RELEASE TO AM'S
SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1970
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's
address at Senator William E. Coombs' fund raising dinner at
the Regina Winery in Etiwanda (San Bernardino) Friday night.
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.

We hear a lot about the 1967 tax increase from some can-
didates who hope that the voters will forget what made it nec-
essary. But what we don't hear so much about is that in '67
and '68 and '69, more than 40 pieces of legislation were signed
into law to keep our promise to the taxpayers that the money
taken from them would be returned as fast as possible. We
are returning that money.
In 167, it was only $15 million. In '68, it was $244.5
million. In '69, it was $404.7 million, and the new budget
contains $344 million -- for a total of $1.48 billion tax
relief given back to the people of California.
The tax reform we have now before the legislature would
give every homeowner a reduction on his property tax of all
the way from a minimum of 25 percent all the way up to 40
MORE
SAN BERNARDINO/page 2
percent.
If ever you needed a reason why we must have more Repub-
licans in the legislature, the fight on that tax reform bill
in the Assembly is a good case in point.
We have a paper-thin majority there -- 41 Republicans.
And one of those -- Pat McGee of Van Nuys - -- is absent because
of illness. So, we have only 40 votes and it takes 41 votes
to get this bill out. Thus the Assembly Democrats have it in
their power to deprive the people of California of the tax
reform.
This week, all 40 Republicans voted for tax reform. Six
Democrats voted with them. Then the Democratic leadership -
puppets of the former speaker -- pulled those six off the floor
of the Assembly and into a caucus and forced them into changing
their votes from "Yes" to "Abstain". As of now, not one single
Democrat is voting for tax reform.
Now, we can usually count on bi-partisan support on some
matters. There are several Democrats of good-will in the
Assembly. But, when the chips are down on the really big
questions -- and when the Democratic leadership turns the
screws, it's awful for a few Democrats to buck the whole party
leadership. That is why we need more Republicans in Sacra-
mento.
MORE
SAN BERNARDINO/page 3
On a purely partisan, self-serving basis, the Democratic
leadership is refusing to pass a tax reform package which
would reduce the property tax anywhere from 25 to 40 percent
and reduce state income taxes for the renters and the elderly,
and cut the business inventory tax and take part of the cost
of the welfare programs off the counties' backs.
If, this time next year, you are still paying the same
high property tax -- if renters and elderly citizens have
not had a further reduction in their state income taxes, if
business is still saddled with the present level of inventory
tax - the blame will rest solely and only on the shoulders
of the Democratic leadership.
I think we may still get tax reform this session. I
think the Democratic leadership will have to come to its senses
-- but it is up to them. And they must realize that tax reform
does not mean tax increase: on that there will be no compromise.
When the tax reform bills get to the Senate, we will
continue to work closely with (Senator) Bill Coombs. Bill's
help and advise has been invaluable to us in these all-impor-
tant matters and I know that he will be in the lead in the
effort to see that you get the tax reform -- and property
tax relief -- you need.
MORE
SAN BERNARDINO/page 4
Some Democrats are trying to scuttle tax reform by saying
they want more money for education. Well, all of us are con-
cerned about money for education. But, the Democrats are trying
to hook up money for education with the wrong bill
the way
to get money for education is help us get welfare reform.
Right now we have before the Assembly, a welfare reform
package which could save the taxpayers of this State between
$100 and $130 million. There's the money for education --
and if the Democrats will help us enact those welfare reforms,
we can have more money for the schools without raising taxes.
I think the record of state support of schools should
be set straight. During the eight years of the previous
administration, state support of schools declined from 45.8
percent to 41 percent of the total. In the first year of our
administration, we stopped that downward trend and so far --
during the past three and one-half years -- have increased
the State's share a couple of percentage points and probably
more when the score is in for this year.
In our four years we have provided $78 million more for
local school support than the previous administration did in
its last four years in office. The present state aid is $1.65
billion, up from $1.2 billion three and one-half years ago.

"The time has come for responsible citizens to take inventory
of what is happening within California and decide which course the
future shall take -- a continuing effort toward an orderly alliance
of all Californians or a disorderly slump into disunity and lawless-
ness.
"Governor Ronald Reagan in his first term as California's chief
executive has repeatedly called for the use of reason in the manage-
ment of our daily affairs. He has consistently and decisively
demanded that efficiency and economy be the bulwark of state govern-
ment.
"He is a man of fiscal integrity and complete devotion to his
obligation as a leader. His constant attention to the duties and
responsibilities of the state's business and progress provides the
leadership that we all believe in.
"California can gain little today by indulging itself in
partisan politics. We firmly believe that California can be served
best by returning Governor Reagan to Sacramento for another four
years "
Six, of Beverly Hills, is a long-time registered Democrat and
has frequently been active in behalf of Democratic candidates in the
past. One of the pioneer leaders in American commercial aviation,
he is a native of California and was born and raised in Stockton.

the urgent need to speak out on behalf of any candidate. But we
feel that Governor Ronald Reagan should have the full support of all
Californians.

fine leadership."

"I feel there are others in every walk of life as
concerned as I am about the vital issues facing society today,"
Miss Rose said, "and they can show their concern by participa-
tion in the Concerned Citizens program.
"It is the first time, to my knowledge, that a poli-
tical party has actually given the citizen in the street a
chance to become involved with the issues he feels are impor-
tant. "
Miss Rose was referring to the "Concerned Citizens"
packet which is available free from the Reagan Southern California
Headquarters, 1250 North Western Avenue in Los Angeles.
The packet includes a question and answer section of
Reagan's stands on various issues and return cards for the indi-
vidual to list the issues that concern him the most.
"This is a method where by Republicans, Democrats
and Independents -any concerned citizen- can refer their ques-
tions and opinions directly to the Administration,' Miss Rose
added. "I feel the Republican Party is anxious and interested in
the thoughts of the people."
All Reagan campaign headquarters have the Concerned
Citizen packets available.

STATEMENT OF THOMAS H. KUCHEL
I shall support Governor Ronald Reagan in his
campaign for a second term. He has asked me to be
co-chairman, together with Mrs. Eleanor Ring, Republican
National Committeewoman from California, of his Advisory
Committee, and I have accepted that responsibility.
I urge my fellow Californians to vote for
Governor Reagan in the November general election, for I
believe he is far and away the best choice California
can make for her Chief Executive during the next four
years.
We now can judge Ronald Reagan on his conduct
as a public servant. His official life and his personal
life have been completely free from the slightest whisper
of impropriety. . He has given this State clean, honest
government. His is a proven integrity.
These are troublesome times, and our State and
nation face many critical issues. At the bedrock, we
LA #33/Page 2
need a Governor deeply committed to the rule of law. Ronald
Reagan is so committed. The Governor of our State must be
ready to accept current problems and to seek their best
solutions. Ronald Reagan is.
When he took office four years ago, he found some
major provisions of the Social Welfare Program so loosely
administered as to undermine the State's fiscal integrity,
if left unchecked. He did everything he could to eliminate
the errors he found, and the administration of welfare
improved. He maintains our State must aid the physically
handicapped and the economically distressed, seeking,
meanwhile, the best means of providing maximum gainful
employment.
And in another field, I thought his recent
legislative program to ease the burden of California's
home owners a commendable forward step. Real property
taxes, in my view, are almost an anachronism.
How a Governor uses his powers of appointment
is a pretty good yardstick by which to judge him. In
Governor Reagan's case, his appointees to the State
administration and to our State courts have been generally
and uniformly high, and they have been representative of
every ethnic group among us. Leaders of the California
Bar attest to the excellent calibre of his appointments
to the bench.
MORE
LA #33 Page 3
It is to the great credit of Governor Reagan
that he has taken an active lead in the continuing
struggle to bring an adequate water supply to semi-arid
Southern California. Without enough water, this part
of the State would blow away. Governor Reagan is
wholeheartedly committed to the timely completion of
the State Water Plan.
These are some of the reasons why I am very
glad to support Governor Reagan and to urge my fellow
citizens to vote for him next November.

Governor Ronald Reagan today commended Frank Sinatra for
his aid to the Dan Mitrione family of Richmond, Indiana.
The Governor, in a statement, said:
"On August 29, in Richmond, Indiana, Frank Sinatra, Jerry
Lewis and other stars of the entertainment world demonstrated to
the nation and the world, the meaning of the words "brotherhood"
and "heart".
"They gave of their time, their talents, their money and
their hearts to a benefit organized by Frank Sinatra to raise
funds for the education of the children of a heroic American po-
lice officer who died by assassins' bullets in South America.
"Dan Mitrione knew the meaning of the words "brotherhood"
and "heart". He left the security of the United States to help
the people of Uruguay modernize and reorganize their own police
forces.
"To his family, he left a legacy of courage and sacrifice.
"Frank Sinatra and the stars who participated in the benefit
demonstrated that the sacrifice will not be forgotten. In the 110
degree heat of the Richmond High School civic center, 4,200 of Dan
Mitrione's friends paid tribute to him and his memory. Over $100,
000 was raised for the education of Mitrione's nine children.

"Frank Sinatra's compassion and initiative in organizing
this benefit is an inspiration to all Americans. And the
response to Sinatra's efforts by Dan Mitrione's friends in Rich-
mond, Indiana is a heartening reminder that his life and deeds
are not forgotten by his countrymen.

Mass migrations of the rural poor to the cities presented us
with large numbers of people totally without marketable skills, un-
trained for work in an urban, technological society. This difference
between the unemployed of the 30's and the 50's went un-noticed by
an entrenched welfare bureaucracy. They applied the same old medi-
cine of the 30's and when it failed they doubled and re-doubled the
dosage. By 1961 there were 45 federal programs expending $10 billion.
Today there are 435 spending $27 billion. The patient is no closer
to a cure but his medicine chest has outgrown our ability to keep it
filled.
The time has come to match the treatment to the disease. Poverty
like hunger cannot be cured with a handout. Give a hungry man a fish
and he'll be hungry again tomorrow. Teach him how to fish--he'll
never be hungry again. Send the person who is poor but willing into
the labor market with a skill that is in demand.

I am well aware that our efforts in Sacramento have been dis-
torted until many of you have the impression that we are aiming our
blows at the halt and the blind with utter lack of human kindness.
This is, of course, untrue -- but let me indicate what we are trying
to do by asking "Do you think that a couple, both employed by
government with a joint income of $35,000 a year, should be re-
ceiving a welfare grant for a handicapped child?"
Welfare is the taxpayers' greatest domestic expense and it is
increasing in cost faster than our revenues can keep pace. Some dema-
gogues preach that we can foist the cost off on the idle rich or the
high earners they say are escaping their fair share of the tax burden.
In this way they justify more and more government spending. They lie
in their teeth. If government confiscated all the earnings of those
in the 50% income tax bracket and above, it wouldn't run government
for one day.
Mrs. Beulah Sanders of New York, a member of the National Wel-
fare Rights organization, knows where the money is. Testifying before
the House Ways and Means Committee she said: "Everyone in this country
has the right to share the wealth. The money has gone into the pockets
of the middle class and if we don't get our share we are going to dis-
rupt this state, this country and this capitol.'
Well, you the working men and women of this country are that
middle class she was talking about and if the money is going into your
pockets it's because you are working and earning every dollar of it.

LA #36/Page 3
Yes, we are trying for welfare reform -- not to deny those who
can't help themselves, but to stop institutionalizing poverty and
condemming millions of Americans to the hopelessness of the dole into
the second and third generations. I'm convinced the majority of recip-
ients want to work and will if given a chance. I am also convinced
there is a sizeable percentage of people who have taken advantage of
loopholes in the thousands of overlapping federal regulations to augment
their incomes at your expense.
Since so many charges have been made against California welfare
and there is so much confusion, let's set the record straight.
In overall aid to the needy, California leads the nation. We are
number one in aid to the blind, with payments $50 per month higher
than the national average.
-0- California ranks second in aid to the aged, with payments of
almost $40 above the national average.
-0- And second in aid to the disabled, more than $41 per month
above the national average.
-0- California is No. 1 in the total number of children receiving
aid under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program, and pay-
ments in that category rank above the national average.
We intend to keep it this way. Public assistance should go to
the truly needy not the truly greedy.
I asked you one question -- let me ask a few more.
Should an unmarried pregnant girl have a $400 abortion at the
taxpayers' expense regardless of the wealth of her partents? Should
a handicapped child of well-to-do parents be given a welfare grant just
so he can feel independent?
MORE
LA #36/Page 4
Should a $13,700 a year social worker employed by the county,
receive a welfare grant under the Aid to Dependent Children program?
Do you believe a citizen owning a $30,000 home, 4 cars, a $2,500
gun collection, 4 horses and the prospect of earning anywhere from
$500 to $5,000 within a matter of weeks should be eligible for free
food under the government's Community Surplus program?
All of these examples are perfectly legal under the present regu-
lations and all of them are actual cases.
There is another area in which California is a national leader,
and it's one that will never be a source of pride:
Almost one in every nine Californians -- 2,294,500 in this fiscal
year -- is receiving some sort of public assistance at a total cost 0
nearly $3 billion in tax maney. Last year the rolls of those receiving
public assistance increased by 239,000.
Encouraged by self-seeking politicians, some organized welfare
groups are demanding more than a temporary helping hand. Some seek
to make poverty a profession. And as Professor Milton Friedman said,
"If you pay people to be poor, you are going to have plenty of poor
people.
Welfare officials in Alameda County disclosed that 3,559 persons
who hold full-time jobs also receive welfare benefits. In Los Angeles
County, this number was reported to be 17,000
It is unfortunate, but necessary, to note that one of the biggest
obstacles we have faced in attempting to control the growing costs of
welfare has been the courts.
MORE
LA #36/Page 5
The U.S. Supreme Court nullified California's one-year residency
requirement for welfare and by forcing the State to grant instant
welfare to roving recipients increased our costs by $95 million. That
is almost enough to finance another 10 percent cut in your income tax
similar to the rebate you received this year.
While the Supreme Court decision still stands, we asked the
legislature for a law which would limit roving recipients who come to
California to the same amount of welfare money they received in the
state they came from for a period of one year. So far we've been un-
able to get that changed.
Although the 1970 Legislature failed to pass our major reform
program -- that would have increased aid to needy children, at the
same time that it provided a program for mandatory work for unemployed
fathers and increased support for job training -- we have made sub-
stantial progress in tightening welfare laws and streamlining admin-
istration.
We have established a Welfare Fraud Review Panel which found that
almost 16 percent of sampled AFDC welfare families received aid fraud-
ulently at a cost to the taxpayers of $59 million annually.
We've helped the counties by eliminating an unreasonable staff
ratio that required one supervisor for each five social workers. The
estimated annual savings are $75 million.
We have emphasized rehabilitation of handicapped individuals and
California has moved from eleventh to second among the states in this
area.
MORE
LA #36/Page 6
Three years ago only 4,500 handicapped were rehabilitated.
Last year there were 14,500. They earned $66 million in wages
annually, pay $10 million in taxes each year and save the State tax
funds formerly spent for their care.
You have heard and read charges that we are denying medical
care to the needy. Well, that's one way to put it, but let me state
it another way and see if perhaps you'll agree with what we are
really doing. We have simply tightened the Medi-Cal regulations to
require homeowners with cash in the bank or with other assets to use
some of their own assets before receiving full-cost Medi-Cal coverage
at your (the taxpayer's) expense.
We also asked for and received a law which will make sure that
funds intended for needy children are not pocketed and spent by an
unrelated male adult living with a welfare family. We have ordered
an end to welfare for those who refuse to accept jobs or training
without good cause, even though some federal laws have proved to be
a blockade. We are developing a computer-based welfare management
system to further reduce overhead costs.
And, quite importantly, we asked for and received legislative
FELONY
approval for a law making welfare fraud of $200 or more a
rather than a misdemeanor. I'm sure most Califor nians didn't know
we had a double standard of justice. If you or I stole more than
$200, we could be charged with grand theft, a felony. But, until
we changed the law, a welfare recipient could get away with more than
$200 and only be charged with a misdemeanor with its lesser pen-
alties
MORE
LA #36/Page 7
We also seek a realistic limit on the Food Stamp Program.
College students listing their allowance as income are collect-
ing and cashing food stamps. There are cafes that will take stamps in
lieu of cash. Food stamps also are the main provider for many hippie
communes and other social dropouts, who are voluntarily unemployed.
These are the abuses which can and should be corrected at the
federal level. But we want to see the Food Stamp Program extended to
counties which do not have it
There is no doubt that California taxpayers have been getting
the short end in the welfare mess and a big tax bill to go with it.
At the same time the truly needy are short changed because we can't
do all we really should for them
Many people are concerned about the population explosion and
they make proposals to discourage people from having large families.
One such proposal in Sacramento this year was a serious effort to
limit a family's income tax deductions to a maximum of two children
It didn't get any place but, just the same, it brings an inter-
esting comparison to mind.
How do those who think its a good idea to penalize taxpayers for
having a large family feel about regulations which actually offer
cash incentives to welfare recipients to have large families? There
are such regulations.
And consider this: You all pay Social Security -- if a man
(head of a family) dies, his widow is only allowed benefits for up to
MORE
LA #36/Page 8
two children. But again we find the welfare families receive
additional cash grants and supplemental benefits for all children
regardless of number
The massive tax drain that welfare represents is eroding our
ability to fund other necessary services that government should
provide for you. It isn't fair to ask a working father to provide
health care for others that he can't afford for his own family.

One of the Democratic Party's most prominent members and
contributors today endorsed Governor Ronald Reagan for re-election.
Eugene V. Klein, board chairman and chief executive officer
of National General Corporation, joined the growing group of well-
known Democrats publicly supporting Reagan's re-election.
Klein, business leader in a variety of fields as well as
sports enterprises, cited Reagan's "business approach to state
government problems" as one reason for his crossing of party lines
to support the Governor.
A life-long registered Democrat, who intends to continue to
remain active in the Democratic Party, Klein actively supported
the late John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey.
Four years ago he served as a Co-Finance Chairman in Governor
Brown's campaign for re-election.
"Governor Reagan asked me for my support," Klein said. "This
I agreed to do because he has brought efficiency and economy into
our state government. He has streamlined state operations and has
brought common sense management to the state's business.

LA #37/Page 2
"With a state as large as ours and the multitudinous
problems that face it, we must continue this vital leadership
for the next four years. I am convinced that Governor Reagan
will give us that kind of leadership."
One of Klein's first assignments in the Reagan campaign
will be to serve as chairman of the major fund-raising event to
be held at the Now Grove in the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel on
Sunday, October 4.
This will be an evening of entertainment headlining Frank
Sinatra and Dean Martin, both prominent Democrats who have joined
the Reagan re-election campaign.
In addition to his National General Corporation, Klein is a
partner in Klein-Foreman Motors and is a director of City National
Bank. He is president of the San Diego Chargers football club and
chairman of the Seattle Supersonics Basketball organization.
He also has been active in civic and charitable causes in
Southern California. He is a director of the Martin Luther King,
Jr. General Hospital, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the Constitu-
tional Rights Foundation.
He is a member of the Urban Affairs Committee and the Anti-
Defamation League as well as the Mental Health Association. Klein
also is a Big Brothers Booster, and has served in the American
Cancer Society and the National Cystic Fibrosis Association fund-
raising drives.

Following is the text of Governor Ronald Reagan's
remarks on a commercial film being telecast over a group of
California television stations this evening:
Tonight, before the 1970 political campaigns really get
underway, I would like to spend these few minutes with you
talking candidly about the November elections.
As a candidate for re-election this year, I am running as
a member of a team -- the Team for the Seventies. This includes
the Republican legislative candidates for both the State Assembly
and the State Senate, and the candidates for California State
Constitutional offices:
-0- Ed Reinecke - former engineer-businessman and three-
term Congressman who has been Lt. Governor since 1969;
-0- State Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest - who served as
Treasurer of the United States for eight years;
-0- State Controller Houston I. Flournoy - former edu-
cator and three-term state legislator before being elected
Controller;
MORE
LA #38/Page 2
-0- James Flournoy - Los Angeles businessman and civic
leader who is our candidate for Secretary of State; and
-0- District Attorney Evelle Younger of Los Angeles
who is our candidate for State Attorney General.
On November 3rd, you will make a choice between this team
and a group led by my opponent who played an important part
in amassing the sorry record of the early 60's -- problems we
have been working to correct these past four years. One of the
major issues of this campaign is whether California is to return
to the politics of the sixties -- or whether we are to keep moving
ahead with the Team for the Seventies.
During the next two months, we will be discussing with
you issues of importance to our State. We will stick with the
issues. We think you must be tired of the same old political
tactics of name-calling and personal attacks. We'll talk about
our continuing -- and successful - - - - - efforts to hold down the size
and cost of government; we'll talk about the progress we have made
in getting tougher laws and tougher judges to protect you and
your family and your property; about education and how we have
greatly increased the State's support of both local school dis-
tricts and our state colleges and universities -- and we also
set forth our work and ideas for realistic reforms so that we can
have improved education in all of these schools
and we 11
MORE
LA #38/Page 3
review the progress we have made in preserving the magical
environment of California --- in fighting air pollution and water
pollution, and in adding to our state parks and beaches.
I won't pretend -- either to you or to myself -- that in
our first four years we have accomplished everything we set out
to do, or want to do. You are aware of our fight for tax relief --
we believe that the homeowner needs a reduction in his property
taxes. 93 of 119 legislators voted for our tax program which
would have meant an average 27 percent reduction in your pro-
perty taxes. 13 State Senators blocked that tax relief program.
If re-elected, I will keep right on fighting for that tax relief.
We must and we will have it.
All of you are concerned about the continuing campus dis-
turbances and some of you have been told we made them worse. If
that's true, it's because we quit appeasing and started opposing
the radical few who are causing the trouble. We could have
allowed the Berkeley street people to take over--steal is the
proper word--$1.3 million worth of university property paid for
by the taxpayers and there would have been no Peoples Park epi-
sode, or allowed a motley crew of non-students to burn down Isla
Vista or not have made Dr. Hayakawa president of San Francisco
State. And we could have allowed Angela Davis to remain at UCLA.
But the vast majority of our students are fine young people
MORE
LA #38/Page 4
deserving of an education, and the majority of faculty want to
give them that education. They are going to have that opportunity.
Our campuses are not going to become sanctuaries for vandals and
law breakers.
We are hearing the cries of gloom and doom from those who
tell us that California is coming apart at the seams. There
always seems to be at least one "Chicken Little" ready to take
off to announce the sky is falling. Well, California is still
here and still strong and eager for the future. There is nothing
we Californians can't do if we put our minds and our hearts and
our muscle to it. And that, too, is what this election is all
about -- getting the government off our backs and out of our poc-
kets so that all of us can get to work.
Speaking for all the members of the Team for the Seventies
and myself, thank you for letting me visit with you this evening.

Following is a copy of a letter sent by Governor
Reagan to Assemblyman Jesse M. Unruh during the weekend:
Dear Assemblyman Unruh:
The problems facing California are indeed critical. Beyond
words. Beyond oratory.
It is imperative that a team for the 70's be elected based on
performance and a solid examination of the record. It should
not be based on promises, headlines, or spectacular confron-
tations.
You have been in public life for over a decade. You have built
a very clear record. I believe the voters are well able to
match performance with promise.
The people of California deserve the opportunity to examine our
respective records. And this they can do without campaign rhe-
toric or the pretense of public debate.
I have faith in the people's ability to decide. You should
come on out and talk to them, and perhaps even listen to them.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan
Governor

The following statement was made today by Thomas C.
Reed, Republican National Committeeman and Co-Chairman of the
Committee to Re-Elect Governor Ronald Reagan:
I applaud Governor Reagan's decision to decline the
'þretense of public debate" with Jesse Unruh.
Big Daddy has been in public life for over a decade. He
has built a very clear record in the Assembly. It conflicts so
badly with what he has said that any debate would be inappropriate.
On the matter of rebating surplus funds to the taxpayer,
instead of spending them, he said, "I think every penny of that
surplus ought to be returned to the people and returned now.
That's the people's money. 111/ We certainly agree. Unfortunately,
however, he voted against SB825, which provided a 10% rebate on
all tax returns. Governor Reagan signed that bill into law on
September 4, 1969.
1. Press conference, February 5, 1969.
MORE
LA #40/Page 2
On the matter of campus violence, he said that it is
"terribly crucial" that the legislature cope this year with un-
rest and dissent on the state's college and university campuses.
To that end, we introduced AB534--a bill making it illegal for
anyone who has been kicked off a campus during a disturbance to
return for 72 hours. When the bill came to a vote, Unruh was
in the Assembly Chamber, was granted additional time to debate,
but did not vote. We passed the measure anyway, and Governor
Reagan signed it into law on September 4, 1969.
On the matter of clean air, Unruh said: "I support the
principle of Governor Reagan's clean air law which he announced
last week. This legislation represents a step toward cleansing
the air we breathe. In this effort he has my enthusiastic sup-
1.3/
port.
But when those bills passed the Assembly, Unruh was not
even there to vote.
On the matter of Angela Davis, he has wandered all over
the lot. On October 19, 1969, he said: "The real issue at the
University of California is not Angela Davis. 114/ On May 16, 1970,
he said: "I would not rehire Angela Davis. 15/ But on May 23, 1970,
he concluded that if he were Governor, and thus a U.C. Regent, he
"would have to support the Chancellor's recommendation (to re-
hire her) 1,6/

On Proposition 8, an irresponsible initiative that
would have resulted in a billion dollar tax increase this year,
Unruh said that he did not think endorsing a proposition is
exercising leadership. Well, a member of his own party put it
a little differently. Mayor Yorty said: "If he (Unruh) can't
make up his mind on Proposition 8, how would he be able to make
1,8/
decisions as Governor?
For the last decade the taxpayers have been paying Unruh
to sit in a deliberative body -- the California Legislature --
and debate these same issues. Yet during the busiest months of
this session alone (May-June-July), he showed up for work - - to
debate the issues -- only nine days. While I'm sure my fellow
taxpayers join me in welcoming Big Daddy's new-found interest
in debate, it seems a little late.
I am very hopeful that we will have a free and open ex-
amination of our candidates' records, an American election free
of spectacles, headline-hunting, irresponsible rhetoric, and
the confrontations and disruptions that Jesse Unruh and his fol-
lowers seem to enjoy. I am distressed, though, that Unruh has

already admitted to a campaign of harrassment. On September 24,
1969, Unruh said: "We'll just keep badgering him. 1,9/
The people deserve otherwise.
The Governor is to be commended for his faith in the
people's ability to decide.

FRESNO
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address
to the Kiwanis District Convention at the Fresno Convention Center on
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-
During this campaign I determined that I would not react to or
ecognize the demagogic statements of my opponent. Naturally, I had
in mind statements he might make about me.
However, here in Fresno just four days ago my opponent made a
vicious attack on one of the young men in my administration. His at-
tack was a complete distortion of the facts. And, because I want to
make sure that the professional or personal reputation of a brilliant
young physician is not damaged, I intend to set the record straight.
It was charged that Dr. Earl W. Brian, Jr., our Director of Health
Care Services, was a "political incompetent" appointed to his post in
payment of a 1968 political debt I owed Earl's father.
Point One: Earl Brian's father, a highly respected surgeon and
physician in North Carolina and a life-long Democrat, passed away on
August 1, 1960.
MORE
FRESNO/Page 2
Point Two: In August of 1968, Earl Brian was serving in Vietnam
as a flight surgeon with the First Air Calvary Division. As a bat-
talion surgeon, Captain Brian won the nation's third highest decoration
of bravery, the Silver Star. Let me read to you a portion of the cita-
tion which accompanied that decoration:
"When his unit came under an intense rocket and mortar attack and
a two-story barracks received a direct hit, Captain Brian immediately
headed for the area. Twice on his way to the building he was thrown
to the ground by the impact of rockets. Upon reaching the building, he
administered aid to the wounded and then removed them to the security
of the bunkers. While aiding some casualties, a second building was
struck. Disregarding his own safety, he again braved the hostile fire
as he moved forward to repeat his gallant actions. Captain Brian's
gallant action is in keeping with the highest traditions of the mili-
tary service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit and the
United States Army."
He was also awarded the Air Medal with a "V" for Valor and the
Bronze Star for Meritorious Action. This is the gallant young man my
opponent selected for his demagogic and vicious attack.
Point Three: Earl Brian, a graduate of Duke University, interned
at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto. In the words of
Dean of that medical school, he was one of the highest-qualified few
selected to serve their internships at that highly renowned medical
center. Out of hundreds of applications for internships, only 12 were
accepted -- Earl Brian was one of the 12.
MORE
FRESNO/Page 3
While an intern at Stanford, he was named an assistant adminis-
trator of the hospital and worked on a new design for the hospital's
computerized information service.
Point Four: The report on the abuses of Medic-Aid issued by
Senator Russell Long, and referred to by my opponent as part of the
basis for his attack on Dr. Brian, was published on February 9, 1970--
two months before Dr. Brian took office as Director of the State's
Health Care Services Department. It dealt, mainly, with a period of
1966-67 and 1968.
Dr. Earl Brian, not yet 30 years of age, is a brilliant and
outstanding young man, doing a tremendous job as Director of Health
Care Services. In the 5 months since taking office he has saved the
taxpayers some $25 million, has tightened the administrative procedures
of the department, introduced a schedule of maximum allowable hospital
charges under Medi-Cal, and has sent medical review teams into the
field to make sure that the patients are receiving the proper care
and that the taxpayers' money is carefully managed and wisely spent.
He is the type of young man that I am proud to have on temporary
duty in state service -- and he is serving at a tremendous financial
sacrifice because of his strong feeling that each individual citizen
should do his personal part for good government. Mr. Unruh says he
owes Dr. Brian a personal apology; he certainly does. He owes the
people of California an apology, as well.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY
FOR RELEASE TO:
FRIDAY A.M.s
September 18, 1970
LA # 42
Like a proverbial tidal wave, the Reagan campaign today re-
leased a sweeping list of 18 new community headquarters and 16 new
chairmen in Los Angeles County.
"We intend to blanket the whole area, " Mark T. Gates, Jr.,
Los Angeles County chairman, said in making the announcements, "and
to my knowledge, this is the first time in any campaign that such
a large number of chairmen and headquarters have been announced in
one day. "
Gates, 33, has been serving as the Los Angeles County chairman
since the campaign began. County campaign director is Dirk ten Gro-
tenhuis. Both were appointed by David L. James, Southern California
campaign chairman.
An attorney in Los Angeles, Gates is a partner in the law firm
of Gates, Morris, Merrill, and Stephens. He is a member of the Los
Angeles County Bar Association, the California Bar Association and
the American Bar Association.
He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Stanford University
School of Law.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY
LA # 42/Page 2
ten Grotenhuis, 31, is president of his own investment coun-
seling firm in Los Angeles. Born in the Phillipines, he spent his
boyhood in the Far East but returned to the United States for school-
ing. He attended Thatcher School in the Ojai Valley and graduated
from Stanford in 1960.
"It is our aim to have a headquarters within easy reach of
every voter in Los Angeles County, Gates said. "We want to be sure
that interested citizens can get all of the information regarding
Governor Ronald Reagan and his great record of accomplishments that

FOR RELEASE TO:
THURSDAY P.M.'s
September 17, 1970
The dean of the Los Angeles City Councilmen, now serving his
nineteenth consecutive year and elected President of the Council
for the sixth time, today endorsed Governor Ronald Reagan for re-
election.
John S. Gibson, Jr., a life-long registered Democrat, said
that he felt "Reagan is just out-and-out the right man for the job. "
Gibson, first elected to the City Council in 1951, made a
point of the fact that he has always made it a practice to refrain
from endorsing any candidates.
"However, I like Reagan, Gibson said. "If I listed all the
good things the Governor has done, you'd run out of paper. He's
good for California and we need him in Sacramento."
Pointing out his long term of governmental service, Gibson
added he liked the "citizen approach and good common sense prac-
tices that Reagan has brought to the State government."
Gibson's district includes San Pedro, Wilmington and Watts.
He has always been a big vote-getter and was unopposed in his
last race.

GIBSON/Page 2
Born in Kansas, Gibson, at the age of 21, was elected the
youngest mayor in the United States in 1923 in the town of Geneseo,
Kansas. He also served as City Police Judge.
He came to California in 1927 and lived in Long Beach for one
year and then moved to San Pedro where he and his wife, the former
Mina Workman, still live.
His record of civic activities and accomplishments is long and
varied.
He was always active in Junior Chamber of Commerce work, serv-
ing as vice-president of the State Junior Chamber in 1935, 36, and
37, and as chairman of the Wild Life Federation, Commercial Fisheries
committee of that organization. He was voted the Distinguished
Service Award from the National Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1936.
Gibson was a founder of the first Boys' Club of California in
1935. Noted for his work with youth, he was voted the Distinguished
Service Award from the Civitan Service Club International in 1938.
He is a vice-president of Pacific Southwest Youth for Christ in
Los Angeles.
Among other service clubs, Gibson is a Mason and a Shriner and
a member of the Los Angeles Commandery No. 9 Knights Templar of Cal-
ifornia. He is also a member of San Pedro Lodge No. 966 of the
B.P.O.E. and serves on the Board of Deacons of the First Baptist
Church of that city.

He served as president of the California-Israel Chamber of
Commerce from 1954-1960 and was made Honorary President in 1961.
Gibson joins a growing list of Democratic civic officials
who have endorsed Governor Reagan for re-election. Included
among them are the mayors or mayors pro-tem of Avalon, Torrance,

LA #48 & SF #138
Los Angeles -- Thomas C. Reed, Co-chairman of Governor Ronald
Reagan's Re-election Campaign, today rejected Democratic candidate
Jesse M. Unruh's latest debate proposal with a charge that Unruh's
campaign has been "characterized by untruths."
Reed made his comment in a telegram responding to an invita-
tion for the Governor to appear at a meeting of the Los Angeles
County Federation of Labor (AFL-CIO) on Saturday.
Unruh yesterday said he wanted the appearance to be made a
debate between Governor Reagan and himself.
Reed's wire, sent to Sigmund Arywitz, Exectuive Secretary-
Treasurer of the Labor organization, said:
"We deeply appreciate your kind invitation to Governor Reagan
to appear before the L.A. County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO.
"We are very proud that millions of working men and women
have long been supporting the Governor in his fight against welfare
abuse and the growth of government as well as his fight for good
education and the protection of our resources.
"We are equally delighted that many leaders of organized labor
are now supporting the Governor's campaign for re-election.
"I therefore regret to advise you that the Governor's schedule
for Saturday is already fully committed at this time.
MORE
REED/page 2
"More important, however, I cannot in good conscience,
recommend to the Governor that he appear on the same platform with
Jesse Unruh. Mr. Unruh's campaign has been characterized by un-
truths, from beginning to end.
"At the beginning, on November 17 of last year, he said:
'Californians may not realize it but during the past three
I
years not one new state beach or state park has been acquired
The fact is, during the Reagan administration 40,000 acres of new
park land and 42 miles of beaches have been added to the state
park system.
"And only last week, Unruh attacked a valiant young man claim-
ing political contributions by a father who, it turns out, has
been dead for ten years.
"Jesse Unruh simply does not tell the truth. I would not
recommend that you darken the good name of the AFL-CIO by accredit-
ing such a man to your members.
"Thank you again for your kind invitation. "

FOR RELEASE:

SUNDAY, September 27, 1970
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's
remarks at the Ventura Reception in behalf of Republican Assembly
candidate Randolph E. Siple. (37th AD) in Ventura Sunday afternoon.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed
as a verbatim text, however, he stands behind all material con-
tained in this as a public statement by him.
-0-
California needs people like Randy Siple in the Legislature.
When we first went to Sacramento in 1967 with one of the biggest
mandates for change in State history, we had to go up against a
Legislature that was still controlled by our opponents. They weren't
exactly interested in making our administration an overnight success.
Our first break came in 1969. For the first time in a decade
we had a working majority.
Well, a lot of important legislation that had been bottled up
for years by the Democrats was shaken loose. We got some particu-
larly important crime legislation -- new anti-pornography laws --
the first in eight years -- and tougher penalties for such crimes
as violent robbery, rape and burglary when the victims suffer bodily
harm. And we got a law providing the death penalty for persons
convicted of setting off a bomb or other explosive device which
injures someone or takes a life. That law is particularly important
when you consider there were more than 5,000 bombings across the
United States during one 18-month period in which 40 persons were
killed.
MORE
VENTURA/page 2
These tougher laws do help, contrary to the views of our
opposition in Sacramento. Already the growth rate in several
major felony areas is beginning to slow. I'm not saying we have
stopped or reversed the crime rate -- we have slowed it. As the
old saying goes, you have to crawl before you can walk. Well,
we've been crawling and we've made some progress. Now we're
ready to walk and if you send us good, solid citizens like Randy
Siple to the Assembly, and return experienced legislators like Bob
Lagomarsino to the Senate, we'll be able to run
In the last session of the Legislature we had a major tax re-
form program blocked by 13 men who succeeded in denying California's
homeowners an average 27 per cent reduction in their property taxes.
Most of these people can usually be found on the pro side of any
big spending program. They almost hold in disdain those Californ-
ians who want to control their own destinies, who want to work for
the benefit of their families. It is that kind of philosophy that
the voters of California rejected in 1966. And it is that kind of
philosophy which we are again fighting in 1970.

FIREMEN
FOR RELEASE TO:
MONDAY AM'S
September 28, 1970
LA # 52
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's
remarks to the California State Firemen's Association Convention
in Long Beach Sunday 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-
In the past year 120 members of the California State Firemen's
Association have passed away -- 12 of them as a result of injuries
received while on duty. Among the deceased was the Honorable Harold
Bowhay who died on Labor Day after 20 years as chief of the Fire and
Rescue Division of the California Disaster Office.
It has been said of war but it is appropriate to the life of a
fireman: "long hours of boredom punctuated by a few seconds of
intense fear." It is definitely not a profession for just any man.
Society owes a tremendous debt to its firefighters. Few others are
asked to bail man out of so many of his own follies.
We have entered a time of the year now when we will be making
great demands upon our firemen. Ending a long, hot summer with our
wildlands parched and tinder dry, just waiting for the slightest
human mistake. It will be a time of tragedy for many Californians,
as it was just last week in Berkeley Hills when scores of homes were
MORE
FIREMEN/page 2
destroyed in a single fire. It was only the dedicated efforts of
professional fire-fighters, who enlisted and directed hundreds of
civilians in the battle, that kept the blaze from being one of the
most tragic episodes in California history.
This is a time, too, when our firemen are plagued by unbe-
lievable and unforgivable handicaps in performing their duty. We
are experiencing an era in our history when small groups of sick
"revolutionaries" are bent upon destroying society.
Fiendishly they bomb or set the torch to campus or business
buildings and then, like ghouls, prey upon the firemen who are sent
to protect life and property. These people are among the most
despicable who have ever fouled this earth.
Firemen today, more than ever, stand as an important part of
the thin, blue line -- shoulder to shoulder with our policemen --
and offer the public protection from natural and man-caused dangers.

GAN NOT TO PUSH FOR POLLUTION CONTROLS ON AUTOS BECAUSE HE IS THE
GOVERNOR'S CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIRMAN.
"HOLMES TUTTLE IS GOVERNOR REAGAN'S CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIRMAN --

THAT'S THE PART OF THE STORY THAT IS TRUE. BUT THEMTHER HALF OF

POST, IS THE LARGEST VOLKSWAGEN DEALER IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES.
"I WOULD NOT MAINTAIN THAT HE HAS EXERTED UNDUE INFLUENCE ON
JESS, EVEN THOUGH JESS VOTED AGAINST -- OR WAS ON VACATION-- WHEN
LEGISLATION WAS ENACT ED TO AUTHORIZE THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD TO
ESTABLISH EMISSION CONTROL STANDARDS FOR NEW AND USED CARS. IT ALSO
REQUIRES AUTO OWNERS TO MAINTAIN POLLUTION CONTROL DEVICES ON THEIR

VEHICLES.
"GOVERNOR REAGAN HAS BEEN A STAUNCH DRIVER BEHIND THE FIGHT
AGAINST SMOG. MR. TUTTLE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T ASK THE GOVERNOR TO STALL
THE ANTI-POLLUTION PROGRAM. IT WASN'T STALLED.

"JESS'S ABILITY TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE WHILE SPINNING SO MANY
HALF-ST ORIES IS REMARKABLE.

OF TELLING THE PEOPLE ONLY HALF THE STORY WHENEVER POSSIBLE," BAGLEY
