Its success in California could mean that the program\noutlines might well be picked up elsewhere in the country,\" he said.\nThe new law--part of the governor's legislative program--will have\nan almost immediate effect in the Watts-Willowbrook area of Los Angeles\nwhere right-of-way acquisition for the Century Freeway (Interstate 105)\nwill begin shortly.\n\"The program will not only be effective in protecting community\ninterests, but will alleviate the effects of family disruptions and\nthe social pressures which can accompany large construction projects,\"\nthe governor said.\nHe noted that the program in the Watts-Willowbrook area will be\nespecially significant since it will serve as the prototype to be\nfollowed in other urban areas of California where freeway construction\nis planned.\nThe bill was endorsed by the California Highway Commission and the\nstate Business and Transportation Agency. It also received strong\nbipartisan support in both houses of the state legislature.\nThe legislation will permit the state Department of Public Works\nto provide for replacement housing where \"fair market value\" is not\nsufficient to provide adequate replacement housing.\nImmediate implementation of this concept will result in the purchase\nof a four-acre tract in the Watts-Willowbrook area. Houses earmarked\nfor condemnation by other Los Angeles freeway construction will be\nmoved and renovated on this tract. Together with two and four family\nunits to be built on the site by private industry, the houses will serve\nas an example of what can be done to ease the strain on the housing\nsituation brought about by freeway construction in any economically\ndepressed area throughout the state.\n#498\nOnce having served this purpose, the residences will be available\nto local families displaced by the Century Freeway.\nThe program embodied in the legislation is the first of its type\nin the United States and was conceived by the state Division of\nHighways.\nSecretary for Business and Transportation Gordon C. Luce joined\nthe governor in lauding the legislation and those responsible for it.\nLuce emphasized the importance of the state's highway and freeway\nsystem and called attention to the important role which California's\nhighways play in building and maintaining the economy of the state.\nGovernor Reagan said, \"Our highway system has enabled the people\nof California to become the most mobile people on earth.\"\n\"However, certain social problems can develop from the very\nlocation and construction of highways and freeways. Great numbers of\nfamilies often are displaced when their homes are purchased and then\ndemolished. It is often very difficult for them to find suitable\nreplacement housing at comparable prices.\n\"As a result of large freeway land purchases, a tremendous\ndemand is created for low-cost housing with almost no market or supply\nto meet that demand.\n\"The inevitable result is often an increase in pressures forcing\nprices even higher on the limited housing that is available on the\nperimeter of the areas affected. With replacement housing not\navailable, at least through conventional means, serious disruptions\ncan occur. They, in turn, create added social problems and increased\nfrustrations.\n\"This bill, then, provides a logical means of resolving such\nproblems. This is true, not only in California but throughout the\ncountry. The concept could benefit millions of displaced families\nthroughout the nation during the federal highway construction program.\n\"If government is responsible for the displacement of families,\nthen responsible government should see to it that adequate replacement\nhousing is made available,\" the governor said.\n# # #\n-2-\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n8.1.68\n# 499\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation enabling\nCalifornia's mountain counties to keep more roads open to traffic\nthrough the snow country during the winter months.\nThe new law (SB-615) was authored by Senators Randolph Collier,\nStephen Teale and Fred Marler and co-authored by Assemblyman Gene\nChappie. It received strong support from the state's Business and\nTransportation Agency.\nThe legislation permits counties in heavy snow areas greater\nlatitude in determining what percentage of county road maintenance\nfunds received from the state should be used for snow removal opera-\ntions\nThe overall snow removal program of the Reagan administration\nemphasizes the annual California Division of Highways' campaign to\nkeep 2,740 selected miles of snow-swept state highways open to\ntraffic. It is also intended to inform drivers, in advance, of unfa-\nvorable road conditions through mountain areas by furnishing weather\nthen\nand road conditions to local radio stations. Radio broadcasts/keep\nmotorists informed, including giving advice on use of chains.\nGovernor Reagan noted that the legislation will assure that more\ncounty roads remain open to traffic throughout the year.\nThe bill increases to approximately $1 million the amount that\ncan be spent statewide each year by the counties for this purpose.\nThis represents a $300,000 increase over the previous maximum amount.\nThe bill received bi-partisan support.\nAssistant Secretary for Business and Transportation James C.\nSchmidt said, \"Placer, Nevada and El Dorado Counties will probably be\nthe first to take advantage of the bill. All three are in the Lake\nTahoe area, where more and more motorists come each year for winter\nsport activities. This bill will give these counties badly needed\nmonies to serve motorists better.\n\"Other counties will also benefit since approximately 35,000\nsquare miles are included in California's snow country, Schmidt\nsaid.\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n8.1.68\n#500\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed into law a bill which\nprovides a guideline for financing future rapid transit systems in\nCalifornia.\nThe governor praised the legislature for passage of the bill\n(AB-101), authored by Assemblyman Frank Lanterman (R-La Canada).\nIt was a major item in the governor's legislative program.\nThe governor first proposed the basic guidelines of the\nlegislation in his \"State-of-the-State\" message.\nLos Angeles will be the first county to take advantage of the\nbill's main provision which permits local voters to decide whether\nto levy a one-half cent sales tax increase for use in building rapid\ntransit facilities. Present plans call for Los Angeles County voters\nto make this decision at the polls in November.\nIf approved, the sales tax returns will be used to guarantee\nbonds for an 89-mile rail transit system and an expanded bus network.\nApproval will require a 60 percent vote by the electorate.\n\"This bill is particularly significant,\" Governor Reagan said,\n\"because it offers a method of funding rail transit and encourages\na broader state role in balanced transportation planning. By its\nenactment, state government has accepted the fact that we need many\nforms of transportation in order to best serve the needs of the\npublic.\n\"At the same time, the legislation protects the property tax-\npayer and provides that the final decision in each community can be\nmade by the local residents at the polls.\"\nBoth Governor Reagan and Secretary of Business and Transportatio\nGordon C. Luce encouraged passage of the bill as a means of financ-\ning a balanced transportation network without increasing property\ntaxes.\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Intediate\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n8.1.68\n#501\nauthor ills\nThe following statement was issued today by Governor Ronald Reagan\nin connection with the signing of SB 393 (the motion picture film bill) :\n\"I had hoped to be able to handle tax reforms of this kind in a\nsingle program of overhaul and reform next year instead of in what\nmight be called a piecemeal fashion. However, this bill is before me\nand I am happy to sign what I consider to be a constructive measure\nthat will improve our business climate and add to employment.\n\"There have been criticisms that this is special legislation\nfavoring. one industry over others. The very reverse is true. We are\nhereby cancelling out a discriminatory tax that penalized only one\nbusiness and literally made the production of motion pictures a seasonal\nindustry\nThe tax should never have been imposed in the first place\nand in truth is a holdover from an era when 'movies' were considered\nfair game, rich enough to bear almost any injustice.\n\"Every year studio employment reaches its peak in January and then\ndrops off sharply as production is curtailed until after the March tax\ndate. The tax applies only to California production so forfive months\neach year producers make films in other countries while Californians\ngo on layoff and unemployment insurance payments approach half a\nmillion dollars a week.\nOn March 1 of this year only 14 of Hollywood's 206 sound stages\nwere in use and 42 percent of our film technicians were unemployed. And\nas is true of any discriminatory tax, it soon begins to dry up its own\nrevenue simply because it drives the industry away. This year's tax\ncollection was down 30 percent from last year. This is less of a tax\nbill than it is a bill to restore Hollywood as once again the world's\nfilm capital with a $5 million weekly payroll.\"\n# # #\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVEF\nR\nRELEASE: Ir diate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n8.3.68\n# 502\nannounced today he has\nBerg\nGovernor Ronald Reagan\n/\nsigned Assembly Bill 1023 which\npermits Congress to ratify a compact between California and Nevada\nfor the management of the Lake Tahoe Basin.\n)\nIn a statement released by his office, the governor said:\n\"Early in the current session I urged the legislature to\nexpedite passage of these compact provisions.\n\"However, Assemblyman Z'berg chose to kill a bill authored by\nAssemblyman Eugene Chappie which carried the compact provisions.\nMr. Z 'berg incorporated these same provisions in the bill which I\nam signing today.\n\"I only hope that Mr. Z'berg's tardy realization of the\nnecessity for this action has not eliminated the possibility of\nCongressional ratification of the compact during this session of\nCongress.\"\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n8.5.68\n#503\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the texts of two\ntelegrams, one he received from Assembly Speaker Jesse M. Unruh,\nAugust 3, and another sent by Governor Reagan to the Speaker, in\nreply, August 4.)\nHere is the text of Unruh's telegram to the governor:\n\"Dear Governor Reagan:\n\"As you know, the Senate of the State of California has\nadjourned sine die today. This action has been authorized by a\nproclamation issued by acting Governor Hugh M. Burns. Both you and\nI have promised the people of California they would have property tax\nrelief this year, but the state Senate has failed to pass the legisla-\ntion that would bring this about.\n\"I think it is essential you meet with me and other legislators\nin an attempt to resolve this situation.\n\"If it is impossible for you to return, and I understand fully\nsuch may well be the case, may I meet with you in Miami at a time and\nplace of your choosing?\n\"Sincerely,\n\"Jesse M. Unruh\nSpeaker of Assembly\"\nBelow is Governor Reagan's reply, by wire, to Speaker Unruh:\n\"With reference to your request to come to Miami, the\nlegislature has had seven months to adopt my recommendations for\nproperty tax and income tax relief. In the Assembly you yourself put\nin crippling amendments to my proposals. The Senate had its own\nposition in the matter.\n\"Under the circumstances I do not see how meeting in Miami\ncan accomplish anything that you could not have accomplished in the\nlast seven months.\n\"When you are able to assure me of the united support of the\nDemocratic assemblymen for my property and income tax relief program,\nI will be glad to discuss with you, in Sacramento, methods of securing\nSenate support for that program, and methods of carrying it out.\n\"Ronald Reagan\nGovernor\"\n# # #\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVER\nR\nMEMO TO !\nPRESS\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n8.5.68\n#504\nLieutenant Governor Robert H.

I am personally indebted to him, both as a friend\nand as a dedicated public servant.\n\"I believe his decision to adjourn the legislature was proper and\nthoughtfully considered. Certainly, he acted within his constitutional\nauthority as governor.\n\"The fact is, the legislature had reached a virtual impasse on some\nof the most important bills on its agenda.\n\"Seven full months had passed. It had become the longest legisla-\ntive session in history.\n\"Yet, such vital issues as property tax relief for California's\nhomeowners\nincome tax relief for our overburdened middle income\nfamilies\nBART financing\nand others\nwere still unresolved.\n\"And, no prospect for agreement on these issues was in sight.\n\"Adjournment, therefore, was justified and appropriate.\n\"However, the fact still remains that the kind of pressing issues\nI've mentioned must not go unresolved indefinitely. We all surely recog-\nnize that they are far too important to be left submerged in the unpro-\nductive depths of partisan bickering.\n\"They can and must be resolved. But, this will require a full\nmeasure of cooperation and mutual understanding among reasonable men.\n\"If I am given assurance from both houses of the legislature that\nagreement is possible on the important, but unresolved, matters facing\nus, I will not hesitate to take those steps necessary to put the ap-\npropriate subjects on special call.\n\"Without such assurance, there is only the prospect of continued\nhaggling and a further waste of the taxpayer's money.\n\"The people want these problems resolved. It is now up to the mem-\nbers of the legislature to see to it this can be done.\""
