Whittlesey of Carmichael as state director of housing and\ncommunity development.\nThe appointment, requiring Senate confirmation, carries an annual\nsalary of $28,296. Whittlesey will serve at the pleasure of the governor.\nCurrently the state Department of Health's deputy director for\nlegislation, Whittlesey succeeds Robert J. DeMonte, now director of the\ngovernor's office of planning and research.\nThe 50-year-old Republican has been with the Health Department\nsince last March, after joining the state Health and Welfare Agency as\nassistant to the secretary for legislation in 1971. For seven years\nbefore that, he was an administrative assistant to Senator Gordon\nCologne.\nBetween 1958 and 1964, Whittlesey was assistant city manager and\nplanning director for the cities of Indio and Colton.\nThe long-time Coachella Valley resident served four years during\nWorld War II as an enlisted man in the U.S. Navy and two years as a\ncommissioned officer following his graduation from Annapolis in 1949.\nWhittlesey had his own insurance business in the early 1950s. He\nran unsuccessfully for the 75th Assembly District seat in 1970.\nHis many community activities included serving on the President's\nCommunity Lay Committee for Education and the Citizens' Committee for\nMaster Plan Development. He has held offices in the American Legion,\nIndio Exchange Club, Coachella Valley Advisory Planning Committee and was\na district deputy for the BPO Elks.\nWhittlesey has been a member of the Republican State Central\nCommittee since 1964.\n######\nAddress:\n4935 Heatherdale Lane\nCarmichael 95608\nMcKelvey\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE:\nTUESDAY P.Ms.\nSacramento, Californ\n95814\nANUARY 8, 1974\nClyde Waltball, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n1-7-74\nPLEASE GUARD AGAINST PREMATURE\nRELEASE\n#4\nHIGHLIGHTS\nLOCAL ASSISTANCE BUDGET\nThe governor's Local Assistance Budget for 1974-75 increases state\ncontributions to local government by 3.8 percent, from $6,360,210,784\n(1973-74) to $6,599,800,515 (1974-75)\nEDUCATION (K-14)\nThe proposed governor's budget includes approximately $2.662 billion\nfor financing both local elementary and secondary schools, grades K-12,\nand community colleges, grades 13 and 14.\nOf this total, $2.166 billion is allocated for direct local support\nof grades K-12; $307.3 million is allocated for local support of\ncommunity colleges; $6.2 million is earmarked for community college\nstudent financial aid; $135 million for the state contribution to the\nTeachers' Retirement Fund, and $48 million for debt service on Public\nSchool Building Bonds.\nK-12 Education\nThe proposed budget includes approximately $2.349 billion for\nfinancing local schools (including Debt Service on local school bonds\nand Teachers' Retirement), grades K-12. Of this total, $2.346 billion is\nfrom the General Fund. This represents a 74 percent increase in state\nsupport to K-12 local schools since Governor Reagan first took office.\nDuring the same period, it is estimated that the average daily attendance\nin grades K-12 will have increased only 1.1 percent and the cost of\nliving, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index, 41 percent (1967-68\nto projected 1974-75).\nDuring the current fiscal year, total expenditures for grades K-12\nare estimated at about $2.224 billion General Fund, including Debt\nService on local school bonds and Teachers' Retirement. Thus, the state\ncontribution to local schools, General Fund, is increased $122 million\nover the current fiscal year.\nPassage of AB 1267, Chapter 208, Statutes of 1973, provides a\nstatutory cost of living increase to California school districts\nbeginning in 1974-75. This legislation increases the State Foundation\nProgram levels by $60 per elementary and high school ADA in 1974-75, and\nprovides for future cost of living increases in Foundation Program levels.\nA $60 increase per ADA will provide a 6.3 percent increase for high school\nand 7.8 percent increase for elementary schools.\n#4\nCalifornia's burg oning population of young p-ople led to a\nconcentration on providing \"more\" education in the 1960s. With a leveling\noff of K-12 enrollment, there is now the opportunity to concentrate on\n\"better\" education:\n1. Through the Development Centers for Handicapped Minors, the state\nprovides a special program for severely handicapped children to help these\nspecial children live a more normal and adjusted life. Since 1962 when\nthe development centers began as pilot programs, the number of children\nserved has increased from 32 to more than 2,700 in 1974. In 1973 the\nprogram will expand by 200 children and in 1974 by an additional 100. This\nwill be achieved by a 1974-75 budget augmentation of $990,000 for a total\nprogram budget of $6,012,630.\n2. Early Childhood Education was started in 1973-74 fiscal year with an\nappropriation of $25 million to fund specialized educational programs for\nschool students, kindergarten through the third grade. Through the efforts\nof the early childhood education program, it has been possible to provide\nschool districts with the latitude of serving their students through a\nconsolidation of ECE and other primary grade categorical aid programs.\nWithin 1974-75 an additional $15 million is provided for Early Childhood\nEducation increasing the state effort in this program to $40 million in\n1974-75.\n3. During the 1974 legislative session, the governor will propose\nbilingual education legislation to enhance the educational opportunities\nof students whose language and culture differ from those of the dominant\nsociety. It is estimated that within this group of school children there\nexists a 37 percent school dropout rate as compared to a 16 percent\ndropout rate for children in the total population. Four million dollars\n($4,000,000) has been included in the 1974-75 Department of Education\nbudget for the purposes of the anticipated legislation.\nCommunity Colleges\nThe governor's proposed 1974-75 budget for California's 97 community\ncollege campuses includes $307.3 million General Fund in direct local\nsupport and an additional $6.2 million for Student Assistance, During the\ncurrent fiscal year, state General Fund expenditures for these purposes\nare estimated at $266.1 million.\n- 2 -\n#4\nThe 1973-74 tota includes $66.5 million of .ew state financing for\ncommunity colleges which was made possible by the enactment of SB 6\n(Chapter 209, Statutes of 1973). It provides for (1) an increase in the\nstate foundation program level from $643 to $1,020 per student, (2) local\nproperty tax relief, and (3) for the first time, future statutory cost of\nliving increases in the state foundation program. In 1974-75 the state\nfoundation program will increase by $60 per student, a 5.8 percent\nincrease per ADA.\nState support for the community colleges has increased 241 percent\nsince Governor Reagan took office, while the average daily attendance in\ncommunity colleges has increased 66 percent.\nTAX RELIEF-SHARED REVENUES\nThe proposed 1974-75 budget will provide $1.059 billion in tax\nrelief. This does not include $75 million in tax credits for renters.\nThus, direct tax relief totals $1.134 billion, an increase of $71 million\nover the amount allocated during the current fiscal year.\nThe homeowners property tax exemption will total $668.5 million, an\nincrease of $17.2 million over 1973-74. The business inventory tax\nrelief program will total $261.5 million, or $39.6 million more than the\ncurrent year.\nProperty tax relief for senior citizens is budgeted at $60.1 million,\nand $20 million is included to reimburse local government for the open\nspace program under provisions of the Williamson Land Conservation Act.\nPayments to local government under the provisions of SB 90 (1972)\nfor sales and property tax revenue loss will total $4 million in 1974-75.\nRenters' tax relief, which provides an income tax credit and/or\nrefund, will total $120 million with direct payments of $45 million.\nThis is an increase of $5 million in direct payments to renters.\nShared revenues (money collected by the state and returned to local\ngovernments to finance various programs) will total $738 million in\n1974-75.\nHEALTH PROGRAMS\nDEPARTMENT OF HEALTH\nIn 1974-75 it is estimated that $2.46 billion will be expended from\nall sources (including Federal Funds) for local assistance for health\nprograms by the Department of Health. $1.057 billion of this total is\nfrom the state General Fund).\nThe 1974-75 budget for local assistance proposes $1,000,000 in\nGeneral Fund to provide services under the newly enacted Child Health\nscreening program AB 2068 (Chapter 1069, Statutes of 1973).\n- 3 -\nThe 1974-75 loca assistance budget also pr oses $181.9 million\nfrom the General Fund for Developmental Disabilities, an increase of\nmore than $11 million.\nThere will be three new regional centers for the Developmentally\nDisabled established in 1974-75, two in the Los Angeles area and one in\nSan Joaquin County. This will bring to 19 the number of such centers\nin\nestablished since 1965. An additional $4.9 million/General Fund has been\nproposed to serve increased caseload in the regional centers in 1974-75.\nIt is expected that a new Medi-Cal Intermediary System will be\nimplemented in 1974-75. The system will combine the best features of\nthe current Medi-Cal Management System and Medi-Cal Intermediary\nOperations and provide quick and accurate information on claims, providers\nand other information needed to manage the Medi-Cal program.\nDEPARTMENT OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS\nThe Department of Benefit Payments (formerly the Department of\nSocial Welfare) provides benefits to welfare recipients of $785 million\nin 1973-74 and $864 million in 1974-75. This increase of $79.4 million\nincludes necessary expenditures to cover the provisions of AB 134 (1973),\nthe state legislation implementing Title XVI of the Federal Social\nSecurity Act (HR 1). Included within the 1973-74 budget is an increase\nof approximately $61 million which will fund the necessary changes in\nthe current fiscal year as a result of HR 1.\nIt is estimated in 1974-75 the Department of Benefit Payments will\nprovide services to 1,911,000 welfare recipients exclusive of those\nreceiving food stamps. This average monthly caseload reflects a\nreduction of approximately 382,000 recipients below that of March 1971,\nthe start of the governor's welfare reform program.\nSTATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD\nChapter 508, Statutes of 1970, and Proposition 1 of the 1970 general\nelection, authorized the sale of $250 million in general obligation bonds\nThese funds are used to pay the state's share of costs for construction\nof water quality control projects throughout California. In fiscal year\n1974-75, this bond authorization will be fully obligated. Chapter 994\npassed by the legislature and signed by the governor in 1973, places a\nnew Clean Water Bond issue of $250 million on the June 1974 general\nelection to continue the grant program. Passage of this bond act will\nprovide approximately $40 million in clear water program benefits in\n1974-75.\n- 4 -\nR'\nMBURSEMENT OF LOCAL GOVERN\nNT\nFOR STATE MANDATED PROGRAMS\nThis budget is the first to reflect the cost of reimbursing local\ngovernmental entities under the provisions of SB 90, Chapter 1406,\nStatutes of 1972. The legislation requires the state to pay for\nadditional costs of local government resulting from revenue losses or\nprogram increases associated with state mandates. The budget for fiscal\nyear 1974-75 includes over $14 million to pay local governmental entities\nfor costs arising from the enactment of 12 bills which met the criteria\nof SB 90 regarding reimbursement for legislative mandates. In excess of\n$3 million will be expended for mandated costs during fiscal year 1973-74.\n#####\nWalthall\n- 5 -\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: AFTER 11 A.M. WEDNESDAY\nSacramento, California 5814\nJ. JARY 9, 1974\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n1-8-74\nPLEASE GUARD AGAINST PREMATURE\nRELEASE\n#5\n//\nGOVERNOR REAGAN\n1974 STATE OF THE STATE MESSAGE\n\"\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today urged the legislature to \"cast\npolitics aside\" to meet the energy crisis, assure public confidence in\ngovernment and otherwise make the decisions necessary for progress and\nprosperity in California during 1974. In his annual State-of-the-State\naddress, Governor Reagan outlined a comprehensive 30-point program,\nincluding steps to make the Secretary of State a non-partisan elective\nposition and to establish new safeguards against higher taxes.\nBeginning his eighth year as California's chief executive, the\ngovernor also called on the people of California to reduce their fuel\nand power consumption 10 percent to help conserve energy while longer\nterm solutions are going forward.\nWhile 1974 is an election year, the governor said: \"It is not a\ntime for politics as usual. Governomment's only reason for existing\nis to serve the people. If we are to serve their needs, we must cast\npolitics aside. We must demonstrate that government deserves the\npublic's trust.\"\nHe said although economic activity is expected to be reasonably\nstrong this year, the energy crisis would cause a downturn in state\nrevenues. \"But to answer one question you may have, the budget I present\nto you this week will be balanced. The scheduled (20 to 35 percent)\nincome tax rebates and property tax reductions will go forward. I see\nno need for any general tax increases this next fiscal year.'\nIn his televised remarks to a joint session of the legislature, the\ngovernor reviewed some of the major achievements during the past seven\nyears, including a cumulative total of more than $4 billion in tax relief,\nproperty tax reform, vastly improved state support for schools, and\nstronger criminal penalties. He singled out the bi-partisan support for\nwelfare reform for special mention and said it had become \"a model for\nthe nation.' 11\n\"One thing is clear,' the governor said. \"We served the people best\nwhen we paid more attention to the problems and less to the politics.\"\nENERGY CRISIS\nHis proposal for a 10 percent power and fuel cutback was listed with\nother steps already taken and forthcoming to help ease the energy crisis\non a short term basis, including reduced speed limits, daylight savings\ntime and a reduction in state energy use.\nTo further relieve the short-term problem, the governor:\n--Urged that the Elk Hills Naval Oil Reserve be opened to pump\nenough oil for current military needs, freeing a comparable amount of\nfuel now being consumed by the military from other sources for use in\nmeeting civilian needs.\n--Pledged that California would cooperate fully in any national\nprogram to conserve and fairly apportion available fuel and electric\npower.\nBut he said agriculture and industry must receive a high priority in\nany allocation program because cutbacks in those areas could mean fewer\njobs. \"It will do little good for someone to have all the gasoline he\ncan use, if he has no job to drive to because the industry for which he\nworked is shut down by an energy or fuel shortage.\"\nWhile those steps will help, the governor emphasized that the long\nterm answer to the energy crisis is for the state and nation to act now\nto \"free America forever of dependence on unstable foreign oil that can\nbe turned on and off at will, by those who would use world commerce for\neconomic blackmail and coercion. \"If we can put a man on the moon, we\ncan find ways to heat and light our homes and industries,' he said.\nAs part of this long term effort, the governor said the state is\nexploring the possibility of adding new hydro-electric units at Oroville\nDam and other existing dam sites to expand \"this source of smog free\nelectricity.\" He also recommended that planning start now for any\nfacilities necessary to receive oil from Alaska's North Slope.\nAnd, for the third year in a row, the governor urged legislative\naction on power plant siting. His administration, the governor said, is\nprepared to work with the lawmakers \"to reconcile our obvious differences\"\non power plant siting procedures.\nELECTIONS REFORM\nNoting the increasing responsibilities of the Secretary of State's\noffice in elections and reporting of campaign contributions, Governor\nReagan proposed a Constitutional Amendment to make this office a non-\npartisan position similar to the state superintendent of public\ninstruction. Such a step, he said, is necessary to eliminate any\nsuggestion of partisanship in the supervision of election and campaign\nlaws.\nHe also called for an independent citizens commission on elections\nto review ballot measures, monitor election reforms and otherwise\n\"protect the integrity of the entire election process. II\n- 2 -\n\"Such a commission could establish campaign and election policies\nin the same way the state Board of Education guides educational policy,'\nthe governor said.\nIn another major reform proposal, Governor Reagan unveiled a\nlegislative package designed to control government costs and hold down\ntaxes. \"It is essential to reduce and limit the tax burden on our people\nif our free economic system is to survive, he said. \"Even while\ndiffering over specifics, many of you have said (only recently) that\nlegislative action can control the size and cost of government. I ask\nyou to take that action this year. \"\nThe key part of the package is a proposed Constitutional Amendment\nrequiring the legislature to return to the governor a balanced budget\nor propose specific new taxes to bring it into balance, The state\nConstitution now requires the governor to submit a balanced budget and\nto propose higher taxes, if necessary, to make sure it is balanced,\"\nthe governor said. \"Since two safeguards are better than one, I shall\nask you to pass a Constitutional Amendment imposing the same restraint\non the legislative branch. \"\nAnother emphasis this year, he said, would be to present to the\nlegislature the findings and recommendations of his task force on local\ngovernment reform. The task force is nearing the end of a year-long\nreview of California's governmental structure and will propose ways to\nstreamline it and restore a greater degree of local autonomy. \"All of us\nmay find that the facts challenge many of our own long-held beliefs and\nassumptions, the governor said.\nIn other areas, he called again for mandatory prison sentences for\ncriminals who use weapons, tougher probation and parole policies; a law\nto make the California Ecology Corps permanent and announced plans for an\nAcademy for Educational Management to help administrators gain the\nexperience necessary to manage public schools more efficiently and\neconomically.\nHere, in brief, are the 30 major points in Governor Reagan's\nState-of-the-State address:\nBALANCED BUDGET/NO NEW TAXES\n1. Announced that the 1974-75 budget would be balanced, scheduled\nproperty tax reductions and income tax rebates on 1973 income would go\nforward as scheduled.\n2.\nSaid he sees no need \"for any general tax increases this next\nfiscal year.\"\nCONTROLLING COSTS/REDUCING TAX BURDEN\n3. Called for a Constitutional Amendment that would require the\nlegislature to return to the governor a balanced budget or propose\nspecific new taxes, if necessary, to balance it. (This would impose\non the legislative branch the same fiscal restraint that now requires a\ngovernor to submit a balanced budget or propose whatever taxes necessary\nto bring it in balance.)\nTo further encourage \"realistic budgeting,\" the governor asked for\na package of laws requiring that:\n4. --Any bill costing $1 million or more must provide for increased\nrevenues to finance it or specify how the budget could be reduced to\nabsorb the new spending program.\n5. --All bills with a fiscal impact must include a synopsis declaring\nthe measure's cost for the first four years.\n6. --Every bill imposing major new costs must include a separate fiscal\nanalysis noting whether it can be financed within existing revenues or\nif new taxes are required. \"If a tax increase is necessary, this fact\nand the amount of new taxes required should be spelled out clearly and\nsimply, in capital letters.\"\n7. Said the state should adopt a policy now of phasing out bridge tolls\nas bond debts that financed these structures are paid off.\nENERGY CRISIS ACTION\nReviewed the short term actions already taken, including daylight\nsavings time, reduced speed limit, cutbacks in state energy and fuel use,\nand:\n8. Asked all Californians to help meet the challenge of the energy\ncrisis by reducing their own energy use by 10 percent.\n9. Urged the federal government to open the Elk Hills Naval Oil Reserve\nto pump enough oil to meet military requirements, freeing gasoline and\nfuel for civilian needs until more permanent solution to energy shortage\nis achieved.\n10. Declared that \"California stands ready to cooperate fully in any\nnational program to conserve and fairly apportion available fuel and\nelectric power.\"\n11. Urged a \"high priority\" for agriculture and industry because \"any\nsevere cutbacks of energy for industry and agriculture mean fewer jobs.\n- 4 -\nLonger-Term Solutions\n12. Renewed his call for legislative action to speed authorization and\napproval of \"environmentally protected nuclear power plant sites\" and\nsaid the administration was prepared to work with the legislature to\n\"reconcile our obvious differences\" on this matter.\n13. Announced that the state was exploring the possibility of adding\nnew generating units at Oroville and other existing dams, to expand\nhydroelectric production's \"smog free electricity.\"\n14. Because California has no ports capable of handling super tankers,\nsaid state must begin planning now for any facilities necessary to\nreceive oil from Alaska's North Slope when it is available.\n15. Said the state must also move forward on solar energy research,\ngeothermal energy development and every other promising means of meeting\nenergy needs.\n16. Declared that \"where energy needs conflict with environmental goals,\nwe must strike a reasonable balance.\"\nELECTIONS REFORM\n17. Asked the legislature to propose to the people a Constitutional\nAmendment making the office of Secretary of State a non-partisan office,\nselecting this official on the same basis as the non-partisan state\nSuperintendent of Public Instruction.\n18. Proposed a Citizens Commission on Elections to serve as an\nindependent body to review and analyze initiatives and other ballot\nmeasures and to monitor election reforms and campaign practices.\nCRIME/CORRECTIONS\n19. Urged the legislature to consider recommendations by the governor's\nselect committee on law enforcement problems to \"streamline our criminal\njustice system and otherwise strengthen our ability to protect the law\nabiding.\"\n20. Announced he would again propose a law to \"impose mandatory prison\nsentences for those who commit a crime while armed.\"\n21. Advocated stricter controls on probation policies and said: \"where\nthere is any doubt in granting probation or parole, the doubt must be\nresolved in favor of protecting society.\"\nEDUCATION\n22.

This represents an 8.5 percent increase over the\n1973-74 budget.\n- 1 -\n#11\nEnrollment growth represents the largest factor of this increase\nwith some $10.6 million needed to handle enrollment increases. Also\nincluded in the 1974-75 budget is the continuation of the 1973-74\nappropriation of $1 million for the improvement of undergraduate teaching;\ncontinuation of the 1973-74 appropriation of $1.3 million for the\nExtended University; $500,000 of new monies to be used for the purpose\nof developing and implementing intra-and intersegmental library systems;\nand an additional $980,000 of new monies to improve the University's data\nprocessing management information systems.\nCalifornia State University and Colleges\nThe governor's proposed 1974-75 General Fund support budget for the\nCalifornia State University and Colleges is increased 8 percent over the\n1973-74 level. It is up $35.3 million, from $444.9 million to $480.2\nmillion, including proposed salary and employee benefit increases.\nBudget augmentations are directed toward program improvements and\nmaintenance.

In\naccordance with legislation signed by the governor, there will be an\nincrease in the state Scholarship Program in the number of awards from\n27,403 in 1973-74 to 32,134 in 1974-75 and the maximum award ceiling will\nincrease from $2,200 to $2,500.\nThe Occupational Training Grant Program, created in 1972, will\nreceive an additional $177,000 in 1974-75 in order to fund first and\nsecond-year occupation training students.

It has nothing to do with a tax\nlimitation. But it is a response to the crisis that our state park\nsystem is facing because of the unprecedented demands being made on\noutdoor recreation. Last year nearly one million people were turned\naway from our state parks because of over-crowding, and 85 percent of\nthem were Californians.\nPork nd\n\"Proposition 1 is a bond issue that will provide $250 million to\nhelp solve the problem. The money will be spent on beaches, parks,\nfor wildlife preservation, and for important historical features in the\nState Park System.\n\"This vital ballot measure includes $90 million that will go\ndirectly to cities, counties and special districts for parks, beaches\nand other recreation areas. Local government is strapped for park\nfunds throughout the state. And in these days of fuel shortages, the\nneed for more local recreation areas is obvious.\n\"Our parks, beaches and historical sites are the inheritance that\neach generation leaves to the next.
