive and prosperous nation in the world.\n\"There is no question in my mind that this type of program must be\nconsidered an integral part of any approach to true welfare reform. We\nbelieve our program will bear out this view as the program proceeds in\nCalifornia during the months and years ahead.\"\n######\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVER\nR\nMEMO TO THI RESS\nSacramento, Califor\na\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n3-3-72\nFollowing is a list of the counties to be included in the\ncommunity work experience program which the governor discussed with\nthe press today:\nSiskiyou, Modoc, Shasta, Lassen, Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma,\nMarin, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo,\nSanta Clara, Yolo, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera,\nFresno, Kings, Tulare, Kern, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis Obispo,\nSanta Barbara, Ventura, Orange, Butte, Sutter, Yuba, E1 Dorado and\nPlacer.\n-0-\nHere is a list of potential community work experience\nassignments:\nHorticultural Aide\nPlayground Monitor\nVehicle Maintenance\nRiver and Stream Maintenance Aide\nRoad Clean Up\nSurvey Taker\nParking Lot Attendant\nKitchen Helper\nJanitor\nGeriatric Aide\nMessenger\nLobby Monitor\nClerk\nPolice Aide\nTypist\nPlumber's Helper\nGroundsman\nPoundsman's Aide\nStock Clerk\nHospital Aide\nReproduction Clerk\nLaundry Worker Aide\nPark Maintenance\nElection Aide\nWarehouseman Aide\nReforestation Aide\nMechanics Helper\nFisheries Aide\nElectrician's Aide\nTraffic Signal Aide\nCarpenter's Helper\nTree Trimmer Aide\nPainter's Helper\nSwimming Pool Attendant\nHighway Maintenance Helper\nRecycling Station Aide\nSign Maintenance Helper\nCWEP Aide\nWatchman\nAgricultural Products Inspector\nSchool Crossing Guard\nAide\nLibrary Aide\nSnow Removal Aide\nTool Maintenance Aide\nRoadside Rest Area Maintenance Aide\nBuilding Maintenance Aide\nSewer Maintenance Aide\nFlood Control Aide\nFair Grounds Aide\nTrail Maintenance Aide\nTeacher's Aide\nFire Prevention Aide\nAttendant Aide\nDay Care Center Aide\nInventory Clerk\nPollution Control Aide\n# # #\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nMEMO TO THE RESS\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n3-3-72\n#127\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nMarch 6, 1972\nthrough\nMarch 12, 1972\nMonday, March 6\n11:15 a.m.\nBrief remarks to Auto Repair Board, Governor's\nCouncil Room\n5:30 p.m.\nWine Institute's Champagne Reception, Woodlake\nInn\nOvernight - Sacramento\nTuesday, March 7\n10:00 a.m.\nPRESS CONFERENCE\nOvernight - Sacramento\nWednesday, March 8\n11:00 a.m.\nPresentation of Easter Seal Child to Senate\nOvernight - - Sacramento\nThursday, March 9\na.m.\nDepart for Miami, Florida\nRally for Re-election of RMN\np.m.\nReturn to Los Angeles\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nFriday, March 10\nNo public appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nSaturday, March 11\nNo appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nSunday, March 12\nNo appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Sacramento\n# # #\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVE\n)R\nRELEASE:\nmmediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n3-3-72\n#128\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today set June 6 as the date for a special\nelection in the 36th Senatorial District to fill the seat vacated by\nGordon Cologne who was recently appointed to the Fourth District\nCourt of Appeal.

In addition, I submitted to the committee copies of\nAttorney General's opinions refuting his charges that our regulations\nwere illegal.\n\"I am very disappointed but not really surprised that virtually\nnone of this material submitted by us has been included or referred to\nin the so-called report.

The Act is a good act. It is being administered\nand implemented properly. Some sections of the Reform Act which were\nrewritten by legislative staff members are in court. We hope that\neven these sections will survive court tests and will be effective.\n\"I am firmly convinced that neither Senator Beilenson nor most\nof the other legislative negotiators fully realized to what they were\nagreeing when they agreed to the Welfare Reform Act.\n\"Contrary to Senator Beilenson's claim, welfare reform has been\nsuccessful, legal and has and will continue to result in tremendous\nsavings to the taxpayer, notwithstanding some additional administrative\ncosts borne by the counties and the state in order to meet last-minute\nand obviously confusing and conflicting court orders which as the law\nrequired had to be submitted to the counties by the State Department\nof Social Welfare.\"\n-0-\nTelephone Statement\n3-17-72\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today issued the following state-\nment in response to queries from the press:\n\"The president has used the voice of reason to calm an\nemotional storm.

The\nresult has been a hodge-podge and proliferation of programs.\n\"Last year the U.S. Department of Labor spent approximately\n$500 million in California on more than 100 different programs.

Monagan of\nTracy, who made a major contribution in developing the program, will\nsponsor the enabling legislation.\nUnder the governor's proposal, the state would provide an annual\nuniform allowance of up to $150 and in addition would furnish all\nprotective and safety equipment, including firearms. Some work\nclothing, worn to protect employees' regular attire, would also be\nprovided.\n\"I am extremely pleased to make this announcement,\" the governor\nsaid, \"because I have felt for some time that our state employees who\nhave to wear uniforms deserve a special allowance. My only regret is\nthat the state's financial problems have prevented us from making this\nproposal up to now.\n\"This is not to say that all of our fiscal problems have been\nsolved. However, providing a uniform allowance, particularly for the\nstate's law enforcement and correctional personnel, is something this\nadministration has wanted to do for some time. I am happy that we can\ndo it now.\"\nAssemblyman Monagan, whose district includes the Deuel Vocational\nInstitution at Tracy, said the State Board of Control will be required\nto establish a procedure to determine what articles of clothing are\nto be included in the uniform allowance.\n\"The board will also determine the average annual replacement cost\nfor each type of uniform,\" Monagan said, \"and annually review and adjust\nthe allowances when necessary.\"\nIn addition, the board will:\n--Determine when new employees will become eligible for a uniform\nallowance;\n--Decide the need for changes in uniforms based on departmental\nrequests, and;\n--Determine what degree of need for identification is necessary to\nsupport a uniform requirement.\n-1-\n#174\nH.

At\npresent they have to purchase all uniforms and equipment with their\nown funds.
