SPORTSMEN FOR REAGAN
Six Northern California sportsmen -- including the Vice
President of the State Fish and Game Commission -- today were appointed
to leadership positions in the campaign to re-elect Governor Ronald
Reagan.
They are Carl F. Wente and Sherman Chickering of San Francisco,
Thomas H. Richards, Jr., of Sacramento, Dwight L. Merriman, Jr., of
Kentfield, Dr. Joe G. Sweet II of Orinda and Joseph Russ III of
9/70
Ferndale.
Wente will serve as honorary chairman of the Northern California
Sportsmen Committee for Reagan, Northern California Campaign Chair-
man Paul R. Haerle said. Chickering and Richards will serve as co-
chairmen and Merriman, Sweet and Russ as vice-chairmen.
Wente is honorary board chairman of the Bank of America,
president of the Duck Hunters Association and member of the U. S.

Chickering, an attorney, is vice president of the State Fish
and Game Commission and was the Governor's Representative to the

SF #117 / page 2
Richards, a Sacramento food company executive, was a member
of the Fish and Game Commission, 1957-1969, and is a former director
of the California State Chamber of Commerce.
Merriman is a San Francisco real estate broker, Dr. Sweet is
an Oakland dentist and Russ is a rancher.
In a joint statement, the executive committee co-chairmen said:
"An active sportsman himself, Governor Reagan has made special
efforts to improve state programs in game management and recreational
hunting.
"In this connection, one of the most important achievements
has been his administration's protection of California sportsmen
against the bewildering array of restrictive gun controls that had
been proposed locally and statewide.
"Sportsmen won a significant victory when Governor Reagan
signed into law the bill that authorizes the state to regulate the
licensing of commercially manufactured firearms. As a result, hun-
ters no longer face the prospect of a different gun control ordinance
in every county. Uniform state regulations prevail.
"Governor Reagan consistently has exhibited leadership in the
state's improvement and expansion of outdoor recreational programs
including its renowned Hunter Safety Training program, establishment
of a single State Park and Recreation Commission, acquisition of
extensive park lands and hatchery facilities, creation of marine life

SF #117 / page 3
refuges, and establishment of the State Department of Navigation
and Ocean Development.
"As sportsmen, we anticipate another four years of progress
and cooperation from Governor Reagan's administration."

Henry Clineschmidt, Redding; Carter Harrison, Modesto; Julius von
Nostitz, San Francisco; and George J. Bessler, Placerville.
Also in the group are: World-renowned wildlife artist Harry
Curieux Adamson, Lafayette; world champion flycaster Jon E. Tarantino,
San Francisco; Lake County Supervisor Wesley Lampson, Lakeport; Sam
Zall, Marysville, past president, American Field Service foreign
student program.
Also appointed to the Northern California Sportsmen for Reagan:
Frank P. Adams, Piedmont; Spencer Grant, Jr., San Francisco; Robert
E. Halsing, San Francisco; E. Herrick Low, Hillsborough; John M.
Spencer, Woodland; Walter Thoresen, Eureka; Dr. George N. Fitzgerald,
Sacramento; Warren J. Flournoy, Modoc County; William J. Nittler,

HAYWARD LUNCHEON
FOR RELEASE TO:
PM's of TUESDAY
September 8, 1970
SFT #124
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address
to the Hayward Civic Clubs luncheon at the Southland Shopping Center
on Tuesday.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
Admittedly, it's difficult to start a prairie fire when the grass
is made of asbestos -- and those in Sacramento who believe in bureau-
cracy and big spending were well aware of this. But what they didn't
realize was that our prairie fire was fueled by your discontent and anger,
and with that as an acetylene torch we've been able to burn our way
through the asbestos maze and accomplish many of our goals.
Now, I'm not trying to tell you that in just four years we have
completely burned off all that asbestos grass. But we have made a start
and we do have results to show for our efforts.
A government on the brink of bankruptcy was adding more than
5,000 employees to its rolls each year.
We have not added 4 times 5,000 employees in these four years.
At the start of this fiscal year we had 24 fewer employees than we had
in 1967. And by imposing immediate budget cuts on most departments and
by following hundreds of recommendations from task forces from the private
sector, we managed to save hundreds of millions and pull the state back
from the brink of bankruptcy.

HAYWARD / page 2
But frankly, rather than talk of these successes, I'd like to
spend a few minutes discussing one of our great frustrations.
Today almost one out of every nine Californians receives some form
of public assistance at a cost of almost $3 billion annually. The result
is a massive tax burden that Californians can no longer bear.
We can point to $430 million in savings from economies in other
state programs -- an amount which could have meant a full reduction of
one-third in our income tax except that every dollar of that was eaten
up by the continuing increase in the cost of welfare.
Last year alone 239,000 new recipients were added to the welfare
rolls. Now I can hear someone saying: "It's true he's heartless and
wants to abandon those who need our help." That, of course, is ridicu-
lous. The truth is we are spread so thin we are fast losing our ability
to do all we'd like and all we should for the truly needy.
California today ranks No. 1 in overall benefits to those most in
need of assistance - dependent children, the aged, the blind and the
disabled. But when our Fraud Review Panel reports to us that almost 16
percent of those receiving aid under the Aid to Families with Dependent
Children program are doing 80 fraudulently at an annual cost of $59 mill
it's time to start asking questions.
We are seeking new legislation to offset the Supreme Court's welfare
residency ruling. We are asking for a law which will permit us to limit
welfare to migrant recipients to the amount they received in their home
states for a period of one year.

HAYWARD / page 3
I don't want you to get the idea our main problem is fraud. That
would simply mean stricter enforcement. Of far greater cost to the
taxpayers are the fully employed who have discovered they can augment
their earnings legally because of the conflicts and loopholes in the
multitudinous federal regulations.
You have already been made aware here in Alameda County of one
such case -- an individual collecting welfare benefits while working
full-time and earning a salary of $13,700 per year. Your welfare director
later disclosed that more than 3,500 persons holding full-time jobs here
in the county receive benefits -- 198 of them earning more than $600 a
month. In Los Angeles, the estimate is 17,000 fully employed getting
welfare.
Almost every day we are helpless witnesses to welfare abuse by
hippies and other professional dropouts and by able-bodied citizens who
see nothing wrong with taking public assistance that should go only to
the needy.
Somewhere along the way we got away from the traditional "helping
hand" concept of welfare for those truly in need into the morass of
subsidizing non-producers at the expense of the producers.

address to the Nana Civic Clubs' Luncheon at the Nana slks Club

The Brea of government which has coused the most frustration
is welfare. Today almost one out of every niue Colifornias receivos
some form of public assistance at a cost of almost 3 billion annually.
The result is a massive tax burden that Californians can no longer
beor. The excessive costs of public welfore are seriously eroding
the stote's ability to finance vital progrums that benefit all of the
people, not just non-working welfare recipionts.
Now, we are not attempting to deny aid to the truly needy in
California. Celifornia today renks NUMBER ONE in overall benefits
to those most in need of assistance - dependent children, the aged,
the blind and the disabled. But when our Fraud Review Panel reports
to US that deost 16 percent of those receiving aid under the Aid to
Families With Dependent Children Program (sre doing so froudulently)
at a cost of 59 million to the taxpayer annually, it's time to start
sskin; questions.
It is in the area of welfare in which the governmental "Bottle
of Armogeddon" is being woged. We are fighting the big-spending
politicians who advocate 0 welfare state, the welfare bureaucrets
whose jobs depend on an expending welfare system and the cadres of
HORE
IMP/ page 2
professional poor who have adopted welfore as a way of life.
We are even fighting the courts which time and again have
ruled that the interests of the taxpayers are subordinate to the
interests of welfore recipients.
The U. S. Supreme Court, for example, has nullified California's
one-year residency requirement for welfore. It has decreed that
California must grant "instont welfore" to roving recipients who,
in some cases, can double their income just by vacationing in
California. The cost of that single ruling is :95 million, enough
to finance another 10 percent income tax cut.
We ere currently facing a series of welfare suits which could
add snother A billion to the welfare bill. One suit involves a
mother of five who received welfare benefits to supplement the $156
in child support she received from her ex-husband. Instead of using
the child support money to meet family needs, she filed suit demanding
the State pay the fomilies' total expenses and allow her to set aside
her child support money in an educational trust fund for her children.
We are fighting this suit for obvious reasons, If the State is
required to exclude (the amount of) child support payments and other
income in determining how much a welfsre femily should receive, it could
cost the texpayers up to $190 million in retrosctive payments and add
another $50 million to annual welfare costs.
de are also seeking new legislation to offset the Supreme Court's
welfere residency ruling. We are asking for a law which will permit
us to limit welfore to newly arrived recipients to the amount they
recoived in their home states for a period of one year.
And we are also trying to plug loopholes in the law which
have permitted some of the worst kind of bbuses.
MORE
BALA / page 3
It is discouraging for most working Celifornians to see welfore
recipionts receive more benefits for their families than they can
provide for their fomilies by the sweat of their brow.
The typical Americon citizen last year spent about 247 for
his total health care costs. Last year the Medi-Cal program for
welfare recipients cost the taxpayers about $518 per person in Celif-
ornis. Because of court orders and federal regulations, it will cost
even more her capits this year.
We should all clearly understand the stakes in this economic
and social "Battle of Arnageddon". What we are fighting for is the
survival of our system -- a system tried and tempered through years
of peace and war and built by men and women of uncommon stature and
uncommon devotion to 3 dream. These are the men and women who have
fou ht herder and paid a higher price for freedom than any people
who ever lived. And they have done more to advance the dignity of
man than any neople in any period of history.

Jesse Unruh's absenteeism during legislative action
on twenty-one key environmental bills the last two years
should be explained, four conservation leaders declared to-
day. In a joint statement they said:
"Jesse Unruh was 'away on personal business' when
these important bills were being debated and voted upon in
the State Assembly. The plain truth is 'Big Daddy' would
rather talk about environment than do anything about it."
Those making the statement were : Senator Robert J.
Lagomarsino, Chairman, Senate Committee on Natural Resources;
Assemblyman Peter F. Schabarum, Chairman, Assembly Subcommittee
on Air Pollution; Robert C. Kirkwood, member, Open Space Action
of San Francisco; and Mrs. Dolly Vowell, a clean air leader of
Torrance. They concluded:
"Jesse Unruh should explain his obvious lack of in-
terest in environmental matters to the voters of this state.' "
The four listed the bills and dates on which Unruh
was absent. Subjects included: control of oil leases, air
and water pollution, airport and motor vehicle noise, pesti-
cides and highway litter.

SFT #127
NEWPORT BEACH, Sept. 7 -- Strong support from the ranks of organized
labor for Governor Ronald Reagan's re-election was demonstrated here today
as the Governor launched his Fall campaign.
At his kickoff press conference in the Airporter Inn here, Governor
Reagan was flanked by members of the executive board of the newly formed
Labor for Reagan Committee.
The committee is headed by two of California's most prominent labor
union officials - Joe DeSilva, secretary of Retail Clerks Union No. 770,
Los Angeles, and Al Clem, international vice president, Operating Engineers
also
and/business agent of Local No. 3, San Francisco.
The dramatic display of support for Reagan signaled a significant
split among the leaders of organized labor in this year's gubernatorial
campaign.
The AFL-CIO's official political arm recently endorsed Assemblyman
Jesse M. Unruh, Reagan's Democratic opponent.
Members of the executive board said that support from this group of
trade union leaders is indicative of the fact that vast numbers of
California's rank-and-file union members will support the Governor with
their votes in November.

SFT #128
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address
to the Republican State Central Committee convention at the Town & Country
Hotel in San Diego Sunday noon.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
At this time when we should be moving together to attack the problems
of our State, there are those who would drive us apart. This may serve
their purpose and their personal goals, but it does not serve the public -
it does, in fact, do a disservice to the great silent majority who work and
pray and pay and make this system go.
There are those, both in and out of the body politic, who practice
confrontation politics. Their voices are angry and negative; they reject
the rules of reason and decency and substitute their own devices. Their
tactics range from lock-ins and lie-ins to burn-outs and barge-ins. We
have seen these brazen actions before. In Chicago, in 1968; at the
people's park incident, at Berkeley; at the burning at Isla Vista; and
in the senseless, ego-centric confrontations on campuses and street corners.
There are those who call it the "new" politics, but for some it is the
last gasp of the last burrah.
MORE
SAN DIEGO / page 2
Less than a week ago we witnessed one candidate for high public office
brazenly invade the privacy of a citizen's quiet afternoon at home. It was
an example of what Cicero called "the arrogance of officialdom." If this
office-seeker's will to power is so unbridled that he would cast aside
the rules of common decency, and the respect for personal privacy - if
his ambition is so ruthless that he would do this - God help us all if he
ever gets to power.
Such tactics based on a belief that any means justifies an end can
only lead to bitterness, divisiveness and destruction. When those who
wear the mantle of public office refuse to conduct themselves responsibly,
with self-restraint, it is hard to blame young people for being disrespect-
ful and disruptive.
We will not campaign on that level. The people are sick and tired
of name-calling and personal affronts and personal attacks. This irrele-
vant and irresponsible political approach is what has turned so many of
our young people away from politics. It serves no purpose, it solves no
problems.
We now have a great opportunity to build a new coalition of Californians
1 from all walks of life, from all segments of society, all economic
strata, all colors and creeds.
Millions of Californians are eager to be part of the creative society
as it moves this State into the Seventies. They welcome creative and
responsible leadership; they agree with us when we make it clear that we
will not appease anarchy; they applaud when We stand strong behind the
forces of law and order and justice and when we support that thin blue lin.

they support us in our efforts to get government off our backs and out
our pockets; they are with us when we say it is time to stand up and
tell it like it really is about America -- about what's right with this
country and this State.
They are with us all the way when we say the doors and the chairs
of our university are wide open to qualified students and teachers regard-
less of the color of their skin - but that one Angela Davis on our campuses
is one too many and shall not be.
They are with us when we say and mean that quality education must be
provided for every child but not by loading them into buses to have them
carted away from their neighborhood and friends to some distant school.
They have a right to expect us to bring a quality school to where they are
- not the other way around.
These are the things that the millions of Californians want, what they
supported in 1966 and what they support again this year. They will not
find this in the present leadership of the opposition party nor its
candidates -- no matter how frantically they try to wrap themselves in a
more conservative cloak in the month ahead. The memory of past deeds and
past words is not forgotten. The public is fully aware of the fact that
those who must try to live down the past cannot live up to the future.
Listen to their campaign oratory -- it is a complaint because we have not
entirely cleaned up in four years the mess they themselves took eight
years to create.
Nowhere is this more evident -- nowhere is the contrast more cbvious
- than in the comparison of our Republican Team for the Seventies with
e disjointed, unhappy group of candidates who have been forced to cluster
around my opponent.

Look at our team - Lt. Governor Ed Reinecke, State Treasurer Ivy
Baker Priest, Controller Houston I. Flournoy, and our next Attorney General
Evelle Younger, and our next Secretary of State James Flournoy.
Each in their own right, each on their own record, deserving of the
confidence and support of the people.
Together a team for the Seventies - and, as they say about Brand X
no other political party can make that claim.
And, because ours is a Federal system - and because what happens in
Washington, D.C., is so important to us all - there are other members of
the team for the Seventies who must be re-elected.
Our senior United States Senator and his Republican colleagues in the
House of Representatives must be returned to Washington, in force.
Can you imagine what would happen if our present junior senator, a
man totally opposed to everything we in Sacramento stand for -- a man who
has fought everything our President has tried to accomplish, 2 man who runs
with what vice President Ted Agnew calls the "radical liberal pack" --
were to become our principal representative in Washington and have as his
partner in the Senate another who is of the same pack, going down the same
road, opposing the President's programs and policies every step of the way!
George Murphy has been a Senator for all Californians; he has produced
results for all Californians. He was the man who got the federal waiver
through the U.S. Senate so that we could enforce the nation's toughest air
pollution control laws; he was the man who worked to get California the
B-1 bomber contract which means 43,000 jobs.

legislators and the Republican leaderchip in the houses of the legislatu<

SAN DIEGO / page 5
Our party must re-assert its purpose and its dimensions and its agenda
for the future. The immediate issues of this campaign will be fully dis-
cussed and examined during the course of the next few weeks. Today I
would rather put forth some of the basic thoughts which should be on our
minds and on our agenda for tomorrow.
The party with the spirit of the Seventies will put the individual
first -- will put his freedom and his purpose and his individuality first
- above all else.
The second point on our agenda ia closely related to the first: the
party of the Seventies must be committed to, and must unleash, the full
power and many benefits of the American free enterprise system. This is
the answer to poverty, this is the way to progress, for all of our people.
Extreme taxation, excessive controls, oppressive government, galloping
inflation, frustrated minorities and forgotten Americans -- these are not
the products of free enterprise, they are the direct results and the ugly
residue of centralized bureaucracy.
During these four years we have worked to revitalize the creative
partnership between the public and private sectors; to get more people
involved with their government, and to get the private sector doing the
things that they properly should. Those who have so long embraced the
shibboleth that the answer to all problems is more and more government
intervention just can't understand this; as a result they imagine some
unholy special interest deal every time we break the bonds of government
and let the people undertake projects which they cen do better, quicker
more efficiently.

LABOR FOR REAGAN
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sept. 13, 1970 --- SFT #129
A prominent Southern California union official today joined the grow-
ing list of organized labor leaders campaigning to re-elect Governor
Ronald Reagan.
John S. Lyons, secretary-treasurer of the Building Materials and Dump
Truck Drivers, Teamsters Union Local No. 36, San Diego, declared his support
of the Governor and became part of the Labor For Reagan Committee.
A significant split among leaders of organized labor in this year's
gubernatorial campaign was disclosed last week when an impressive group of
some of California's most prominent union officials appeared with Reagan
at the kick-off press conference of his Fall campaign.
Lyon emphasized he was acting as an individual and was not speaking
in behalf of his union's membership.
"I am going to work for Ronald Reagan's re-election,' he said,
"because he is a good American and is in there battling all the time for
the things that mean the most to California's citizens.
"He has proved during the past four years that he has the intestinal
fortitude to stand up and fight for what he believes is right - and that's
the kind of a man all of us need to lead this state for the next four years."
Thier action came despite endorsement of Assemblyman Jesse M. Unruh,
Reagan's Democratic opponent, by the AFL-CIO's official political arm.
Co-Chairmen of the Labor For Reagan Committee are Joe DeSilva, secre-
tary of the Retail Clerks Union of Los Angeles, and Al Clem of San Francisco,
international vice president of the Operating Engineers.

Harold J. (Butch) Powers, former Lieutenant Governor and later
an appointee of then Governor Edmund G. (Pat) Brown to an important
California State post, today announced his endorsement of Governor
Ronald Reagan for re-election.
Powers, regarded as a middle-road Republican, in the past has
been closely associated with the political activities of Governor
Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York. In his statement of endorsement,
Powers said:
"I am whole-heartedly supporting Governor Reagan's re-election
and urge my friends to join me in retaining a Governor whose integ-
rity and high principles have been proven under fire.
"Our most cherished American ideals and institutions, and even
the Constitution itself, have never been more seriously imperiled.
"The times demand re-election of a courageous leader who refuses
to sacrifice principle for the easy road of political expedience. "
Prior to his election as Lieutenant Governor, Powers was a
long time member of the California Senate and Senate President
Pro-tem.

GEORGE CHRISTOPHER
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15 -- Former Mayor George Christopher of
San Francisco today joined the campaign to re-elect Governor
Ronald Reagan and termed the tactics of his opponent as "personally
repugnant. "
Christopher was an opponent of Reagan for the Republican guber-
natorial nomination four years ago.
GOP National Committeeman Thomas C. Reed, co-chairman of the
Governor's campaign for a second term, announced the former mayor's
appointment as vice chairman of the Campaign Advisory Committee.
This group is headed by Former U.S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel
and GOP National Committeewoman Eleanor Ring as co-chairmen.
"I am pleased to announce my support of Governor Reagan in his
campaign for a second term and to accept a vice-chairmanship of his
campaign Advisory Committee," Christopher said, "The simple fact
is, the Governor has brought integrity to our state government.
"He has checked the growth of that government, applied a firm
hand to our campuses, added miles of beaches and thousands of acres
to our state parks, fought to clean our air and tried to relieve
our citizens of the crushing burden of property taxes.
"On the other hand, his opponent has embarked on a campaign
of confrontation and invasion of privacy that is personally repug-
nant to me. A man's home is his castle; he should be allowed to
live there in peace and quiet without attack from sidewalk cir-
cuses.
Christopher
Page Two
Sept. 15, 1970
"The times are difficult enough. We need calm men of
reason managing our state. I agree with Senator Kuchel that
we can now judge Governor Reagan on his conduct as a public
servant. He has given the state clean, honest, effective gov-
ernment. I urge my fellow Californians to support him."

to the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the War Memorial Building in
Daly City on Tuesday.

Drug abuse has reached epidemic proportions. Its side effects
have an impact in every area of our society - from the street corner
to the campus, from the office to the home. Our youngsters are grow-
ing up in a drug-oriented society which knows no social boundaries.
It sweeps through the suburbs as well as the slums, and it rolls through
our land to the beat of rock and roll music which extols the wonders
of "Acapulco Gold" or the beauties of riding a painted pony.
Drug abuse is possibly the most critical social problem of our
time. It is a problem that threatens the health and well-being of an
entire generation of American young.
In an attempt to control drug abuse and the illegal flow of
drugs, we have mobilized the resources of state government into a
wide-ranging program of tougher laws, research, treatment and public
education.
MORE
DALY CITY / page 2
Through our new State Office of Narcotics and Drug Abuse, the
first agency of its type in the nation, we are coordinating prevention
and treatment programs throughout the state. We are creating a
statewide center to train teachers about drugs and narcotics. This
office is operating a central information program for citizens,
schools and local government and is helping local government set up
effective programs.
During the past four years, in an innovative partnership between
the public and private sectors, the State has relied upon the advice
and counsel of the California Interagency Council on Drug Abuse.
This group contains some of the nation's top advisers on narcotic
addiction.
We have also stepped up our efforts to control drug pushers who
earn their living by selling slavery to the young and unsuspecting.
They are some of the most wretched criminals in society. This year
we have added ten new agents to our Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement
to help flush out these merchants of death.
Under development now are programs to stop the diversion of
dangerous pills which are funneled into the black market and sold
to the young. We are requiring drug warehouses and shippers to be
bonded and are developing new record-keeping regulations so drugs
can be easily traced from point of origin to the point at which they
are retailed -- "in bond" as it were, like it is now with alcoholic
beverages.
MORE
DALY CITY / page 3
The State Board of Pharmacy is being given new powers of regulation
over drug manufacturers' agents or salesmen and steps are being
taken against so-called "merchant-physicians," the doctors who make
a living selling pills for alleged dietary purposes.
California is cooperating fully with the Federal Government in
halting the flow of drugs across the Mexican border. Penalties have
been increased for dangerous drug pushers and school principals are
now allowed to suspend or expel students caught selling narcotics or
dangerous drugs on school grounds.
Juveniles under the age of 18 are no longer allowed to cross the
Mexican border unless they have the written consent of their parents.
We have provided for the involuntary commitment of those who are a
danger to themselves or to the public as a result of drug addiction.
We have also made it possible for parents to have their children in-
voluntarily detained for drug treatment without causing their arrest.
Through the California Council on Criminal Justice, several
research projects on methadone, heroin addiction and the social effects
of narcotics and drugs have been funded. We intend to place special
emphasis on research into the psychological, physiological and social
effects of the use of marijuana.

in Los Angeles Tuesday morning.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as

We, of this administration, have insisted that the State's
judgeships be reserved for those who value the reputation of the
judiciary, who will respect the laws of the State, who place the
common good above personal goals.
We realize, too, that society, through its government, has a
responsibility to the courts. The tragic murder of a judge in Marin
County last month has highlighted the need for new systems of security
in our courtrooms.
We have ordered all state agencies to cooperate with the new
Chief Justice and all local presiding judges to see what is needed.
The Director of Corrections and the Director of the Youth Authority
are meeting with officials in every county where there is a State
penal institution. Subjects under discussion include the arming of
officers in the court, transportation and confinement of prisoners,
MORE
CALIFORNIA BAR / page 2
the searching of courtroom spectators, electronic warning devices,
location of criminal courts, closed circuit television monitoring,
metal detectors and other security devices.
We are all incensed that a courtroom was invaded, jurors
kidnaped and a judge led away to his assassination. And we should
be.
But, be incensed -- too -- that in California this year 15 officers
of the law have been killed in the line of duty; six of them under
circumstances which can only be interpreted as cold-blooded
systematic executions.
One execution of a condemned murderer has taken place during
the four years of this administration. I will recall the demonstra-
tions of protest in the capitol and the men of the cloth who asked
that all the church bells be tolled. I do not challenge this
sincerity or the emotion that moved them.
But I cannot help but note there have been few bells tolled for
these executions. The thin blue line -- the man with the badge of
society's authority is often the only thing standing between the
citizen and those who engage in the rule of the jungle. That blue
line is getting thinner.
We have developed a quick, efficient and effective response
capability for times of violence and disruption. All that we've done
-- all the laws and programs have but one purpose -- to protect the
citizens of California
MORE
CALIFORNIA BAR / page 3
To the violent and the criminal, and even to some members of the
bench and the bar, our crime-fighting efforts will be condemned as
acts of oppression against the people. The fashionable word, I
believe, is "repression." It will be used as hardened criminals and
anti-social revolutionaries are brought into court or sent to prison
to pay for their crimes against society.
So far, I have discussed what this administration has done or
attempted to do to improve the administration of justice. May I now
suggest -- in the strongest possible terms - that there are some
things that you can do directed to the same goal, and further suggest
to you how imperative it is that you do SO. For we in California -
and indeed in the United States -- are faced with a mounting crisis
of confidence in the administration of justice
You know the problems best. You should be able to solve them
best. You have the proper training. No longer can there be merely
a simple plea for more and more judges and court facilities. The
public will not wait much longer.
Do not think that the public cannot, if pushed to the wall with
frustration at the so-called "proper procedures," find a way to work
their will. Ask the faculty at our colleges and universities: a
public fed up with the behavior of a few professors and teaching
assistants demanded that the Legislature deny them the raise in salary
given to other state employees.
MORE
CALIFORNIA BAR / page 4
The public is frustrated and fed up with the interminable dela
which, all too often, are inherent in our criminal procedures. Why
should it take months simply to extradite an accused man from
Texas to California to stand trial with others charged with the most
heinous of murders in this city? Why does it take years after trial
and conviction for sentence to be
carried out?
Why does a criminal defendant with a clever lawyer seem able to
run circles around some of our finest prosecutors with a seemingly
bottomless barrel of time-consuming gimmicks? Unless these questions
can be answered -- not by complex apologies, but by changes from
within the system -- an outraged citizenry may change it from without.
Secondly
the public is frustrated and fed up with sort of
behavior that some defendants - and, indeed, some of their lawyers
are seemingly able to get away with in the courtroom; behavior that
would not be tolerated in a kindergarten.
You, the leaders of the bench and bar can restore the maximum
of public respect for our courts, you can take steps today to stren-
gthen the hands of judges faced with contemptous and disrespectful
conduct in the œurtroom.
May I suggest that before you leave this convention
you
give immediate and close scrutiny to your own canons and rules of
legal ethic, and your own internal disciplinary machinery, and do
whatever may be necessary to see to it that lawyers who deliberately
disrupt the courtroom can and will be disciplined - swiftly and
effectively.
MORE
CALIFORNIA BAR / page 5
And to those who would charge that this call for order over-
rides the call for justice -- you men and women of the court should
know better than most that without order there can be no justice.
The public does look up to your profession. Show them that you
can put your own house in order in this matter. More than pride in
a profession is at stake. The jungle closes in.

FRIDAY AM's
SAN LEANDRO
September 18, 1970
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address
to the reception for Senator Lewis F. Sherman at the Blue Dolphin
Restaurant, San Leandro, Thursday evening.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
The people of California gave us a mandate when we first went to
Sacramento in 1967. They wanted change and wanted it badly. Unfor-
tunately, they made at slight oversight and returned a lot of those who
were responsible for the things the citizens wanted changed. We faced
an Assembly and Senate controlled by our opponents, and they weren't
exactly dedicated to making our administration an instant success. An
old Arab proverb says that "Seven bumps and seven scars make a man".
If that's true, Lew and I reached manhood together. We got our bumps
and scars, and some of them still haven't healed. I think they counted
like they spent money because they didn't stop at "7".
But in 1969 things started getting better. For the first time in
a decade, as a result of some great Republican team work in the elections
of "68 and a couple of special elections, we finally achieved a majority
in the Legislature and managed to break the logjam and put through some
legislation that had been a long time coming.
MORE
SAN LEANDRO / page 2
With reorganization of the key crime committees in the Legislature,
bills that had been bottled up for years were shaken loose. The first
major anti-pornography laws in eight years - measures that defined
harmful matter and made it illegal to sell to youths under 18. Efforts
had been made over the eight years to get these laws - now we have
them and they have teeth.
The pornography laws are only a part of the story. For too long
the leadership in Sacramento had thought getting tough on crime meant
giving longer suspended sentences. Our new team went to work and produced
some of the most significant anti-crime legislation in more than a decade.
It was decided to give the law-abiding citizens of California top priority
and start blaming the criminal instead of society. Law enforcement
officials were given weapons with which to fight crime. All in all,
20 measures were passed in '69 and went into effect first last January.
But already the results are beginning to show. The growth rate in
several major felony areas is slowing. Another 12 bills were passed this
session and will become law shortly.
In just one 18-month period there have been over 5,000 bombings
across the U.S., killing 40 people, injuring 300 more and causing $27
million in property damage. The bomb is becoming the favorite weapon
of street guerrillas in their attempt to overthrow the government of the
United States. Now we have a law that levies the death penalty on the
despicable cowards who are convicted of setting off a bomb or other
explosive device that results in bodily harm or takes a life.
In the first eight months of this year 15 policemen have been killed
in the line of duty in California. Five were killed in what appears to
MORE
SAN LEANDRO / page 3
be cold-blooded executions. To give our policemen - the men who are a
buffer between the criminal and society - more protection, we have
increased penalties for assault on peace officers.
We have also added a five to 10 year prison sentence to the punishment
of criminals who use a deadly weapon while committing or attempting to
commit a felony. We increased from five years to life to 15 years to
life the penalty for rape, robbery or burglary if the victim suffers
bodily injury.
But, the best laws in the world are of little help if they are not
given the proper follow-through in our courts. Twice in the past three
years the San Francisco Grand Jury has complained that courts are too
lenient. That sentiment is shared by millions of other Californians who
feel that a widespread judicial philosophy of permissiveness has greatly
handicapped law enforcement officers in protecting the public against
crime and violence.
Feeling this way myself, I have done my best to appoint to the bench
men and women of proven integrity and professional ability. We developed
a special process for the selection of judges - each candidate for the
bench is screened at the county level by a citizens board which carefully
evaluates his credentials. At the same time the Board of Governors of
the California State Bar also measures the qualifications of each
nominee. Only those who can pass these screening groups are appointed
to the bench.
MORE
SAN LEANDRO / page 4
For several years now weshave tried to have this plan which we
called "The California Merit Plan for Judicial Selection" adopted by
the Legislature. I promised you we would take politics out of the
appointment of judges. We have done SO voluntarily, but we'd like to
guarantee that California never again returns to a system of appointing
judges on the basis of reward for political favors. Our chances will
be better if legislators like Lew Sherman are returned to Sacramento.

in the field of dental health under Governor Reagan's administration.
"
Two members of the 41-member executive committee are Democrats:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
9/19/70
"We wonder," two top Reagan campaign officials said today, "whether
Jesse Unruh now is going to claim he misquoted himself on the Angela Davis
issue."
David L. James and Paul R. Haerle, Southern and Northern California
chairmen of Governor Ronald Reagan's re-election campaign chairmen, described
Unruh's most recent attempt to explain his stand on the former UCLA professor,
an admitted communist, as "a blatant fabrication."
In a form letter, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate answered charges
voiced recently by Republican State Senators H. L. Richardson (Arcadia) and
Dennis Carpenter (Newport Beach) by saying:
"I have never advocated retention or hiring of Miss Davis and any
charge to the contrary is made either through ignorance or out of a deliberate
attempt to mislead the public."
James and Haerle referred to a KNBC-TV broadcast recorded in Los Angeles
on May 22, in which he declared, according to The Los Angeles Times, "that
if he were Governor and thus a UC regent, he 'would have to vote to support
the Chancellor's recommendation (to rehire her)
"There is no evidence," said the two Reagan chairmen, "that Unruh has
ever demanded a retraction of that statement by KNBC, The Times -- or himself.
"Under the circumstances, his pathetic form-letter reply stands as a
complete misrepresentation of the posture he embraced before Miss Davis was
charged with murder and kidnaping and placed on the FBI's 10-Most-Wanted list."

FOR RELEASE TO:
FRIDAY PM's
SFT #140
September 25, 1970
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address
to the combined Los Angeles Rotary Clubs at the Los Angeles Hilton Hotel
Friday noon,
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
Some of you may ask -- and properly so - why we have continued to
increase state support of the colleges and universities in the face of
trouble and violence on some of the campuses. The answer is simple: you
don't punish good students and good teachers, because of the irresponsible
actions of a small number of students, faculty members and non-students.
Education is our top priority; we have committed our administration to
keeping our system great and making it better. You don't close down the
system or destroy the educational system when that is precisely what the
radicals are trying to accomplish.
Those who have been screaming the loudest that we are destroying
education are the very ones who are destroying it themselves. They wrap
themselves in love beads, and march off to beat up the Dean, or burn down
a building --- in the name of peace.
No, the problem is not unique to California. But what is, perhaps
unique here is, that we have chosen to oppose rather than appease the
vandals. To those who charge the violence has escalated, that we have
fation to bring nennn to the commue T would or what was the price for
LOS ANGELES / page 2
peace? We could have let the street people at Berkeley have (steal is the
word) $1.3 million worth of university property bought with tax dollars and
there would have been no people's park incident. We could have let the
radicals - the "crazies" - take over at San Francisco State and not made
Dr. S. I. Hayakawa president. We could have let them burn down Isla Vista.
But we didn't and we won't.
Surrendering to the militant law-breaker is an abdication of the
responsibility that goes with administrative authority.
The goals of the rebellious minority are not academic in nature.
They are political. The greatest threat to academic freedom comes from
within the institution, from those politically militant faculty members and
students who insist on using the classroom for indoctrination and the halls
for agitation,
More than academic freedom is at stake if we continue to let our
universities and colleges become advocates for partisan political goals.
Civilization itself cannot endure when threats of force and violence are
created
made unless the community adopts the solutions to problems
not
by a majority of the electorate - but by what Dr. Hayakawa calls a self-
proclaimed elitist minority.
0
We now have a law making it a crime to coerce teachers or officials
at any educational institution, and we have revamped the State's system
of mutual aid to assure that effective forces are available to control
disorders and street rioting. The planting of a bomb which results in a
death is now punishable as first degree murder.

Jon E. Tarantino, World Champion Flycaster the last 13 years,
today lauded Governor Ronald Reagan for signing two bills that
guarantee public access to coastal and lake shoreline areas. They
are Assembly Bills 493 and 2418.
Tarantino, a resident of San Francisco and Past Director of
Trout Unlimited, said:
"Governor Reagan has once again clearly shown his support for
improving the quality of life in California. His action fits well
with the concepts of the new California Recreation Policy released
earlier this year."
The conservation leader noted that, "The Reagan Administration
has done more to preserve and improve California's environment in
the last four years than did the previous administration during
its eight years in office."
"We are quite impressed," Tarantino continued, "with the
Governor's leadership in the battle against air and water pollution.
In addition, the Governor's support insured passage of a strong
BCDC bill and the Lake Tahoe Planning Compact."
Assembly Bills 493 and 2418 require reasonable access to be
included in final subdivision maps for coastal developments. They
prohibit approval of subdivision maps for property fronting on a
lake or reservoir owned wholly or in part by any public agency.

Senator Carpenter
NEWPORT BEACH -- A topside Republican official today said he is
momentarily stepping across party lines to help Democratic guternatorial
candidate Jesse M. Unruh communicate with California voters.
Senator Dennis E. Carpenter (R-Newport Beach), GOP state chairman,
made public this memo sent to the press by Unruh's headquarters on his
official stationery:
"The Unruh campaign is off on another tour Monday, Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, Sept. 28-30.
"We've got pretty gals, 'special events' until hell won't have 'em,
a laugh every minute, a candidate who takes on all comers, food, likker (sic),
and Right Guard (fo' them's that need it).
"Come along. A trip you'll never forget. Contact our L.A. office
(213) 380-2790 for reservations and further information."
The memo then listed the three-day itinerary.
"Such a disclosure of the deep, overriding relevance of Unruh's app-
roach to the state's pressing problems should not be confined to a mere
memo to news media correspondents,' Senator Carpenter said. "All Calif-
ornians should be aware that when it comes to providing the press with
access to the meaningful facts of his campaign, Big Daddy does things
in a big way.
"Jesse's modesty compels me to perform this public relations
service in his behalf."

CALIFORNIANS FOR REAGAN
Three more prominent Northern California Democrats today
joined the campaign to re-elect Governor Ronald Reagan.
They have become affiliated with the non-partisan group --
organized as Californians for Reagan -- headed by George L. Killion
of San Francisco, longtime Democratic Party finance leader, and
Senator Hugh M. Burns of Fresno, dean of the California Legislature,
as co-chairmen.
The three new members are: George Gillin and Joseph Paoli of
San Francisco, and Anthony (Tony) J. Santos of Chico.
Gillin, a long-time Democratic leader in the Bay Area, was
appointed by then President Harry Truman as Superintendent of the
United States Mint in San Francisco. He held that post several years.
In a statement on his joining the Californians for Reagan,
Gillin said:
"By subordinating partisan politics to the greatest good of
all Californians, Governor Reagan has involved all our citizens in
their state government. I welcome this opportunity to support him
in his campaign for re-election.
MORE
CALIFORNIANS FOR REAGAN / page 2
"In this I join a host of other Californians who desire to see
Governor Reagan continue his effective leadership in seeking to
provide all Californians the kind of State administration to which
they are entitled."
Paoli, long a prominent San Francisco restaurateur, said:
"In joining the Executive Committee of Californians for
Reagan, I see my best opportunity to help Governor Reagan gain
another four year term in which to continue his efforts to give
all residents of this state an effective, efficient and economical
administration."
Santos, who has been appointed Butte County Chairman of
Californians for Reagan, is a Butte county building contractor,
rancher and land developer. He said that his affiliation with
the Executive Committee of Californians for Reagan offered him
an excellent opportunity to help Governor Reagan's campaign for
re-election so the Governor can continue his efforts to give this
state an efficient administration.

the founding of Monterey 200 years ago by Padre Serra and Gaspar
de Portola. Most of the medallions are bronze and silver.
Mrs. Reagan's name and the number "33" are engraved on the
rim of the gold medallion that is to be presented to her. The
number is in honor of her husband who is the thirty-third
governor of California.

The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address

Thursday evening.

We've been fighting for the changes you voted for in 1966 and
finding our efforts blocked by a Legislature controlled by those who
were part of the problem and apparently proud of it.
In 1969 we came up with a slender majority in both houses of the
Legislature for the first time in a decade and managed to shake loose
some important legislation - particularly crime legislation -- that
had been bottled up by those whose idea of being tough on crime was
longer suspended sentences.
Tragedy and election to national office cut into our slim majority.
Now this is something that must be given number one priority - we must
get a workable legislative majority. You send us people like Ken Maddy
and Earl Smitteamp to Sacramento and we'll really have our legislative
program rolling in the next legislative session.
In Ken Maddy you have a young man who has the wisdom to recognize
that government is not -- and never will be - the solution to our
problems. This country achieved its greatness through the efforts of

its private citizens and quite often, in spite of, rather than because
of government. Ken takes a positive approach to problem-solving. Re
seeks community involvement through the private sector to solve community
problems. And when you find a candidate like that, you'd better elect him.
Earl Smittcamp has some big and beautiful dreams too. If we had
had another vote in the State Senate during the last session, the people
of California would be enjoying an average 27 percent reduction in their
property taxes right now. And one of the people who voted against our
tax relief plan in the Assembly was none other than his opponent who can
always be counted on to vote for liberalizing welfare while denying a
break to the hard-working and overburdened taxpayer.
Now it isn't that we have no room in our hearts for those who are
truly needy; we even have a little room for the taxpayer. And men like
Earl Smittcamp's opponent are going to have to realize sconer or later
that this give-away system of government they are creating is one day
going to crumble under its own weight.
The public has tired of professional politicians who vote on cue
from a machine. They are tired, too, of the doomsday people and negative
thinkers who can find nothing right about this society and its people.
They have had enough of those who tell us that ours is a sick society
while defending the rioters and self-anointed revolutionaries who would
destroy centuries of progress and freedom with their satanic crusade.
We have no apologies to make to the rabblerousers in the streets
who condemn our society. No people in all of history have paid as
great a price for freedom or contributed as much to general prosperity.

FRESNO / page 3
No society has ever taxed itself BC heavily to give the disadvantaged
a second chance at life. The effort has not always been well-directed
and our purpose has not as yet been achieved. But that is not because
we lack compassion. We continue to seek new ways to alleviate the
suffering of the helpless.
It's true that much remains to be done, but it's the "establishment"
-- and that means the hard-working, over-taxed men and women of this
society - the hard-hats and the soft-hats, the blue collars and the
white collars, the housewives and the secretaries - who are out to get
the job done,

LOS ANGELES -- Governor Ronald Reagan today told a Town Hall
luncheon audience his administration's "first order of legislative
business" in January will be re-introduction of his tax reform pro-
gram.
Reagan said he was warned that attempting to obtain tax reform
in an election year was "not politically smart."
"But," he said, "I've never thought you sent us to Sacramento
for politics as usual.
It didn't seem there was any good reason
for us to postpone legitimate and necessary business."
In his prepared speech, the Governor said:
"Our tax reform program was supported by 78 percent of the State's
Legislators -- Democrats and Republicans, 93 out of 119 legislators
voted for it. It was killed in the State Senate for lack of one
vote; Senator Tom Carrell was too ill to fly to Sacramento.

he asked that one of his colleagues be permitted to cast his ballot--

of Senators refused even that and California taxpayers were denied a

and against putting a ceiling -- a "lid" -- on local
property taxes;
"Against a further reduction to 50 percent of the discriminatory
business inventory tax; against a withholding system for collecting
state income taxes and against a one-time reduction -- or "forgive-
ness" -- of 35 percent of every citizen's 1970 state income taxes;
"Against shifting $190 million in welfare and Medi-Cal costs
from the counties to the State to ease the local tax burden;
"Against providing incentives to preserve California's open space
lands.
"There had to be a source of replacement revenue. There was to
be a one-cent increase in the sales tax -- with the essentials (food,
shelter, drugs, medical expenses) being exempt;
"An increase of one-half percent in the bank and corporation tax;
"A reduction in the oil depletion allowance
"A revision of capital gains tax rules.
"Two additional tax brackets for those with an annual joint tax-
able income of $32,000 or higher.
"I think this reveals the sheer hypocrisy of some of those who

blocked our tax reform plan. They charge the plan robbed the poor
in order to favor the affluent and yet it transferred the greatest
share of the tax burden to those in the upper brackets and gave the
greatest relief to the owner of the modest home.
"Politics -- politics as usual -- has deprived the people of
California of needed tax relief.
"If you see fit to return us to Sacramento next year, we'll
propose, as the first order of legislative business, tax reform."

noon.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a

A6 you are probably well aware, a small band of State Senators got
together in the closing days of the regular session and blocked our tax
reform program. These 13 men prevented Californians from enjoying an
average 27 percent reduction - it would have been 29 percent in Merced
10/70
County - in their property taxes.
Our program called for relief of a portion of local property taxes
for welfare and Medi-Cal which yearly are demanding more and more of
the State's resources. It would have provided significant property tax
reduction for agricultural counties which typically have the heaviest
welfare loads. Most of California's great agricultural counties would
have received an additional 30 to 73 cents off their 1970-71 tax rate and
even greater reductions as each year passed.
It also would have. reduced the business inventory tax - a discrim-
inatory tax on farmers as well as businessmen's inventories - by 45 percent.
That feature alone would have provided $137 million in tax relief by
1973-74.
MORE
MERCED / page 2
Owner-occupied dwellings on farms would have received a $1,500
exemption - about $160 per year in an average county with an average
tax rate. And the Land Conservation Act would have been made available
to all farmers whose land is zoned for agriculture. Reg lacement revenues
would have been granted to each local jurisdiction to help offset lost
revenues. This program could have kept a lot of farmers in agriculture
who now have to sell their land just to pay their property taxes.
Our program was blocked this year. We'll be back with our program
again next year and we'll fight this thing until California's taxpayers
get tax relief.
But in the meantime there is something we can all do to get some tax
relief to a very deserving group of people in our society -- disabled
veterans and the widows of such veterans.
Proposition 13, which will appear on the November ballot, calls for
a $10,000 property tax exemption instead of a $5,000 exemption to certain
severely disabled veterans and the widows of such veterans who have not
remarried.
Some of these disabled veterans or their widows are in a tremendous
tax bind and many are faced with losing their homes. Some of these homes
are equipped with devices adapted to the needs of the disabled - wheel
chair ramps, widened doorways and halls and lowered plumbing and cooking
fixtures. This proposition will also allow blind veterans to enjoy the
existing $5,000 exemption on condominium property.
Now we are not talking a great deal of money, but we are talking about
doing something for a group of people who have done a great deal for the
country. Approximately 860 disabled veterans are involved, all of whom are
amputees, paraplegics, or quadriplegics. The maximum tax loss is estimated
at $150,000 statewide.

The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's remarks
at the Bakersfield reception in behalf of GOP State Senate candidate
Bill Park (18th SD), Friday evening.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
Our accomplishments were made possible only because of what you
have done working within the party framework to convince Democrats,
Independents and Republicans that in this moment of history our party
could meet the desire for change on the part of the people of California,
When we first went to Sacramento in 1967 with the greatest mandate
in the history of California politics -- a mandate to rid the State of
political power brokers - we found a Legislature which was somewhat
less than cooperative. The people were demanding change, but due to a
slight oversight a lot of those who needed replacing most were still
around. They weren't exactly dedicated to making this administration
an instant success.
One of these, for example, was the Senator from this 18th Senatorial
district, the man Bill Park will replace if he has the support he
deserves.
MORE
BAKERSEI I / page 2
In 1967, even though many of his Democratic colleagues were in favor,
11 Park's opponent voted against Senate Bill 556 which was the major tax
bill of that year. Yes it did increase taxes because we had to pull
California back from the brink of bankruptcy. We had to pay off a 1966-67
cash deficit created by a Brown Administration gimmick called accrual
accounting, which had been dreamed UP CO postpone a tax increase until after
that election. But we managed to get some things included besides adding
to the tax burden. We increased State aid to education and included specific
property tax relief for aged persons with low income.
Bill Park's opponent admitted this bill met the essential needs of
the State and provided the money needed for tax reform. But, he voted
against it.
The next year, he voted against an urgency clause designed to bring
perty tax relief to all homeowners. The bill had already passed the
Assembly with bi-partisan support, but he helped kill it in the Senate.
Last year he voted against an income tax rebate for all taxpayers.
This one we managed to win without his vote. You'll remember the 10%
rebate you took last April when you filed your state income tax return.
This year, finally, we presented the major tax reform program we'd
been working on for three years. It provided relief for those homeowners
who needed it most - taxpayers in the lower and middle income ranges.
Added to the present $750 homeowner exemption, there would have been a
total of nearly 40 percent in state-financed property tax relief,
With a kind of "taxpayers-be-damned" attitude, Bill e opponent voted
against this program along with 12 of his colleagues. His vote alone would
h 9 been enough to give California its most comprehensive tax reform in
almost three decades, and it would have been an easy thing for him to do.
MORE
/ page 3
One of his Democratic colleagues, Senator Tom Carrell, strongly supported
e plan but was too ill to fly to Sacramento to cast the decisive vote.
Senator Carrell asked for a courtesy vote - a common practice in the
Legislature -- but the little band of hold-outs refused to accord that
simple courtesy.
If Bill Park had been the Senator from this district, the benefits to
Kern County would have totaled $4,476,072 in tax relief from the four major
provisions of the tax reform program.
-- The state would have assumed part of county welfare and Medi-Cal
costs;
- Local government would have been re-imbursed for tax losses under
the open space program;
- Local government would have realized savings as a result of
teran's filing for the homeowner's rather than veterans' exemptions, and;
- Counties would have been reimbursed for the inventory tax reduction.
That's how important one Senator can be -- your Senator. You can have
Bill Park voting yes in your behalf or you can continue with his opponent
who voted against a withholding system for collecting state income taxes and
against a one-time reduction of 35 percent this time of every citizen's
1970 State income taxes
3
His vote (alsc) killed a $50 annual income tax deduction for renters
over and above the reduction already provided.
That's quite a day's work for one man:
Of course, he didn't always vote no - let me mention a few of the
things he voted for.
There were three alternative tax programs offered in opposition to our
tax relief this year.
MORE
BAKERSFIELD / page 4
He voted to narrow the lowest state income tax bracket to produce
another $135 million in revenue the first year from the workers with the
lowest earnings. That amounts to a 10 percent income tax increase.
He voted to keep Kern County's welfare cost burden at it's present
level. He voted to keep the discriminatory inventory tax at its present
level and against improvement of the State's open space land program. He
voted for a plan that offered no additional aid to schools to help offset
inflation and for a plan that would have done nothing to plug loopholes
which permit higher tax rates without a vote of the people.
And he voted for a program that would have given 20 times more
favorable treatment to the homeowner earning $100,000 a year than under
our plan.
In 1968 he also voted to kill a resolution censuring University of
California officials for allowing the appointment of Eldridge Cleaver as
a lecturer at Berkeley and then changed his vote when he heard the angry
voice of the people. In 1969 he helped to kill a bill which would have
prevented such instructors as Angela Davis from teaching on campus.

The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's remarks
in Visalia Friday morning.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
In campaign stops in the San Joaquin Valley yesterday I told the
voters that we would re-introduce our tax reform program as one of the
first orders of business in 1971.
We*ll continue the fight for tax reform until it's a reality -
beginning in January, if you send us back.
But today could I spend a moment or two on other areas of agriculture,
including an area in which agriculture might be vulnerable - the matter
of sanitation in the fields?
Charges have been made that the State's sanitation laws have been
violated in some areas. The State Legislature has stated, and 1 must
agree with them, that the people of California have 2 direct interest in
the sanitary conditions under which agricultural crops are grown.
These laws -- on toilet, handwashing and drinking facilities in the
field - must be strictly observed. But obviously our enforcement people
cannot be everywhere at once. Thorough and constant statewide surveillance
and enforcement is difficult at best, and frankly, it shouldn't be necessary,
It'was agriculture that civilized the world, and it should be agricul-
ture that maintains that civilization. The answer to this problem does
nlone with recolatory and enforcement nowers invested in the State.
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY / page 2
It lies with you - and Director of Agriculture Jerry Fielder has delive ed
this message constantly - the leaders of the world's most advanced and
sophisticated agricultural industry.
An industry as large and diversified as agriculture is bound to have
problems, but none that cannot be solved by men of good intention. Adequat
housing for migratory workers, long a thorny problem in the agricultural
industry, is a problem nearing solution.
The first cooperative migrant housing project for farm workers opened
this year near Williams in the upper Sacramento Valley. One hundred
prefab housing units were installed. They were manufactured by the non-
profit Production Training Corporation of Fresno in a joint venture by
industry, the Str te and the Office of Economic Opportunity.
We have been experiencing, the past few years, a period of unrest
in the field of agricultural labor. Unionization has spread to the fields
and, with it, feelings of uneasiness, distrust and --- at times -- violence,
Agricultural workers, like workers in any other sector of our economy,
have the right to organize into unions if they so desire. But they should
have the right to choose which union they wish to join and that right
should be guaranteed by secret ballot. There must be no intimidation or
coercion to join a particular labor organization.
There is great need for national legislation which will protect not
only the rights of the workers but the growers and public as well. With
the help of Senator George Murphy, we've been working with the President.
Senator Murphy has assumed a leadership role in trying to bring about
legislation that will protect the rights of all.
MORE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY / page 3
Some way must be found to protect the economic rights of workers at
the same time we guard against loss of perishable crops at harvest-time.
Secondary boycotts of farm produce should be eliminated from the arsenal
of labor tactics.
But we must look, too, to the State for proper laws to restore
orderly procedures to agriculture-labor relations and to give us the
guidelines to help prevent such situations as presently exist in our
produce industry. My offer of the State Conciliation Service to oversee
fair elections for farm workers still stands.
Among the agricultural problems we have been able to deal with
satisfactorily is the issue of pesticides. We are effecting an orderly
phase-out of the use of DDT and DDD on farm crops in California, but we
resisted pressures for an immediate curtailment which could have been
highly detrimental to the industry. Within the next couple of months
the use of DDT is expected to be down to 2/2 percent of the 1960 level.

The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's remarks
at the Loafer Creek dedication ceremonies near Oroville Saturday morning.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
Loafer Creek is the first major, permanent campground to be completed
under our recrectional development program for Lake Orowille, the key reser-
voir of the State Water Project. This facility, along with others such as
the Bidwell Canyon Area across the ravine, will help us close the tremendous
ecreation gap" that threatens us today.
The 1970's may well become the decade of the environment. The preser-
vation and enhancement of our environment -- the search for a new "quality
of life" - has become a major concern of all Californians. As the popula-
tion of California grew, and there are almost 20 million of us today, we
depended upon our natural environment to increase our wealth and satisfy
our material needs. But we also look to the environment to fulfill needs
of the spirit, and quite often we find a conflict between material and
spiritual needs in this respect.
It has become obvious that we cannot continue to pollute our air and
water and desecrate our countryside in the name of progress if we wish to
survive, Our natural resources are not inexhaustable, and neither is the
tience of our environment. Like a parent who has been pushed too far,
Mother Nature will punish her misbehaving children for their abuses.
MORE
OROVILLE / page 2
Solutions to the problems of meeting recreational demands and main-
taining environmental quality can be met by our political, social and
economic institutions. Cooperation between the public and private sectors
is essential in controlling pollution of the environment and in developing
necessary recreational facilities.
But the kind of recreation which Californians are demanding today
carries with it a great cost. We are nearing the finishing stages of the
State Water Project, and with it has come many man-made lakes and miles of
streams and waterways which are irresistable to sportsmen and recreation-
ists. But unless proper facilities are provided, the State Water Project
will never be able to meet the needs of Californians who are as hungry for
recreation as they are thirsty for water.
The 1970 Legislature recognized the need and put Proposition 20 -
a $60 million bond act for recreation and fish and wildlife facilities on
the November 3 ballot. Now Proposition 20 will provide $54 million for
development of recreational facilities on 17 reservoirs and over 500 miles
of canals and streams of the State Water Project and another $6 million for
developing fishing access and improving fish and wildlife habitat,
Proposition 20 can build facilities to serve over 15 million people
annually and can increase the present recreation capacity of the over-
worked State Park System by 33 percent. And, incidentally, if Proposition
20 passes, $3 million will be used for development of Lake Oroville and
another $1.6 million is earmarked for the Upper Feather River Basin.
Now we fully recognize that the development of new recreational faci-
lities will be of little avail if our water is too polluted to swim in, ou
air too polluted to breathe and our environment too desecrated to enjoy.
MORE
OROVILLE / page 3
That is why we have vowed that our air is going to be cleaner, our water
purer and that protection of the environment will rank as one of our major
priorities.
And while we are on the subject of water pollution, I would like to
enlist your support for another proposition on the November ballot -
Proposition 1, the Clean Water Bond Act.
If this $250 million bond issue is approved, communities throughout
the State will be able to significantly speed up their efforts to end water
pollution by upgrading municipal sewage treatment systems so they conform
with our water quality laws. Right now they are currently required to raise
two-thirds of the money necessary for new sewage treatment facilities before
hey can qualify for the remaining one-third in federal funds. If Proposition
1 passes, they will only have to raise 20 percent because our $250 million
from the bond sale will make $550 million in federal funds available.
In developing new recreation facilities throughout the State we intend
to continue the policy we adopted here at Oroville - encouraging greater
private sector investment in our parksand recreational system and updating
and modernizing the whole concessionaire system.
We are talking about concessionaires who will invest millions in the
development of our parksand adjoining areas according to our environmental
master plan. In this way, the concessionaire can -- as he should - realize
a profit on his investment which will be shared with the State to make
possible more and better ventures for the benefit of the people of California.

I feel I must recite to you the record of my administration in
state financial support of the local public schools. This is
necessary, first, because money is important to achieving a quality
education and, second, because some would have you believe that during
the past four years we have starved public education. That just isn't
SO.

REAGAN / page 2
that those charges are just not 80 - and that this administration has made
education its number one priority.
The facts are a matter of public record.
In the past four years we have provided California's public schools -
kindergarten through junior college - the greatest dollar increase in finan-
cial support in the State's history. That support has risen from $1.2 billion
a year in 1966-67 to this year's $1.75 billion. That is an increase of $533
million a year; a 43 percent increase in financial support to cover an
enrollment increase of 12 percent.
This does not mean that every district has all the money that it needs
- although some may have more than they really need - but it should show
conclusively that our administration has been doing the best that it can in
increasing state support for local schools -- and doing better than the
previous administration.
California educates more of its school age population in public schools
than any other major state, and our teachers are paid the nation's highest
salaries.
I support the concept of at least a 50-50 ratio of state and local sup-
port for public schools. Since 1967 we have been trying to reach that ratio.
In 1959, the State's share was about 46 percent; by 1967, when we took office,
it had dropped to 41 percent. In these past four years we have managed to
reverse that downward trend and now the State's share is up to an estimated
43 percent. That, too, is a matter of record.
We must continue this. upward trend; we must take more of the burden of
school financing off the backs of the homeowners in the local districts by
broader-based, state collected taxes. We have tried to do just that as a
part of our tax reform efforts
Regretfully, our efforts to accomplish these reforms were killed in the
Legislature. But the need for reform remains.

REAGAN / page 3
And in this regard I must tell you that I am interested in the so-called
.ucational voucher system for financing the education of our children, K-12,
and have asked for a thorough study of this idea. It would provide a direct
subsidy to the educational consumer (the parent and the child) rather than
the educational institution (school or district); and, since schools and the
school system should exist for the student, and not the school establishment,
there seems to oe merit in the educational voucher approach.
Under such a system, the state would establish the uniform statewide
property tax.
and this money would be apportioned on an equal per capita.
or per student, basis; $500 for K-6, $600 for 6-9, $700 for 9-12 and $725
for junior college. There might also be some per capita adjustment to compen-
sate for the higher cost of educating physically and mentally handicapped
children.
The major difference in this plan is that instead of simply turning
these State funds over to the local school districts on the basis of average
daily attendance, we would issue education vouchers to the parents of the
school child. These vouchers could be spent only for approved educational
services, but spent by the parents at any school - public or private - of
their choice.
The State would then be subsidizing the education of the individual
rather than subsidizing the institution.
It is possible that such a system, which provides the parent with free-
dom of choice in selecting between competing schools, might accomplish
several important purp ses:
- It could help to eliminate the core problem of the current educa-
Ional system, the institutional monopoly. and nothing is more resistant
to change and improvement than menopoly (look at the 3. Postal Service).
REAGAN / page 4
-- It could promote innovation, creativity and flexibility and improve
the quality of instruction through competition.
-- It might even create an educational system more responsive to the
diverse needs of our modern society and provide for the development of not
only college preparatory but also vocational and technical institutions.
This idea as it has been suggested would be administered by a statewid
Educational Voucher Agency which would serve as a repository for all State
and Federal funds, responsible to a Board of Directors including public and
professional members who would serve for a limited term of office.
Its functions would include accrediting both public and private school
on the basis of minimum standards of educational curricula and excellence,
safety and sanitation; enforcing the quality of education at the schools,
public and private, through minimal student performance in standard examina
tions, and would be charged with seeing that there was no discrimination
within accredited institutions.
The individual school, private or within the public system, would be
concerned with administrative detail, fiscal management, personnel, teachin
methods, extra curricula, and a determination of whether emphasis should be
on academic or vocational training.
I am aware that this is a drastic approach which will require thorough
study and which will provoke great resistance among those whose first reac-
tion will be to see it as a threat to their own interests.
But can we afford to dismiss such a proposal without complete dissection
and study? There can be no question but that we do need certain fundamental
reforms so that new efficiencies, new techniques, new methodologies, new
goals can take hold.
The major responsibility for educational decision-making should be
shared by the educational establishment, the parents and the local school.
MORE
REAGAN / page 5
If continued study warrants it, why shouldn't the voucher system be
implemented perhaps on an experimental basis in several districts?
1 have set before you our record in increasing the financial support
of public education, but at the same time I reject the simplistic notion that
all it takes to solve the problems of our elementary and secondary schools is
more money. Too many of our 12-year graduates are functional illiterates.
Education must have more realistic goals and more realistic measurements.
We should have the courage to take a hard look at tenure. Tenure was
established originally as a protection for teachers against bias and dis-
crimination in dismissal proceedings.
Tenurs was never intended and
should not be a protection for incompetency.
Public schools must adopt the same hard-nosed efficiencies and cost-
controls that we expect in every area of government public service. But,
there are indications that the waste and inefficiency in the management of
some local school districts may be as great as what we found in State govern-
ment. Every dollar wasted robs both the taxpayer and the school children.
A recent study by an independent group disclosed that one major school
district was paying excessive prices on a wide range of items - 900 percent
higher than necessary for window cleaning products, 33 percent higher than
necessary for paper towels, and twice as much as need be for motor oil. The
study also revealed other management shortcomings, such as expensive out-of-
state trips to recruit teachers even though the district already had 15 appli-
cants for every vacancy. That kind of wasteful administration - which may be
prevalent in far too many districts -- must be ended if the public's confidence
in the public education system is to be restored.
There are other matters of concern to all of us.
The matter of pro-
tecting the students and the teachers from that small number who engage in
violence and vandalism on the school ground

REAGAN / page 6
We have enacted laws and taken administrative steps to provide that protection
but in the final analysis that protection rests with the school adminis
1-
tors who must use the rules and statutes and agencies available to them
Thereis the growing, grave concern about the increase of drugs and nar-
cotics on our schools -- even in our junior high and elementary schools. We
have enacted the measures necessary for school administrators to deal with
this problem. We have also started a program of education and information
councils which is now being used by teachers in many districts throughout the
State. In cooperation with the school authorities, the medical profession,
pharmaceutical industry and the communications media, we have embarked on a
public campaign to instruct our young people about the dangers of drug abuse.
Finally, there is the matter of mandatory busing of our school children.
Over the past four years I have talked, or corresponded, with thousands
of Californians and no single issue has produced a greater overall expressi
of deep concern - from every segment of our society - than forced busing of
school children. Judicial rulings intended to force compulsory busing on
parents and families have distressed the vast majority of our citizens who
strongly oppose racial discrimination. They see this busing as a ridiculous
waste of time; they see it as siphoning off money which could otherwise be
used for books, for new classrooms, for teachers and maintenance; they see it
as a threat to the neighborhood school.
Let me reaffirm what I said earlier this year: we vigorously oppose the
forced busing of our school children. Quality education must be provided for
every child - by bringing. it to the neighborhood in which they live, and not
the other way around. If there is to be any busing, let's bus the teachers
to the students - not the students to the teachers. For these reasons I
signed AB 551 which prohibits busing school children without the consent of
the parents.

Those who charge that opposing compulsory busing is somehow
equivalent to encouraging discrimination lack understanding of the real
needs of our children, whatever their color or ethnic background.

I am sure it will come as no startling revelation to any of you that I
believe property taxes are far too high and are placing an intolerable burden
on the homeowner. One of the major goals of tax reform -- which is mandatory
- is relief for the property owner through a tax shift to other bases and
her sources of revenue.
We tried to secure the passage of such a tax relief package this year.
It would have reduced the homeowner's taxes anywhere from 25 to 40 percent.
We would also have helped to make possible further reductions in the property
tax by assuming at the State level a greater share of the costs of local
schools and welfare programs. This program passed the State Assembly; it
was defeated in the State Senate by one vote. That defeat cost mainly the
homeowners of California $573 million in tax relief this year. We will go
back after that tex relief next year
I am here to talk with you about what must be, and what can be, in the
area of financing our elementary and secondary schools, kindergarten through
junior college
There are some who would have you feel that we have been starving schools.
and since the quality of the school is often a prime factor in the sale of a
home or the location of an apartment building, it is important that you know

ENVIRONMENTALISTS FOR REAGAN
SACRAMENTO -- A group of California's foremost leaders in conservation,
recreation and resources protection movements today joined Governor Ronald
Reagan's re-election campaign as the "Environmentalists for Reagan"
Committee.
The group is headed by Melvin B. Lane, chairman af the San Francisco
Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), an executive of Sunset
Magazine and Lane Publishing Company of Menlo Park.
Lane has long been a leader in the fight to protect San Francisco Bay
fi
indiscriminate filling and dredging and has been active in numerous
other movements for preservation of the state's natural environment.
Serving as co-chairmen of the new committee are Melville Owen, San
Francisco attorney, a BCDC commissioner and chairman of an advisory group
of the Joint Legislative Seismic Safety Committee; Putnam Livermore, San
Francisco attorney, member of the Sierra Club and a director of a number
of state and national conservation organizations; and Van Norden Logan,
Larkspur investment executive and long an active conservationist.
Other prominent members of the environmentalist committee, formed in
recognition of Governor Reagan's achievements in the fight against pollution
and for protection of California's scenic and recreational resources,
include:

HOMES FOR AGING BANQUET
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's remarks- to
the California Association of Homes for the Aging Banquet in the Miramar
Hotel, Santa Barbara, Friday evening, October 9.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as
a verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in
this as a public statement by him.

The Golden State today leads every other major state in the
nation in total aid to the aged, blind and disabled, and we have no
intention of allowing that position to drop. The state is presently
in the process of establishing a new intermediate category of out-of-
home care for the aged and disabled -- a category that will fill the
existing gap between homes that either provide no nursing care or provide
it around the clock.
Now state medical-social review teams will be reviewing the place-
ment of each resident whose care is paid by Medi-Cal or welfare to
insure that his needs are being properly met
What they want to insure -
and what they must insure -- is that every resident is receiving the
kind of care he needs
The primary purpose is to be certain that none of our senior
citizens who need help is neglected
But you know, probably the biggest enemy of the aged -- most of whom
are living on fixed incomes -- is inflation
MORE
10/8/70
AGING/page 2
If inflation were to continue at the rate of 6 percent a year,
compounded, a simple bag of groceries worth $20 today would cost $114
within the next 30 years
The rate of inflation in California since 1967 has consistently
been under the nation as a whole
Now again, we have never attempted to deny aid to those who truly
need it, nor would we want to. But the California taxpayer is over-
burdened and those who have adopted welfare as a way of life when
alternatives are available or receive welfare funds fraudulently are
adding to that burden.
Just this week we appealed a Federal court ruling that California
is out of conformity with Federal welfare requirements. That ruling
could cost California's taxpayers $3.1 billion a year if Federal funds
are withheld as threatened. That $3.1 billion could add $600 per year
to the tax bill of the average family in California. And California
already is number one in the nation in overall benefits to the needy.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare in Washington has
already told us that we do not have to increase the size of our welfare
grants. This conformity issue boils down to a matter of procedural
differences - semantics -- which have little relationship to the real
issue: how to best help those who are in need.
California's taxpayers cannot continue to carry the load they are
carrying. Our attempt to provide tax relief through our tax reform
program was killed in the Legislature this year. That program would
have improved on the $10 million a year senior citizens are receiving
on property taxes currently by another $6 to $8 million per year.

GOVERNOR'S STATEMENT
SACRAMENTO - Here are Governor Ronald Reagan's remarks to members of
the Environmentalists for Reagan Committee as their organization was
innounced here today:
In certain quarters, I fear, the environment has replaced the weather
a topic of conversation. In the past, unfortunately, like the weather
if I may borrow an oft-quoted phrase - "everybody talked about it but
obody did anything about it."
Your presence here today demonstrates that this is not true in
alifornia. Obviously we are doing something about it. If we were not,
uld not have your support, Mel Lane, or the support of the other
istinguished members of this committee.
You, the members of this committee, have literally spent your lives,
aboring to protect the priceless gifts that nature has given to California.
You were literally "voices in the wilderness," warning us that Nature
not blessed with infinite patience. You were working to protect and
reserve our ecology long before many people even knew the meaning of that
ord.
I am honored and grateful for your support. And I pledge to you that
his administration will continue to earn this support.
You know what we have done to protect this land for generations of
alifornians yet unborn. You know what we have done to give California
toughest water, air and noise pollution control laws in the nation.
MORE
REAGAN / / page 2
And you know that our policies are not based solely on repairing
the damage caused by past neglect, but are aimed at preventing future
neglect and forestalling broblems that cannot even be imagined at this
point in time.
You are also aware, as we are aware, that the preservation of our
natural environment is no ; a matter of concern for government alone, or
industry alone. It is a task that must challenge the talent and creativity
of every citizen.
In California, I believe, we have set a pattern which the entire
nation can follow if we are to pass our heritage on to those who follow
us.
It is based upon a very simple premise; the fact that there is no
power on earth stronger than concerned people working together for an
ideal.
Again, my thanks.

ANAHEIM
October 8, 1970
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan S remarks
at the Economic Development Conference luncheon at the Anaheim Convention
Center Thursday noon.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.

It is essential, in this age of unprecedented change. to anticipate
and learn, to the extent possible, what might be in store for us and
the cost-consequences of action and inaction. We must determine those
options which afford the best opportunity; gather the necessary forces and
move before the fact and before the consequences of doing nothing, or doing
too little too late.
For some time, now, we have been laying the groundwork for a most
important project; a Commission on the Seventies - a voluntary gathering
of men and women selected from all areas and all segments of California,
a consortium of some of the best brainpower in the State; a group of re-
nowned and respected individuals from the arts, the sciences. and the
academy, from business and labor and the professions and disciplines. It
will be their assignment, with the resources and talents of various State
agencies and departments available to them. to project and evaluate the
trends of the decade ahead - to separate the positive from the negative
trends, and to propose options which can accentuate the positive and elimi-
nate or diminish the negative before trend becomes actuality.
MORE
ANAHRIM / page 2
I have not talked of this before, and I will not dwell on 1t now.
A great deal of thought and planning has already gone into this project;
and while I feel I should mention it to you here at this Economic Develop-
ment Conference, I do not want the Commission on the Seventies to become
involved in partisan politics or electioneering. I have no doubt some of
you here today will be asked to serve on the Commission and its various
task groups.
We'll move forward as soon as the 1970 elections are out of the way,
providing our option is taken up, I have discussed the Commission and its
role in great detail with one of the nation's foremost engineer-scientists
an expert in systems approaches. He has consented to assist us in this
endeavor and to help direct the Commission's studies and evaluations. We
will name at blue-ribbon Council of Advisors to serve with him, and each
member of that Council will head a task group dealing with a specific area
of society.
Involved in the Commission project will be a number of college and
university students who will be selected on the basis of their academic
record and their interest and excellence in a particular subject area. They
will come from various campuses both public and independent.
The reasons for including the students in this project are obvious:
not only can they supply the fresh ideas and unique approaches which are
often needed to solve the most difficult problems, they are the ones who
will inherit our society, and they will ultimately become its leaders, its
movers and shapers.
(
As the Commission on the Seventies involves itself in examining the
future and listing the options and opportunities, we must continue to take
care of the present and the near future.
page ***,
There are measures which the California people can take to g-ve
economy a boost - just as they took an important step in June in the
passage of Proposition 7.
Already, as a result of the passage of Proposition 7, we have freed
a backlog of $500 million in bond financing - for home construction loans
under the Veterans program. and for school construction and parks and
beaches and recreation facilities. Just this Last Tuesday, we sold two
bond issues totalling $100 million was $70 million for school construction
aid, and $30 million for beaches and parks at less than 6 percent interest
(5.57 percent),
On the November ballot will be two propositions - Propositions 1 and
(
which would also stimulate our economy to the tune of $310 million.
Proposition 1 is a $250 million bond act which will help local govern-
ments finance, through state, federal and local funds, new sewage treatment
facilities and systems. This proposition will not only provide economic
stimulation in the construction trades but will also be meeting an impor-
tant social need the improvement of water quality in Cal fornial
Proposition 20 is A $60 million bond act which will help build recrea-
tional facilities on the mary lakes and streams of the State Water Brogent
which is now in its final 3 ages of completion. Again, this proposition
carries important economic end social benefits. California today has a
recreation gap which Project tion 20 can help close by financing new facili-
ties and the expenditures will stimulate both the construe ion and tourist
ndustries.

Palace Hotel in San Francisco.

Just last Thursday three bombs were set off on the West Coast which,
though they did not take any lives, caused considerable damage. The
target pattern is most interesting. One of these explosions occurred in
an ROTC building at the University of California at Santa Barbara and
another at the Marin County Courthouse in San Rafael. The third was at a
National Guard Armory in Seattle. A fourth bomb, planted at the Center
for the Study of Law and Order at the University of California at Berkeley,
was defused by police before it detonated.
Police officers labored over the bomb for an hour and a half after the
time an anonymous caller had said it would detonate. That is a rare kind
of courage, but a kind shown consistently over the years by our law enforce-
ment officers and taken for granted by too many of us.
It is almost sickening to note that over an 18-month period, 5,000
bombings took the lives of 40 people, maimed and injured 500 and damaged
JI destroyed $23 million worth of property across the nation.
Across the bay in Berkeley, there have been more than 32 bombings or
attempts in two years, resulting in injuries to six policersm.
CHP / page 2
Those statistics, as well as more recent bombings, illustrate why we
needed a death-penalty law for use of destructive devices. It also illus-
trates why we had to promote new laws to control the use of fire arms, to
prevent and punish trespass, to prohibit the disruption of public meetings
and to give school administrators additional powers to discipline unruly
faculty and students.
If any prudent citizen still harbors any doubt that we are facing
revolution in the streets, he need only to scan some of the underground
newspapers and publications of various militant groups.
It is rather
ironic that we meet here today, just one week after what was proclaimed by
some militants as "National Kill a Pig Week. 11
Although this information was taken from a leaflet being distributed
I the State of New Jersey, California police intelligence reports indicate
that the same rumble has been detected in radical groups in California.
In the very recent past, one of your officers in San Jose came into
possession of a uniform patch which depicted a police officer being killed
by a black militant. The inscription on this patch was "70-Massacre."
We have only made a beginning in our war against crime. I believe the
killing of a law enforcement officer should automatically be first degree
murder and I've asked for a study of legislation making it a felony to
specifically advocate killing or injuring police officers.
In this last legislative session, we tried to get limited wire tapping
legislation in conformity with the federal law: it would have required a
judicial search warrant and would have been limited in scope and time. The
ed for legislation permitting electronic surveillance must not be ignored
We'll try again.

CHP / page 3
New let me literally and figuratively switch gears. When the invita-
,ion to address you came in it was suggested by some that I should politely
decline or at least throw my hat in the door first. Others counselled that
I should come and address you, but talk about the sort of things I have just
covered basically, those things which unite us rather than any possible
differences.
Obviously, I didn't take the advice of those who said stay away - you
have honored me with your invitation and I'm proud to be here. I have
talked about those things with which we are in agreement and now I'd like to
speak of the one thing which some would use to divide us - the issue of the
amount of pay raise for the Highway Patrol.
I wish almost more than I have ever wished anything that I could have
left in the bill the full amount of the raise, For that matter, I wish I
Lould have made it more.
Let me give you what my problem was and the thinking that led to my
action. Under our constitution, you are paid from a special trust fund --
other employees are paid from the general fund. Unfortunately, the general
fund is stretched 80 thin we could only give a 5 percent increase to most
state employees no matter how much some of them were deserving of more.
And, let me say here and now, on the basis of merit, ability and just plain
guts, you deserve more.
The problem was how to maintain some kind of balance in a situation
where some deserving employees were penalized simply by reason of the fund
from which they were paid. By virtue of that same reasoning, I couldn't
see you totally denied. So. conscious of the morale problems of a number
,f department heads and trying to be as fair as possible to all concerned,
I settled upon an 8 percent figure.
MORE
CHP / page 4
This decision was given to your representatives several months before
the veto session but evidently was not relayed to all of you, I'm sorry to
say. As a matter of fact, I had requested that the legislation be amended
to the 8 percent total but when this was refused, I made it clear I would
not veto the bill but would simply reduce the amount to that figure.
The State has two types of pay increases -- a cost of living increase
approved as part of the state budget and a merit increase based on length
of service in a particular position. This merit increase is separate and
in addition to any increase based on the cost of living. The 8 percent
we've been talking about is the cost of living increase and will go to
5,445 uniformed officers of the Highway Patrol. Over and above this, 1,904
of you will also receive an additional 5 percent merit increase for a total
of 13 percent.
To those who will not be receiving the merit increase - let me say
again that you deserve more than the 8 percent, just as many other employees
deserve more than the 5 percent. I pledge to you that I will do my best to
try to find ways to have you paid what you deserve.

PEAKE FOR REAGAN
SF #158
William H. Peake, a former Director of the California Democratic
Council, today joined the growing list of Democrats who are supporting
the campaign of Governor Ronald Reagan for re-election.
Peake, now a Bay Area businessman, served as a Director of the
CDC from the 32nd Congressional District (Los Angeles county), from
1960 through 1962. In a statement announcing his support for Governor
Reagan, Peake said:
"I offer such endorsement because I feel the Democratic nominee
vill bring chaos and a wave of unrestrained spending to state govern-
ment if he is elected.
"I feel that Unruh will greatly increase the costs of welfare
rather than to seek efficient and effective solutions to this costly and
tragic problem.
"Mr. Unruh will further derive most of his added tax requirements
from the middle income earner. The middle income earner is the backbone
of any successful economy.
I
think Mr. Reagan will be more concerned when
it comes to taxes paid by the middle income level of the California economy.
"Past performances of Assemblyman Unruh have shown he has been
pretty loose and free with the taxpayers' buck. This is one of the reasons
ny I will vote for the re-election of Governor Ronald Reagan
I urge
all concerned and thinking Democrats to do likewise."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES - Newly published voter opinion poll results forecast
a "record-breaking defeat" for gubernatorial candidate Jesse M. Unruh,
Republican National Committeeman Thomas C. Reed declared today.
In response to questions on the new California Poll by Mervin Field
- showing Governor Ronald Reagan's lead has widened to 16 percentage
points - Reed also predicted defeat for U. S. Senate Candidate John V.
Tunney by incumbent Senator George Murphy.
Reed, co-chairman of the Reagan campaign, said:
"This week's Field Poll confirms our belief that unprecedented millions
of Californians, from all walks of life, are supporting Governor Reagan
in his campaign for re-election.
"One out of every three Democrats has put aside partisan labels to
support the Governor in his fight against welfare abuse and the growth of
government. They appreciate his efforts to protect our educational system
and to preserve our natural resources.
"The pitiful Unruh campaign has been characterized by barge-ins and
personal attack. We may expect them to become more viscious, out of
desperation, but we have confidence in the good judgment of the people of
California,
"The Unruh-Tunney ticket appears doomed to a record-breaking defeat. 1:

HAERLE STATEMENT
The following statement was released today by Paul R. Haerle,
Northern California Chairman of the Committee to Re-Elect Governor Reagan.
The recent disclosure of Jesse Unruh's 10% interest in a luxury
Long Beach apartment house may represent the discovery of answers to one
or the other (or possibly both) of two questions which have long intrigued
students of California politics, namely:
--what did Jesse Unruh do with all the money he admittedly
collected from special interests during his tenure as the
undisputed Boss of the California legislature?
--what was the quid pro quo for Jesse's "delivery" of the
tidelands oil bill in 1964?
At the minimum, the disclosure of the 10% interest establishes:
(1) That Unruh's "financial disclosure" of earlier this year,
which gives no value at all to this 10% interest, is a dis-
graceful fraud;
(2) That, despite his pious bleats about tax loopholes, Jesse's
10% interest is a classic example of a classic loophole.
In collaboration with a few of his own millionaire friends,
he has' obviously put together what expert tax lawyers call
a "depreciation plus interest tax shelter" which gives him a big
income tax deduction with, apparently, no personal liability.
But it is the possible further aspects of the transaction which
intrigue people who have watched the Sacramento scene and have seen how
MORE
HAERLE STATEMENT/page 2
Jesse, with great relish, ravished the famous Sacramento "third house"
during his 7 years as Speaker.
I would suggest that Jesse should come clean with the people of
California and answer the following questions about his luxury Long Beach
apartment house:
(1) How much cash did he put up for his 10% equity interest?
How did he get whatever cash he did put up on a salary of $500 per
month? Did any of his investment, such as it was, come from the funds
he admittedly collected from lobbyists in Sacramento during his term
as Speaker (for which funds he never provided a public accounting)?
(2) If he didn't put up any cash or other consideration for his
10% equity, what was the relationship between his investment and the 1964
tidelands oil revenue bill, a bill which cut a $41/2 billion pie to the total
satisfaction of "Big Oil" and, apparently, some of the co-owners of the
now-famous apartment house.
(3) Why was there no provision for repayment of the Otis Elevator
loan on the apartment building? Was this "payoff" instead of "pay back"?

OPEN LETTER TO CALIFORNIANS
In an "Open Letter to Californians" made public today, two
authorities on air pollution said "Governor Reagan and his Adminis-
tration have taken a more aggressive attitude toward abating air
pollution in our state than any other previous administration."
The co-authors of the letter are Dr. W. L. Faith of San Marino,
who headed the former Air Pollution Foundation, and Dr. Joseph Kaplan
of Los Angeles, Chairman, U. S. Committee for the International
Geophysical Year. Their letter points out that:
"Major segments of California's comprehensive program developed
and supported by the Reagan Administration have been adopted by the
Federal government for application nationwide, which is strong evidence
of their effectiveness and significance."
Doctors Faith and Kaplan then ask if California's clean air
program can be as bad as Jesse Unruh says when the former Democratic
candidate for Vice President, Senator Muskie, "is so anxious to
include parts of it inhis Clean Air Bill" now pending in Congress?
On the other hands, Dr. Faith and Dr. Kaplan wrote " we are
completely unable to understand how Jesse Unruh, with a clear con-
science, could have voted against the only (anti) air pollution bill,

sponsored by the Governor, which was considered by the Assembly on
one of the few days Unruh managed to find time to attend his
legislative duties
"This bill (AB 1247 - 1970) was designed to provide long-term
planning to satisfy California's power requirement while, at the
same time, protecting our environment from potential deleterious
environmental effects
Under Governor Reagan's able leadership,
the bill was enacted into law without the help of Mr. Unruh

EDUCATORS FOR REAGAN
October 29, 1970
SF #169
A panel of four distinguished Northern California educators today
gave a high grade to the support Governor Ronald Reagan has given
education in this state.
They called a press conference in the St. Francis Hotel in San Fran-
cisco to correct some of the recent misleading statements circulated
regarding Governor Reagan's record on education.
The four are:
Dr. Virgil Salera, Professor of Economics, California State College,
Hayward.
Dr. Julian R. Youmans, Chairman, Department of Neurological Surgery,
Davis Campus, University of California.
Dr. Gordon Seely, San Francisco State College, Professor of History
and Education and Member of the Academic Senate.
Dr. Roger A. Freeman, Stanford University, former Special Assistant
to President Nixon.
The four are members of a Committee of 135 Northern California
college professors supporting the campaign for the re-election of Governor
Reagan.
Dr. Youmans said Governor Reagan "has established education as the
No. 1 priority of his Administration, with $2.44 billion -- more than
half of the State's entire general fund revenues -- committed to the
schooling of our young." Dr. Youmans cited precise statistics in support
of his statement.

courageous stand on education."
Dr. Salera declared the Reagan Administration's support of
education in terms of "constant dollars is impressive."
