We found, based on\nthis analysis, that the existing State Fair site cannot be success-\nfully sustained since it would be necessary to spend $8 to $12 million\nfor modernization, an expenditure which was considered impractical.\nIt is geographically and environmentally unsuited. It is too small.\nIt has inadequate facilities, poor highway network, and insufficient\nparking.\nAfter careful examination, re-examination, and evaluation of the facts\npertaining to capital costs, feasibility, operation potential of the\nnew California Exposition and Fair, legal opinions from the Attorney\nGeneral, Bond Counsel, and General Counsel, your committee has con-\ncluded that the State should proceed to construct the new California\nExposition and Fair. This conclusion is based on recognition of the\neconomic impact, prestige, educational value, and growth potential of\nthe new State Fair; the hopeful expectancy that the new State Fair\nwill be self supporting; and the fact that (1) 12% of the total cost\nof the new State Fair has already been spent, (2) bond redemption\npenalties would approximate $900,000, (3) bond-holders' suit may\notherwise occur, and (4) default on the bonds could impair California's\nfuture bond sales.\nIt is also the opinion of the committee that the estimated attendance\nfigures contained in the ERA study appear excessively high and that\nthe leasing or sale of the land at the new fair site may be prolonged.\nTo close this gap, the City and County should be encouraged to aggres-\nsively participate as joint users.\nStrict controls must be observed to insure success of this project;\nparticular attention must be given to management, design, and\nconstruction. The validity of design and the ability to construct\nwithin the current financial and planning framework are mandatory.\nThe Corporation staff must be organized to insure this objective.\nOur recommendations, based on the assumption that the 1968 State\nFair will be held on the new site, are that the California Exposition\nand Fair be constructed as follows (supporting dat, attached):\n1. That the development of the new California State Exposition\nand Fair proceed forward on a \"Pay-As-You-Go\" basis with funds on\nhand or positively available in open-ended increments.\n2. That the initial construction package contain the necessary\ningredients to better meet agricultural requirements. These facilities\ncould also be used for City, County, and other public purposes.\n3. That the concessionaires install, maintain, and operate the\nentertainment features. Thereby, the capital outlay funds not spent\nby the State on recreational facilities will be used for expansion\nof facilities for agricultural purposes, and the unused funds will\nremain available in the State Fair Fund.\nThe Honorable Ronald Reagan\nPage 2\nApril 1, 1967\n4. That the State Public Works Board authorize the State Treasurer\nto market the $6.5 million Series B\" Bonds to complete financing the\nthree security complexes which must be substantially completed, per\nbond resolution, by July 1, 1968, with a statement of modification to\ncover proposed program changes.\n5. That the Department of General Services be directed to take\nimmediate steps toward selling all land and property of the existing\nState Fair and expedite the leasing or sale of excess land of the new\nState Fair in order to obtain $13.5 million for completing the project.\n6. That because of time inherent in selling and leasing in order\nto complete the project, you may at some future date wish to request\nthe Legislature, subject to other pressing priorities and availability\nof funds, to approve a short-term loan not to exceed the estimated\nrevenue from the sales or leases which must be repaid as sales and\nleases are consummated.\n7. That in the event funds and loans are not available or forth-\ncoming which may force a delay in completion of the planned buildup,\nthe State should be prepared to support operating deficits starting in\n1968-69 Fiscal Year for the new State Fair in the approximate magni-\ntude ($825,000 for Fiscal Year 1967-68) as it has historically sup-\nported the present State Fair.\nEssentially, the committee's recommendations for this long-pending\nproject involve a modification and shoring up of the Master Plan of\nthe new Exposition and Fair in such a way that the design and con-\nstruction of each element will make the concept of self sufficiency\nmandatory. To achieve this objective will require an augmentation of\nthe agricultural facilities to correct program deficinecies; operation\nof the entertainment and recreational facilities by private business.\nconcessionaires; the stimulation of city and county joint usage of\nthe Exposition and Fair property to broaden the fair's economic base;\nthe voluntary use of the Exposition and Fair's facilities by district\nand county fairs; and the implementation of strict controls to assure\neconomic and provident expenditure of funds as they become available.\nRespectfully yours,\nAndrew R. Lolli, Chairman\nCommittee to Review the\nCalifornia Exposition\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, Califo\nia\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\n445-4571\n4.4.67\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan today issued the following\nstatement:\nI have two announcements to make today before we begin the\nquestioning. One has to do with the universities; the other with\nthe status of the State Fair.\nFirst I wish to announce that I will ask the legislature to\napprove a five percent raise for all teaching personnel at the Uni-\nversity of California this year. Total cost of the raise will be\nabout six and a half million dollars.\nWe are urging this increase because we recognize professional\nsalaries at the University must stay at or near parity with those\nof other universities recognized along with the University of Cali-\nfornia as being the outstanding major universities in the nation.\nWe are aware that this raise does not quite equal what many\nfeel the faculty members should receive, but I wish again to point\nout that this year there just isn't the money to do all we might\nlike to do.\nFunds for this raise are already in the budget as are funds for\na 4 percent raise for all state employees including non-teaching\nstaff at the University. That four percent raise will cost the state\nanother 23 and two-thirds million.\nIn addition, we are hopeful that money can be found to raise\nfaculty salaries at the University law schools an extra one percent\nto bring them more in line with the faculties of other major law\nschools. This will add a little more than a million dollars to\namounts we have already talked about.\nNow regarding the Fair. I have today approved a report of the\ncommittee to review the California Exposition. That report was drawn\nup after the committee received testimony from consultants, legal\ncounsel, community leaders, technical staff and concerned citizens\nregarding the future of the combined Exposition and Fair.\nThe committee, headed by Gen. Andrew Lolli, has recommended that\nthe state should proceed with construction of the fair site. I concur\nIn reaching their decision the committee has told me it expects\nthat the Fair will be self supporting.\nHopefully, we can now proceed at a pace that will allow us to\nhold the 1968 State Fair on the new site.\nThe committee has made a long list of recommendations which I\nwill not list in detail here although they will be made available to\nyou. But I do want to emphasize a couple of points. First, the\ncommittee has urged, and I concur, that initial construction include\nthe ingredients needed to meet agriculture requirements and second,\nthat development proceed on a pay-as-you-go basis.\nNow, ladies and gentlemen, I will take your questions.\nLN/150\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nPRESS\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\n445-4571\n4.5.67\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento--Albert C.

PRESS\nSacramento, California\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\n445-4571\n4.11.67\nPRESS\nFACT SHEET RE AARON MITCHELL\nThe following information is obtained from court records concern-\ning this case:\nAaron Mitchell, age 37, was convicted on May 23, 1963, in the\nSuperior Court for Sacramento County of first degree murder involving\nthe killing of a police officer during a robbery. Following a penalty\ntrial, the jury returned a verdict of the death penalty on May 31, 1963.\nThe conviction was affirmed by the California Supreme Court in June\n1964, but the sentence was reversed and a new penalty trial was held.\nOn September 18, 1964, a jury again returned a verdict calling for the\nimposition of the death penalty. This sentence was unanimously affirmed\nby the California Supreme Court on January 4, 1966. The Judge of the\nSacramento Superior Court has presently set April 12, 1967, as the date\nof execution. In 1966 Mitchell applied to Governor Brown for executive\nclemency which request was denied.\nThe court records indicate the following facts: On February 15,\n1963, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Mitchell parked his automobile two\nblocks away from the Stadium Club, located at 2300 Sutterville Road,\nSacramento. He was wearing an extra set of dark clothing over his\nregular clothes and also was wearing a long overcoat, a navy knit cap\nand was carrying a .12 gauge shotgun on a sling around his neck. He\nproceeded to the Stadium Club and looked in a rear window. An employee\nof the restaurant came out the rear door of the restaurant, whereupon\nMitchell seized him as a hostage, and entered the rear of the club,\ngoing through the kitchen into the bar. He then herded several employees\nand the owner of the club into the bar, where he ordered them to empty\nthe cash register. Upon obtaining approximately $321 in cash, Mitchell\nran to the front door with the money. Meanwhile another employee who\nhad observed what was happening called the police and when Mitchell\nreached the front door Sacramento police officers had already responded.\nMitchell then ran into the kitchen where he met another police officer,\nwhom he disarmed at gun point. With the officer's 38 caliber revolver\nand the shotgun, Mitchell used the police officer as a hostage and\nattempted to escape through the back door of the club. Police officers\nordered Mitchell to throw down his guns, whereupon Mitchell fired and\nin the ensuing gun battle Mitchell shot and killed one of the police\nofficers. The officer used as a hostage was wounded by a police bullet\nduring the exchange of gun fire. Mitchell then fled across a nearby\nfield where he was ultimately captured by police.\nMitchell himself was wounded in the gun battle and was kept in the\nhospital under guard. During this time he assaulted the deputy sheriff\nguarding him with a metal pan.\nPrior to this offense Mitchell had a history of criminal activity\ndating back to age 17. In 1946 he was convicted of auto theft and was\nsentenced to state prison in Missouri. At age 19 he stole another car\nin Tennessee and was sentenced to state prison there. In 1954 he was\nconvicted of assault with intent to commit larceny in Colorado, follow-\ning the attempted armed robbery of a country club in Denver. Because\nof his prior felony convictions, it would be necessary to secure\nSupreme Court approval before executive clemency could be granted by\nthe governor.\n# # #\nLN/179\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\n445-4571\n4.11.67\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan has submitted a proposal to\nresolve the current controversy over the method of financing the\nsewerage export facilities at Lake Tahoe without encumbering the\nGeneral Fund.\nReagan said he wished \"to assure all those persons expressing\nconcern over the initial proposal to delay the commitment of gene-\nral fund monies to the construction of export facilities at North\nTahoe that such a procedure would have not delayed the project. All\nprior agreement and schedules involving state participation would\nhave been and will be honored.\n\"However,\" he said, \"to accomplish the project as originally\naccepted, I am proposing that the $2 million for North Tahoe and\nthe $1.8 million for South Tahoe sewerage export facilities be\nfunded entirely from the revenues accruing to the State from its\nshare of royalty income from the production of oil and gas. In\norder to meet the planned construction program in South Tahoe, the\nGeneral Fund will advance the necessary funds on a temporary basis.\n\"In the emergency involving saving the unique qualities of\nLake Tahoe from sewerage it seems most appropriate to utilize in-\ncome from one natural resource to save another.\"\nGov. Reagan explained that the original procedure proposed\nwould have disencumbered General Fund monies for application to\ncurrent needs until such point in time when those funds would have\nbeen needed for this joint State-local project. He emphasized that\nthe total available for the North Tahoe Project from local bonding\nand state funds as well as the contract scheduling \"would not have\nbeen altered one iota.\"\n\"There has been some concern expressed\", said Reagan, \"that the\nlocal bond issue had been presented to its electorate with a com-\nmitment that both state and bond funds would be spent concurrently\nto keep to a minimum the interest on bonds, so that the tax base\nwould not be unduly affected. It is my desire to interject the\nstate's participation in a manner to aid the North Shore property\nowners in this respect. Consequently, I have proposed this method\nof financing the facilities from oil royalties to accomplish that\nobjective while continuing m commitment to save wherever possible\nthe drain on the General Fund.\"\nLN/180\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\n445-4571\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today that PRESS he will not intervene\n4.11.67\nin the scheduled execution of Aaron Mitchell, sentenced by a Superior\nCourt in Sacramento after being convicted of first degree murder of\na police officer during a robbery here in February, 1963.\nGovernor Reagan said that after a careful review and consideration\nof all of the facts of the case, he found no basis on which to justify\nexecutive clemency.\nThe execution date of Wednesday, April 12, was set by a Sacramento\nSuperior Court judge after the death sentence imposed by a jury was\nunanimously affirmed by the California Supreme Court. A previous\npenalty trial had also resulted in the death sentence by a different\njury. During its lengthy legal history, Mitchell's case has been\nconsidered twice by the California Supreme Court, twice by the Federal\nDistrict Court, by the Federal Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,\nand twice by the United States Supreme Court. The courts in each case\nhave upheld the legality of the trials.\nA clemency hearing was held by the Governor's Office on Monday,\nApril 10, 1967.\nMitchell, now 37, was convicted on May 23, 1963, of killing Police\nOfficer Arnold Gamble in an attempt to escape after a robbery at the\nStadium Club in Sacramento. Testimony at the trial revealed that\nMitchell armed himself with a sawed off shotgun, entered the club and,\nusing an employee as a hostage, obtained approximately $321 in cash.\nWhen the employees and customers did not move fast enough to suit him,\nhe fired a shotgun blast into the ceiling to threaten them.\nAs Mitchell attempted to leave the club he ran into police officers\nwho were responding to a telephone call from an employee in another part\nof the club. Mitchell disarmed one of the policemen and, carrying the\nofficer's .38 caliber revolver, used him as a hostage in attempting to\nescape. Confronted by other officers, Mitchell fired several shots, one\nof which struck and killed Officer Gamble. Mitchell fled and was later\napprehended nearby.\nMitchell had previously been convicted of three felonies, includ-\ning auto theft and assault with intent to commit robbery. He was on\nbail, charged with another robbery in Sacramento, when he committed the\nrobbery that culminated in the murder of the policeman. During his\nvarious periods in custody, Mitchell exhibited a pattern of dangerous\nbehavior, including escape, possession of a deadly weapon in prison,\nand assault on a guard.\n########\nLN/181\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\nSS\n445-4571\n4.11.67\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento--Gov.
