In making the announcement, the governor said:\n\"I want to announce my support of Proposition 18, not only as the\nGovernor of the State, but as a parent who is deeply concerned about the\ntragic pollution of our sociological climate by the commercial interests\nwho are flooding us with pornography. Many lawyers, including my legal\nstaff, have reviewed Proposition 18; they have concluded that this is a\nreasonable, well-drafted measure, designed to give law enforcement the\nweapons it badly needs to help communities protect themselves against smut\n\"I have considered carefully the arguments by the opposition to\nProposition 18 and their claim of 'censorship' in regards to the effects\nof the proposition. It is my opinion that these accusations are unfounded\nand that the proposition is drafted not only to protect the public\nagainst a continuing hard core smut that concerns us all, but also\nprotects the legitimate publisher and theater against specious prosecution\n\"I urge the people of California to join me in this effort to stop\nthe spread of this filth by voting in favor of Proposition 18.\"\nPat Boone, the State Chairman of the Committee for YES for\nProposition 18, telegraphed his personal thanks to the Governor for his\nendorsement and expressed his delight that Governor Reagan had been able\nto join the California District Attorneys' Association, the State Chamber\nof Commerce, the California Peace Officers Association, and other civic\nand community groups ingiving their endorsement to Proposition 18.\n\"We have been the victims of a massively financed campaign of smears\nagainst the Proposition by those commercial interests who gain so much\nfrom pornography,\" said Boone, \"and unfortunately we have not been able\nto gather the tremendous financial resources necessary to answer these\nunfounded charges. It is reassuring to the thousands of hard-working\ndecent citizens who are struggling to secure the passage of this measure\nhat the Governor would take the courageous stand that he has.\n\"I am confident that Proposition 18 will more than be able to stand\nup under a close scrutiny such as that which Governor Reagan has given to\nit, and I urge all Californians not to be swayed by the well-financed\ncampaign of distortion against Proposition 18. Rather, as the Governor\nhas done, I plead with the people of California to consider the measure\non its merits and then to register their vote for a cleaner, more decent\nsociety for ourselves and our children by voting 'YES' on Proposition 18,\"\nconcluded Boone.\n#\n#\n4\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n10-6-72\n#557\nLieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke today called an emergency session\nof the cabinet to discuss the potentially disastrous economic effect the\nrecent State Supreme Court's decision in the Mammoth-Mono County case\nis having on California.\nAs a result of that court decision, which requires local governments\nto file written environmental impact reports before issuing building\npermits, hundreds of projects may be closed down across the state and\nthousands of construction workers are in danger of losing their jobs.\nThe ruling, issued September 21, requires that California's tough\nEnvironmental Quality Act of 1970 apply to private building projects\nthroughout the state.\nGovernor Ronald Reagan informed the cabinet he is requesting State\nAttorney General Evelle Younger to ask the court to make its decision not\napplicable to private projects begun before September 21 and to stay the\neffect of its ruling pending a complete clarification.\n\"I am extremely concerned that the plain language in the law has\nbeen ignored by the court,\" Reinecke said. \"The legislature and the\ngovernor did not intend for the law to bring California's construction\nindustry to a grinding halt, forcing thousands of workers off their jobs\nby stopping hundreds of construction projects.\n\"At the time the Environmental Quality Act was approved, everyone\nagreed that it applied only to governmental projects. The court's ruling\nhas broadened the law far beyond any reasonable interpretation of the\nstatute,\" Reinecke concluded.\nSeveral cities and counties have stopped issuing building permits\nbecause of the court's decision. In addition, most major financial\ninstitutions in the state have suspended making loans as a result of the\ndecision. Projects already under construction also may be affected by\nthe court's ruling.\n######\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RON' D REAGAN\nRELEASE\nImmediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n10-6-72\n#558\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointments of two\njudges to the municipal court bench in the San Diego Judicial District.\nAppointed were Richard J.

Please guard against premature release.)\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today proposed a 10 percent across-the-board\nslash in the state income tax, plus a major reduction in the local\nproperty tax burden, and said he will call a special statewide election\nearly next year to make sure the people themselves are able to secure the\ntax relief they need---at the ballot box.\nIn taking the 6-point plan directly to the public in a televised\n\"Report-to-the-People,\" Governor Reagan became the first governor of a\nmajor state in recent history to propose a broad tax reduction, including\na permanent, ongoing income tax cut.\nNoting that \"for the third straight year a small band of legislators\nwere able to frustrate our efforts to give you a tax reduction which is\nlong overdue,\" the governor said he will ask the legislature, when it\nreconvenes November 8, to approve the ballot measure and he set a deadline\nof January 30 for the legislature to act.\nHe said the measure \"will provide much needed help for low-wealth\nschool districts and reduce the property tax, plus an across-the-board\ncut in the California income tax.\n\"If the legislature agrees to put this on the ballot (by January 30),\nfine. If not,\" he said, \"we'll put it on the ballot anyway.\" Governor\nReagan said he would do this by \"personally leading an initiative drive\"\nto put such a measure to a vote of the people.\n\"I then will call a special election which I am authorized to do\nby law just as soon as you have signed the petitions,\" he said in the\nbrief televised message.\nThe governor's six-point proposal, if passed by the voters, would:\n1) Slash state income taxes by at least 10 percent on a permanent,\nongoing basis.\n2) Reduce property taxes by at least doubling the present homeowner\nexemption.\n3) Provide tax relief for renters.\n- 1 -\n#561\n4) Increase state aid to schools by $200 million in new money, and\nprovide nearly $½ billion for school property tax rollbacks.\n5) Freeze property taxes at the reduced level. The local\nelectorate would determine the property tax rate in the future.\n6) Require a two-thirds vote of the legislature to increase any\nstate tax.\n\"To accomplish the proposed school tax rollbacks and property tax\nreductions,\" he said, \"there will be a shift adding one cent to the sales\ntax. One percent added to the Bank and Corporation tax will make possible\na cut in the business inventory tax.\n\"Federal revenue sharing will support the increased school funding.\nAnd, the ongoing surplus which has resulted from our welfare and\nMedi-Cal reforms will be committed to income tax reduction,\" the\ngovernor said.\nGovernor Reagan pointed out that \"our proposed income tax cut would\nnot have been possible if we had not achieved substantial savings in\nwelfare and Medi-Cal. The reforms not only have enabled us to keep the\ncosts of these programs well below projected expenditures but also have\nhelped cut the state's welfare caseload by some 220,000 persons during\nthe past 17 months, while increasing grants to needy families by almost\n30 percent,\" he said.\nThe governor said that although members of his administration will\nbe working out all the details of his tax relief plan in the weeks ahead\nso that the program will be ready to present to the legislature November\n8\n\"we now know that the tax reductions we are proposing are feasible,\nrealistic and fiscally responsible.\" \"\nHere is the text of Governor Reagan's taped Report-to-the-People\nwhich was distributed to television and radio station news directors\naround the state for use on newscasts after 4 p.m. today:\n\"Last Spring, for the third straight year, we proposed a plan for\nreducing property taxes. And, for the third straight year a small band\nof legislators were able to frustrate our efforts to give you the tax\nreduction which is long overdue.\n\"At that time, I told you I intended to propose an alternative\nmethod for returning to you, the taxpayers, the ongoing surplus that has\nresulted from our Medi-Cal and welfare reforms.\n2 1 I\n#561\n\"The legislature will reconvene November 8, and on that day I will\nask them to approve a ballot measure for submission to you which, if\nyou approve, will provide much needed help for low-wealth school\ndistricts and reduce the property tax, plus an across-the-board cut in\nthe California state income tax.\n\"If the present legislature or their successors have not acted by\nJanuary 30, I will personally lead an initiative drive to put such a\nmeasure on the ballot by petition.\n\"I then will call a special election which I am authorized to do\nby law just as soon as you have signed the petitions.\n\"The plan we are proposing, the one on which you will be voting:\n\"Will reduce school property taxes, by at least doubling the\npresent homeowner exemption.\n\"Everyone will get at least a 10 percent cut in their state\nincome tax.\n\"And, school aid will be increased by $200 million in new money,\nand nearly $1/4 billion will be provided for school property tax rollbacks.\n\"The plan also will provide relief for renters.\n\"To accomplish the proposed reduction, there will be a shift adding\none cent to the sales tax. One percent added to the Bank and Corporation\ntax will make possible a cut in the business inventory tax.\n\"Federal revenue sharing will support the school funding and the\nongoing surplus will be committed to income tax reduction.\n\"You will further be voting to freeze your property tax at the\nreduced level, and your votes will control it in the future.\n\"A two-thirds majority vote of the legislature will be required in\nthe future to increase any state tax.\n\"And, remember, this time you will have the opportunity to decide.\n\"If the legislature agrees to put this on the ballot, fine.\nIf not, we'll put it on the ballot anyway.\"\n######\n- 3 -\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE:\nmediate\nSacramento, Californi 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n10-11-72\n#562\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of Joseph\nPerez of Concord to the California Advisory Council on Vocational\nEducation and Technical Training.\nJoseph Perez, a Democrat, fills the vacancy created by the\nresignation of Alfonso B.

In a cynical and calculated attempt to\ndeceive the taxpayers, the proponents of Proposition 15 have launched\na massive advertising campaign based on totally false and misleading\nclaims. In their ads, they are saying Proposition 15 would 'put a lid\non state employee salaries' and 'give control of the public payroll back\nto the public.' This is of course absolutely untrue.\n\"The fact is, only by voting NO on Proposition 15 will the\ntaxpayers be able to keep a control on state salaries. Only by voting\nNO on 15 will the public payroll remain in the hands of the public--\nthrough elected public officials. Virtually every campaign argument\nthey have used could only be true IF it were followed by the admonition--\nVOTE NO on 15.\n\"Proposition 15 is nothing more than a blank check on the taxpayers'\nmoney, written out to state employees, with the amount of money to be\nfilled in by non-elected state employees. If Proposition 15 were to\npass, no California governor would ever again have anything to say\nabout state employee pay raises, even though the governor is supposed\nto be answerable to the taxpayers for how their money is spent.\n\"In effect, employee salaries would constitutionally have first call\non all state revenues--before education, health, or any other public\nneed.\n\"This year alone, had Proposition 15 been in effect, it would have\ncost the taxpayers another $73 million--over and above what they are\nactually paying. And, imagine how staggering such increases could be\nin the future. It is a blank check our taxpayers simply cannot afford.\n\"The truth is California has what I have often stated are 'the\nfinest employees' of any state, or other government level for that matter.\nWe have embarked on a two-phase salary adjustment which by next July\nwill have eliminated any and all inequities and we have a long range\nplan to maintain a fair salary level in the future. Therefore, I hope\nno taxpayer will be fooled by the outrageous untruths being perpetrated\nby those who are pushing Proposition 15 for their own selfish purposes.\"\n# # #\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571 10-22-72\n(The following telegram was released today by telephone to\nthe Associated Press, United Press International, San Francisco\nExaminer, San Francisco Chronicle and the Oakland Tribune):\n\"To Charles O.

Therefore,\nit is unquestionably a 'controversial issue of public importance, as\ncovered by the Fairness Doctrine which requires broadcasters to give both\nsides of such controversial issues.\"\nCiting seven CSEA-sponsored commercials that have been broadcast in\nCalifornia, Governor Reagan said:\n\"The promoters of this issue should not be permitted to advocate\npassage of Proposition 15 by means of fraudulent and deceptive\nadvertising in blatant violation of Federal Trade Commission regulations.\"\n######\nNOTE TO CAPITOL PRESS CORPS:\nAttached are the letters to the FCC and FTC, which contain the\nfalse and fraudulent language in each of the seven CSEA-sponsored\ncommercials, and the commercials themselves.\nWalthall\nOctober 26, 1972\nThe Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick\nChairman, Federal Trade Commission\n1101 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.\nWashington, D.C. 20580\nDear Mr. Chairman:\nCharges and countercharges of false and misleading adver-\ntising are not uncommon during election year campaigning.\nBut seldom can a more obvious case of deliberate deception\nand false radio and television advertising be made than here\nin California over the untruths running through the commer-\ncials supporting Proposition 15, the proposed constitutional\namendment pertaining to state employees' salaries.\nI believe the commercials I will cite in this letter re-\npresent a deliberate attempt to falsify the true nature and\neffects of Proposition 15. The promoters of this issue\nshould not be permitted to advocate passage of Proposition 15\nby means of fraudulent and deceptive advertising in blatant\nviolation of Federal Trade Commission regulations. I request\nthat the FTC take immediate action against the California\nState Employees Association to prevent the further dissemina-\ntion of its fraudulent and deceptive advertising concerning\nProposition 15.\nThe attached texts of the CSEA sponsored commercials, now\nbeing broadcast in California, are untrue and deceptive\nfor the following reasons:\nCOMMERCIAL \"A\"\nThis commercial contains the language \"Vote Yes on Proposi-\ntion 15 to avoid costly strikes\nand\nput\nsensible\ncontrols\non state pay\". Yet Proposition 15 makes no mention of\nstrikes, and does not provide any legal machinery for\ncurtailing strikes, nor does it declare that strikes by\npublic employees are already illegal. Nor does Proposition\n15 contain any language which imposes controls on state pay\nrates.\nThe Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick\nN 0 I\nOctober 26, 1972\nThe measure would establish a \"generally prevailing rate\"\nstandard, but this standard is not defined either in the\ninitiative or in California law. Court cases, however,\nseem to have interpreted the term \"generally prevailing\nrate\" to establish a floor rather than a ceiling on public\nemployee pay rates.\nCOMMERCIAL \"B\"\nThe text of this commercial contains one fraudulent message\nand two others that are absolutely false. First, it states\nthat the California Attorney General's analysis, which\nappears on the ballot, is \"misleading\" and makes Proposition\n15 read \"like a tax increase\". In fact, the Attorney General's\nanalysis contains no reference at all to taxes and simply\ncontains an estimated cost, as required by law.\nSecondly, it contains the following statement: \"It (the\nProposition) guarantees that state employment may never be\npaid more than the average wage for the same job in private\nindustry. It also ends the threat of costly strikes by state\nemployees\".\nProposition 15 does not contain the word \"average\" and the\nterm \"generally prevailing rate\" has not been defined in\nCalifornia court decisions to mean \"average\". Moreover,\nthere are no guarantees in Proposition 15 to assure that\n\"generally prevailing rate\" will limit pay rates to the\naverage rates for comparable work in private industry. In\nfact, the proposition does not limit comparisons to \"private\nindustry jobs\". As noted earlier, Proposition 15 does not\nestablish any means for preventing strikes from occurring.\nCOMMERCIAL \"C\"\nThis message contains the following language: \"Your Yes Vote\non 15 guarantees that state employees may never be paid more\nthan the average wage for the same work in private industry.\nAt the same time, YES on 15 ends the threat of costly strikes\nby state employees\nAs previously noted, these are false and fraudulent statements\naimed at concealing the true nature of Proposition 15.\nCOMMERCIAL \"D\"\nThis message repeats the charge that the official ballot\ndescription makes Proposition 15 sound like a tax increase.\nIn fact, the description does not refer to taxes.\nThe Honorable Miles Kirkpatrick\n- 3 -\nOctober 26, 1972\nBut taken in total context, Commercial \"D\" makes it appear\nthat Proposition 15 is designed to broaden the authority of\nelected officials with respect to setting pay rates for state\nemployees. It is fact that Proposition 15 would drastically\ncurtail the control which the people, through their elected\nofficials, presently have concerning public pay rates.\nCOMMERCIAL \"E\"\nThis message repeats two false statements previously referred\nto. It states that it would \"put sensible controls on the\nstate payroll\" and that it would \"give control of the public\npayroll back to the public\". Both statements are totally\nuntrue.\nCOMMERCIAL \"E\"\nThis message repeats the charge about a \"misleading\" ballot\ndescription. The commercial also implies that a \"yes\" vote\non Proposition 15 is a vote \"to keep state pay under control\".\nThat is totally untrue.\nCOMMERCIAL \"G\"\nThis commercial repeats the false statement that \"Proposition\n15 ends the threat of costly strikes by California state\nemployees\".\nThe proponent of Proposition 15, as that term is defined in\nElection Code 3500.5 (statutes of California), is the Calif-\nornia State Employees Association; the very same organization\nwhich is now telling the voters of this state that this\nmeasure will end strikes, limit salary increases for state\nemployees, give government back to the people, and not raise\ntaxes. At the same time CSEA is telling its members that\nProposition 15 will result in substantially greater salaries,\nand the Legislative Analyst of California agrees by estimating\nthat the cost of this measure would have been an added $73\nmillion of it had been in effect this fiscal year.\nIn view of the above information, subject to your own impartial\ninvestigation, I request that CSEA immediately be required by\na cease and desist order to drop the above false and fraudulent\nadvertising.

Cole, president of General Motors\nCorporation.\n\"Participation by the State of California in this project will be\nin the greatest public interest, \" Governor Reagan said. \"The\nCalifornia Air Resources Board has the finest testing facilities\navailable. We are pleased to develop this testing program with GM, and\nE\nwe are cooperating with other automobile ^ manufacturers in similar\nprograms.\n\"We are making progress in the control of smog, but the goal of\nclean air is not yet a reality. I am hopeful this program will move us\nmuch further down the road to attaining that goal.\"\nThe cars will be periodically tested by the Air Resources Board\nand GM to evaluate effectiveness of the emission control systems as\nmileage accumulates, It is planned that the test program will continue\nfor up to 50,000 miles of operation.\nGM will equip the cars with experimental advanced control systems\nwhich at this time appear to have the best potential for meeting future\nstate and federal low emission standards. These will be catalytic\nsystems which GM feels have demonstrated the best potential for low\nemission capability under controlled laboratory and proving grounds\ntesting.\nThe first cars to be tested will have an oxidizing catalytic\nconverter system and other components designed to meet 1975 federal\nlimits for hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. Additional cars\nwill be incorporated in this fleet test with control systems which are\nunder development and have been designed to meet the more rigid 1976\nfederal emission standards.\n-1-\n#584\nGM emphasizes that much progress is required before the experimental\nsystems can be mass-produced that will meet future low emission levels,\nas well as function satisfactorily in the hands of drivers.\nSome of the test cars may also incorporate an electronic high energy\nignition system, advanced carburetors to provide more precise fuel\nmetering, and an early fuel evaporation system to vaporize fuel more\ncompletely in the manifold and reduce emissions during start-up.\nThe Department of Public Works will maintain thorough records of\nthe cars throughout the test period, including location and mileage of\ntrips, maintenance required beyond that recommended by the manufacturer,\nfuel and oil used and drivability. Unleaded fuel will be used exclusively\nin the test cars.\nEdward L. Tinney, equipment engineer with Division of Highways,\nDepartment of Public Works, said the lease costs of the automobiles to\nbe tested, which are Oldsmobiles and Chevrolets, will compare favorably\nwith the costs which would be incurred if the vehicles were purchased.\n\"Under normal circumstances, 450 1973 sedans would have been\npurchased for the normal replacement program of the Department of Public\nWorks fleet for the 1972-73 fiscal year, \" Tinney said. \"This number\nhas been reduced to 400 since the GM cars will be used for fleet\npurposes. \"\n# # #\n-2-\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RO.
