RELEASE: PRESS
Following is a statement by Governor Ronald Reagan regarding
the death of A. C. "Cy" Rubel, retired president of Union Oil:
"I am saddened indeed at the death of Cy Rubel. He was a
close personal friend and a man whose advice I have relied on
heavily.
"Cy was one of those responsible for my seeking this office
and has been a loyal supporter and confidant in the period since.
"After the campaign he continued to serve our cause as head
of our 'major appointments task force' that was responsible for
finding top-flight executives to fill major state jobs. The work
he did was invaluable to this administration.
"I will miss him both as a friend and an advisor. And I know
the state is poorer because of his passing. "

RELEASE: PRESS Immediate
Governor Ronald Reagan today expressed deep concern over the
announcement by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara that
California's two Army National Guard divisions will be eliminated.
McNamara announced in Washington that the 40th Armored Division
in Southern California and the 49th Infantry Division in Northern
California will be eliminated and replaced with three brigades two
infantry brigades and one armored brigade.
The elimination of the two divisions, if McNamara's announce-
ment is carried out, will result in a reduction in California's Army
National Guard strength from 22,332 men to 21,958 men.
"We have had no chance to examine the so-called reorganization,"
Governor Reagan said of McNamara's plan.
"Until we in California are convinced that the guard's proper
strength will be maintained, I intend to withhold my approval. We
are going to take a close and hard look at the plan and I have
instructed Maj. Gen. Ames to immediately start studying all the
ramifications involved," the governor said.
Ames, the state's adjutant general who currently is attending
a meeting of all the adjutants general of the United States in
Indianapolis, will confer with senior Army National Guard field
commanders upon his return and then make recommendations to the
governor.
The governor said, however, that an initial study of the
proposal indicates that because of California's size and its strategic
location, serious questions are immediately raised as to the impact of
McNamara's action.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan said today that complaints con-
cerning the treatment of patients at one of the state's hospitals have
been investigated and have been found to be untrue.
The governor ordered the immediate investigation Tuesday following
questions asked at his press conference about the care of patients at
Sonoma State Hospital.
"I have been advised by Health and Welfare Secretary Spencer Wil-
liams that the patients at Sonoma State Hospital are being given excel-
lent care," Reagan said.
"It is unfortunate that some persons have sought to give a false
impression of the care and treatment of patients at state hospitals,"
the governor said. "Irresponsible charges such as these do a disser-
vice to the very cause they say they are seeking to support."
The governor was asked at his press conference about an allegation
that retarded children were going two days without having their diapers
changed at Sonoma State.
He said Dr. Joseph E. O'Neil, superintendent at the hospital,
informed Williams that "This has never been true. Every bed patient
is changed at least once per shift--or three times a day. Frequently,
patients are changed more often as the need occurs."
Another allegation made was that patients had gone five days
without being bathed.
"Dr. O'Neil informed Williams that patients are usually bathed
three times a week during the summer months and twice a week during the
winter months. Baths are always given where accidents or other events
require individual attention."
The governor said he was informed that there was a very brief
period earlier this year when patients in some wards at Sonoma were
bathed only once a week because of a temporary staff problem that had
nothing to do with current cutbacks."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT BY SPENCER WILLIAMS
FACTS CONCERNING STAFF REDUCTIONS IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HYGIENE
The time has come when the Administration can no longer remain
silent in the face of continued distortions of the truth concerning
proposed staff reductions in hospitals for the mentally ill. Too many
innocent well-meaning people are being misled and have been swept up
in the emotionalism which has clouded the issue. Too many patients
and families of patients are being cruelly exploited by the barrage
of misinformation to which they are being subjected.
I can understand why employee groups would resist any programs
that propose elimination of positions occupied by the members regard-
less of whether the state requires the continuation of these positions.
This is the obligation of their leadership as they see it, although
their expenditure of substantial sums of money on this project might
be questioned by the bulk of their membership. This Administration
does not believe that the state employees have any guarantee to the
continuation of any specific job. State employees work for the peo-
ple of this state and as the people's needs change so should programs
change and be revised. It is with the purpose of setting the record
straight that I have prepared the following statement of facts:
Hospitals for the Mentally Ill
Since 1960 the hospitals for the mentally ill have experienced a
dramatic reduction in patient population (from 36,207 to 23,867) and
at the same time have enjoyed an increase in staff (from 8,790.5 to
9,600.0) (see chart attached) This feat was accomplished with staff
to patient ratio less than will prevail in the hospitals this year,
next year, and in the years after that. It is anticipated that the
patient population for the coming fiscal year will be decreased (5,667)
Accordingly, in order to maintain the same level of services (as
contrasted with the proposed enrichment of services that maintenance
of current staff would cause) it was determined to effect staff
reductions to parallel anticipated patient reductions (see attached
chart).
-2-
It is the avowed purpose and firm resolve of the Administration
to maintain the same level of services received by each individual
patient in our hospitals for the mentally ill that existed on the
first of the fiscal year 1966-67. In order to assure this, the
Governor has instructed Dr. Lowry, Director of the Department of
Mental Hygiene, to carry out a continuing and careful surveillance of
this level of care. Dr. Lowry has been further advised that staff
and budget augmentation as may be necessary to maintain these levels
would be approved in the event patient projection population decreases
do not materialize. The following are answers to two typical ques-
tions surrounding the Administration's proposals:
1. Are our current staff standards and levels of care "adequate"?
Answer: Many professionals and most of the staff affected
allege that they are not. There are some who would not be satisfied
until each patient has a private room and around-the-clock individual
nursing care. Few will deny, however, that current staff levels and
the projected staff levels are better than they were last year and
the year before and the year before that. Furthermore, there is no
dispute that the staffing levels in California are better than any
of the other major states in our nation. We provide good care for our
patients. The proof of this is the fact that we have been able to
accomplish the dramatic reductions in our patient population with
these ratios. While there is no doubt that the ratios could be im-
proved as desired by the employees, to do so would be to enrich this
program at the expense of many other programs, such as aid to the
blind, crippled children, disabled, etc., whose supporters also
desire enrichment.
2. Is the state taking a backward step in its treatment of the
mentally ill?
Answer: No. The state now pays 75% of the financing of
local mental health programs. This year the state has increased its
contribution to these programs by $4.5 million in order that all local
(Short-Doyle) programs may be maintained at levels achieved as of the
last day of this fiscal year. In addition, the state is supporting
several bills which would improve financing of these programs.
MORE
-3-
Furthermore, the Governor has issued a policy statement of his
long-range plans for the treatment of the mentally ill in California.
This proposed program has been hailed by all knowledgeable people in
the field as the most advanced method for solving this severe problem.
In essence, the program calls for an improvement of the scope and
effectiveness of local programs (with appropriate state financial
support) so that those afflicted with mental illness may be kept
in the local community, treated locally, kept close to their friends
and families rather than being "sent away" to remote state institu-
tions. It is hoped that state institutions will ultimately beare-
duced to a backup resource to handle only the most severe cases for
local communities. It has been conclusively shown that this advanced
approach shall enable those afflicted to remain close to their friends
and families, guarantee their more rapid return to home, family and
gainful employment. This program offers the most effective way of
treating the mentally ill and also will result in substantial savings
to the taxpayers of California.
Hospitals for the Mentally Retarded
There are to be no reductions in treatment personnel in the
hospitals for the mentally retarded. Of the total proposed budget
of $51,458,621 the $1,032,310 reduction (2 percent) will be achieved
through savings in the business and support areas, not in treatment
personnel. In fact, the Department is carefully watching cuts in
these areas to be sure that ward personnel do not find it necessary
to neglect their treatment duties in order to carry out routine
maintenance chores. The reason there are no proposed reductions in
treatment personnel is that there have been no patient population
reductions as occurred in the hospitals for the mentally ill. These
facilities have a constant patient load and require maintenance of
current treatment staff. In addition, it is the Administration's
plan to increase the amounts the State will pay for placement of the
mentally retarded in home care situations so that more patients can
be moved out of hospital facilities, making room for those on the
waiting lists.
MORE
-4-
In General
The Administration has received numerous reports from staff
members which indicate that some of the small but vocal minority
who oppose staff reductions are already planning ways to sabotage
patient care in order to create "I told you so" statistics for next
year's consumption. While it is difficult to believe that any human
being could be so despicable, careful surveillance will be maintained
to assure that this is not permitted to occur, but if it does those
involved will be immediately dismissed, and all appropriate action
possible will be taken against such people.

Gov. Ronald Reagan today was presented with the National
Commander's Special Achievement Certificate by the American
Veterans of World War II (AMVETS) The award by National Commander
A. Leo Anderson was presented in recognition of Governor Reagan's
contribution to the Viet Nam war effort.
The Governor issued an Executive Order April 10 guaranteeing
the job status of Civil Service employees who volunteer to man
Merchant Marine ships and bolster the delivery of supplies and
equipment to U.S. fighting men in Viet Nam.
Governor Reagan issued the Executive Order in response to
an urgent need of the maritime industry. Many ships traveling to
Southeast Asia have been delayed in their schedules because of the
lack of necessary Merchant Marine personnel.
During 1966 it was estimated that ships leaving from the
West Coast were delayed for a total of 440 days.
Governor Reagan's Executive Order authorized California
state employees to return to sea duty while retaining full return
rights and Civil Service status in their current employment position.
The Governor also urged local governmental units to permit
their employees to take similar leave.
AMVETS State Commander G. W. (Bill) Stewart, accompanied
by State Director of Veterans Affairs, James E. Johnson, made
the presentation to Governor Reagan on behalf of the national
organization.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he will sign
a
bill liberalizing California's abortion laws, but emphasized that the
measure passed by the Legislature falls short of meeting some of his
requirements.
"I am fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated
abortion law now on the law books of California," the governor said in
announcing his decision.
"I am confident that the people of California recognize that
need and will support the humanitarian goals of the measure as passed
by the Assembly and Senate of the State Legislature.
"However, I must be frank and concede that the legislation that
will come before me for signature is by no means perfect. There are
several areas of concern to me and to many others in California,
including members of the Legislature.
"Therefore, I intend to watch very closely the implementation
and results of this new legislation and keep a continuing check on how
it affects the citizens of this state. And I cannot emphasize too
strongly that if any feature of the measure fails to carry out the
intent of the Legislature, I will ask for corrective amendments to the
law.
"Because of my belief that a liberalization of the abortion laws
is necessary, I will sign the bill even though it does not meet each
and every objection that I and others in California have to it," the
governor said.
Of particular concern to the governor was the lack of a residency
clause in the bill.
"We must be extremely careful to assure that this legislation
does not result in making California a haven for those who would come
to this state solely for the purpose of taking advantage of California's
new law," he said.
The governor also said care must be taken to make sure that
hospitals are not created for the main purpose of performing abortions.
He reaffirmed his statement made earlier in the day at his
weekly press conference that had these requirements been amended into
the bill, the legislation would have been improved.

FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS
Sacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan announced today that he had
signed Assembly Bill 490 which makes willful discrimination in
recruitment or apprenticeship programs on the basis of race, sex,
creed, color or national origin a misdemeanor.
The governor said he signed the bill because the measure, by
Assemblyman Leon Ralph (D-Los Angeles) helps guarantee equal oppor-
tunity in the apprenticeship program on the basis of race, creed,
color or national origin.
However, the governor said the section relating to sex con-
cerned him because it presumably will raise problems in the
apprenticeship program.
Gov. Reagan said that if these problems cannot be resolved by
executive action he will seek legislative revision as soon as
possible.
The bill provides that anyone who willfully discriminates
on the basis of race, sex, creed, color or national origin is
guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than
$1,000 or imprisonment for not more than six months, or both.

RELEASE: PRESS ruesday, June 20
Governor Ronald Reagan declared the flood emergency which has
been in effect on the San Joaquin River system since May 2 ended today.
The governor praised state, local and federal agencies for their
coordinated effort to minimize local flood damage during the snowmelt
danger weeks an effort which successfully averted major flooding.
"This is a fine example of how government, working with private
interests, can solve problems affecting all of us," the governor said.
Governor Reagan also paid tribute to operators at reservoirs
tributary to Tulare Lake, and said creative operation of the waters in
the basin has saved about $1.3 million in crops in the fertile lakebed.
"The careful control of water releases from reservoirs throughout
the San Joaquin Valley brought remarkable results in preventing
disastrous flooding of agricultural areas," Governor Reagan said.
He noted that the degree of coordination between state, local and
federal agencies was stepped up following a meeting in his office last
April with representatives of those governmental agencies concerned.
He praised the State Department of Water Resources, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, the federal Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S.
Weather Bureau for implementing the coordinated efforts.
He also congratulated local reclamation and irrigation districts,
private utilities and individual farmers in the area for the part they
played in preventing a major flood.
Forecasts in early May indicated that 24,000 of approximately
50,000 acres in the Tulare Lake basin would be flooded by the volume
of snowmelt expected to course into the valley from a record pack in
the southern Sierra range.
"Only 12,000 acres have actually been flooded," said William R.
Gianelli, director of the State Department of Water Resources."
"The crops on an additional 12,000 acres valued at $1.3 million
seem to be safe, and there is no threat at all to the remaining 26,000
acres of prime farm land. Early in May, we feared that even this large
acreage would be inundated," Gianelli said.
The governor complimented farmers in the Tulare Lake basin, saying
"they have done an excellent job of strengthening their dikes and of
managing the water they have received. They have turned the potential
of disaster into a pool of valuable water for use during the summer
months."
-1-
Credit for savin> crops also goes to the U.S Army Corps of
Engineers, which placed barriers across the spillways of two dams
overlooking the valley, holding back millions of gallons of water
which would have otherwise inundated this acreage.
The Corps was aided by cool weather during the past month which
delayed much of the snowmelt until the summer months when irrigation
demands will use it up.
"But it was the willingness to work closely with the farmers of
the Tulare Lake basin and the creative construction of spillway
barriers which paid off for this segment of the economy of California's
agriculture," the governor said.
Gianelli pointed out that a large portion of the San Joaquin River
flow was carried for the first time through the lower San Joaquin Valley
Flood Control System bypasses.
Built by the State Department of Water Resources for the State
Reclamation Board, portions of the bypass were not yet complete when
the snowmelt flows began.
Operations of those portions already turned over to a local
reclamation district were supervised by the State Department of Water
Resources. The department fully operated segments of the system not
yet turned over to a local agency.
"This bypass system proved its value this year," Gianelli said.
"Even though its banks were freshly mounded and compacted, the system
carried its full share of the surplus snowmelt.
"While I am most pleased with the results of our coordinated efforts
to prevent a major flood, nonetheless I am aware that there was seepage
damage to farmland along the San Joaquin River system. Losses cannot
yet be estimated," Gianelli said.
Coordination of flood-fighting efforts was accomplished through
the federal-state flood operations center, a joint responsibility of
the State Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Weather Bureau.

STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN ON AB 1082 REGARDING NIGHT
RACING AND OTHER CHANGES IN CALIFORNIA RACING LAWS:
"I have not changed in my personal distaste for night racing.
I was opposed in the past to night harness racing when it was
proposed, and have often stated that if the people decided to
approve night running then it should apply to all racing.
"The present bill is basically a good bill and long overdue.
I wish it didn't contain the night racing feature, but the bill
itself is too good to be ruled out because of this one feature."

Governor Ronald Reagan today awarded the Medal of Valor, with
diamond, the highest award for bravery that can be given to a state
employee, to Paul V. Johnson, a Los Angeles employee of the Division
of Highways.
Johnson was honored by Governor Reagan for his heroic attempts on
February 27 to rescue a 12-year-old boy who had fallen down a 1,000
foot cliff in Pine Hollow Picnic Ground in Los Angeles County.
In attempting to descend the cliff to reach the boy, Johnson, who
was recommended for the Medal of Valor by the State Merit Award Board,
fell about 40 feet and sustained major injuries including 10 fractured
ribs, a punctured lung, and a fractured right wrist.
Despite his injuries, Johnson did not hesitate to continue his
descent another 400-500 feet to where the unconscious boy was lying.
A rescue team from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department
arrived down the slope about thirty minutes after Johnson and deter-
mined that the young boy had suffered fatal injuries in the fall.
"Even though his attempt to save the boy's life was unsuccessful,"
Governor Reagan said, "Mr. Johnson's heroic act was far above and
beyond the call of duty and knowingly performed at great risk to his
personal safety and life."
Johnson, a maintenance man with the Division of Highways, returned
to duty only last week, after recuperating from his injuries.
The Medal of Valor winner was born in Alexandria, Minnesota, in
1922, and raised in San Leandro, California where he was graduated from
San Leandro High School. He joined the Division of Highways in
San Francisco as an equipment operator in 1958 and was transferred to
the Los Angeles area four years later.
A veteran of four years service with the U.S. Marines, Johnson
presently is serving as Ninth District Commander of AMVETS.
He resides with his wife and four children at 638 Mountain View,
Wrightwood, California.

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the PRESS* following
6.20.67
"I am very pleased to announce today one of the first contri-
butions of our task force of businessmen-citizens who are looking into
all areas of state government for ways to improve efficiency and save
the taxpayers money.
"What they have done in just one small area of our state
government will result in immediate savings of more than $4 million.
"After a thorough study of needs for office space, the survey
team has come to the conclusion that a 10-story office building
cancellation
proposed for the California Highway Patrol in Sacramento is not
necessary now or in the foreseeable future.
"It is a recommendation that I heartily concur in and I have
therefore ordered the proposed building be eliminated from the
state's master plan for Sacramento.
"Gordon Luce, secretary of Business and Transportation; Harold
Sullivan, commissioner of the Highway Patrol; Verne Orr, director of
the Department of Motor Vehicles; and Andrew Lolli, director of the
Department of General Services, all agree. They, too, join me in
congratulating the survey team for this outstanding public service.
"Briefly, I would like to tell you how this very significant
savings was accomplished.
"Ray Jensen of the Services Division of Hughes Aircraft in
Culver City is a member of the Governor's Survey on Efficiency and
Survey
Cost Control. He--working with other members of the team looking at
the practices in the state's Transportation Agency--developed the
factual material and recommendations which resulted in the decision
not to construct the proposed 10-story building.
"They found that there is sufficient office space in the
buildings now occupied by the Highway Patrol and the Department of
Motor Vehicles to not only satisfy the immediate needs, but also to
take care of space needs in the foreseeable future. They determined
that the proposed building--for which contracts had already been
received--was not needed.
-1-
"The survey group--headed by Kenneth Pryor--is composed of
more than 200 top businessmen from throughout California who have
volunteered their services and are presently working full-time for
the benefit of the taxpayers of our state.
"They are spending four to six months on this survey to help
this administration put state government back on a sound and business-
like basis.
"We owe a real debt of gratitude to these public-spirited
citizens. I can assure you they will continue looking into every
phase of state government. And I know their hard work will result
in even more savings as they dig deeper into the machinery of state
government.
"Prior to cancellation of the project, the CHP had proposed
construction of a 10-story, $4,300,000 building next to CHP building
B. The Department of Motor Vehicles has two large buildings in the
same complex. The DMV had proposed that it take over CHP building A
as soon as the 10-story project was completed.
"Jensen and other members of the survey team analyzed CHP space
utilization to determine if the new building was actually needed. They
also analyzed DMV space and discovered that the department has enough
space and would not require the additional office space it had
proposed by taking over CHP building A.
"The conclusion was that the CHP could function satisfactorily
in buildings A and B for the foreseeable future if DMV did not need
building A.
in
"Seventy-five thousand dollars / architectural and engineering fees
have already been spent but the savings of $4 million more than
justifies elimination of the proposed building. Bids for the job have
been received, but no contract has been awarded.
"The task force--in making its recommendations--found that the
number of square feet per employee in the Department of Motor Vehicles
business
far exceeded / and industry standards for comparable office work.
"With better utilization of currently available office space,
both DMV and CHP will have more than adequate facilities through at
least 1980.
"Even with the current expansion of the Highway Patrol, the
CHP will have sufficient space in the foreseeable future because the
expansion will occur primarily in the field and not at headquarters.
-2-
"In addition, the $4 million saved in building and construction
costs can be used for badly-needed state highway construction.
"Another result of the survey team's findings will be a
detailed review of all state office space and the implementation
of uniform space utilization standards which may well lead to more
efficient use of all state government facilities.
"Reports from our three department heads, Harold Sullivan,
General Lolli and Verne Orr, along with a study by the Governor's
Task Force on Efficiency and Cost Control, indicated the proposed
California Highway Patrol 10-story building is not needed.
"Luce said elimination of the building 'will not only save
California taxpayers $4 million but will reduce maintenance costs
by approximately $200,000 a year.
"This savings is visual proof to the people of California that
the governor's program of reducing expenditures in government can
and is being accomplished.
"Monies saved from this unnecessary expenditure can be used to
support the California Highway Patrol in its many functions and to
improve the safety of California's highways,' Luce said.
"Sullivan said the survey group's findings show that 'it will
be possible for the department to operate with adequate space by
utilizing our present building plus the three stories of our new
building.
"We will be able to operate our headquarters within the reduced
space and we are pleased with the savings this can bring the state,'
Sullivan said.
'Elimination of the fifth building in the 'transportation complex'
will work no hardship on the Department of Motor Vehicles,' Orr said.
"The Department was to have taken over the present California
Highway Patrol building in a few months. 'But by applying rigid space
standards, the survey team found they had room for future expansion
within the walls of the present two large DMV buildings,' Orr said.
"General Lolli said: 'After a careful evaluation of the findings
contained in the report of the Governor's Task Force and an examination
of potential future construction cost increases, monies already spent,
and the possible consolidation of other state activities into this
building, it was concluded that there is no need for the proposed CHP
10-story building in the foreseeable future.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that thousands of young
people will be hired by state agencies this summer, but many of these
jobs come under regular merit system examining procedures.
More than 600 jobs, however, are being offered outside of merit
system examining procedures and represent an extra effort by department
heads in response to the governor's appeal to help young job-hunting
Californians get needed work this summer.
In accordance with the governor's original call to his agency
heads and department directors, young persons who are disadvantaged
or come from economically deprived families will have first call on
the jobs. This priority includes college students who must have
summer work to continue their educations.
The 600 job opportunities exist throughout the state, and depart-
ment heads have been asked to place their orders for workers with the
Young Opportunity Center or local office of the California State
Employment Service nearest the job sites. Youths who apply to any of
the state's six Service Centers will be routed to the appropriate
employment office.
Largest number of work opportunities in the 600 total is 239
inspectors with the Department of Agriculture. The Department of
Conservation will employ 200 fire fighters and the Department of
Employment 56 junior clerks and student trainees,
Among the more interesting jobs are 23 being offered by the
Department of Fish and Game and 18 by the Department of Public Works.
This work will be in connection with netting and tagging fish, studying
feeding habits, general stream, lake and hatchery work, and student
engineering aides and survey interviewers.
The state's summer youth job development program is continuing
and more summer youth jobs in general clerical occupations are
anticipated.
The governor said he has asked cities and counties to make as
many summer youth jobs available as possible.
"The most productive impetus for the summer youth employment
program necessarily will come from private industry, however," Governor
Reagan said.
"The private sector in California always has been conscious of
the fact that our state's youth offer employers an excellent source
of summer workers," he concluded.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sacramento--Governor Ronald Reagan today granted executive cle-
mency to Calvin Thomas, and commuted his death sentence to life im-
prisonment without possibility of parole. Thomas had been convicted
of first degree murder by a Los Angeles County jury in May, 1965.
Thomas had been involved in the fire bomb burning of his girl
friend's home, in which fire her three-year-old son was killed. The
incident climaxed a lengthy quarrel between Thomas and the girl friend,
which had also involved several other residents of the neighborhood.
The Governor said clemency was granted because an electroencephal-
ogram and psychiatric examination, conducted after Thomas was convicted,
revealed preexisting brain damage resulting in a chronic mental condi-
tion.
The diagnosis was consistent with Thomas's pattern of behavior
during the quarrel and commission of the crime.
Thomas has no other history of violent behavior.
In determining whether clemency should be granted, the Governor
may consider all circumstances surrounding the case. He is not limited
to matters presented at the time of trial or in subsequent legal pro-
ceedings.
Reagan emphasized that since the nature of Thomas's mental condi-
tion was not discovered until after the trial, the information was not
available to the jury when it considered the penalty.
"On the basis of all factors surrounding the incident, and the
mental condition of Thomas, a commutation of sentence is appropriate
in this case, but Thomas should never be released on parole", he said.
An execution date for Thomas has been set by Los Angeles Superior
Court for June 21. However, United States Supreme Court Justice William
O. Douglas granted a stay of execution on June 13.
Reagan explained that he took the clemency action, despite the
stay, because "All the questions presented to the United States Court
have already been decided by the California Supreme Court, and there
are no issues now pending in this appeal which are relevant to the
clemency decision. Thus, since clemency is justified, there is no good
reason for Thomas to linger on condemned row.
The application for executive clemency submitted by Thomas had also
been considered by the California Supreme Court, which concurred in the

Governor Ronald Reagan today expressed disappointment that a
Senate committee yesterday reported out a Colorado River Basin Project
bill "that compounds rather than salves the water problems of the
Southwest."
"This bill does nothing to resolve the water problems of the
Colorado. All it does is add an additional burden to an already over-
committed river," Governor Reagan said.
"I am sorry the committee did not recognize that the only per-
manent solution is to augment the river's supply.
"Instead, the projects authorized by this bill would drain the
river to the point where existing economies would be placed in jeopardy
and future hopes blocked.
"Moreover, the bill as reported contains the seeds to extend
and expand the water controversies which have plagued the Southwest
for more than 40 years. This includes international complications
with Mexico.
"The bill also thwarts development of badly needed power
resources of the river. While creating a development fund, the bill
does so at the expense of existing power users in California and
Nevada, who buy the vast majority of the power produced at Hoover,
Parker and Davis dams. The bill would increase these power rates for
the benefit of water users in Arizona. California had agreed to the
use of Hoover, Parker and Davis revenues for the benefit of the entire
basin, but we strongly oppose their use to help finance a project which
would add to Colorado River deficiencies which now threaten California.
"I fully recognize the need for new water projects in all states
in the Colorado River Basin, including the Central Arizona Project.
Only last Sunday (June 25) I met with Governor Williams to see if some
way could be found for our states to join hands in solving western
water problems. We made some progress, and I continue to feel
optimistic that solid reasoning will prevail in the long run that a
bill all of the West can support will be enacted.
"California, however, has no recourse but to oppose vigorously
the Senate committee's version.
"I stand ready to assist in working out a fair and equitable
legislative package."

Governor Ronald Reagan today asked Californians to make July 4
"the most meaningful Independence Day in years. II
Reagan urged California cities to particpate in "Parade America, "
a proposal that all American cities stage Independence Day parades.
He also urged a return to the practice of ringing church bells
in commemoration of the nation's independence.
National chairman for "Parade America" is actor Chuck Conners.
Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty heads a national executive committee of
mayors for the project.
"It is time for a re-awakening of patriotism in America, "
Reagan said.
"America's independence is more than just a 200 year old memory
of our revolution. America's independence is fighting the cold war
in Europe and the hot war in Vietnam. And it is maintaining our
freedoms at home.
"It is time Americans took a new look at what they have. It is
time to sit up and re-evaluate just what our freedom and our
independence mean to us, what they meant to our forefathers and
what they will mean to our children--if we can preserve them.
"It is time to do some flag-waving, to put some meaning into
the recitation of the pledge of allegiance and to stand up and be
proud of America.
"Parade America" and the ringing of the bells can tell the
world Americans still are aware of their heritage and still mean to
maintain their freedom. I urge all Californians to participate in
making next Tuesday the most meaningful Independence Day in years. "

IMMEDIATE PRESS
STATEMENT BY GOV. RONALD REAGAN ON BUDGET BILL
As all you gentlemen and ladies know we are here to
sign a budget bill, the first one under this administration.
We have spent a good share of the last two days looking
at the budget the Legislature has sent down to us. In general it
is a good budget. However, I think there are some unnecessary items
and some programs that have been overfunded.
As a result I have done what I promised I would do and
have blue-pencilled about 43 and a half million dollars out of it.
Gordon Smith and some of his people from Finance will go
over the blue-pencilled items with you in detail in a few minutes,
but you might like to know now that among the items we have reduced
are the budgets of the University and College systems. We have also
cut back unneeded funds the Legislature added to our mental health
budget. But again I want to renew the promise that in this area if
there is any shortage--and we don't think there will be--we will
immediately ask the Legislature for additional money.
I have also cut out 3/4th of a million dollars for a
Governor's mansion. I think the people of California would rather
do this on a voluntary basis.
Despite our cuts the budget is still higher than it should
be and I think we can make economies during the next year that will
reduce actual spending by many millions of dollars. Certainly we
are going to try. We expect a lot of help in this area from our
task forces which are now completing their studies and from those
dedicated public employees who have a chance to reduce their own
tax bills in future years by reducing state expenses wherever
possible.
I just want to say that this administration came in on an
economy platform. And we do not take the promises we made lightly.
We intend to keep trying to cut state expenses and to reduce the
cost of government until we have exhausted every possibility. This
year is only the beginning.
