Up to 20,000 patients a year will be treated at a new Veterans
Administration outpatient clinic planned for Sacramento, Governor
Ronald Reagan said today. The clinic will increase significantly the
health care facilities available to former servicemen in Northern
California.
In his budget message today in Washington, President Richard Nixon
asked Congress for $5,600,000 to operate and equip six clinics in urban
areas. The clinics would be in leased office or commercial buildings,
have a staff of 25 and be supported by the nearest VA hospitals.
The small clinic program is designed to meet pressing needs for
veterans' health care in urban areas, according to veterans administrator
Donald E. Johnson. The VA estimates the clinics can be established and
operated at a cost of $35 per patient visit.
The leased outpatient clinic program will augment a record $276
million VA construction program proposed for fiscal 1975.
Other clinics are proposed for Allentown, Pennsylvania; Evansville,
Indiana; Greenville, South Carolina; Lantana, Florida, and Beaumont,
Texas.

Governor Ronald Reagan today named state Social Welfare Director
David B. Swoap head of the new Department of Benefit Payments in the

In conjunction with the 36-year-old Swoap's appointment, the
Department of Social Welfare officially changes its name. Swoap will

organization. When organizational moves are completed, the department
will have about 2,300 employees: 1,250 from Employment Development,
900 from Social Welfare, and 150 from Health.
No major personnel actions are involved at this time.

director for two months after transferring from the State Personnel
Board, where he was assistant secretary for 13 months.
Prior to joining state government, Swoap was district coordinator
for State Senator Howard Way.
He received a bachelor's degree from Denison University in Ohio
and a master's from Claremont College.
He will continue to receive an annual salary of $33,960.

The following statement by Governor Ronald Reagan vas released 2-6-74
per telephone inquiries from AP and UPI:
"Ivy Baker Priest is a dedicated public servant and a truly
outstanding American. While I am sorry she has chosen not to
seek a third term as our treasurer, I most certainly understand
her motives. Family considerations and those of personal health
most assuredly should, and do, come first.
"She has given to Californians and to her country a total of
16 years of sound investment practices and financial expertise
which achieved economic benefits for the burdened taxpayers.
"In particular, it was through her efforts that California
received and kept a Triple-A bond rating. Unless you're a financial
wizard, that probably doesn't mean anything. But to the people of
this state it has meant the saving of millions of dollars in interest.
The taxpayers of California owe much to Ivy Baker Priest.
"From my own standpoint, Ivy has been 4 close personal and
political friend and I wish her well."

Governor Ronald Reagan today presented to U. S. Congressman
Alphonzo Bell ( Republican - 28th District) the first annual CACVE--
Governor's Award for Vocational Education in California.
The award, a plaque, was presented during a special meeting of
30 CACVE members in the Council Room of the Governor's Office. CACVE
stands for California Advisory Council on Vocational Education.
"We in California are striving for equal educational opportunities
for job preparation," said the governor, "and Congressman Bell's efforts
at the federal government level have given us a magnificent example to
follow."
Governor Reagan said there is a trend today toward the realization
that a successful and meaningful life can be obtained without the
requirement of a college degree. He said this is possible, in part,
because of the growing availability of technical expertise being
shown not only in vocational schools, but in public and private schools
as well.
"It is my observation that the traditional philosophy of
'sheepskinitis,' without regard to availabilities in the job market,
is less salable to the youth of today," the governor said. "Our
educational system should provide salable skills for everyone,
including those who desire to go into higher education. More and
more of our youth are demanding their education be relevant. They want
to be able to do something, as well as know something."
Bell, in his seventh Congressional term, is the ranking minority
member of the General Subcommittee on Education and third-ranking
minority member on the Education and Labor Committee.
During the Congressional debates in connection with the Vocational
Education Act of 1963, Bell said a strong national program of vocational
education was an important asset to the social and economic growth of
the nation. He played a strong supportive role in the Vocational
Education Amendments of 1968.
A native of Los Angeles, Bell is a member of a pioneer Southern
California family which developed the communities of Bell, Santa Fe
Springs and Bel Air. He received a degree in political science from
Occidental College and served in the Army Air Corps during World War II,
The Congressman is married tc actress Marian McCargo.

Governor Ronald Reagan tonight made the following remarks at the
first presentation of the John and Alice Tyler Ecology Awards at the
Beverly Wilshire Hotel:
"It gave me great pleasure one year ago to announce the establishment
of the $5 million John and Alice Tyler Ecology Fund to be administered
by Pepperdine University. Tonight all of us have been honored to watch
three distinguished gentlemen walk to this podium and come away with a
share of the first award. It was impossible to separate them in the
selection process. Each has contributed so much to achieving the
ecological balance necessary to preserve the wonders of this state, this
country and the world.
"California's concern for environmental protection and preservation
is not merely a reaction to the energy crisis facing us, but is a top
priority on the state's agenda. Our response in California---and the
response of our nation as well---to environmental problems is ongoing.
While the so-called 'hippie culture' received most of the headlines and
took credit for accepting ecology as its 'cause,' that was certainly not
the case.
"Conservative thinkers believe in conservation at all levels, and
that includes our natural resources. The spirit with which John and
Alice Tyler planned the awards presented here tonight is the same pioneer
spirit of free enterprise which will find the means to cope with all the
challenges the future may bring.
"With gentlemen such as Dr. G. Evelyn Hutchinson, Dr. Arie Jan
Haagen-Smit and Maurice Strong to lead the way, our challenges will be
that much easier to overcome.
"To Dr. Hutchinson, who is from another state, and Mr. Strong, who
is from another country, I would like to offer my special welcome to our
Golden State and congratulations on receiving the award.
"To our own Dr. Haagen-Smit, my good friend for many years, I would
say 'thank you' for his many contributions toward making California a
great place to live.

Governor Ronald Reagan today sent to the legislature a message
outlining a benefit package for state employees worth $45 million for
1974-75.
"This is the fulfillment of a pledge I made to you and to state
employees last year that our administration would present a balanced
program of employee benefits, Governor Reagan stated in his message to
the legislature.
"The first-year program which I will propose for alloting the $45
million is focused on what state employees perceive as their highest
priority need---increased take-home pay, " he added.
The governor and the state Personnel Board are recommending that
the state adopt a policy of considering prevailing practices in both
salaries and benefits in setting employee compensation. In this total
compensation method, salaries and benefits are surveyed separately for
comparability with prevailing practice and are adjusted separately.
Members of the administration will first meet and confer on benefit
proposals with interested employee organizations to develop enabling
legislation. The employee organizations will also be presented the
concepts for a longer range benefits program to be achieved. Subject
areas that will be discussed with the employee representative include:
--Basic policy statement adopting total compensation as method of
determining employee benefits.
--Increasing state share of medical insurance to 80 percent for
employee and 50 percent for dependents.
--Reducing retirement contributions of miscellaneous members, also
paying social security, from 12 to 10 percent of gross salary.
--Continue one-half of retirement allowance to survivors of
miscellaneous members not covered by social security.
--Establish a fully-paid life insurance program to improve on present
lump sum death benefit provided by PERS.
--Provide a one-time, catch-up adjustment in the allowance of
employees retired prior to July 1, 1971 under the old 1/60th formula.
--Eliminate election day as a state holiday and place one holiday
on a "floating" basis.
In addition, there are plans for benefit improvements for employees
of both segments of higher education. Non-academic employees of the
state University and College system are covered by the above proposals.
A task force has been formed to compare salaries for non-academic
personnel at the University with comparable salaried civil service
people. If the salaries are equal, the benefits should be equal.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"I know I won't be telling you something new or unusual when I
say we haven't as much gasoline as we've been used to having in the
past.
"But our situation here in California through the next few months
is not an emergency. With a little care and consideration, we'll have
enough for all our necessary driving.
"Everyone can have about 80 percent of the gasoline we had before
the energy shortage. This means we each only have to hold down our
driving by 20 percent.
"Eliminating some unnecessary errands, doubling up now and then,
holding down speed should do it.
"There is no need for panic or panic buying with the long lines
we've seen on television. May I suggest not buying until you have less
than half a tank.
"We have a contingency plan but we'd rather not have to use it,
and we won't, if we all just eliminate one mile out of five. There
will be an adequate supply for everyone."

Governor Ronald Reagan today reluctantly accepted the resignation
of Kenneth F. Hall, the state's chief deputy finance director.
Hall, 35, will be seeking the 34th Assembly District seat in
the June primary having established residence in Palmdale, a community

"A man of Ken Hall's caliber doesn't come along every day," said
Governor Reagan. "He is a young man of exceptional ability and
experience, and I wish him every success in the future.
"He has served this state as an outstanding negotiator and was
a principal architect of the hallmark Senate Bill 90 two years ago,
which gave us a new method of financing public schools, provided the
state's homeowners with much-needed property tax relief and, for the
first time, established property tax rate limits for all local
government agencies."
Hall, according to the governor, also played a key role in
formulating the Reagan welfare reform program and was instrumental
in negotiations with the legislature last year on the governor's
proposals for $400 million in income tax relief and a $300 million
sales tax reduction.
On behalf of the governor and the state Department of Finance,
Hall appeared before numerous Senate and Assembly committees.
Before becoming chief deputy finance director in 1970, he was
deputy secretary of the Agriculture and Services Agency for two years
and assistant cabinet secretary to the governor for one year.
Hall is a native Californian who graduated from Pasadena public
schools before earning a bachelor's degree from the University of
Redlands and a master's degree in political science from the University
of Southern California.
He served the Antelope Valley as administrative assistant to
Assemblyman Newton R. Russell (Republican-62nd District) for two years
before joining the governor's staff in Sacramento.
Hall is married and has two daughters.

administration," Governor Reagan said, "and I want to publicly thank
him for a job exceedingly well done."
The Employment Development Department was reorganized under
Geduldig's direction to strengthen its function of placing people in
jobs. During the first six months of the 1974 fiscal year, placements
increased nearly 30 percent over the same period of the prior year.
Non-subsidized jobs for welfare recipients jumped from 25,000 in 1972
to 39,000 in the first six months of this fiscal year.
Geduldig entered state service in 1963 as a public information
officer with the former Department of Employment. He also served with
the State Board of Equalization, and moved to the Department of Health
Care Services in April, 1970, later becoming chief deputy director.
He became HCS director on July 1, 1972. HCS is now part of the new
Department of Health.
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Geduldig graduated from San Jose
State College in 1949 with an A.B. degree in journalism and economics.
He joined United Press International in San Francisco as a correspondent
and was promoted to bureau manager in Spokane, Washington. He later
was an editor with the San Jose News, San Francisco News, and the
Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
Geduldig was an active member of the American Newspaper Guild,
AFL-CIO, in San Jose. He served three years on the Guild's executive
committee and was elected president of the San Jose Newspaper Guild in
1960.
Geduldig and his wife, Dorothy, have three children and
reside in Carmichael. His resignation becomes effective March 1.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"Today I have instructed the state's Employment Development
Department to step up its job-finding efforts to reduce unemployment
caused by the energy crisis.
"Specifically, I have asked the department to do the following:
1) Increase its contacts with employers. 2) Use classified advertisements
in newspapers as potential sources of job openings. 3) Intensify 'job
development' efforts for exceptionally qualified job applicants. 4) Form
a cadre of retired business executives to assist businesses in danger of
failing.
"These steps will increase our sources of job leads and help
employers find the workers they need.
"In 1970, 71 and 72 an average of more than 1,800 California
businesses failed each year. A recent study found that 94 percent of
the failures were caused by poor management. The average business in
California employs 10 to 20 people, so these failures represent a loss
£ more than 20,000 jobs.
"There is a wealth of retired business executives in California.
Their experience and abilities can be used to save some businesses from
going under. We are going to organize this resource and offer their
services as part-time consultants to reduce the number of business
failures and the jobs they represent.
Chief
"I have with me Peter Rank,/Deputy Director of the Employment
Development Department. We'll be happy to answer your questions."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that he has vetoed the
following bill:
SB 404 - Schrade
Requires public agency contracts to provide for the
assumption of the responsibility for the removal,
relocation or protection of existing utilities if they
are not identified in the plans and specifications.
Contract documents must provide for compensation to
the contractor when utilities are not so indicated in
the plans and specifications. The bill also removes
the requirement that subcontractors be listed by the
prime contractor on public contracts involving street
lighting or traffic signals.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I have no objections to the provisions of SB 404
relating to the relocation of utility facilities.
However, I believe that the amendment to the
Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act
eliminating the listing of subcontractors merits
further legislative review.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced in Los Angeles that he
has directed Herbert Temple Jr., director of the Office of Emergency
Services in Sacramento, to immediately send the following telegram to
the boards of supervisors in the state's 58 counties (please note that
the governor's reference is to a "marketing system" as opposed to
rationing)
Text of the telegram:
"Governor Reagan will entertain formal requests from county
governments to proclaim a 'state of emergency' for that county in
order to exercise his emergency powers under the provisions of the
Emergency Services Act to establish a marketing system for more orderly
consumer purchasing of gasoline at the retail level.
"Upon receipt of the formal request from the county, the governor
will proclaim a 'state of emergency' implementing the plan generally
outlined below.
"The plan will become effective March 1, 1974 and will consist
of the following general provisions:
"(1) It will be mandatory;
"(2) It will be based on alternate days of the month and odd and
even license plate numbers;
"(3) Gasoline will not be sold to vehicles whose fuel tanks are
more than half full. The details of this plan will be provided
tomorrow, February 26.
"It is requested that within 24 hours after receipt of this
telegram the local counties will either:
"(1) Declare their local emergency and request proclamation of
a 'state of emergency,' or;
"(2) Transmit to the director of the California Office of
Emergency Services their decision not to declare a local emergency.
"It is planned that local state teams will be established to
monitor the conduct of this program to include such functions as:
11 (1) Provide assistance in resolving local government gasoline
retail and consumer issues which can be resolved at the local level;
= (2) Identify problems related to the plan itself for transmission
to the California Office of Emergency Services to identify and
investigate distribution inequities within their counties;
-1-
#126
"(3) Coordinate a program of voluntarily staggered business
hours for retail service stations.
"It will be necessary that each county establish a control center
to provide for this monitoring of the program.
"A telephone number for this control center should be announced
and manned by competent persons to insure that citizens and the
private businesses concerned have a continuous source of information
and assistance, At the state level the emergency monitoring location
will be the Office of Emergency Services. "

Governor Ronald Reagan today accepted with reluctance the
resignation of State Corporations Commissioner Brian R. Van Camp, who
said he would be levaing the $33,960 a year post on March 6 to run for
Secretary of State.
"Brian's dedication to good government has been demonstrated very
effectively over the past four years of my administration, " Governor
Reagan said. "Whilte his fine administrative ability will be missed,
I can understand his desire to seek an elective office."
Van Camp, 33, served as assistant secretary and acting secretary of
the Business and Transportation Agency before becoming Commissioner of
Corporations on August 2, 1971. At 30 he was the youngest person ever
appointed to that post.
In a letter to the governor, Van Camp said he would become
associated with one of Sacramento's oldest law firms, Diepenbrock,
Wulff, Plant and Hannegan.
The Sacramento native has directed the 280 employees of the
Department of Corporations which, besides granting permits to companies
issuing securities and licensing stockbrokers and brokerage houses,
regulates consumer finance companies, credit unions and escrow companies.
Van Camp is credited with taking the lead nationally in closing
down the fraudulent "commodity option contract" scheme last year, which
had cost investors upwards of $70 million in its few months of operation.
Before joining the Reagan administration, Van Camp was a deputy
state attorney general and attorney for the Sacramento Redevelopment
Agency. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley,
where he was student body president in 1962, and received his law degree
from UC's Boalt Hall School of Law.
Last year, Van Camp was the "International Young Man of the Year"
of the International Active 20-30 Club. He was the Sacramento Jaycees'
outstanding young man in 1969.
He lives in Sacramento with his wife, Moni, and their daughters,
Meg and Laurie.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced a mandatory marketing plan
for the sale of gasoline in California counties requesting him to
declare a state of emergency in their areas
because of the problems
caused by the shortage of fuel.
The plan goes into effect March 1 in those counties that will have
requested it by 5 p.m. Thursday. (Counties that have made the request
up to now will be announced at today's press conference.)
"I would like to emphasize that this plan is only a temporary
measure," Governor Reagan said. "I am taking this action at the request
of a number of local government officials and gasoline retailers.
"The plan is designed to eliminate the long lines waiting for
service at gasoline stations and to protect the general public and
station attendants.
"There has been some violence and disruption of traffic at
scattered locations. I am hopeful that this marketing plan will
alleviate the problems caused by the shortage of fuel for both drivers
and station attendants."
The plan provides that service stations in the affected counties
will sell gasoline on even numbered days of the month only to customers
whose vehicle license plates end in even numbers. Customers whose
license plates end in odd numbers could purchase gasoline only on odd
numbered days of the month.
Personalized license plates that have no numbers will be considered
as odd numbers under the plan.
The plan will be enforced by local law enforcement officials.
Violations would be a misdemeanor upon conviction with a maximum fine
of $500 or six months in jail, or both. Citations would be issued to
violators.
Service stations will be required to clearly indicate their supply
of gasoline either by a sign or flag. If the flag system is used, a
green flag will indicate gasoline is available for the general public
(according to their license plates); yellow flags will indicate that
gasoline is available for emergency vehicles only, and red flags will
show that the stations are out of gasoline or closed.
-1-
#131
The plan permits individual retailers to set their own hours for
business and the days of operation. However, they will be required to
manage their monthly fuel allocations so they will last throughout the
month.
Emergency vehicles, buses and vehicles used for commercial purposes
are exempted from the plan. Vehicles with out-of-state license plates
are also exempted from the alternate day ban, but not from the half
tank provisions.
The plan urges all gasoline suppliers to refrain from establishing
additional retail stations and not to reduce existing supplies to open
any unnecessary new stations.
Governor Reagan offered the plan to the requesting counties under
the authority of the California Emergency Services Act.

CALIFORNIA GASOLINE EMERGENCY
MANDATORY MARKETING PLAN
The following plan shall become effective at the times and in the counties
designated by the Governor through emergency proclamations.
1. At the retail level, gasoline may be dispensed into vehicles with a
license plate whose last (or only) digit is an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7
and 9) only on odd numbered days of the month, that is, on the first,
third, fifth, seventh and so on. Environmental license plates that
contain letters only will be equivalent to the digit 1. Examples of
odd number plates are as follows:
SAM 123
123 SAM
MARTHA
KAM 2345
12345J
J12345
2. At the retail level, gasoline may be dispensed into vehicles with a
license plate whose last (or only) digit is an even number (0, 2, 4,
6 and 8) only on even numbered days of the month, that is, on the
second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth and so on. Examples of even
number plates are as follows:
SAM 132
132 SAM
DAVE 2
2 MARY
KMA 3456
01234J
J01234
W6ABC
3. For any calendar month in which there are 31 days, sales may be made
on the thirty-first day of the month without regard to the registra-
tion plates of the motor vehicle.
4. Gasoline shall not be sold to any vehicle that has more than one-half
tankful of gasoline. When requested by the gasoline attendant, the
customer shall permit inspection of the fuel guage with the ignition
key in the "on" position.
-2-
5. When dispensing gasoline to the general public, gasoline retailers
shall not refuse to sell gasoline to anyone, on appropriate odd or
even days, except to refuse to sell gasoline to vehicles with more
than one-half a tankful of fuel.
6. Each service station shall clearly indicate its gasoline supply and
service situation by a sign or flag, easily visible from off the
premises. If the flag system is used, the following will apply:
Green flag--gasoline available for the general public (on appropri-
ate days for appropriate license plates); yellow flag--gasoline
available for emergency vehicles only; red flag--out of gasoline
and/or closed.
7. Individual retailers are the best judges of the business days and
hours that satisfy their customers' needs; therefore, no general
hours or days of operation are specified. However, each gasoline
retailer shall clearly post his anticipated minimum business days
and hours. Retailers in a common marketing area are encouraged to
work out staggered hours of operation.
8. Each gasoline retailer shall manage his monthly fuel allocation so
that it will last through the month. This may be done by adjustment
of business hours and business days of the week, or by establishing
maximum or minimum purchase volumes, or both. However, readjustments
should be no more frequent than absolutely necessary.
9. The following vehicles are exempt from the provisions of these orders:
Emergency vehicles as defined in the State Vehicle Code,
Division 1., Section 165 (copy attached).
Buses regularly used to transport passengers.
Vehicles used for commercial purposes in the judgment of
the gasoline retailer.
Vehicles with out-of-state license plates are exempt from the alter-
nate day ban on gasoline purchases but not from the one-half tank
purchase provision.
Operators of exempt vehicles are urged to purchase gasoline only on
appropriate alternate days whenever possible.
10. Storage of gasoline in separate containers in the trunk of automobiles
or in homes or garages is an extremely dangerous practice. At the
retail level, gasoline may be dispensed into separate containers only
when necessary in the judgment of the gasoline retailer. Such sales
shall be in the smallest practical quantity.
11. All gasoline suppliers are urged to refrain from establishing additional
retail stations. Gasoline supplies available to existing stations
should not be further reduced in order to supply unnecessary new stations.
-3-
12. Pursuant to the authority of Section 8665 of the Government Code,
any violation of these orders or regulations is a misdemeanor and
upon conviction, shall be punishable by a fine of not to exceed five
hundred dollars ($500) or by imprisonment not to exceed six months
or by both such fine and imprisonment.
SECTION 165, DIVISION 1., STATE VEHICLE CODE
