S. Department of Labor.\nHe called the action\"an inspiring example of how labor and\nmanagement, working in cooperation with government, can open the\ndoorway to opportunity for young people who might not otherwise have\na chance to become useful and productive citizens.\"\nThe governor also urged members of minority communities to\nwork with sponsors of local apprenticeship programs to insure the\nsuccess of the plan.\nAdopted by the California Apprenticeship Council at a meeting\nJuly 30 in Long Beach, the plan--one of the first of its type in the\nnation--incorporates federal regulations into California's code to\nincrease the numbers of minority youth in state approved apprenticeship\nprograms.\nUnder the plan, minority youths, who represent 20 percent of\nCalifornia's 28,000 apprentices, will be significantly increased. It\nwas signed for the Department of Labor by Paul J. Fassler, Jr., deputy\nassistant secretary for Manpower.\nJames C. Stratten, secretary of the California Apprenticeship\nCouncil and chief of the state's Division of Apprenticeship Standards,\nsaid that apprenticeship program sponsors throughout the state will\nnow adapt their own plans to conform to the new regulations.\n\"These will include affirmative action in recruitment and\nselection of apprentices and the adoption of goals and time tables\nwhere necessary to bring the number of minority apprentices in a given\ncraft and labor market area up to their proper ratio,\" Stratten said.\nThere are 728 apprenticeship committees functioning throughout\nthe state.\n######\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Bec\n445-4571\n9-3-71\n#512\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today hailed a decision by the federal\ngovernment granting California's determined request to become the first\nstate in the nation to require assembly-line testing of smog control\nsystems on every new car sold in California after January 30, 1973.\n\"We have fought hard for this decision for months,\" the governor\nsaid. \"The waiver,\" finally granted by the Federal Environmental\nProtection Agency, \"puts California even further out in the lead---far\nahead of any other state or nation---in the battle against smog,\" he said.\n\"The assembly-line test requirement, which I proposed to the\nlegislature last year and later signed into California law, will give\nus yet another tough enforcement tool---not possible under present random\nsampling\ntechniques\nto crack down even harder on automobile-produced\nsmog.\n\"We intend to continue to push ahead in our efforts to win the fight\nagainst air pollution. This latest victory will further strengthen\nCalifornia's tougher-than-ever controls on smog and reaffirms this\nadministration's continuing commitment to an all-out war against the\ndebauching of our environment,\" the governor said.\nHe was joined by Dr. A. J. Haagen-Smit, chairman of the California\nAir Resources Board, who also was pleased that the waiver was granted.\nHaagen-Smit said, \"We know of no better method for overcoming some\nof the problems resulting from existing procedures than to evaluate and\napprove emission control systems on automobiles. The assembly-line\nrequirement for every new car will help us deal more effectively with the\nproblem of cars which exceed California's strict standards.\"\nHe said Air Resources Board studies have shown that exhaust emissions\nfrom many cars at manufacturers' assembly plants and newer cars in private\nuse, have exceeded allowable emission standards. In some cases, as many\nas 40 percent of the cars failed to meet the official standards, when\ntested recently at assembly plants.\nCalifornia's new law also stipulates that any manufacturer who sells\na car which exceeds state emission control standards is subject to a $5,000\nfine. Without the assembly-line test, it would be extremely difficult\nfor us to enforce this penalty, he said.\nAssembly-line testing also affords needed improvement in quality\ncontrol at the assembly plants, and establishes a sound basis for a\nvehicle emissions inspection program should it be required later, Haagen-\nSmit added. He pointed out that the test procedures were adopted by\nthe ARB after many meetings with the auto industry and after public\nhearings.\n####\nEJG\nVE ITID GOVERNOR\nTHE OJ.

Many of these incidents appear to\nresult from the unlawful designs to self-proclaimed, revolutionary\nforces operating both within and without prison walls. Many of these\nincidents also result from the fact that our correctional institutions\ncontain a greater percentage of violent offenders than ever before.\n\"WHEREAS, these forces constitute a real and present threat to an\norderly correctional system, as they do to society at large. They\nseriously impede, if not altogether prevent, any reasonable efforts at\nrehabilitating those inmates who are capable of it, as it becomes\nnecessary to reduce inmate activities and contacts with correctional\npersonnel. They constitute a significant threat to the life and safety\nof correctional personnel far beyond the potential danger to which such\npersonnel have always been subjected in the past.\n- 1 -\n#515\n\"WHEREAS, there have been well publicized attempts to distort the\nfacts of the recent San Quentin escape attempt and the killings\nperpetrated in the course of that attempt. The public is entitled to\nknow the truth; our correctional officers and their families are entitled\nto personal safety. Accordingly, it is vital that the Board of\nCorrections, as the official body charged, make a thorough analysis of\nsecurity procedures in our prisons and make recommendations to me and to\nthe people of the State of California aimed at reinforcing the safety and\nprotecting the lives of both inmates and correctional officers.\n\"NOW THEREFORE, I, Ronald Reagan, Governor of the State of California,\nby virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the Constitution\nand laws of this state direct the Board of Corrections to review the\nAugust 21 escape attempt at San Quentin and other incidents of violence\nwhich have occurred within the last two years at San Quentin, Soledad,\nFolsom and other correctional institutions in the State of California;\nand to make recommendations regarding correctional officer safety,\nunnecessary exposure of correctional officers to danger, inmate security,\ninmate handling procedures, communications with prisoners, including\npersonal visits, and any other procedures which will halt the violence\nand the attempts by radical elements and violent offenders to disrupt\nthe orderly processes of our correctional system. \"\n#####\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nMEMO TO THE PR\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-9-71\nGovernor Ronald Reagan will meet Jimmy Lewis, age 9, State\nPoster Child of the National Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation at\n1:30 p.m. today in the Governor's Office.\nPhoto coverage is invited.\n#####\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE\nRESS\nSacramento, Califor 1\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-10-71\n#516\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nSeptember 13, 1971\nthrough\nSeptember 19, 1971\nMonday, September 13\nNational Governors' Conference\nOvernight - Puerto Rico\nTuesday, September 14\nReturn to Sacramento\nOvernight - Sacramento\nWednesday, September 15\nOffice appointments\nOvernight - Sacramento\nThursday, September 16\nOffice appointments\nOvernight - Sacramento\nFriday, September 17\nA.M.\nRegents Meeting, San Francisco\nEvening\nFundraising dinner for Senator Schrade,\nTown and Country Convention Center, San Diego\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nSaturday, September 18\nNo public appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nSunday, September 19\nReturn to Sacramento\nOvernight - Sacramento\n######\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE: Immec te\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-13-71\n#517\nActing Governor Ed Reinecke today announced the appointment\nof Salinas Municipal Judge Edmund J.

Permanent, guaranteed homeowner tax relief.\n2. Tax relief for senior citizens.\n3. Inventory relief to preserve and improve the state's economy.\n4. Relief for renters.\nHere are some of the highlights of the compromise program\nproposed by Republicans. It would provide:\n1. Homeowner tax reductions ranging from 100 percent cut in\nproperty taxes on less expensive homes to a minimum of a 20 percent\nreduction for more expensive homes. Half of all the homeowners in\nCalifornia would be quaranteed a 40 percent or more property tax\nreduction. (Total direct tax relief, first year--nearly $500 million).\n2. -Additional homeowner tax relief for senior citizens, many\nof whom are forced to live on fixed incomes. The relief would be increased\nto include senior citizens with incomes up to $5000 and lower the age\nfor becoming eligible to 62. (Total direct relief, beginning 1972-73--\n$9 million).\n3.--Business inventory tax reductions to be increased to a\n40 percent exemption next year and thereafter, with full reimbursement to\nthe counties for any losses. (Total relief next year--$138 million).\n-1-\n#521\n4.--Improving the environment by providing reimbursement to\nthe counties and other local agencies by the state for land placed under\nthe open space provisions of the Williamson Land Conservation Act. This\nreimbursement, which is designed to compensate for the loss of local\nproperty tax revenues due to open space contracts, would be provided at\nthe rate of $1.50 per acre for prime land and 50 cents per acre for non-\nprime land. (Total direct relief--$12 million).\nTo finance the entire program, the state sales tax would be\nincreased by one cent. Bank and corporation taxes would be increased\nfrom 7 percent to 7½ percent.\nPersonal income taxes would be brought into conformity with\nchanges made at the federal level in 1969 and 1970, including:\n--Imposition of a minimum income tax on wealthy individuals.\n--Lowering of the oil depletion allowance to the same level as\nthe federal allowance.\nThe tax rate on the top brackets of personal income would be\nincreased from the present maximum of 10 percent to 12 percent.\nTaxes on cigarettes would be increased from 10 cents to 15 cents\na pack and on liquor from $2.00 to $2.50 a gallon.\nGovernor Reagan acknowledged that there will no doubt be some\nchanges in the program.\nBut he repeatedly emphasized his determination to try to hold\ntax increases to the absolute minimum required to balance the budget, and\nto limit reforms to those which would produce meaningful and permanent\nproperty tax relief without massive individual or corporate tax increases.\nHe expressed his confidence that, within these parameters, a\nreform package can be hammered out within the next few days.\nEXAMPLES OF THE TAX RELIEF PROPOSALS:\nHomeowner Tax Relief\nHomes with a market value of $15,000, for example, would\nexperience a 55 percent reduction in property taxes. At $25,000 market\nvalue, the reduction would be 34 percent. Homes valued at $10,000 would\nexperience a 70 percent tax reduction, and at $4,300 or less market value\nall property taxes would be paid by the state.\nSenior Citizens Property Tax Relief\nSenior citizens property tax relief, which currently is limited\nto 15 percent on a $3,500 annual income, will be increased to include\nsenior citizens with incomes of up to $5,000. Property tax relief would\nbe 100 percent for those with incomes of $1,500 or less, 55 percent for\nincomes of $3,000 and 25 percent for incomes of $4,000.\n####\nDD\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE: Imme ate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-17-71\n#522\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of\nLa Mesa City Manager Charles T.

This plan, together with\nits Environmental Constraints Map and an accompanying Land Use Ordinance,\nwill form the base for continued balanced decision making. Although I\nunderstand it is less restrictive than an earlier plan submitted by the\nAgency staff, it nevertheless should serve as an excellent guideline\nbeyond which development should not be permitted to go.\nI understand that this plan as approved by the Advisory Planning\nCommission does an excellent job of balancing the rights of property\nowners with the rights of the general public, which the statutes of\nNevada, California, and the Congress require the bistate agency to\nprotect. The plan clearly recognizes the need for public acquisition\nof key areas, and urges an action program within the next 12 months.\nAny delay in adopting the regional plan would, in my opinion, be a\nrejection of many years' work on the part of scores of agency employees,\nlocal, state and federal government, and the many private citizens who\ngave SO generously of their time in order to assure that the superb\nenvironmental qualities of the Lake and the Tahoe Basin are maintained.\nI am requesting that my appointees who serve on the TRPA vote at\ntoday's hearing, as required by federal law, to adopt a (the) plan,\nconsisting of: 1) The Plan; 2) The Subcommittee (APC) Land Capability\nMap, and 3) The concept of the Land Development Ordinance (Draft #3).\n#\n#\n#\n#\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Califor a\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-23-71\n#529\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the signing of\nan agreement with San Diego County to streamline services to able-bodied\nwelfare recipients and speed their return to work.\nThe program is similar to one now successfully operating\nin Ventura County, the governor said, and involves concentrated job\ndevelopment services to employable or potentially employable welfare\nrecipients.\nUnder the agreement, the state Department of Human\nResources Development will direct the project. County welfare caseworker\nwill join HRD staff in a joint team, under HRD's supervision, to deliver\njob development services to all male heads of households who receive aid\nfor dependent children (AFDC).\nAttending the contract-signing ceremony today in San\nDiego were Sigurd I. Hansen, director, Department of Human Resources\nDevelopment; Robert B. Carleson, director, Department of Social Welfare;\nWilliam Craven, chairman, San Diego County Board of Supervisors; and\nHomer Detrich, director of San Diego Welfare Department.\nGovernor Reagan said the first project of this kind, in\nVentura County, began in late June and in less than three months had\nmoved 67 welfare recipients into jobs, resulting in a projected annual\nsavings in welfare payments totaling $225,120.\nThe 'employables' project is part of Governor Reagan's\nwelfare reform program. Another facet of the reform is the community\nwork experience program which requires able-bodied welfare recipients to\nserve their community as a reasonable condition of receiving welfare\npayments.\n\"Both of these concepts developed from the belief that\nan employable person who receives public assistance should be expected\nto participate in job-training and job-finding programs or in public\nservice work for the good of his community,\" the governor said.\nUnder the agreement between San Diego county and the\nstate, HRD is responsible for providing social and employment services\nto employable welfare recipients.\nTraining of welfare department staff will get under way\nOctober 4, and will last a week. An initial caseload of 800 welfare\nrecipients will be transferred to HRD on October 11, he said, and all new\nwelfare applicants who are potentially employable will be referred to HRD.\nSimilar programs are now being considered by other\ncounties, each of which, basically, has the same concept of a joint\ncounty-state team working together to promote job opportunities for\nemployable welfare recipients.\n####\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Californ\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-24-71\n#530\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills\nhave been signed:\nAB 1010 - Cullen\nPermits the governor, upon determination that it is\n(Chapter 763)\nin the best interest of the state, to authorize the\nestablished 40-hour work week of most state employees\nbe worked in four days.\nAB 1333 - Barnes\nProvides that the amount of reduction upon retirement\n(Chapter 742)\nprior to normal retirement age and upon election of an\noptional retirement allowance shall be based upon\nmortality tables and the actuarial interest rate\nin effect under the Public Employees' Retirement\nSystem on December 1, 1970.\nAB 1485 - Greene, B.
