"San Diego State University" is now official.
The new title-what many people have called it all along--is the
result of legislation signed today by Governor Ronald Reagan which
changes the names of four institutions in the California State University
and Colleges system of public higher education.
Two years ago, in an effort to enable California's "well known
and highly respected state colleges to take their rightful place among
academic institutions across the country," Governor Reagan signed
legislation establishing the "state university and colleges" system
but the official titles of all the university level institutions in the
system were: California State University at (city).
"The legislation I am signing today (SB-381 Alquist) makes
official what many people have been calling these institutions all
along", the governor said.
The legislation also designates the following changes: San
Francisco State University (changed from California State University
at San Francisco); San Jose State University (changed from California
State University at San Jose) and Humboldt State University (changed
from California State University at Humboldt).
In addition, the bill gives the Trustees of the State University
and Colleges the authority to make similar name changes at the other
institutions in the system.
Governor Reagan emphasized that the name changes provided for in
SB 381 are not intended to change the basic role or function of these
institutions. "The greatness they have achieved and the prestige they
have earned is due, and will continue to be due, in large part, to the
emphasis they have placed on their vital classroom teaching role."
The governor noted that the legislation was supported by the
student body presidents of the four institutions affected, as well as
alumni associations, faculty members and administrators. The bill also
had the support of the Trustees of the California State University
and Colleges.

Governor Ronald Reagan today made the following statement
pertaining to the legislature's approval of the death penalty bill:
"I want to commend Senator George Deukmejian for authoring this
important legislation, and for his persistence and leadership in
causing the legislature to do its duty in approving the bill.
"The people of California voted for the death penalty and now
that the legislature has finally responded to that mandate, the cause
of justice has been strengthened. There is no telling how many lives
of law abiding citizens and their families this legislation will save.
"I also want to thank Attorney General Evelle Younger, the
California Peace Officers Association, the California District
Attorneys Association and the other law enforcement groups who worked
so hard in support of this measure. The successful conclusion of
their efforts shows that under our system of government, the people's
will can ultimately prevail despite numerous roadblocks.
"As I have said before, I don't believe those who voted to
reestablish capital punishment did so out of any feelings of vengeance.
They simply believe that those who murder their fellow citizens and who
gun down our police, will not be deterred by anything less than the
ultimate penalty---and they are right.
"In my opinion this legislation will go a long way toward meeting
the requirements laid down by the U.S. Supreme Court in its ruling on
capital punishment."

REASON FOR VETO:
"The present requirements of the Elections Code do
not impose an unfair burden on the absentee voter.
He may either mail his ballot to the clerk or return
it in person to the precinct board of any polling
place in the county of his residence.
"The changes proposed by AB 1541 unnecessarily
complicate the absentee voter process by creating
different procedures for different types of

"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
Governor Reagan said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today reaffirmed his contention that the
funding of a Tax Reduction Task Force which developed legislation to
reduce the tax burden on Californians was both a necessary and proper
function of the executive branch.
He said the allegations of some that the use of existing state
personnel, facilities and funds was improper or illegal are merely
attempts to divert attention from the central issues addressed by a
proposed constitutional amendment to limit and reduce state taxes which
the people will vote on November 6.
The governor noted that similar task forces using available state
personnel have produced reform legislation which has saved California
taxpayers billions of dollars during the course of his administration.
The total cost to the state of the Tax Reduction Task Force, which
began its work a year ago utilizing existing facilities and personnel,
amounted to approximately $168,000.
He emphasized that the sole purpose of the task force was to
develop legislation which could result in lowering the tax burden on
the people. The legislation was submitted to the legislature March 12,
1973.
The legislature refused to take action on the legislative package.
Subsequently, a citizens organization, Californians for Lower Taxes, was
formed to qualify the legislation for the ballot by means of an
initiative constitutional amendment. Sufficient signatures were
obtained in late June to place the measure before the people at a
statewide election November 6.
The governor reiterated that the purpose of the task force was to
develop legislation and submit it to the legislature for action. The
fact that the legislature refused to take positive action on the
legislation prompted the citizens group to go ahead with its initiative.
A number of operating departments and agencies within the
administration, including the Governor's Office, provided assistance
to the task force members in the form of informational data, temporary
personnel and resources. This was no different from the manner in
which other task forces have been supported in the past---including
those on government efficiency and cost control, welfare reform, local
government reorganization, public safety and education.
-1-
#477
The governor said his ability to effectively utilize all available
administrative resources of the executive branch is necessary and proper
if he is to meet his responsibilities, solve state problems and propose
new legislative programs to meet public needs.
In fact, he noted that the indirect and direct costs for the
support of the Tax Reduction Task Force are infinitesimal in comparison
to the $118 billion the people will save if they vote to amend the
constitution at the special election.
Of the $168,000 (approximate) in total task force costs, all but
$34,000 was indirect support from existing state personnel and
facilities. This was spread across numerous departments for temporary
and part-time personnel, office space and the like. The remaining
$34,000 was for direct cash costs incurred by the Department of Health
Care Services, the Department of Human Resources Development, the
Health & Welfare Agency, the Task Force and several consultants.
Governor Reagan said that although he believes it would have been
entirely proper for the agency and these departments to pay the direct
costs out of their own budgets, he nevertheless directed that the
Governor's Office reimburse them for those direct costs which they
incurred (totaling $34,425.08). Accordingly, the reimbursement was
made from the 1972-73 Governor's Office budget.
He emphasized that the reimbursement decision was made not because
it would have been improper or illegal for the agency and departments
to share the costs themselves but rather because the funds were
available in the Governor's Office budget.
Keeping costs down at every level of state government has been a
hallmark of this administration, he said. "And, I am proud to say
that because the Governor's Office kept its operating cost to a minimum,
we were in a position to provide the reimbursement.
"In taking this action, we have removed from those who would divert
attention from the real issue before the people the opportunity they
seek to further confuse and mislead the people about our efforts to
dramatically reduce the tax burden and the unchecked growth of
government in the years ahead," he said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"I'm very pleased that State Controller Houston Flournoy, after
long and careful consideration of the tax limitation initiative has
strongly endorsed both its concept and what it seeks to accomplish for
the taxpayers of California."
As he has said, "the tax paying general public is obviously and
rightfully frustrated by numerous promises to curb government spending, "
and that "this initiative gives the public a chance to relieve that
frustration" at the polls November 6.
He has rightly pointed out "the initiative itself contains
sufficient flexibility to allow the state to meet essential obligations"
to the people.
With respect to the controller's questions regarding the 1973-74
revenue base and the maintenance of essential government services, I
want to reaffirm this administration's contention that the state budget
I will propose for 1974-75 will be ample to assure that the state's
needs continue to be met.
From the very beginning, it was the intent of the drafters of the
initiative that the state's sales tax revenues must be included in the
revenue base. I am confident that the attorney general should and will
take that into account in any opinion he may wish to render. And again,
I want to repeat my prediction that next year's budget will be between
400 and 500 million dollars greater than the current state budget.

the following bills:
SB 517 - Beilenson
Deletes from the California freeway and expressway
system that portion of Route 2 from Route 405 to
Glendale Boulevard in Los Angeles County.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Within 20 years it is estimated that the average
daily traffic in this corridor will approach
170,000 vehicles. It is therefore clear that it
is one of major importance to both the region and
the state.
"At the present time a study of alternate modes of
transportation in this corridor is being conducted
by the Southern California Association of Governments
as a part of its regional transportation plan. The
study includes the question of whether a freeway or
some other mode of transportation would best serve
the needs and desires of the people.
"I continue to be personally opposed to the construc-
tion of a multilane freeway through ihis transporta-
tion corridor and have ordered that no action be
taken to implement any such project pending a
thorough evaluation of all alternative means of
handling this transportation volume. But to delete
this route from the freeway and expressway system
at this time would be premature and ill advised.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 763 - Roberti
Revises the procedure regarding rehearing of order
and findings of juvenile court referees, including
modifying provisions relating to extension of time
for granting of rehearings. The bill authorizes a
juvenile court judge to vacate or modify an order
not supported by substantial evidence or founded upon
erroneous theory of law as well as ordering a trial
de novo. The bill further provides that in certain
cases a judge of a juvenile court is without
jurisdiction to rehear any charge found to be untrue
by a referee.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The bill adds to the inflexibility of juvenile
court procedures. Juvenile courts assist minors
when they need counsel and guidance. As such,
court procedures should retain their flexibility
while at the same time affording juveniles due
process.
"In addition, the bill would serve to eliminate
many cases before they were heard by a juvenile
court judge. This would place an unwarranted
restriction on juvenile court judges who have the
responsibility of protecting the interests of
juveniles and society.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today urged Californians to observe Hunting
and Fishing Day Saturday, September 23, in a rededication to wise use
and proper management of natural resources in the state for the benefit
of future generations.
Saturday is the third annual observance of Hunting and Fishing Day
by national conservation organizations.
Governor Reagan said that hunters and anglers have been among the
leaders in major conservation programs in California and throughout
the nation.
"Through their publications and organizations such as the
National Wildlife Federation, Ducks Unlimited, the Izaak Walton League
of America and many others hunters and fishermen have been leaders in
the nation in the battle for a better environment and for the wise use
of our natural resources, " he said.
"They have played a major role in guiding our nation toward the
proper management of our natural resources. I urge our citizens to
rededicate themselves to wise use and proper management of our land, and
to the search for more knowledge about conservation and outdoor skills. "
The governor noted that sportsmen-conservationists have been
largely responsible for founding state fish and game agencies in all
50 states, and in supporting nongame fish and wildlife habitat
development.

following bills:
SB 388 - Alquist
Excepts rate increase proceedings from the
deliberations which the Public Utilities Commission
is presently authorized to conduct in executive
session.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The session of the Commission which would be
affected by this bill is its weekly conference at
which the Commissioners consider, comment and vote
upon proposed decisions involving applications for
rate increases by regulated utilities. A proposed
written decision for consideration and adoption at
this session is the end result of an extensive process
in which full public participation is provided for in
several different ways.
"The record upon which the decision is made is
developed in public hearings. The final decision
is written so that the public may know the reasons
for each aspect OF a decision. Furthermore, the
decision is signed by the commissioners who voted
for it.
"I question whether the enactment of SB 388 would
produce any real public benefit and could ultimately
prove detrimental to the public interest because of
its adverse effect on rational, thorough and
expeditious decision-making by the Commission.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 1088 - Nejedly
Requires the Department of Corrections and Adult
Authority to promulgate, file, and publish their
rules in the California Administrative Code according
to the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Current law provides adequate procedures for the
adoption and change of departmental rules.
"Great care is taken to notify all inmates of current
rules and rule changes. Copies of the rules are also
made available to the public on request.
"The rules and regulations of the Department of
Corrections and the Adult Authority are guidelines
for the internal operation of the department and for
the conduct of prison inmates. The procedures
currently utilized provide a maximum of expert
advice and consideration in this highly specialized
area. Therefore, it would be unwise to apply the
cumbersome processes of the Administrative Procedure
Act to rules which govern the management of our penal
system.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today for the signing into law
of one of the most important measures to come out of the legislature

"In ceremonies such as this, I usually say 'I am happy to sign, or
'it is a pleasure to sign this bill,' or words to that effect. I don't
have those feelings today. But I do have the feeling of satisfaction
that comes from doing something that you know is right. There is no
way of knowing how many lives of innocent, law-abiding citizens this

"I want to commend Senator George Deukmejian for authoring the bill,

and the various organizations represented here for supporting the bill.
Your actions have strengthened the cause of justice in California."

Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced the following bills
have been vetoed:
SB 341 - Roberti
Provides that a juvenile court shall not consider a
social study or other written report of a probation
officer prior to or during an adjudicatory hearing.
REASON FOR VETO:
"SB 341 initially codified existing case law
concerning the review of a social report made by a
probation officer prior to the jurisdictional
hearing. However, the bill as finally amended goes
beyond the decisions of the courts by providing for
the exclusion of any other report, whether otherwise
admissible or not. I feel this exclusion of possible
pertinent information would not be in the best
interest of the juvenile justice system.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "
SB 389 - Alquist
Requires the Public Utilities Commission to inspect
and audit for regulatory and property tax purposes
at least every three years the books of every
electrical, gas, heat, pipeline, railroad, telegraph,
telephone, and water corporation serving over 500
customers, and at least every five years of every
such corporation serving 500 or fewer customers. The
bill requires the commission to furnish reports of
such inspections and audits and other pertinent
information to the state Board of Equalization for
use in the assessment of public utilities.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The legislature, at the recommendation of the Depart.
ment of Finance and the Legislative Analyst, added
six positions to the Public Utilities Commission
budget for 1973-74 to conduct a two-year pilot pro-
gram to perform regular audits as required by SB 389.
That audit program is running on schedule. To expand
this program when a pilot study is underway, and
before it has been fully evaluated, would not be in
the public interest.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "
- 3 -
#493
SB 1161 - Behr
Permits cities receiving the $5,000 annual allocation
from the Aeronautics Account to expend such funds for
maintenance of capital improvements.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The basic purpose of the Aeronautics Account is to
provide "seed money" to encourage local government to
make necessary improvements to its airports. By
using the funds for maintenance purposes, the fund
is diminished for capital improvements and the state
airport development plan is compromised.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 1184 - Short
Provides that an applicant for a psychiatric
technician's license shall be considered to have been
licensed not later than 21 days after passing the
Board of Vocational Nurse and Psychiatric Technician
Examiners' licensing examination and that such
licensure shall be considered valid for all purposes
until revoked by the board upon a final determination
that all requirements for a license have not been met.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I am advised that the sponsors are concerned about
the fact that persons who take the same examination
sometimes receive their licenses at different times
because of delay in the Board's receipt of the reports
from the Department of Justice necessary to evaluate
the applicants' background. This in turn leads to
different seniority dates for employees who may have
taken the examination at the same time.
"Although I agree with the need to remedy this
condition, SB 1184 is not the appropriate remedy.
Several applications are denied each year because
of the applicant's prior conviction of criminal
offenses involving drugs and sexual perversion. These
crimes are particularly relevant to the work of a
psychiatric technician. It would not be in the
public interest to allow persons convicted of such
crimes to practice during the period between
successful completion of the examination and final
determination of disqualification, which could
involve several months.
"I am asking the agencies concerned to make a strong
effort to resolve the problem administratively, but
in the meantime the enactment of this bill would not
be in the public interest.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 1151 - Brown
Requires the court that impaneled the grand jury,
if no indictment was returned by that grand jury,
under specified circumstances, to order disclosure
to the defendant and the prosecutor of all or part
of the testimony of witnesses before the grand jury
for use in pending or subsequent criminal proceedings.
REASON FOR VETO:
"If an indictment is returned, current law allows for
disclosure of testimony of any grand jury witness
who is going to testify in court. This protects the
defendant against inconsistent statements.
"If there is no indictment, it means the grand jury
has rejected the combined evidence for the purposes
offered and the reporter is not required to transcribe
his notes. If the district attorney proceeds on
another theory, the evidence is available if a
subsequent indictment is returned.
"Witnesses should be encouraged to testify freely
before a grand jury. These unsuccessfully accured
before a grand jury deserve the protection provided
now of not having those accusations made public.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
-4-
#493
AB 2349 - Waxman
equires the Board of Vocat. nal Nurse and
Psychiatric Technician Examiners to hold at least
four, rather than at least two, examinations for
vocational nurse applicants each year. The bill
would eliminate the Board's authority to require an
applicant to take additional study if he fails two
examinations.
REASON FOR VETO:
"This authority provides a valuable safeguard to the
public in the case of applicants whose prior
examination failures reflect inadequate preparation,
particularly those applicants who qualify for the
examination on the basis of experience equivalent to
the training in an accredited school. Because of the
dangers involved in using examinations as a sole
test of competence, the additional safeguard afforded
by present law should be retained.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
Governor Ronald Reagan today signed SB 541 with the following
reduction:
SB 541 - Way
Provides for partial state reimbursement of costs of
Chapter 717
reconstruction and maintenance of nonproject levees
in the Delta by local agencies pursuant to plans
approved by the Reclamation Board in accordance
with criteria adopted by the Board after recommenda-
tion by the Department of Water Resources.
REDUCTION:
"The reduced appropriation for 1973-74 is adequate
to encourage needed federal participation in the
upgrading of non-project levees.
"I am reducing the appropriation contained in
Section 4 of Senate Bill No. 541 from $300,000
to $200,000.
"With the above reduction, I approve Senate Bill
No. 541."

Gray's salary and expenses will be paid by Californians for Lower
Taxes, the citizens' group sponsoring Proposition 1.
In addition to coordinating and directing the governor's own press
involvement in the campaign, Gray will have overall responsibility for
the media efforts of Californians for Lower Taxes.
"The issue in this election is of such importance to California's
taxpayers and the future well-being of our state that every effort must
be made to counter the dishonest statements which the opponents of
Proposition 1 have begun to circulate," the governor said.
"The issue is whether the tax spenders and the biggest vested
interests in the state will be able to frighten and confuse the people
with downright distortions and falsehoods about the initiative, or
whether the people learn the truth about the real provisions of
Proposition 1---to limit and substantially cut their taxes while
maintaining and improving essential government services in the future,"
he added.
Governor Reagan said "the leave of absence will enable Gray to
devote his full-time to the campaign, including helping to counter the
selfish dishonesty of the opponents who are doing their best to mislead
the people on this crucial issue."

Governor Ronald Reagan today urged California parents to join forces
with health organizations in supporting Immunization Action Month in
October.
"Mrs. Reagan and I feel that parents of young preschool children,
especially, should take part in this national effort to control infectious
diseases that can cripple or destroy,' the governor said.
"We are pleased that the state Health Department's Advisory Group on
Immunization Action Month has asked Nancy to be honorary chairman of the
campaign in California. She will appeal directly to mothers of young
children, through television and radio announcements, to see their own
doctor or to visit a local health department immunization clinic."
The governor said the U.S. Center for Disease Control is coordinating
a nationwide drive in October to raise community levels of immunization
against polio, measles, rubella (German measles), diptheria, tetanus and
pertussis (whooping cough). In California more than half of the
preschoolers have not been immunized against rubella.
"President Nixon and Casper Weinberger, his top health official have
directed the Center for Disease Control to begin a continuing drive agains
crippling childhood diseases, " Governor Reagan said.
"The first phase will include emphasis on adequate polio immunization
because so many young parents are not fully aware of how dangerous and
costly this disease can be. About 27 percent of California children
aged 1 to 4 are not protected against polio, and I suspect this is
because many parents are unaware that we could have epidemics here again."
Parents who cannot afford full private medical care for their
children may go to a local health department immunization clinic, where
the charge is nominal or will be waived entirely.
The national and state drives will continue during the remainder of
1973 and in 1974.
The governor said a survey conducted by the state Department of
Health this summer showed:
--About 29 percent of California children under 1 and 26 percent aged
1-4 are inadequately protected against diptheria, tetanus and whooping
cough.
--About 33 percent of the 1-4 year-old youngsters have not had
measles or received measles vaccine.
--More than 50 percent of children 1-4 are not immunized against
rubella.
California has approximately 1.3 million children aged 1-4. Governor
Reagan noted that state law requires as a condition of first admission to
public or private schools that students be immunized against polio,
measles, diptheria, tetanus and whooping cough. There are certain
exceptions to the law, including religious beliefs that would be in
conflict with immunization practices.

SB 1266 - Alquist
Amends the California Emergency Services Act so that
Chapter 762
the owner of a qualifying dam is only required to
submit one inundation map showing the potential flood
zone which could result from a failure of the dam at
full capacity. The bill permits the owner to also
file maps showing potential flooding when the
reservoir is at median and normally low storage
levels if the owner determines such filing desirable.
Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced the following bills
have been vetoed:
AB 984 - Dixon
Amends the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937
to increase retirement allowances and to permit
retirement at age 47 rather than age 50, if these
provisions are adopted by resolution of the board of
supervisors.
REASON FOR VETO:
"No compelling reason has been advanced to support
the minimum retirement age proposed by this bill.
The existing minimum retirement age is one of the most
liberal among public retirement plans in California.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 38 - Chappie
Makes applicable to school districts generally, rather
than only community college districts, the exemption
from requirement for voter approval of school district
transactions for the lease or lease-purchase of
school buildings and facilities, in cases in which the
proposed transaction would not effect an increase in
the districts' maximum permissible tax rate.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I am vetoing this bill because I feel that long term
commitments of public tax revenues should have the
approval of the voters. If local taxpayers see fit
to vote down a proposal to build a new school unit in
their area, then I see no justification in the
legislature overriding that decision.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 471 - Duffy
Appropriates $200,000 to the Board of Governors of
the California Community Colleges to establish,
administer, and operate training programs for
psychiatric technicians.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The state is now providing Community Colleges with
more than $245 million annually, including $65
million in new funds this year. I feel this bill is
no longer financially necessary. The Community
Colleges will have sufficient funds to augment or
develop vocational and occupational courses such as
the psychiatric technician program proposed in this
measure.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned."

#498
AB 693 - Keene
Requires the Director of Health to establish a two-
year community dental clinic pilot program in
Mendocino County. The bill appropriates $28,000 for
such program.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Providing direct and general dental services at the
taxpayers' expense is contrary to this administra-
tion's policy. At the present time the state provides
emergency dental services to needy persons and their
families through the Medi-Cal program. In addition,
the federal government provides these services to
other persons through Medi-Care and similar programs.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 1860 - Fenton
Enables a municipal court judge to elect, within 90
days of the first term of office or the effective date
of the act, to enroll in a health benefit program
under the Meyers-Geddes Act.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The precedent established by AB 1860 could open the
door to enrollment in the state program by other
employee classifications providing specialized
treatment for certain employees and not authorizing
the same health benefits for all employees.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 196 - Grunsky
Provides for continuation of part of a retirement
allowance to spouse, child or dependent parents after
death of state miscellaneous and school members of
the Public Employees' Retirement System.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I recognize that this measure would provide a
valuable employee benefit. However, it would be
premature to sign the bill at this time. An omnibus
bill, covering all state employee benefits, including,
retirement benefits, will be introduced in the
legislature early next year.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 526 - Grunsky
Includes agents of the Law Enforcement Liaison Unit
of the Department of Corrections in the classification
of a peace officer and authorizes such agents to
possess and carry tear gas weapons.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I am vetoing this bill at the author's request. He
has advised me that the bill is technically deficient
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 613 - Grunsky
Specifies that school district governing board
compliance with requirement of availing itself of the
advice of specified certificated instructional
personnel regarding evaluation and assessment guide-
lines and procedures shall be pursuant to the Winton
Act.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Senate Bill 613 does not address itself to the
question of whether or not a complete renegotiation
of all such guidelines in every school district would
be required. In this area, the bill is both deficient
and ambiguous and would cause unnecessary renegotia-
tion expense and litigation in many school districts.
"Accordingly I am returning the bill unsigned."
Governor Reagan today signed AB 799 with the following reduction.
AB 799 - Badham: - Revises various provisions of the Community Advisers
Law which is retitled as the California Commodity Law. The bill also
imposes various new duties on Commissioner of Corporations relating to the
regulation of commodities transactions.
REDUCTION: "I am reducing the appropriation contained in Section 47 of
Assembly Bill No. 799 from $111,283 to $86,033. The appropriation con-
tained in this bill was computed on a full-year basis. It has been re-
duced to reflect that portion of the 1973-74 fiscal year when the bill
will be in effect. With the above reduction, Iapprove AB 799."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced he has accepted the
resignation of his Education Advisor, Dr. Alex C. Sherriffs, who, this
afternoon, was named vice chancellor for academic affairs by the board
of trustees of the California State University and Colleges.
Dr. Sherriffs, who has been Governor Reagan's chief advisor on
education since 1968, will assume his new position October 1, 1973. He
succeeds Dr. William B. Langsdorf who is retiring after a 14-year
administration career with the 19-campus system.
"I regret that Dr. Sherriffs will be leaving my staff, Governor
Reagan said. "I have relied upon his knowledge and expertise on
educational affairs almost daily for the past several years and he has
done an outstanding job. I am confident he will make a valuable
contribution to the administration of our university and college system
particularly to its students and faculty.
Dr. Sherriffs, in a steady and even-handed manner, has been able to
explain to such diverse elements as the Department of Finance, the
legislature, agency heads, and the public, including this office, the
needs and aspirations of the several segments of education, including
elementary, secondary and higher education.
"He has done much to bring together those of different views so
there could be a common understanding of the important aspects of
education today.
"I regret that Alex is leaving Sacramento, but I recognize that
this is an excellent opportunity in his chosen profession."
Dr. Sherriffs has been on leave from the University of California
at Berkeley since assuming his responsibilities with the governor.
His broad experience includes serving as vice chairman of the
Department of Psychology at Berkeley, and the University's vice
chancellor for student affairs.
Born in December, 1917, at San Jose, Dr. Sherriffs is a 1939
graduate of Stanford University with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics.
He received his Masters and Doctorate Degrees from Stanford in 1941 and
1946, respectively.
His publications in recent years have dealt with issues of relevance
in education, changing relationships between the public and campus, and
the technical aspects of school finance.
Prior to joining the U.C. Berkeley faculty in 1944, Dr. Sherriffs
taught at Stanford and San Jose State College.
Dr. and Mrs. Sherriffs will make their home in Los Angeles.

REASON FOR VETO:
"The majority of the services to be provided by the
Indian education centers are presently available or
may be provided through a number of existing local,

"To commit the state to a permanent program of this
magnitude without determining if the proposed services

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that Fresno has been
selected as the site of the first of five regional workshops attacking
alcoholism, venereal disease, drug abuse and dental disease.
Statewide community action forces, called "Strike Forces,' = are being
mobilized under leadership of the Health and Welfare Agency to cut
across bureaucratic boundaries in fighting what the governor called the
four major family health problems affecting millions of Californians.
The Fresno workshop, bringing together county health and mental
health officials, service clubs involved in community action projects,
community leaders and interested citizens, will be Saturday, October 13,
at the Airport Marina Hotel, 5115 East McKinley Avenue.
Representatives from Fresno, Kings, Inyo, Kern, Madera, Mariposa,
Merced, Mono, Stanislaus, Tulare and Tuolumne counties are expected to
attend.
E. G. (Jack) Crews of Fresno, an official of Optimists International,
is the Fresno Workshop coordinator.
California Secretary of Health and Welfare, Earl Brian, will be the
keynote speaker at the workshop. The agenda will include presentations
by state officials on each of the four health problems and an outline
of the Strike Force master plan by David Winston, assistant Health
and Welfare Secretary.
Participants will be involved in identifying specific community
problems, defining community action projects, and organizing "grass
roots" efforts to treat and prevent the four health problems.
The other four Strike Force Regional Workshops are scheduled for
Sacramento, October 27, coordinated by Mrs. Stephen Guensler, California
Federation of Women's Clubs, Junior membership; San Diego, November 3,
with joint chairmen Dr. Kenneth Forrer and Philip Robinson, Kiwanis
International; San Jose, November 10, headed by Dean Skeels, Optimists
International; and Los Angeles, November 17, Bob Uda, Jaycees.
(The Strike Force concept was originally announced last February by
Secretary Brian. A statewide planning workshop involving service club
representatives and state officials was held in Sacramento July 17-18).

Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced the following bills have
been vetoed:
AB 120 - Arnett
Changes the definition of "household" for the purposes
of the Senior Citizens Property Tax Assistance Law
to include only the owners and their spouses living
in the home.
REASON FOR VETO:
"This redefinition of household is broad enough to
increase the cost of the Senior Citizens Property Tax
Assistance Program by $3 million. While changes in
the definition of "household" may be appropriate, I
am sure the particular problem that the author was
intending to resolve can be met at significantly less
cost to the state.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 122 Vasconcellos Permits the governing board of any school district
or any county superintendent of schools to maintain
classes on Saturday or Sunday. Attendance would be
voluntary and classes offered must be offered during
the week.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I am vetoing this bill at the request of the author.
He has advised me that the bill requires further
amendment.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 235 - Papan
Eliminates the prohibition against granting Senior
Citizens Property Tax Assistance to welfare recipients
REASON FOR VETO:
"I have recently signed Senate Bill 582, which makes
aged, blind, and disabled recipients eligible to
receive a special needs payment of up to $500 per
year to help pay their property taxes. Thus the
property tax needs of these recipients will continue
to be met until the policies addressed by this bill
are reviewed more thoroughly.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 1801 - Keysor
Requires, rather than permits, a school district,
which has been so authorized by an employee, to make
deductions from salary of a certificated employee for
organizational dues. The bill provides that any
revocation of a written authorization to make such
deductions shall be in writing and shall be effective
commencing with the next pay period.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The decision as to whether deductions are made for
professional organization dues properly rests with
the local school district. There is no compelling
need for the state to compel districts to make such
deductions.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
- 3 -
#503
AB 2353 - Karabian
includes as an employer who is required to pay costs
of a driver's license physical examination of an
employee, any county with a population of over
4,000,000 and political subdivisions therein.
REASON FOR VETO:
"AB 2353 can be construed to limit the application of
Section 231 of the Labor Code to only cities within
Los Angeles County. For this reason, I believe the
bill is technically deficient.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "
SB 1044 - Dills
Creates a new district agricultural association
designated as the 54th District and to be known as the
Watts Industrial Fair. This fair is in the Watts
area in Los Angeles and the district is carved out of
the existing 48th District.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The creation of this new fair could result in an
undetermined shift in capital outlay funds from
existing fairs. I am not satisfied with the rationale
surrounding the need for another fair within Los
Angeles County.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "
SB 1067 - Zenovich
Requires a distilled spirits manufacturer, as well as
a retailer, who performs the functions of a whole-
saler, to comply with provisions of Alcoholic Beverage
Control Act applicable to holder of a distilled
spirits wholesaler's license. The bill limits such
functions to include only act of selling to retailers
REASON FOR VETO:
"This in essence would mean that distilled spirits
rectifiers and manufacturers would be required to
change their method of operation with regard to sales
to retailers. The end result of such a change in law
would be that the consumer price of private label or
"store brand" distilled spirits will be increased.
"In addition, it is possible that this legislation
might force some distilled spirits rectifiers to
totally eliminate their sales to retailers. This
again leads me to question whether this would benefit
the consuming public.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
Governor Ronald Reagan today signed SB 753 with the following
deletion.
SB 753 - Alquist
Requires the state Architect to develop and apply
Chapter 877
energy conservation standards for the design of new
state buildings, and declares that the policy of the
state shall be to make the conservation of energy
resources a prime consideration in the design of state
buildings.
DELETION:
"I am deleting the $20,000 appropriation contained
in Section 3 of Senate Bill No. 753.
"I am advised that federal funds are available to
implement the provisions of this bill.
"With the above deletion, I approve Senate Bill 753, "

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that "Employ the
Handicapped Month" will be observed in California throughout the month
of October.
The purpose of the month-long observance, he said, is to acquaint
employers with the availability of job-ready handicapped persons.
"We feel," the governor said, "the employment of these worthy
members of our population is deserving of more time and emphasis than
the annual one week special emphasis we have given to it in past years."
Governor Reagan has directed Earl Brian, secretary of Health and
Welfare, to spearhead the observance.
Two Health and Welfare departments, the Departments of Rehabilita-
tion and Human Resources Development (HRD), placed over 30,000 handicapped
persons in jobs last year.
Californias total labor force consists of over 9,000,000 persons,
both non-handicapped and handicapped. Of this number about 600,000
handicapped men and women are working. But there are 190,000 other
handicapped persons not in the labor force who are able and want to
work, the governor noted.
"People who employ the handicapped in business, industry and
other fields testify that employing job-ready handicapped persons in
suitable jobs is good business," Governor Reagan said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the creation of a State
Energy Planning Council, chaired by Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke.
The council is the outgrowth of administrative study regarding
the utilization and conservation of the state's energy resources.
Also serving on the council will be: state agency secretaries;
executive assistant to the governor; president of the Public Utilities
Commission; the director of the Office of Planning and Research; and
the director of the Office of Science and Technology.
The council will be advisory to Governor Reagan, It will
coordinate all state activities regarding energy resources, monitor the
status of energy problemsand solutions, and formulate and recommend to
the governor policy alternatives and actions.
The council will also coordinate a program of research and
development of energy resources, review and make recommendations on
legislation, propose new legislation regarding energy matters, and
develop plans for the most effective use of available energy resources
in emergency situations.
The Energy Planning Council is one result of the State Energy
Workshop, held last spring and chaired by Reinecke. One recommendation
of that workshop was that the state take action to play a more active
role in relation to energy matters.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced he has signed the following
bills:
SB 281 - Grunsky
Appropriates $145,300 to Department of Education
Chapter 878
for the establishment and maintenance of a unit of
the state library to furnish library services to the
blind and the physically handicapped persons.
Governor Ronald Reagan today vetoed the following bills:
AB 1447 - Keene
Amends Section 601 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code by amending the language which would give the
juvenile court jurisdiction over any person under
the age of 18 years who "by his own actions is in
danger of leading an idle, dissolute, lewd, or immoral
life."
REASON FOR VETO:
"There is ample reason for the juvenile court to
retain jurisdiction over youths who are in danger
of ruining their lives. In many cases, the court can
provide the necessary guidance and protection that
most youths require.
"Moreover, this bill neglects to consider the
existence of Penal Code section 272, prohibiting
acts which contribute to the delinquency of minors.
It would appear that the prosecution of adults for
acts which would place a minor in a delinquency
situation would be rendered impossible under this bill
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 411 - Rodda
Increases the maximum number of college opportunity
grants for fiscal years 1974-75, 1975-76, and 1976-77
from 2,000 to 3,000.
REASON FOR VETO:
"There is probably no area to which this administration
has given greater impetus than to the field of
scholarships. The number of available state
scholarships has increased dramatically over the past
six years. The budget for the current year substan-
tially increases the availability of grants for low
income students under the EOP program and opens it,
for the first time, to upper division students.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
