Governor Reagan today issued the following statement:
"I would like to take this opportunity to personally commend
Los Angeles schoolteacher Miss Vianne Perry for the great courage she
*
displayed in attempting to free all her fellow passengers aboard a
hijacked TWA jetliner in Damascus over the weekend.
"I know that millions of Californians share my admiration and
pride for the leadership she assumed in confronting Syrian authorities
to rightly demand freedom for all the detained passengers aboard the
plane.
"At the same time I want to express my deep unhappiness at the way
in which the Syrians have handled the hijacking, particularly the
detention of six innocent passengers whose only 'crime' was Israeli
nationality. I understand that two of these persons are still being held.
"This act of piracy piracy of human beings goes infinitely
beyond the accepted norms of governmental behavior, indeed, to the
extent that one must seriously question the legitimacy of such a regime
to take its place among the civilized community of nations.
"As an American citizen, I join the millions of others around the
world in repeating Miss Perry's demand that Syria immediately release
those still detained so they may return to their homes and families."

Governor Ronald Reagan today called President Nixon's nomination
of Arthur F. Van Court of Sacramento as U.S. Marshal in the eastern
district of California "an outstanding choice, one which will further
strengthen federal law enforcement activities in this area."
The Office of the President announced the selection of Van Court
today at the Western White House in San Clemente.
Van Court, 43, has served as travel secretary and coordinator of
security programs for the executive branch during the course of the
Reagan administration.
In a statement, the governor said:
"Art Van Court's nomination to this important post is an outstanding
choice, one which will further strengthen federal law enforcement
activities in this area.
"His many years in the field of law enforcement including two
decades as an investigator for the Los Angeles Police Department are
clearly first rate credentials for the job. I know that Art's first
love has always been law enforcement, and, in his new post, he will have
a great deal of knowledge and experience to draw upon in the conduct of
his important duties.
"Naturally, we all hate to see him go, but at the same time we are
very pleased that his abilities have been duly recognized by the National
administration.
"Moreover, Art's selection represents a significant advancement in
his own law enforcement career---a step up to even greater responsibility
for which he has proved himself so capable.
"I wish him the best of luck and every success during the months and
years to come in his new assignment, " Governor Reagan said.
Van Court joined the Los Angeles Police Department following World
War II. During the next 20 years, he worked in all phases of law
enforcement, including traffic and radio patrol, but specialized in
narcotics enforcement for the major portion of his career. He retired
from the department's intelligence division three years ago to become
tour director for Governor Reagan's gubernatorial campaign.
He took a leave of absence during 1964 to work as assistant chief
of security in the Goldwater campaign for president.
During World War II, he was a gunnery instructor and air crewman,
U.S. Navy.
A native of Oakland, Van Court is married, has four sons and resides
in Sacramento.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation which will benefit
California consumers"by further strengthening poultry inspection
procedures in the state and, at the same time, saving taxpayer dollars."
The legislation (AB 970), imposes stricter inspection of poultry
products and plants to bring them up to federal standards.
The governor said: "I am pleased to sign this legislation, because
it promises to benefit California consumers in two ways--by further
strengthening poultry inspection procedures in the state and, at the
same time, saving taxpayer dollars."
The administration-sponsored measure, authored by Assemblyman
Ray E. Johnson, (R-Chico) authorizes the State Director of Agriculture
to enter cooperative agreements with federal agencies to enforce federal
standards on poultry plants and products.
By bringing the state inspection system up to standards required
under the Federal Wholesome Poulty Products Act, the state will be
reimbursed up to 50 percent of the cost of the program.
It is estimated that this will save California taxpayers more than
$30,000 annually.

An important step toward meeting California's future transportation
needs was taken today when Governor Ronald Reagan signed a bill
creating the California Transportation Board.
In signing the measure, AB 974, the governor paid tribute to its
author, Assemblyman John Foran, D-San Francisco, and to Gordon C. Luce,
Secretary of Business and Transportation, who strongly supported it.
"Both Assemblyman Foran and Secretary Luce can take pride in their
efforts which brought us this important new tool to work on California's
future transportation needs," the governor said.
Creation of the seven member board implements a recommendation
made in November by the Governor's Task Force on Transportation following
an 18 month study of public and private air, land and sea transportation
systems.
Los Angeles architect William L. Pereira headed the 24-member
task force, initiated by Secretary Luce, which included experts in
every field of transportation.
The new board will review master plans, both private and public,
for the overall state-wide transportation system including the California
Freeway and Expressway System, the State Aviation Master Plan and
regional transportation plans developed by such organizations as the
Bay Area Transportation Study Commission, the Transportation Association
of Southern California, the San Diego Comprehensive Planning Organization
and the Sacramento Regional Area Planning Commission.
In addition it will assist the state in planning and developing
policies for new transportation systems including supersonic air
transport, automated highways, computer-dispatched urban transit systems,
super-tanker ships and containerized freight trucking.
"This board and our recently announced HUD grant will assist
our agency in bringing together the planning and coordination of
transportation in California and represents the culmination of efforts
by many people toward these goals," Luce said.
Five members of the new board will be appointed by the Governor,
subject to Senate confirmation. The remaining two posts will be filled
by the Chairman of the Assembly and Senate Transportation Committees
serving as ex-officio members of the Board. Members will serve without
pay and will meet at least four times a year.
Governor Reagan is screening potential members of the board.

Governor Ronald Reagan today climaxed a major effort by his
administration to "further strengthen state control and regulation of
pesticides" by signing into law two key bills in his legislative program
which "will benefit not only agriculture, but the general public as a
whole."
Both measures (AB-1209, Pattee and Ray Johnson; and AB-1210, Pattee)
were sponsored by the Reagan administration and approved unanimously in
the legislature.
In a statement, the governor said:
"During recent months there has been considerable scientific and
public concern over the use of pesticides in California.
"While the state has exercised tight controls over such usage for
more than half a century, this administration has been working actively
for the passage of legislation to further strengthen state control and
regulation of pesticides.
"I am pleased to say that these two bills will help us accomplish
these important objectives and will benefit not only agriculture, but
the general public as a whole."
AB. 1209 requires that before any pesticide application is made, the
applicator must have a written recommendation from the pesticide dealer
or his agent in considerable detail. This should prevent any mis-
application of chemicals due to misunderstanding or poor communication.
It also puts on record exactly where the responsibility for any misuse
of pesticides lies.
AB 1210 requires that a pesticide dealer must be licensed by the
director of agriculture and that the dealer's agent or salesman must be
registered with the agricultural commissioner of every county in which
he operates. To get a dealer's license, the applicant must pass a test
of his knowledge of laws and regulations governing pesticides.
Up to now, state laws did not regulate the operations of pesticide
dealers or salesmen. AB 1210 fills this gap.
It also provides California with additional tools to ensure that
pesticides are used properly. Dealers' license fees, to be shared with
the counties, will cover the cost of administering this program.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed into law a key element in his
anti-crime legislative program, a bill (SB-66, Sherman) designed to I
protect informants who provide evidence of activities in such areas as
narcotics, bookmaking, prostitution and organized crime.
"The legislation," he said, "will give law enforcement another
effective means of obtaining evidence of vice activities by protecting
the informant against reprisal by protecting his identity. For, once an
informant is identified, he is useless for future activity and is in
danger of losing his life."
The bill establishes a judicial procedure which will protect the
informant against disclosure by permitting a closed hearing. On the
other hand, the defendant will be guaranteed a fair and open hearing
because, if the court determines in closed session that the informant is a
material witness to the alleged crime, the informant must be identified.
Governor Reagan noted that "some 90 percent of all narcotic
convictions are made possible through the use of confidential informants.
"Most vice activities such as narcotics, bookmaking, prostitution
and organized crime involve willing victims rather than complainants
who ask for police protection or prosecution. Those in the law
enforcement field are agreed that informants are necessary in the fight
against crime, 11 he said.
"I believe that this legislation with its protection of the
informant and fairness to the defendant will move California a step
closer toward insuring the safety of the state's law abiding citizens,"
he added.
The governor expressed his appreciation to Senator Lewis F. Sherman
who carried the bill for the administration and noted the support it
received from such organizations as the California Peace Officers'
Association and the District Attorneys' Association.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed into law a bill which "could
substantially reduce the cost of housing construction to low income
families in California" by "cutting through red tape and speeding the
end product to the consumer."
The measure, AB-1971 (Wilson, R-San Diego), was sponsored by the
Reagan administration and will be known as the California Factory Built
Housing Law. It establishes a uniform state code for factory-built,
pre-fabricated housing and permits inspection of such construction at
the factory, prior to being accepted at the site.
Governor Reagan said: "The introduction of factory methods in
building homes coupled with the easing of an over-abundance of
regulations, as provided in this legislation could substantially reduce
the cost of housing construction to low income families in California.
"The bill will not only help meet the ever growing need for such
housing by cutting through red tape and speeding the end product to the
consumer, but it should also open up a new labor market, stimulate the
economy, and further develop space-age technology in the field of
housing, " he said.
Governor Reagan congratulated Assemblyman Pete Wilson for
successfully guiding the measure through the legislature and commended
the Department of Housing and Community Development, the California
Builders Council, the League of California Cities, and the California
Real Estate Association for their efforts in drafting the model housing
legislation.

Governor Reagan today signed legislation which would broaden the
protective and prevention features of California's highly successful
probation subsidy program. The bill part of the governor's legislative
program also appropriates $200,000 to finance delinquency prevention
projects throughout the state, the first such state appropriation ever
made.
The measure SB-428, Kennick will permit the counties to place
pre-delinquent youths and adults who have committed misdemeanors in specia
supervision programs which are financed by the probation subsidy.
Under the subsidy program, the state provides subsidies for counties
in return for reducing their expected level of commitments to state
institutions, both youth and adults. The subsidies must be used to set
up special supervision programs to provide intensive counseling,
psychiatric and other services to help rehabilitate those who are not
sent to the state institutions.
Governor Reagan noted that "during the first three years of the
program, commitments to state institutions were reduced by more than
7,000 persons. Although the state subsidy totaled $30 million, the state
was able to save several times this amount, taking into consideration
what it would have cost to build new institutions for these offenders
and for maintaining them," he said.
"By making it possible for pre-delinquents and lesser offenders to
receive probation services under the program," the governor said, "the
state will help the counties rehabilitate potential criminals before
they commit really serious offenses.
"I believe there is no more effective and economical way to meet
the problem of crime and delinquency than to prevent it. And, this can
best be done by providing opportunities for rehabilitation before the
potential offender has embarked upon his criminal career."
Governor Reagan said that the $200,000 appropriation for deliquency
prevention projects will qualify the state for several times that amount
in federal funds. The money will be disbursed to many of the counties
setting the stage for a community based assault on delinquency.
A portion of the appropriation will also be used to fund two
demonstration projects developed at the direction of State Human Relations
Secretary Spencer Williams to identify potential delinquents early in
their school careers and take prompt steps to prevent them from becoming
delinquent. The projects are called the Delinquency Early Warning System.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed into law two administration-
backed bills which lay the groundwork for greater highway beautifica-
tion and improved community values in the state.
The measures (SB 1238, Marler; and AB 455, Porter) will permit
the state to lease non-operating parcels of highway rights or excess
lands to local government for use as mini-parks and recreational areas.
The governor said his action "is in keeping with the concern of
this administration for preserving and improving California's
environment and assuring that all our citizens receive maximum benefit
from existing highway property."
SB 1238 permits the director of public works to lease non-operating
rights of way to local agencies to combine beautification and
recreational uses, and will allow the state to assume a more flexible
position regarding the cost of developments on such parcels by local
governments.
State funds cannot now be used to defray expenses in establishing
such a facility. The bill enables the state to allow a local agency
full credit for funds that would have been spent on landscaping,
maintenance or similar amenities that would have been required had the
land remained solely under state control.
"This could cut the cost of the lease by a substantial amount or
be applied to the actual development of the facility," Public Works
Director James Moe said.
The measure also authorizes the state to classify portions of
the state highway right of way as non-operating lands. It applies to
those lands which, while not actually required for traffic operation,
must be retained by the state because they are under a freeway, in an
interchange, or required for freeway drainage purposes.
Governor Reagan said AB 455 may prove, in the future, to be of
even greater assistance in improving community values because it involves
excess property which otherwise would be sold.
The bill provides that any excess parcels or portions of parcels
lying within 200 feet of the closest boundary of the state highway may
be leased to a local agency for park purposes. It will make it possible
for determinations to be made in each case that the development of a
park on such property would protect the highway and preserve its view,
appearance, light and air, and usefulness.
Both measures will make it possible for many communities to develop
mini-parks or recreational areas at very little expense.
Los Angeles and San Francisco recently expressed a desire to lease
space adjacent to operating freeways. San Diego is interested in lands
located in an interchange now under development.
Department of Public Works records indicate there are several
hundred potential sites where the joint use could become reality.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed into law five administration-
backed bills designed to help tighten up welfare and Medi-Cal
expenditures.
One measure (SB 847, Stevens) part of the governor's legislative
program not only saves the taxpayer the cost of an unnecessary state
subsidy to families with adequate financial resources, but also uses a
portion of the savings to expand placement opportunities for the
mentally retarded who cannot be kept in their own homes.
The bill corrects a present inequity under which aid is granted to
totally disabled persons, without regard to the financial resources of
the parents of such persons. It prohibits parents who are financially
well-off from claiming welfare allowances for room rent and other items
of household expense which would exist even though the disabled persons
were not living with them.
Governor Reagan said he was especially pleased to sign the legis-
lation because "it strengthens the important concept we have been
pushing during the course of this administration the need for family
responsibility wherever possible."
One half of the savings to the state general fund from the new
provision or, roughly $1.6 million this fiscal year will be allo-
cated to the State Department of Social Welfare to help pay private
institutional costs for mentally retarded persons who cannot be kept at
home.
These additional funds will permit the release of a number of
mentally retarded persons from state hospitals and pay for their
placement in private institutions, generally at less expense than the
cost of state hospitalization.
Another administration-sponsored measure (SB 857, Deukmejian)
signed by the governor will make sure that welfare funds intended to aid
needy children are not siphoned off for use by an unrelated man living
with the family.
Under the bill, the man will have to contribute to the expenses of
the family at least to the same extent it would cost him for the same
accommodations secured independently.
-1-
#506
A bill (AB 1351, Ketchum) to develop efficient, highly automated
processes for determining eligibility and making aid payments will also
reduce the cost of administering welfare programs. Heart of the
measure is the creation of an integrated welfare management information
system employing the most sophisticated electronic data processing
equipment.
In signing the legislation, Governor Reagan said:
"Development of this information system will enable the state to
greatly improve the management and the effectiveness of public assist-
ance programs. It will help analyze policy alternatives, make accurate
cost estimates, assist in controlling program costs, eliminate duplica-
tion of effort by various governmental agencies, and improve the
exchange of pertinent information."
When developed, the system should further cut down paperwork and
relieve social workers of clerical tasks so they can devote their time
to those who need their assistance.
The State Human Relations Agency will be responsible for developing
the system in cooperation with the counties and with the federal
Department of Health, Education and Welfare. HEW recently selected
California as one of four pilot states to help develop a nationwide
uniform social welfare information system.
The measure appropriates $108,000 as the state's share of first-
year development costs. The federal government will contribute
$350,000.
Plans call for the Welfare Information System to ultimately form
the nucleus of a broad, agency-wide information system serving nine
departments, and facilitating exchange of information in such welfare-
related fields as Medi-Cal, rehabilitation and human resource
development.
Another measure (AB 1454, Duffy) signed by the governor provides
for disqualification from Medi-Cal of any person who charges the program
more than the reasonable value of the services he receives.
A companion bill (AB 1460, Duffy) receiving the governor's
signature will strengthen the state's ability to recover the cost of
medical assistance given to persons who were injured by someone else
who is civilly liable. This measure will assist the state in recouping
its costs when, for example, a welfare recipient is injured by an
insured driver.
Governor Reagan said "the two bills will go a long way toward
reducing Medi-Cal costs to the state's taxpayers and appropriately
discipline those who try to gouge the program both prime objectives
of this administration." II

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed two bills designed to give
college administrators more muscle to deal with hard-core campus
troublemakers.
The measures are AB 534 by Assemblyman Frank J. Murphy (R-Santa
Cruz) and AB 1286 by Assemblyman John Stull (R-Encinitas).
The Murphy bill is aimed at those who disturb the peace on the
campus, students or employees who have been dismissed for campus
disruptions and re-enter without permission, those who fail to leave
the campus after ordered to do so by college authorities and outsiders
who are ordered off campus and return within 72 hours without permission.
Violators will be subject to misdemeanor complaints and if found
guilty could be fined up to $500 and jailed for six months, or both.
"Assemblyman Murphy's bill will give college administrators
muscle to deal with hard-core campus troublemakers by making it possible
to isolate them. It also provides criminal penalties if the trouble-
makers return to the campus," the governor said.
"This measure can assist in maintaining our campuses as educational
institutions--not battlegrounds," the governor remarked. "As I've
pointed out repeatedly, academic goals must be pursued through
legitimate educational channels without force or violence. Nonacademic
goals must not be allowed to destroy the educational process."
The Stull bill gives college and university officials the power
to discipline students or faculty members convicted of crimes arising
from a campus disturbance, and would withdraw state financial aid from
students participating in campus disorders.
It also allows the Regents of the University of California,
Trustees of the State Colleges and the governing boards of junior
colleges to adopt rules of student behavior and establish penalties
for violations which will be presented to each student at the beginning
of the semester or quarter.
"There is absolutely no reason why the state should financially
assist students who are actively engaged in destroying the schools that
are providing them with an education," the governor said.
"This bill will withdraw state scholarships from students who
commit criminal acts on and disrupt the peace of the campus.
"The people of this state, who have generously supported our
institutions of higher education, will no longer tolerate public
assistance to students who reciprocate by destroying the very institutions
this assistance enables them to attend. We will not pay for our own
destruction.'

Governor Ronald Reagan, acting to prevent the possibility of a
chaotic maze of differing local ordinances pertaining to the licensing
and registration of firearms by hunters and sportsmen in California,
today signed legislation which will insure uniform regulations on
their use throughout the state.
The measure (SB 4, Richardson) affirms the authority of the state
to regulate the licensing of commercially manufactured firearms, in
much the same way as the state establishes uniform regulations
governing such things as traffic safety on highways throughout
California.
Governor Reagan said, "Without this legislation, sportsmen might
well be confronted in the future by a chaotic maze of differing local
firearm licensing regulations each time they entered another local
jurisdiction to go hunting.
"Imagine driving along a freeway from one county to another, not
knowing from one mile to the next if traffic regulations had changed
and, if so, in what way," he said. He noted that California now has a
comprehensive Deadly Weapons Control Act which provides for statewide
regulation of firearms.
"California's hunters and sportsmen who use firearms are a highly
mobile group. It is not unusual for them to travel from one part of
the state to another, often a number of counties away from` home, to
hunt," he said.
"Without the provisions of this bill, they could well face a
multiplicity of unfamiliar and dissimilar ordinances pertaining to
firearms each time they crossed into a different county.
"The potential for such a situation in the future would have been
very real had this legislation not reached my desk. Already, several
communities in the state have enacted separate local firearms licensing
and registration regulations.
"California's hunters and sportsmen represent a significant
segment of our population. Approximately one million hunting licenses
are taken out in California each year.
"These sportsmen should not be expected to have to cope with the
difficulties inherent in independent local regulation of licensing and
registration of firearms. The authority given to the state by this
bill will assure that the possibility of such a situation does not
arise," the governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today vetoed a socalled "open primary"
bill (SB 3) authored by Sen. Alfred E. Alquist (D-San Jose) because
he said the legislation would create what he called a "compulsory
primary" in California "which would force all potential dark-horse
candidates to spend enormous sums of money to mount a campaign."
His veto message said:
"I am returning this bill unsigned because, although it has been
erroneously dubbed an 'open primary' bill by some, it would, in fact,
a
create in California/'compulsory primary' which would force all potential
dark-horse candidates to spend enormous sums of money to mount a
campaign.
"While perhaps benefiting advertising agencies and professional
campaign managers, the bill would, in effect, require an entrance fee
into the presidential sweepstakes far more onerous than similar laws
in much smaller states now impose.
"The fact is, California already has an 'open primary.' Any
candidate genuinely interested in running for the presidency can enter.
"Serious analysis must lead one to the conclusion that the present
system in California already provides for direct citizen involvement and
is far better than the proposed compulsory system.
"But the reasons I have outlined are not the only compelling ones
which bear on my decision.
"This bill delegates to one elected official, the Secretary of State,
the authority and responsibility for determing who is or is not a.
'generally recognized' candidate for his party's nomination for the
presidency, at least for purposes of gaining a place on the ballot. I
believe that determination should be made by the voters of each party
as it is now, through the requirement that supporters of each candidate
gather a reasonable number of signatures of registered voters.
"If a candidate is, indeed, 'generally recognized' as a serious
presidential contender, his supporters should have no difficulty in
gathering sufficient signatures to place his name on the California
ballot. If, on the other hand, they are unable to gather sufficient
signatures, that, in itself, would indicate a lack of broad-based appeal.

"The present syste. in California is no handicap to serious
candidates, but the petition process does discourage capricious filings
for a place on the ballot by publicity seekers.
"Contrary to what its advocates contend, the so-called 'open
primary' system does not guarantee a choice among all potential
candidates.
"One needs look only to the 1968 election year for an example.
The eventual nominee of the Democratic Party (Hubert H. Humphrey) was
not on the ballot in either Oregon or Nebraska, the two states which
currently have so-called 'open primary' systems.
"The news media certainly recognized the former Vice President as
the major candidate for the Democratic nomination for president yet
he was not on the ballot in states having the same type of law which
this bill proposes.
"In conclusion, this legislation fails to provide any compelling
alternative to California's present 'open primary' system.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Californians will be protected against insurance companies
that go broke under a bill signed today by Governor Ronald Reagan.
"Immediate effect of the new law will be to bring relief to
6,000 policyholders in a small defunct Northern California company
that has been taken over by the Department of Insurance," the governor
said.
The legislation- AB 1310--was authored by Assemblyman John V.
Briggs (R-Fullerton).
It creates the California Insurance Guarantee Association
which will respond to claims against policies issued by insurers that
have become insolvent, and sets up machinery for handling the claims
without the expenditure of public funds.
"This bill was enacted to bring relief to 6,000 policyholders
of a company that became insolvent, but it does far more," the governor
said in signing the legislation.
"It not only protects insured Californians against insolvent
companies but it also demonstrates that the states can provide this
protection without going to the Federal government for assistance,"

Governor Ronald Reagan said today he has "reluctantly signed into
law a so-called 'conflict-of-interest' law Assembly Bill 325 by
Assemblyman Jesse Unruh.
"I have signed this bill only because it represents a tentative
step in the right direction and is therefore better than nothing.
"But the public should not be misled. This bill is not a compre-
hensive conflict-of-interest law. It is a watered-down disclosure law,
which requires, with many ambiguities, loopholes and exemptions, public
officials to list investments over $10,000 in businesses regulated by
state or local government.
"The opportunities for evasion in the bill are substantial.
"There is, however, one worthwhile feature and it is the principal
reason I have signed it. That requires candidates to list the donor of
each campaign contribution over $500 together with the amount of the
donation.
"But this section should be called the "Winton Act" in honor of
the former Assemblyman who attempted for many years to obtain passage
of a purity of elections law requiring the listing of all donors with
the amount of their donation.
"Unfortunately, Assemblyman Winton's bill was always defeated
during the period when then Speaker Jesse Unruh controlled the Assembly.
The disclosure provisions in this bill may, in certain cases,
prove a slight deterrent to wrongdoing. But disclosure is only one of
several necessary approaches to conflict-of-interest.
"Without accompanying laws prescribing wrongful acts, disclosure
provisions can be little more than window dressing. Disclosure must
serve public purposes not merely satisfy curiosity seekers, or furnish
ammunition for solicitation.
"A substantially different approach to the overall subject of
conflict of interest is represented by Assembly Bill 2343, which was
introduced on behalf of the administration by Assemblyman Newton
Russell (R-Tujunga).
"Unfortunately this constructive bill failed to get out of the
Assembly committee.
-1-
#512
"The purpose of AL 2343 was to:
(1) Broaden the coverage of existing laws to include all levels
of the executive branch of state government, including exempt and civil
service employees and members of boards and commissions; (2) identify
specific wrongful acts; (3) increase the penalties for violation; (4)
require disclosure of all assets in businesses regulated by the state;
(5) require really detailed campaign reporting; and (6) pull the
presently scattered statutes on this subject into one place in the
Government Code, so that all can find the law.
"I intend to again push for approval of Assembly Bill 2343 in 1970
and, where appropriate, to expand the coverage of the measure to insure
that the legislative and judicial branches of state government, and
officials of local government, all will be included.
"I hope the legislature will see fit to enact this far more useful
approach to this very important subject.
"The major emphasis of Assembly Bill 2343 is to forbid wrongful
acts, rather than to place total reliance upon the partial disclosure
of assets of a few people, as is the case with the Unruh bill.
"I prefer the more comprehensive approach of Assembly Bill 2343
for the following reasons:
(1) All public officials, including civil service employees,
should be subject to the same overall standards of ethical conduct.
The Unruh bill exempts the great majority of public employees from its
provisions.
"(2) Wrongful acts should be clearly identified and made known
to all public officials, and prohibited, with penalties for violation.
Assembly Bill 325 merely requires disclosure of some assets of individuals
(3) Disclosure provisions should not be based upon an arbitrary
standard of $10,000, as in Assembly Bill 325, but upon a percentage of
income, as in Assembly Bill 2343. Obviously, a $10,000 investment is
far more significant to some individuals than others.
" (4) Assembly Bill 325 only requires campaign contributions in
excess of $500 to be identified by contributors. Assembly Bill 2343
establishes the level at $5. The $500 level is obviously too high,
and evasions are virtually encouraged.
"It is very regrettable that AB 325 fails to get at the heart of
conflict-of-interest.
"And until the legislature enacts a tough, comprehensive conflict-
of-interest proposal such as AB 2343, California's laws will contain a
major gap in a key field. That gap must be closed in 1970."

California's participation in a comprehensive western states study
designed to provide better short-haul air transportation facilities in
the future was assured today by a bill signed into law by Governor
Ronald Reagan.
The legislation (SB 885 - Collier) provides $100,000 as California's
share of the 13-state study.
Governor Reagan explained that the study of the West Coast Air
Corridor received the approval of the Western Governor's Conference in
Hawaii in November of 1968.
He said a principal objective will be to design and implement
feasibility demonstrations to determine the impact of aviation
technology on short-haul transportation. Special emphasis will be on
vertical, short take-off and landing systems.
Ultimate objective of the program will be the development of an
air transportation system for the western region.
"The short-haul--under 500 miles--segment of air transportation
has been sadly neglected in this age of supersonic, long-range
aircraft," the governor said.
"Because of this neglect, the tremendous advance in air speeds has
not resulted in any significant reductions in travel times. Instead,
we have seen the creation of a short-haul traffic jam which is stifling
travel and commerce."
He cited studies which project that by 1985 door-to-door travel
time between large cities will have reverted to the 1950 level because
of airport processing delays and extended surface travel time.
"The short-haul air transportation concept has the potential for
alleviating this situation by decentralizing air facilities and locating
them closer to the demand."
He said the West Coast Air Corridor Study had strong support from
Gordon C. Luce, state secretary for Business and Transportation, and
Joseph R. Crotti, director of the Department of Aeronautics.
A. W. Bayer, former chairman of the State Aeronautics Board, has
been named executive director of the study program by the Western
Conference of the Council of State Governments.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed into law a major bill in his
legislative program which "will both extend and improve the state's
compensatory education program for disadvantaged elementary school-age
youngsters. "
The measure (AB 938, Hom), which appropriates $9.5 million from the
state's general fund during fiscal 1969-70, extends the program another
and provides
three years/for the employment of special teachers on an average
statewide teachers' salary, rather than on an arbitrary basis.
In a statement, the governor said:
"I am pleased to sign this important legislation which was guided
through the legislature by Assemblyman Tom Hom and which has formed a
key part of our legislative program this year.
"The bill will both extend and improve the state's compensatory
education program for disadvantaged elementary school age youngsters
in California.
"I have long supported the principle of dealing with educational
deficiencies at the earliest possible age. Certainly, if we are to
achieve equal educational balance, we must support efforts to innovate
valid and meaningful programs from kindergarten through the sixth grade
level, as well as continue to encourage improvement in the professional
competency of those teaching in these programs.
"This legislation will help give our youngsters who, through no
fault of their own live in disadvantaged areas, a better opportunity for
a good start in school."
The bill requires cost effectiveness surveys and studies to improve
the achievement level of pupils in reading and mathematics, and provides
for improved teacher-pupil ratios.
"Educators and laymen alike," the governor said, "are agreed on the
important role compensatory education must play in the months and years
ahead. I am confident that the three year program provided by this
administration bill will see new strides forward in compensatory
education for our younger disadvantaged children."

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation which raises
salaries for members of the legislature and top state executives.
One bill (SB-281, Wedworth) increases the annual salary of members
of the Senate and Assembly from $16,000 to $19,200, effective January 4,
1971.
Governor Reagan said his action will help offset increases in the
cost of living. Legislators have not received salary increases during
the past three years, and by the time this bill takes effect, it will have
been more than four years.
Another measure (AB-662, Bagley) increases the state attorney
general's annual salary from $39,132 to $42,500, effective January 1, 1971
The bill also provides that the attorney general's salary will no longer
be based on the earnings of an associate justice of the California
Supreme Court.
Two other bills (SB-362 and SB-363) authored by Senate Finance
Committee Chairman Randolph Collier (D-Yreka) increase annual salaries
of the state's constitutional officers, top administrators in the
executive branch, members of various boards and commissions, and members
of the governor's staff.
Both measures were sponsored by the Commission on California State
Government Organization and Economy (Little Hoover Commission) which
recommended the wage changes following an extensive study of the salary
structure of the executive branch.
In its findings and recommendations, the Little Hoover Commission
said:
1.
"Salaries for state executives are low. The current compensation for
state executives is substantially below that of executives with similar
responsibilities in local government in California and in other state
governments. The state must offer salaries which are at least competitive
with those paid to top executives in other large governmental jurisdiction
"In 1965, in its report on Management Manpower Requirements, the
(Little Hoover) commission said:
""The highest salaries paid by the State of California are low
when compared to those offered not only by private industry, but
also by the State of New York, the Federal Government, and by
some municipal governments---including local governments in
California. The incongruous fact is that 85 percent to 90 perce
of all California state employees in the lower and middle ranks
are paid salaries comparable to those of employees doing
equivalent work in private industry. However, those men and
women who serve in positions at the upper management levels are,
by and large, paid salaries significantly below the compensation
of individuals doing comparable work elsewhere.'
#515
"The same is still true today.
"It is clear that it is time for California to meet the level of
compensation offered by comparable employers in the field of executive
salaries.
"The efficient and responsible operation of the executive branch
requires the employment of the most qualified personnel available.
"To continue to attract and retain high caliber personnel, the state
must offer reasonably competitive salaries.
2. "Low statutory executive salaries have resulted in acute compaction
of the top management structure.
"The current differential in compensation of superior and subordinate
state executives is grossly inadequate to recognize substantial difference
in responsibility, to the point where the difference in monthly salary
between the director and the chief deputy director of 14 state departments
is less than $2.
"Clearly, the current salary differentials between directors and
their deputies is inadequate.
3. "The salary limits available to the governor should be increased
in order to provide salaries for the governor's secretaries which are
comparable to those for other top level administrators. These limits will
permit a logical salary relationship with other statutory executive
salaries.
"We believe the findings of the commission are sound and the
recommendations justified and, in some instances, long overdue. A basic
building block of proper administration of the California state
government is a reasonable compensation plan for positions of
responsibility," the Little Hoover Commission report said.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has vetoed the
following bills:
AB 181 - Fenton
Authorizes the appointment of a traffic hearing
officer in municipal court districts having three
or more judges, to fix bail, arraign, or recommend
dismissals in cases involving specified state and
local traffic violations.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "I support
the concept of trained and well-
qualified hearing officers handling traffic offenses.
However, this bill does not provide any qualifications
for traffic hearing officer although the duties of tl
position are judicial in nature. I share the view
of the Judicial Council that minimum qualifications
should be established for any traffic hearing
officer-type position.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 921 - Dunlap
Permits a retired member of State Teachers' Retirement
System who has elected one of the optional settlement:
to revoke the option if he is divorced, had nominated
his previous spouse as his beneficiary, and the divor
decree makes a disposition of the allowance but does
not give the beneficiary an interest in the allowance
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The
financing of a retirement system
is a function of the costs which evolve from its
operation. The election of an option at time of
retirement is taken into consideration in determining
the cost of the retirement system, and the rates of
contributions which are required from the employees
and employers. If persons are permitted after
retirement to change their retirement arrangement,
it forces the retirement system to value all benefits
as if no option had been elected. It forces the
tieing up, actuarially, of the maximum sum of money
which would have been payable had no option been
elected. It will be obligating money unnecessarily
which could be used for funding benefit improvements
in the retirement plan. Furthermore, the legislation
is poorly drawn, and is subject to numerous
interpretations.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 1002 - Sieroty
Excludes psychological or physical conditions brought
about solely through the voluntary administration of
a narcotic or restricted dangerous drug from the type
of injury that must be reported by a hospital or
pharmacy to the police, marshal or sheriff.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The purpose
of this bill is to encourage injured
drug users to seek medical treatment. However there
is no evidence that the required medical reports
deter drug users from seeking medical assistance. In
view of the high rate of narcotic and drug abuse,
especially among our young people, law enforcement
needs every possible investigative weapon at its
disposal. Only through finding victims can law
enforcement agencies trace the drug peddler.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
-1-
AB 1231 - Z'berg
Provides that the Capitol ilding and Planning
Commission shall not be affected by Reorganization Pla
No. 1 of 1969.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "Reorganizatio
Plan No. 1 of 1969 transfers the
functions of the Capitol Building and Planning
Commission to the Department of General Services. I
can find no reason why the plan should be modified as
proposed by this bill.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 1320 - McGee
Revises the composition of the Board of Vocational
Nurse and Psychiatric Technician Examiners to provide
for, among other things, removal from the Board of
the public school administrator member.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "Removal of the
public school administrator member
would be detrimental to the functioning of the Board.
At the present time 65 of the 74 accredited vocational
nursing programs are offered by public schools and it
is anticipated that the newly developing psychiatric t
technician programs will also be offered by the
public school system. The knowledge and understanding
of a public school administrator is needed if the
Board is to assist in the training of health personnel
"Accordingly I am returning this bill unsigned." "
AB 1349 - Milias
This bill prescribes a procedure whereby membership
of a grand jury will include three members of the
preceding grand jury.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "There has
been no showing of need for
holdover members of the grand jury. The transition
process from one grand jury to another is now
adequately provided for by legal, judicial and other
official assistance. Prior reports of grand juries
are not only available but the law requires a response
to such reports by the departments affected.
Consequently, new jurors have available these reports
and responses for review.
" Practically speaking, the advantages of holdover jurors
are now available because the old and new grand juries
meet to discuss problems and old committee chairman
meet with new committee chairman to work on detailed
projects. There are potential abuses with holdover
members which are not outweighed by the alleged
advantages. Because of prior experience and desire,
holdover jurors could exercise undue influence over
new inexperienced jurors.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill without my
signature."
-2-
AB 1468 - Duffy
This bill establishes a C ference of County Medi-
Cal Consultants composed of a county Medi-Cal
consultant appointed by the Board of Supervisors
from each county in the state in which county
consultants perform prior authorization functions to
consult with the Department of Health Care Services
regarding prior authorization of services and scope
of services provided by such county consultants.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "I share the
view that the administrators of a
costly and massive program like Medi-Cal need to
avail themselves of the best expertise that physicians
and other health professionals can offer; the county
Medi-Cal consultants' knowledge and experience
constitute advisory resources which the Department
of Health Care Services now uses and will continue
to use. In fact, regularly scheduled meetings have
been held, advice has been requested, and encouragement
has been given to initiate recommendations. I do
not share the view, however, that the Administration
should be mandated to establish what amounts to a
second statutory charge of advising the Department.
"As I have indicated in my reorganization plans, state
government needs to be simplified, not made more
complex. The creation of new boards, commissions,
and conferences inevitably carries with it a
presumed need for staffing and related expense.
"Notwithstanding my disapproval of this legislation,
the expertise of the Medi-Cal consulatants must be
utilized to the greatest advantage. I have the
assurance of the Secretary for Human Relations that
this will continue to be done.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill without my
signature."
AB 1659 - Vasconcellos Requires, with respect to juvenile court orders
to detain a minor, that such order be justified
pursuant to prescribed provisions under existing law.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The need for
this bill is not apparent. The law
already provides that the court shall release a minor
unless certain conditions are met.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned."
AB 1660 - Vasconcellos Provides that a minor shall not be detained
during the continuance of a jurisdictional
hearing unless the juvenile court finds that specifie<
grounds for detention exist, and establishes a
procedure to determine whether such grounds exist.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The law
already provides that the court
shall release a minor from custody unless these
special conditions exist. This is an unneccessary
piece of legislation.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

AB - 1687 - Mobley
Prohibits the Director of
ocial Welfare from
requiring academic attainment beyond a bachelors
degree as a qualification for any administrative
position in a county welfare department. It
provides that the Department of Social Welfare is
responsible for reviewing medical examination and
determination as to medical eligibility of
applicants for aid to the blind, aid to the potential]
self-supporting blind, and aid to the needy disabled.
The bill eliminates county responsibility for costs
of such medical examinations.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "I object to
the provisions of Assembly Bill No.
1687 which transfer the cost of eye examinations for
applicants for Aid to the Blind and the medical
examinations of applicants of Aid to the Disabled
from the county to state government. This language
was amended in conference without the benefit of
committee review.
"The cost of the administration of public assistance
programs in California has traditionally been paid
by county governments under the state-county
partnership plan of administration. The present cost
sharing arrangement provides that county governments
shall pay 50 percent of the cost of administration
not borne by the federal government and that county
governments shall be responsible for less than 8
percent of the overall cost of assistance payments
for the two programs covered by this bill. It is
estimated that the adoption of this bill would
increase General Fund costs by $1,600,000 annually.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 1732 - Britschgi Requires each city or county building department to
retain an official copy of plans and specifications
for the life of each building which was required to
be designed by a professional engineer or designer
and for which a permit was issued.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "Although
the bill provides that city or
county building departments may prescribe fees to
pay the cost of retention of the material, it is
difficult to determine how such costs could be
analyzed for the unknown "life of the building,"
The mandatory retention of such material, particularly
in our large cities and counties will be very costly.
The retention of such plans should be the responsibili
of the building owner after completion is recorded
by the building department and the permit is closed.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "
AB 1804 - Dent
Provides that applications for federal funds for
various forms of student financial aid may be made
directly by the Board of Trustees of the California
State Colleges without prior approval of the
Department of Finance.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The purpose
of review of student assistance
fund request by the Department of Finance is to aid
in the estimating of future matching requirements
and administrative costs to the General Fund. A
review by the Department prior to submission to a
federal agency does afford an opportunity to
anticipate the magnitude of possible increases in
matching funds required, provided that the full reques
is granted by the federal agency. It should also
be noted that grant requests for funds anticipated
in the Governor's Budget are not subject to further
review by the Department of Finance pursuant to
Section 0911.1 of the State Administrative Manual.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

AB 2140 - Davis
Creates a Salmon and Steelnead Advisory Committee
within the Department of Fish and Game. The Committee
shall study and investigate all matters necessary
to develop a program for the preservation, protection,
restoration and enhancement of the salmon and steel-
head trout resources of the state.
Governor Reagan said, "This
REASON FOR VETO:/
administration is in strong
support of the preservation and
enhancement of our great anadromous fishery. For the
past several months the Department of Fish and Game
has completed a series of steps which vastly
strengthen our ability to effectively preserve this
outstanding resource.
"In my reorganization message I noted that the
Department of Fish and Game was moving to reorganize
itself to provide better coordination and improve
operation of our marine fisheries program. I have
approved the reorganization plans for the Department
which created the Marine Fisheries Branch and, more
pertinent to Assembly Bill No. 2140, an Anadromous
Fisheries Branch.
"In addition to these actions, the Director of Fish
and Game has already established a volunteer advisory
committee to participate with the Department to
accomplish the objectives stated in Assembly Bill No.
2140. It is my opinion that the creation of a
statutory committee as provided in this bill will
not only duplicate the programs already under way,
but will cause an unnecessary cost to the license
buyers and the taxpayers.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned."
AB 2222 - Lewis
This measure makes the Chancellor of the Califom ia
Community Colleges or his designee a non-voting ex
officio member of the Commission on Peace Officer
Standards and Training.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "There has
been no demonstration of any need
for violating the traditional concept of home rule
control which the present composition of the
Commission reflects. There has been no showing of
any breakdown in communication between the Commission
and representatives of the community colleges, since
the Commission has responsibilities other than the
training of peace officers. I question the need to
vest in the Chancellor or his designee a voice in the
control of police recruitment standards, department
counseling, and general police administration--matters
which are outside the Chancellor's area of expertise.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "
AB
2316 - Greene, Provides that student body funds may be used to
finance activities for noninstructional periods or
to augment or enrich school district programs.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The language
of Assembly Bill No. 2316 is not
clear. It could cover activities which normally are
considered a legitimate part of the educational
process and which are already provided for by public
funds with adequate controls. On the other hand, the
language could be interpreted to provide for the
financing of projects outside of the generally
accpted educational process, without appropriate
controls.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

AB 2342 - Wilson
Provides that when the holuer of an installment
sales contract institutes a suit to recover one or more
payments, he irrevocably elects his remedy and may not
thereafter repossess the goods and exercise power
of sale if the balance due is less than 50 percent of
the time sale price of the goods.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The Attorney
General's Office has advised me that
this bill as finally amended permits the very situation
which the bill sought to avoid when it was first
introduced in the legislature. Under existing law, a
company may sue a customer for the full amount of
the purchase, or he may repossess the merchandise.
Often when the merchandise is repossessed,
particularly in regard to the sale of used goods, the
company can make extra funds upon the repossession.
Under this bill, the company can not only make
additional funds but also can collect up to 50 percent
of the purchase price, plus attorneys fees and court
costs, besides repossessing the property.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 3 - Alquist
Deletes and amends the present Elections Code provision
dealing with delegates and candidates in the presidenti
primary. The bill provides that candidates on the
ballot will be those found by the Secretary of State
to be recognized candidates throughout the nation
or California for the office of President of the
United States or those whose names are placed on
ballot by means of a petition. The bill permits any
such candidate to withdraw by filing an affidavit that
he is not a candidate.
REASON FOR VETO: See Press Release No. 510.
SB 39 - Carrell
Revises the total monthly income permitted for
admission to children's centers. It requires the
Superintendent of Public Instruction to annually
adjust eligibility figures for admission to such cente
to reflect changes in cost of living as indicated
by the State Personnel Board findings as to
salaries in private industry and state service.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "I agree that
there is a need to adjust the
eligibility requirements for admission to children's
centers. However, the responsibility for making
adjustments in such requirements, should rest with
the legislature. This bill transfers such responsibil
to the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned." "
SB 77 - Stiern
Appropriates all unallocated and unexpended funds,
if any, available for the Miller-Unruh Basic Reading
Act to be used for a summer elementary school reading
instruction program.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "These
funds have already been committed
for educational pruposes by the provision of
Assembly Bill No. 606 (Chapter 786, Statutes of 1969)
and the Budget Act of 1969.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

SB 91 - Mills
Appropriates $35,119 from
e General Fund to the
Department of Rehabilitation to augment staff for
the prpose of obtaining additional vending stands
and food service operations and placing blind
operators in such locations.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The 1969-70
Budget provides for sufficient
additional staff to support this worthwhile program.
T1 e additional augmentation provided for in SB 91 is
not necessary.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 100 - Song
Requires public entities to give notice to claimants
of the statute of limitations applicable to lawsuits
against public agencies. The bill also allows late
claims to be filed where the claimant did not have
knowledge of the time limit provided the public
entity had actual notice within the time limit of the
incident giving rise to the claim and the entity is
not prejudiced.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "I object to
the provision of the bill which allow
any late claimant to file a claim stating that he did
not have knowledge of the claim filing requirements.
This amendment would encourage the filing of late
claims and could in effect eliminate the claim
filing requirement. This amendment and its
consequences go far beyond the original recommendation
of the Law Revision Commission. "
"Accordingly, I am returnig the bill unsigned."
SB 111 - Dymally
Requires that by January 1, 1970, the Los Angeles
Coliseum Commission be increased by two members of the
legislature, one appointed by the Senate Committee
on Rules, the other by the Speaker of the Assembly.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "SB 111 is
virtually identical to AB 93 which
I vetoed last year on the grounds that unilateral
amendment of the existing joint powers agreement
would upset the present membership balance of the
agencies who manage and operate the Coliseum Complex,
and that legislative members sitting on the
Commission constitute a violation of the constitutional
requirement of separation of powers. I believe that
these grounds are still valid reasons for not
approving this bill.
"In addition there is a question whether the State,
as one party to the contract, can legally force a
unilateral change upon Los Angeles County and the
city of Los Angeles. Also, the holders of outstanding
bonds may have the right to object to such a
unilateral change in the composition of the Commission
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 158 - Beilenson
Requires that a driver of a motor vehicle involved
in an accident originating from the operation of a
motor vehicle on private property open to public for
parking or fuel, rather than only any street or
highway, which accident results in property damage
in excess of $200 or in bodily injury or in death,
report such accident in the prescribed manner.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The Department
of Motor Vehicles estimates that
this bill would require eight to ten additional
employees. During consideration of SB 158, the reporting minimum for all
accidents was raised to $300. This would have substantially reduced the
number of accidents reported to the Department and the increased workload
generated by this bill would have been balanced by the decreased number of
total accidents. However, the increased limit was stricken from the bill
and the reporting limit now remains at $200. I cannot support the
workload costs created by this bill. Accordingly, I am returning this bill
unsigned."
#517
SB 326 - Grunsky
Provides that regularly employed coroners and deputy
coroners are peace officers and specifies their
primary duties, and their authority as peace officers.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "A major study
was completed and legislation
enacted in 1968 to reduce and restrict the categories
of persons who should be peace officers. This
legislation adds various new categories. Serious doubt
has been expressed regarding the need for additional
peace officer classes especially so soon after such a
major revision. I have learned that the legislature i
going to continue its study of this subject in the
interim.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 374 - Short
Authorizes establishment of bid processing service
& Zenovich
by subcontractors and prime contractors.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "Substantial
questions have been raised regarding
the Constitutionality of this proposal. The Attorney
General has rendered an opinion detailing his views of
the applicability of federal anti-trust laws to
bid depository operations; he states that this bill
would be in conflict with those federal statutes and,
therefore, unconstitutional.
"The Legislative Counsel also rendered an opinion on
this bill which raises the possibility of unconstitu-
tionality on the same grounds although his opinion is
not as positive as that of the Attorney General.
"Many letters of support and opposition have been
received, both on the merits of the bill and on the
law. However, in view of the problem of constitutional
ity, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 360 - Collier
Appropriates $13,348,647 from General Fund to the
Department of Public Health for purposes of hospital
construction under provisions of California Hospital
Survey and Construction Act.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "Last year when
I approved legislation which provided
$16 million for hospital construction I reaffirmed the
State's policy that the responsibility for funding
future hospital construction must rest at the local
level. I have already approved SB 334 (Chapter 970,
Statutes of 1969) which authorizes the State to
guarantee loans for hospital construction. Since this
alternate method of state assistance for such con=
struction is now available, I am returning Senate
Bill No. 360 unsigned."
SB 468 - Bradley
Requires the Department of Corrections to reimburse
counties and cities for the cost of care and mainten-
ance of parolees held in county or city jails, industri
farms or road camps. The bill requires that the
Secretary of the Human Relations Agency set forth
rules and regulations under which the above
reimbursements shall be made.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "SB 468
would mandate a new "service" of
relatively low priority at a cost to the State of
over $500,000 per year.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
-8-
#517
SB 494 - Alquist
Increases contribution of blic employer by 0.14
percent of the compensation paid to the members.
Deletes optional settlement one under Public
Employees' Retirement System and instead provides
that the accumulated contributions not paid as
retirement benefits to a retired member prior to
his death be paid to his designated beneficiary.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "SB 494 adds
annual state cost of $1,500,000.
The necessary funds to implement this proposal have
not been included in the 1969-70 Budget. The
benefit improvement is not of such significance as
would warrant priority over other demands for state
funds in excess of that presently budgeted.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 511 - McCarthy
Provides for special license for educational (school)
psychologists under the "Psychology Licensing Law."
Specifies that persons who are licensed under such
law can perform functions authorized by this act.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The
qualifications required for the
educational psychologist license category are too
low to afford adequate protection to the public. The
bill provides recognition to a class of persons who
perform psychology functions but have lesser
professional qualifications than those required for a
full psychologist's license. For instance, they
could practice psychotherapy without supervision of a
fully qualified psychologist. Creation of a
special license in this field is further
proliferation of license categories, which is not
in the public interest.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

#517
SB 564 - Daukmejian
Would confer "law enforcement member" status
under the Public Employees' Retirement
System on institution fire chiefs and
institution firemen employed by state
agencies other than the Division of Forestry.
It is one of a number of bills presented to
this session of the legislature to provide
similar status for various other groups of
state and local agency employees.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"The extension of such
"law enforcement member" status to groups
of employees beyond those traditionally
recognized as entitled thereto, such as
local policemen and fire fighters and high-
way patrolmen is the subject of a pending
task force study report. The tentative
recommendations are that there be no addi-
tions to the member groups now entitled to
law enforcement member benefits.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
SB 744 - Collier
Appropriates $600,000 from the State Water
Quality Control Fund to the State Water
Resources Control Board for a loan to the
City of Healdsburg for construction of
sewage facilities.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"The State Water Resources
Control Board has the responsibility of ad-
ministering the State Water Quality Control
Fund and had adopted rules and regulations
following public hearings to fairly determine
priorities among applicants for the avail-
able funds. Loans should continue to be
made in accordance with this established
procedure. Approval of this legislation
would tend to upset the orderly procedure
by which the needs in this program area
have been heretofore met.
"The State Water Resources Control Board
has advised me that a loan to Healdsburg
could jeopardize the solution of the sewage
problems in the Lake Tahoe Basin because of
the limited resources available in the Water
Quality Control Fund.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed.
SB 775 - Teale
Offers State and University employees a third
chance to select OASDI coverage. It also
coordinates the Legislators' Retirement
System with Social Security as of January 1,
1964.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"I question the need to
provide state and university employees a
third opportunity to elect OASDI coverage.
This bill will require increased state
retirement contributions of approximately
$150,000 per year.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed."

SB 805 - Burgener
Provides additional llowance, as specified,
for support of driver training instruction
for physically handicapped and educationally
handicapped minors. Requires training to
be given by qualified teachers, as prescribed.
Delcares legislative intent in regard to
such driver training instruction.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"The author has requested
that I not approve Senate Bill No. 805 be-
cause it would chapter out provisions for
special education contained in Assembly Bill
No. 606 (Chapter 786, Statutes of 1969).
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
SB 843 - Beilenson
Amends the Pharmacy Act to permit licensees
of the Pharmacy Board to sell prophylactics
to unmarried persons 18 years of age and
younger and permit persons to give pro-
phylactics to each other as long as such
prophylactics comply with standards pre-
scribed by law or adopted by the board
pursuant to law.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"I am certainly aware of
the high incidence of venereal disease,
particularly among our young people.
However, I seriously question whether the
unlimited availability of prophylactics will
solve this admittedly difficult problem.
The moral issue inherent in this bill must
outweigh whatever medical advantages which
might result from its approval.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
SB 865 - Short
Appropriates $1,900,000 to the Department of
Education, in augmentation of appropriations
for support and other purposes, to be appor-
tioned by the Department for the purpose of
the expansion of the enrollment of severely
handicapped minors and multi-handicapped
minors in development centers for handicapped
minors.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"Any expansion on a pri-
ority basis with other governmental expense
items during hearings on the budget bill.
"The augmentation now provided in this bill
was requested on March 10, 1969, by the
Department of Education for the 1969-70 Budget.
This was well after known available funds
were allocated on a priority basis for the
1969-70' year. Accordingly, I am returning the
bill unsigned."
SB 883 - Collier
Establishes and increases various fees and
privilege taxes for commercial and sport
fishing for salmon and steelhead. It re-
quires that the gross revenue which is
deposited in the Fish and Game Preservation
Fund from some of these revenues shall be
matched by an annual appropriation from the
General Fund to be used for salmon preserva-
tion and restoration programs.
REASON FOR VETO: "Governor Reagan said:
SB 883 provides that
approximately $215,000 from the General
Fund would be dedicated annually for a special
fisheries program more appropriately financed by a special fund. I have
-11-
#517
SB 883 (continued)
already approved AB 2232 which will provide
an additional $800,000 in revenue for the
Fish and Game Preservation Fund through
increases in certain commercial fishing fees
and licenses.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
SB 916 - Petris
Sanctions privately organized projects for
the control, prevention and rehabilitation
of delinquency, which are community-based
and provide housing and out-of-home counsel-
ing for both delinquents and those showing
tendencies for delinquency. Authorizes them
to receive payment for youths placed in the
projects on probation and parole. Provides
21-year age limit on those living in project.
Exempts operation of residential facilities
from licensing provisions for facilities for
the care of children under 16 years.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"This bill provides for
the sanction of privately organized projects
for the control and rehabilitation of delin-
quents in a group home setting. However, it
would exempt the operation of the residential
facility from licensing provisions for
facilities that care for children under 16
years of age. SB 916 would require the
Department of Youth Authority to set standards
and approve projects that are established
under the bill but makes no provision for
the additional cost of implementing standards
and approving projects. Accordingly, I am
returning the bull unsigned.'
SB 949 - Short
Provides that a minor who is arrested for a
felony without a warrant may petition the
court for an order sealing all the records
in the case if no complaint was filed after
the arrest. It makes it mandatory on the
court to grant relief if the court finds the
person is eligible for such relief. The
section would apply to arrests made before
as well as after the effective date of the
bill.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"SB 949 would extend the
concept of sealing of records, presently
limited to misdemeanors, to felony offenses.
Since the study of sealing of records is
still continuing, further legislation in this
subject area should be deferred until the
study is completed.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
SB 1017 - Lagomarsino
Exempts from the sales tax tangible personal
property incorporated into an aircraft to
be used or operated by the manufacturer as
a common carrier for outsize cargo.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"Applies to one corpora-
tion. It is an extension of an existing
exemption for a property incorporated into
an aircraft which is to be leased to a common
carrier. The purpose of the existing exemp-
tion is to protect the California aircraft
industry when it is dealing with third
parties. The extension of the exemption
-12-
#517
SB 1017 (continued,
proposed by this bi
is not consistent with
that purpose since it would cover a situation
in which a California manufacturer is dealing
with itself as a common carrier, rather than
dealing with a third party. Moreover, this
provision would exempt from tax property
purchased by a manufacturer for its own use.
"It is estimated that the exemption proposed
by this bill will result in a revenue loss
of $480,000 to the state and $120,000 to
local government.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
SB 1080 - Walsh
Provides that final completion and acceptance
of a project shall not await settlement of
legal action against the state or employee
thereof, to which the contractor is not a
party.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"This bill does not accom-
plish the intended purpose of precluding
withholding percentage payment on contracts
under the State Contract Act or State Col-
lege Contract Act because of pending legal
action against the contracting agency or
employee thereof to which the contractor
is not a party. Any change which removes
the safeguard the state presently has by
withholding a percentage of the contract
price, until the contractor is absolutely
cleared of a possibility of a third party
suit relating to any legal action pending
against the state would not be acceptable.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
SB 1147 - Rodda
Amends the Education provision dealing with
the right of teachers to join employee
organizations of their own choice and to
have a voice in the formulation of educational
policy, adds that academic senates and
faculty councils established by a school
district in a junior college may represent
the faculty in making recommendations on
academic and professional matters to the
administration and governing boards of the
district.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The
Board of Governors of the
Community Colleges, has given a high priority
to the development of the best possible means
of providing members of junior college
faculties with an equitable means of
communicating their respective views on a
statewide basis. It would be undesirable to
mandate a specific approach at this time
without first considering approaches recommend
by the Board of Governors.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
-13-
#517
SB 1165 - Dymally
Appropriates $500,000 to the Department of Social
Welfare for preschool education.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "The 1969-70
Budget already contains $16,480,000
for preschool education, funded one-fourth from the
General Fund and three-fourths from Federal funds.
"The preschool program has proven to be an
effective method of preparing children of needy
families for kindergarten. However, I believe that
all program increases should be considered at the
same time as part of the overall budget process.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 1168 - Dymally
Requires school districts to maintain for each
employee a single, separate personnel file
containing all matter which may serve as a basis
for affecting the status of his employment except for
matters obtained or prepared for the purpose of
initial employment. The bill makes such file open
for inspection of the employee and requires that
the school district give copies of such records to
the employee upon request.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "Senate Bill
No. 1168 has potential for
impairing the effectiveness and the validity of the
merit system for securing and promoting school
employees. The requirement that ratings and
examination papers be made available to the employee
may tend to inhibit objective evaluation of candidates
for promotion by raters and screening committees.
"The bill also imposes extra costs on each school
district. The financial burden on the larger school
districts would be substantial.
"The subject of this bill should be considered again
next year in order that the interests of both the
employee and the school district can be considered
together.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned."
SB 1185 - Coombs
Increases membership of the State Building Standards
Commission from 10 to 12. The bill also provides
that the governor shall appoint one electrical
contractor or engineer and one mechanical contractor
or engineer to the commission, and specifies that
terms of new members expire January 1, 1972 and
January 1, 1974.
Governor Reagan said, "Any
REASON FOR VETO:/
increase in the membership of the
State Building Standards Commission
must be deferred until there is an opportunity to
more fully assess the Commission's role in state
government.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 1258 - Moscone
Declares that the Board of Pilot Commissioners and the
Pilotage Rate Committee for the Bays of San Francisco,
San Pablo and Suisun shall not be affected by
Reorganization Plan No. 1 and that specified
provisions of law relating to these bodies shall
remain in effect notwithstanding any other provisions
of law. Eliminates provisions limiting hearings
and reports by Pilotage Rate Committee to biennial
reports. Establishes procedure for hearings.
-14-
SB 1258 - Moscone
ASON FOR VETO: Governor agan said, "The functions
(con't.)
of the Board of Pilot Commissioners
and pPilotage Rate Committee can and should be
transferred to the local governments of the bay area.
During discussions with representatives of the San
Francisco Bay Bar Pilots Association it was agreed
that the termination date for the Board and the
Committee would be extended for a period not to exceed
three years. In addition it was agreed that these
two entities would be placed under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Harbors and Watercraft during
the time that the local government structure was being
established. SB 1258 does not provide for a terminate
date before which transfer of these functions to
local government takes effect nor does it place the
Board and the Committee within the jurisdiction of
the Department of Harbors and Watercraft. I have,
therefore, vetoed this bill and urge that the nine
bay area counties begin formulating plans to operate
both the Board of Pilot Commissioners and the Pilotage
Rate Committee at the local level.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 1262 - Wedworth
Requires that, in addition to the 50 cents allocated
to counties for each application for a homeowner's
property tax exemption, the difference between such
amount and the actual cost to the county of
processing each application, as certified by the
county auditor, shall be paid to the county, but
not to exceed 90 cents for each certified application.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "SB 1262 contai
a potential additional General Fund
cost of $1 million in 1969-70. No provision was
made for this added cost in the Budget Act of 1969.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 1432 - Short
Provides for an allowance to school districts for
education of educationally handicapped minors who
reside in the district and for whom adequate
educational facilities do not exist and cannot
reasonably be provided, such allowance to be paid
to parent or guardian for tuition at public or
private nonsectarian school.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, "I have
already approved AB 95 (Chapter 1,
Statutes of 1969), a comprehensive measure which also
deals with the payment of tuition allowance to
parents of handicapped children. Since this bill
and AB 95 amend different sections of the
Education Code, it is necessary that SB 1432 be
vetoed to avoid any possible legal conflicts.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill without my
signature."
SB 687 Dolwig
Would extend eligibility for the incentive retire-
ment allowance to judges over age 70 who have served
over 30 years as a judge and have contributed to the
Judges' Retirement Fund since the enactment of the
Judges' Retirement Law.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said: "The
incentive retirement provisions
of the Judges' Retirement Law have proven to be an
effective method of encouraging judges to retire at
age 70. Senate Bill 687 tends to defeat the incen-
tive retirement provisions by permitting judges to
work beyond age 70 without losing the benefits that
accrue with retirement at age 70.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed the Family Law Act.
calling it a step towards removing some of the trauma between a
couple which is harmful not only to their children but also to society
as a whole.
The measure, S.B. 252, authored by Senator Donald Grunsky,
(R-Watsonville) and James A. Hayes (R-Long Beach) calls for revision
of state divorce laws.
"Divorce is a tragic thing and while we cannot eliminate it
or its causes through legislation, this bill will do much to remove
the sideshow elements of many divorce cases.
"I believe it is a step towards removing the
acrimony and bitterness between a couple that is harmful not only to
their children but also to society as a whole.
"While this bill contains some technical flaws which
should be corrected through legislation--and the authors assure me that
toward correcting
theywill be--it goes a long way
some abuses in our present
system," the governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan, emphasizing that his 1969-70 state
budget already provides for the establishment of three new regional
mental retardation centers in the state, announced today he has signed
a bill (AB-148 - McDonald) which echo's his earlier budget action.
In signing the measure, the governor said he appreciates "the
legislative endorsement of the administration's program in this vital
area"
However, he emphasized that his action on the bill is strictly
perfunctory since his current budget already appropriates $5,040,439 for
operation of mental retardation centers, including funds to establish
three new regional centers.
Last year's budget for the program was $2,434,868.
Based on the budget act and the existing statutory authorization
the Department of Public Health has already signed a contract with a
local organization to operate one of the centers, has forwarded a
signed contract to a local group for the second, and is negotiating
with the third.
One of the new centers, the far northern, will officially open
September 20. It is based in Redding with a branch in Chico and will
serve a nine-county area in Northeastern California.
A second, the tri-county center, will serve Santa Barbara,
Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties. Public health officials expect
the center to open in November.
Negotiations are now under way with the children's hospital
in Orange County to serve that area. The tentative schedule calls for
the center to be in operation early next year.
The three new centers bring to nine the number authorized.
Four centers were authorized by the last Governor's budget. One was
opened in San Diego last November. Opening of others in Sacramento,
San Jose, and Fresno was delayed by litigation which was subsequently won
by the state. The centers are now in the process of recruiting staff
and getting started.
The far-northern center will serve Siskiyou, Modoc, Lassen,
Shasta, Trinity, Tehema, Glenn and Butte counties under arrangements
already concluded and also is expected to serve Plumas County.

California took another major step toward the control of noise
pollution today when Governor Ronald Reagan signed legislation
requiring the adoption of airport noise standards.
"This legislation should accomplish several major objectives,
not the least of which is bringing relief to ears of people who live
near airports," the governor said. "It will also provide an incentive
to airlines and aircraft manufacturers to work for the development
of quieter aircraft, and will alert airport management to consider
the effect of noisy airport operations when building new facilities
or expanding existing airports."
The bill (AB 645, Foran) resulted from interim hearings on airport
noise held by his committee in 1968.
The bill, which carries an urgency clause and will take effect
immediately, requires that the State Department of Aeronautics adopt
noise standards not in conflict with federal law for all airports
operating under departmental permit.
Governor Reagan shortly will announce the appointment of a seven-
member advisory committee to assist the Aeronautics Department, under
Director Joseph R. Crotti, in drawing up the noise regulations, which
will go into effect on January 1, 1971.
After that date, violations of the noise standards will become
misdemeanors carrying a $1,000 fine levied against the aircraft
operator.
AB 645 received the active support of State Secretary for
Business and Transportation, Gordon C. Luce, who said that a number
of school districts have found that aircraft noise increases the cost
of education in the vicinity of airports.
"In the Los Angeles area alone, about 40 schools are subjected
daily to aircraft noise and one has been closed because of it,"
Luce pointed out.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed five bills
(AB-68, AB 638, AB 720, AB 1719, and SB 426) which authorize construction
of various local flood control projects in the state,
In a statement, the governor said:
"For some time, this administration has been concerned that the
beneficiaries of flood control projects such as these, ones who receive
flood protection, have not participated in their financing. It is
inequitable for the general taxpayer of California to bear the costs of
these projects without requiring local interest to carry their fair
share of the financial load.
"During the past 10 years the state has expended over $138 million
for acquisition of lands, easements and rights of way and utility
relocations in connection with flood control projects.
"The question of local financing of the non-federal costs must be
resolved.
"I am today publicly giving notice to the members of the legislature
that my administration will propose a solution to this question next
January. Until this question is resolved, no further project
authorization bills will receive favorable consideration.
"The Task Force on Efficiency and Economy recommended this course
of action, as has the Department of Water Resources, the State Reclamation
Board, and the Department of Finance. If a flood control project is
needed, the direct beneficiaries should be willing to pay a portion of
the cost.
"Our proposal will, no doubt cause considerable debate when it is
presented to the legislature. Nonetheless, this issue must be faced and
resolved at the earliest possible time, " the governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that establishes
a system of innovative schools designed to test and put into practice
new and more effective methods of teaching reading and mathematics
in California's elementary schools.
The measure (AB 1035, Monagan) creates a nine-member non-salaried
Educational Research Commission to administer the pilot program.
"Although California leads the nation in its commitment to
education, we continue to be faced with an intolerable drop-out rate
in our schools," Governor Reagan said. "Public schools also confront
charges that many graduates of our present system are not truly
educated and are ill-equipped for advanced study.
"The innovative schools established under this bill will provide
a creative atmosphere in which extensive research may be made in
testing the effectiveness of educational methods currently being used
and to develop and test new classroom techniques.
"The goal of these programs is to help guarantee that California
will receive better results for the billions of dollars the taxpayers
devote to education."
Pupils in the innovative programs to be established by the end of
1972 would attend the classes on a voluntary basis, within the regular
school environment. Enrollment will be limited initially to grades 1
to 3 and the emphasis will be on improving the teaching of reading and
mathematics.
"Early achievement in these basic subjects is the key to learning
success in the higher grades," Governor Reagan said.
The innovative schools will be able to explore and test successful
teaching methods already used in other states, by private institutions
and by educational programs utilized in private industry.
"If our school system is to produce the highly-motivated, intell-
igent and educationally advanced students that today's technical society
demands, we must discover and institute improved methods of teaching in
the public schools," the governor said. "The development of our
current high level of industrial technology required private industry
to adopt and apply new and scientific methods. Our public schools must
demonstrate this same adaptability."
Speaker Monagan's legislation is an important first step toward
developing space age techniques for teaching a space age generation.
Two members of the Educational Research Commission would be
appointed by the Speaker, two by the Senate Rules Committee and five
members would be appointed by the Board of Education.
The legislation directs the State Board of Education to finance
for the money from California's allotment of federal education funds
under Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
The initial allocation for the innovative school program would be
$512,000 in 1969-70. This would rise to $2,284,000 in 1970-71 and
$4,459,000 in 1971-72.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has vetoed
the following bills:
AB 130 - Karabian
Provides that school districts may
establish and maintain a summer
program of tutoring, counseling,
and other academic assistance for
potential dropouts. The bill directs
the State Board of Education to
allocate not less than 25 percent.
of fund received pursuant to Title
VIII of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, to support
such summer dropout programs.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan
said:
"AB 130, by specifying that at least
25% of Title VIII ESEA funds shall
be used for a summer dropout program
damages the effectiveness of programs
already in operation that now rely
on these funds.
Accordingly, I am returning the bill
unsigned."
AB 723 - Deddeh
Repeals the Military and Veterans
Code provision requiring the denial
of a loan application of a female
veteran because of a loan acquired
by her husband, and permits the
purchase of successive properties
with Cal-Vet loans in prescribed
cases.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"This bill largely
duplicates the provisions of AB 596
(Chapter 1591, Statutes of 1969),
which I have already signed. Approval
of this bill is therefore unnecessary"
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill
unsigned.'
AB 740 - Ryan
Enacts the Teacher Licensing and
Preparation Law of 1969. It transfers
the credential issuance and renewal
administration from the State Board
of Education to a newly created
Commission for teacher Preparation and
Licensing.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
There is little
doubt that a major overhaul is very
much needed in the areas of teacher
preparation, evaluation, and creden-
tialling. Scarcely a voice has been
raised to the contrary. It is also
obvious that it would be desirable
to develop, as is stated in AB 740,
licensing regulations which are
'flexible, realistic, responsible, and
simple.' It is also clear that the
needs for improvement are so great
that impatience is present in many
quarters. =
#527
AB 740 - Contd.
"In view of the above, it is perhaps not
surprising that responsible and informed
people of the greatest goodwill argue with
intensity on both sides, for and against,
AB 740. Within its many broad, complex,
and innovative provisions, there are some
things to please most. There are also some
things which give concern to many. I veto
this bill at this time not because I wish
to discourage attempts at change in this
area; on the contrary, I encourage change in th
the area covered by the bill. In my charge
to the Commission on Educational Reform,
teacher preparation and credentialling were
stated to be of high priority.
"Because so many responsible educators
report sections of the bill which they 'don't"
understand, because of elements within the
bill which are seen by some as contradic-
tory, because there is a major question as
to whether testing for measuring the quali-
fications of teachers is a hope for the
future or a proven dinosaur of the past,
because there are questions regarding the
jurisdiction and responsibility of the State
Board of Education in its relationship to
the commission suggested by AB 740, and,
finally, because, where there are so many
questions, it would be so much better to
develop clear answers before, and not after,
a bill becomes law, I veto this measure--
but express my hopes that the legislature,
the Commission on Educational Reform, and
others will see the basic elements of AB
740 as provocative and worthy of study and
discussion. I hope that AB 740 will serve
as a stimulus and that its veto will not
serve to discourage consideration of change
in an area needing it badly, and I assume
that by the next legislative session we will
have a strong consensus around a clearly
understood and well developed program of
legislation--or changes in policy and pro-
cedures within present departments and
boards to improve the preparation, evalua-
tion, and certification of teachers.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed.
AB 764 - Chappie
Amends the Government Code provisions en-
acted in 1968 relating to access to public
buildings by physically handicapped persons,
primarily to have the provisions apply to
buildings which are altered, remodeled, or
renovated with state or local government
funds. It also adds provisions that the
State Building Standards Commission shall
adopt rules and regulations, which may in-
clude a schedule of fees to pay the cost
of enforcement, and provides that the
Commission rather than the Director of Gen-
eral Services shall enforce the act where
state or any public school funds are
utilized.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"I question the transfer
of functions from the Department of General
Services to the State Building Standards
Commission.

"Under present law the Director of General
Services had delegated responsibilities
concerning this subject to the State
Building Standards Commission, which has
adopted rules and regulations, including
enforcement procedures. Such responsibility
should continue to be assigned to the
Director of General Services. These powers
need to be retained with the Director in
order to continue the flexibility needed to
accomplish the responsibilities involved in
this program.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."

Would abolish the present 19 member Calif.

create a 5-member California State Exposi-
tion and Fair Board. The board membership
would consist of the State Controller, the
State Treasurer and the 3 members of the
State Public Works Board. The bill would
require that the 'permanent exposition' and
an "annual fair" be constructed, operated
and maintained by a private corporation
through a contractual agreement with the
Board.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"The State Exposition and
Fair Committee is currently carrying on
active negotiations for the transfer of
the operation of Cal Expo to a private
corporation. I believe that these negotia-
tions would be adversely affected if the
State Exposition and Fair Committee were
replaced by the proposed California Exposi-
tion and Fair Board at this time. I do not
believe that this change is in the public
interest.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed.'
AB 871 = McCarthy
Would increase the survivor allowance upon
death of a member of the Public Employees'
Retirement System after attaining eligibi-
lity for retirement from 50% to 65% of the
allowance which the member would have re-
ceived had he retired.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"This bill would result
in an additional annual cost to the State
of $1,000,000. The additional funds to
implement this proposal were not included
in the budget. While the added benefit
may not be without merit, it cannot be
given sufficient priority among the many
additional demands for state funds to
warrant its approval at this time.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
AB 969 - MacDonald
Appropriates $75,000 from the Motor Vehicle
Fund to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles for the
establishment of a branch office in the
Simi Valley-Thousand Oaks area in Ventura
County. Establishment of this new branch
office will require 7 to 10 additional
employees. The office would have an annual
operating cost of $50,000 to $60,000.

AB 969 - MacDonald
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
(contd.)
"Service to the area in
question is now provided by Department of
Motor Vehicles offices at Oxnard, Ventura
and Canoga. The additional cost of estab-
lishing this new office is not warranted at
this time.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed. =
AB 1064 - Powers
This bill places employees of the California
Disaster Office under the State Civil Service
System.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
" Such civil service status
was also proposed in AB 1729, which involved
a comprehensive revision of the California
Disaster Act. AB 1729 was referred to interim
study by the Legislature and will be reintro-
duced, including the civil service provisions,
at the next session of the Legislature. Since
it is desirable that changes in the Disaster
Office, including personnel status and polic-
ies, be effected as part of a coordinated
and integrated program, the partial change
involved in AB 1064 should be deferred and
incorporated in the more complete legislative
measure being prepared for the 1970 session.
It is noted that in the meantime Disaster
Office employees are protected under the
interim merit system.
= I have discussed this with Robert Carlson,
the President of the California State Employ-
ees' Association, and have assured him of
my support for civil service status for
Disaster Office employees.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed.'
AB 1148 - Deddeh
Provides that certain teachers may receive
retirement credit for portions of out-of-
state teaching service.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"In 1967 I vetoed a simi-
lar proposal which was somewhat more exten-
sive in its scope. The cost to the State of
AB 1148 is estimated by its proponents to
be $91,000.000. The benefits proposed in
this bill accrued from service outside of
the State of California and the correspond-
ing benefit was to the residents of those
states. Therefore I cannot ask the taxpayers
of California to assume their cost.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed.
AB 1248 - Monagan
Increases, for the 1970-71 and 1971-72 fiscal
years, the number of available scholarships
under the state competitive scholarship pro-
gram from 2 percent to 3 percent of the
number of California high school graduates
of the previous year. It increases such
percentage to 4 percent for 1972-73 and the
fiscal years thereafter.
-4-
#527
AB 1248 - Monagan
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
(contd.)
"Although the State
Scholarship program is extremely worthwhile,
the bill nevertheless would require an addi-
tional State expenditure of $2.6 million in
1970-71. The long range costs are even more
substantial with an estimated additional
annual cost of $16.3 million by 1974-75.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed. II
AB 1348 - Vasconcellos
Provides that gross income for purposes of
California's Personal Income Tax Law does
not include any amount received from the
state pursuant to rebate for homeowners'
property tax exemption for the 1963-69 fiscal
year.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"There is no reason why the
normal and equitable "tax benefit rule" should
not apply to this type of refund just as it
applies to all others. This bill, if approved,
would result in a net revenue loss to the
State of $4,500,000 in 1969-70.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed."
AB 1544 - Zenovich
Requires the Department of Military and
Veterans Affairs to establish contract amor-
tization schedules which take into account
low income and earning ability for the
purpose of home or farm purchase under the
Veterans' Farm and Home Purchase Act of 1943.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"For some years the Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs has been administer-
ing an extended-term loan program for those
veterans with below-average incomes, by
extending Cal-Vet loan terms beyond the usual
23 years up to the statutory limit of 40 years.
This bill confers no additional authority,
imposes no additional limitation, nor aids
the Department of Veterans Affairs in admin-
istering its extended-term loan program.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
AB 1579 - Dunlap
Exempts from the provisions making it un-
professional conduct for a doctor to prescribe
specified dangerous drugs without prior
examination of a patient or medical indication
therefor, the prescribing of such drugs by
prescription to any agent or employee of law
enforcement agency, including the California
State Board of Pharmacy, or drug manufacturer
for specified investigative activities.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"I seriously question the
need for drug manufacturers being given
authority to enforce State laws relating to
drugs. This is a matter that can be best
handled by duly constituted regulatory
agencies such as the California State Board
of Pharmacy.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed.
#527
AB 1582 - Dunlap
Increases the number of judges in the Solano
County Superior Court from 3 to 4.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"The Judicial Council
reports that the Solano County Superior
Court will need 3.2 judges to carry its
projected caseload through 1969-70. The
Solano court's workload statistics do not
support the need for another judge at this
time."
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed.
AB 1640 - Bagley
Transfers existing sections in the Govern-
ment Code relating to hotel and mobilehome
occupancy taxes to the Revenue and Taxation
Code. The bill also specifies that the
hotel occupancy tax shall be the same rate
as the general sales tax.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"The setting of the hotel
occupancy tax rate is a prerogative of local
government. There is no compelling reason
why the State should fix the hotel occupancy
tax rate."
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
AB 1860 - Z'berg
Permits the Department of Veterans Affairs
to establish a waiting list and commitment
system for granting loans when funds are not
immediately available.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"On several occasions
during the past 10 years, Cal-Vet loan
commitments have been issued by the Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs when loan funds were
not immediately available. Most recently
the Department has been issuing loan commit-
ments on loan requests since April of this
year. This bill confers no additional
authority, imposes no additional limitation,
nor aids the Department of Veterans Affairs
in administering its loan commitment program."
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
AB 1930 - Sieroty
Makes a number of substantive changes in
the law relating to child care services and
children's center construction.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"It isn't possible to
determine the total fiscal impact of AB 1930.
Changes in this important program area must
of necessity be capable of proper fiscal
evaluation.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed. II
AB 1941 - Chappie
Changes the signature requirements on a
petition to form a new county from 65 to 15
percent of the electors in the area of the
proposed new county and changes from 50 to
10 percent that of electors in each county
from which the new county will be formed.
-6-
#527
AB 1941 - Chappie
REASON FOR VETO:
Governor Reagan said:
(contd.)
"This bill was introduced
at the request of El Dorado and Placer
Counties who desire to form a new county
from portions of both counties bordering on
Lake Tahoe.
"I fully appreciate the fact that AB 1941
was intended to help solve a local problem.
However, the bill has statewide implications.
The drastic reduction could encourage efforts
to unnecessarily fragment county government.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
AB 2264 - McCarthy
Makes it mandatory for all counties to par-
ticipate in the food stamp or surplus commod-
ity programs. Under present state law county
participation in such programs is voluntary.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"I am opposed to mandating
programs on local government, particularly
when the cost of such programs must be borne
by the local entity. Virtually every county
in this state already participates in the
food stamp or surplus commodity program. I
can find no compelling reason to direct the
counties to do what they are already doing
on a voluntary basis.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed.
SB 400 - McCarthy
Authorizes partial payments of mobilization
cost of contracts under State Contract Act
except for construction of water facilities
for specified percentages of completion of
projects.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"There is conflict among
contracting groups concerning the value of
the mobilization cost provisions contained
in SB 400. This bill should be reexamined
next year to insure that contractors are not
harmed financially by this type of legislation.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed."
SB 733 - Grunsky
Requires the Department of Education to
maintain a sufficient number of visiting
teachers to serve the needs of parents of
preschool blind children. It appropriates
$102, 000 to be used for the employment of
six visiting teachers and one supervisor in
1969-70."
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"The subject of this bill
is an item for budgetary review and should
be considered along with all other programs
competing for available funds on a priority
basis.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed."
-7-
#527
SB 1326 - Marler
Provides a special separate transportation
allowance for junior college districts
transporting pupils residing 10 or more miles
from the attendance center.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"Although the cost would not
be substantial, this bill represents an
increase in the State School Fund for what
I believe is a low priority item in the
total school picture."
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-
signed."

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation authorizing state
/ing
match funds to expand the existing local-federal program that provides
free or reduced cost meals to needy California school children.
But the governor called the measure a "poorly drafted program based
on an unfair administrative formula that provides no help at all to
school districts which do not already have a locally-funded school lunch
program.
"These technical defects must be corrected, the governor said
"before the state matching fund allocation is expanded beyond a pilot
program basis."
The bill (SB-1393, Moscone) establishes statutory authority for the
state to match on a dollar-for-dollar basis the local funds that school
districts spent during the prior year for lunch subsidies. It included
a $5 million allocation.
In signing the measure, Governor Reagan exercised his authority to
scale back the initial allocation to $500,000, a sum he said would permit
the State Department of Education to finance a pilot program to develop
"workable administrative procedures to guarantee that these matching
funds really end up feeding more children and do not simply allow school
districts to use this new state aid to pay for existing lunch subsidy
programs previously financed with local funds."
"I have also directed the Director of Finance to hold back these
funds (the $500,000) until the State Department of Education drafts
sufficiently strong regulations to assure that this money is effectively
distributed for the purpose it is intended."
Governor Reagan said he had been advised that the "technical defects
in this legislation leave so many unresolved administrative questions
that a veto is more than justified.
"However, I fully endorse the goal providing meals for more hungry
children. For that reason, I am signing this bill so that the program
might be tested on a pilot basis to permit state participation in the
existing local-federal school lunch program."
Legal and fiscal aids to the governor said since SB-1393 allows the
state only to match what local school districts spent for lunch subsidies
in the previous year, it does not necessarily guarantee that the money
would be directed to the most deserving districts.
- 1 -
#528
Los Angeles, for example, which had a heavy concentration of poverty
level children, but which does not devote any local funds for lunch
subsidies, will not be eligible for any aid at all.
"Other districts which already have locally-financed school lunch
programs could have been able to claim the entire amount of state money
allocated for nutritional subsidies," " the governor said.
In addition, Governor Reagan said SB-1393 as originally constructed
permitted direct state cash grants to go to private and parochial schools,
a situation that raises "serious Church-State constitutional questions." "
"After these legal and administrative problems have been ironed out
and a workable formula is adequately tested, the legislature can then
determine how the state might best add to the current federal local
school lunch-breakfast program. If the governor said.

The following bill has been vetoed by Governor Ronald Reagan:
SB 1209 - Marler
Exempts the East Nicolaus High School
District and the Wheatland Union High School
District from the areawide aid computation
provisions of the Education Code.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:
"Existing law requires
an areawide tax for elementary and high
school districts included in a unification
proposal which was disapproved by the
voters. This tax is used in the computa-
tion of state support and is actually levied
to equalize funds between districts.
Exempting the school districts in question
from the areawide aid computation provision
establishes a questionable precedent which
tends to defeat the purpose of areawide aid.
There will be additional annual costs of
$110,000 if this bill is approved.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-
signed.'

A task force that will decide how California can best cooperate
in President Nixon's recently announced program to curb inflation--
a program which calls in part for a voluntary effort of states and local
government to curtail construction has been appointed by Governor
Ronald Reagan.
The chairman is Gordon C. Luce, State Secretary of Business and
Transportation.
Other members are Norman B. Livermore, Secretary of Resources;
General Andrew Lolli, Director of General Services; James A. Moe,
Directorof Public Works; William Gianelli, Director of Water Resources;
Fred Hummel, State Architect; James Dwight, Chief Deputy Director of
Finance; Charles Le Menager, Director of Housing and Community
Development, and Art Costamagna, Deputy Director, Department of Commerce.
The combined membership represents all units of California government
that are involved in construction to a major degree.
The task force will inventory all major capital outlay projects
scheduled for award or advertising by the State of California during the
next 20 months. That period represents the budgetary period through
1970-71. Results of this inventory will be compiled and presented to
the governor.
Meanwhile a temporary halt on the awarding or advertising of new
contracts in the state has been requested by Luce pending a decision
from the governor.
Luce, however, has asked each department to use discretion and
continue ahead with such awards and advertising on projects that are
essential to the safety and health of the people of California.
According to Luce, the task force will also attempt to determine
what federal programs in California will be affected by Nixon's 75 percent
cutback.
Several economists in state government have been asked to advise the
task force and Robert La Liberte, Management Analyst, General Services,
will serve as staff to this short-term committee.
In addition, advice will be asked of leading private economists and
representative members of the private sector before recommendations are
made to the governor.

"It is our aim to cooperate fully with the president by apprising
the governor of ways in which California can help with this important
nationwide çoal to curb inflation," Luce said. "Our task force will
carefully evaluate all projects and their impact on the state's
economy before recommendations to postpone or delay projects are made.
"It is our hope, that by pooling and coordinating all information,
any cutbacks will broadly involve many state programs and not severely
curtail or drastically affect any particular one, in any single
geographic area.
"We will certainly want to consider how such delays in federal and
state programs will affect unemployment and housing in California,"
Luce said.

The following statement was issued today by Governor Ronald Reagan
in reference to "HIRE THE FORTY-PLUS WORKER" WEEK, September 15 through
19, 1969.
"Next week, the State Employment Service will be conducting a campaign
to promote equal job opportunities for middle-aged workers: those
aged over 40. There are several good reasons why this campaign should
receive the support of all employers.
"In the first place, there is plenty of scientific and statistical
evidence available now to dispel that old idea that a person is somehow
less capable after his 40th birthday. In fact, ability and skill
usually improve with years of experience. And men and women in the
40-plus age group of employees are generally above average in terms of
loyalty, stability, judgement and resourcefulness. The National
Association of Manufacturers calls them the 'cream of the crop.'
"It is therefore simply good business for employers to hire on the
basis of qualifications and ability to do the job, regardless of age.
And that's what the campaign is all about. There's a disproportionate
number of unemployed in the 40-plus age group and we believe this will
quickly be corrected if age discrimination is eliminated from hiring
practices.
"Secondly, from the standpoint of what's best for the state, we
must keep in mind that nearly half of our adult population in California
is aged 40 or older and every year the percentage of 40-plus workers
increases. Therefore, an increasing share of the manpower needs of our
expanding economy must be met by these workers. In other words, we
should be reversing the trend and employing more 40-plus workers.
"To have able, qualified and willing workers on the unemployment
rolls simply because they were born before 1929 makes no sense. It's
a waste of our resources, it's bad for the economy and it hurts the
taxpayer unnecessarily, including employers.
"So it's in everyone's interest that employers give this campaign
their full support. If hiring is conducted objectively, on the basis
of ability to do the job regardless of age, more employers will be
hiring 40-plus workers, not only next week but as a regular practice
in the future."

Governor Ronald Reagan issued the following statement on learning
of the death of Peter Weinberger, State Director of Industrial Relations:
"Nancy and I were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death
of Peter Weinberger. He was an outstanding member of our administration,
a man of great integrity who each day brought a keen sense of personal
dedication to his important tasks and to the principles of good
government. His death represents a very real loss, not only to the
administration, but more importantly to the people of California he
served so well.
"We pray that in this very trying hour, God will bestow on the
family the healing and comfort which only He can give.
(Weinberger was appointed by the governor as state director of
employment January 26, 1967, and became director of the Department of
Industrial Relations last June.)

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"As you are aware, President Nixon has announced a 75 percent
reduction in new construction projects for the federal government and
requested state and local governments to join him in this fight to con-
trol inflation.
"This administration, I'm proud to say, has been in the vanguard
of the fight against inflation.
"We've never tried to keep secret the fact that this administration
is devoted to economy and to cutting the fat from government.
"You are also aware that we met yesterday with Gordon Luce,
Secretary of Business and Transportation, who heads a task force that
has been reviewing and studying this problem.
"I have removed the temporary freeze on state contracts that I
ordered a week ago to allow bids that were in the normal process to
continue. I feel that this is necessary for the state to meet its moral
obligations to contractors and workers.
"However, we are ready to implement a plan which could amount to
more than $200 million in capital outlay deferrals. We have had and
will continue to have the counsel and advice of a group of economists
so that this plan can be implemented or curtailed if it becomes neces-
sary for the preservation of California's economy.
"We will coordinate our efforts with those of the federal government.
The battle against inflation is the job of the federal, state and local
governments, and the private sector as well.
"Controlling inflation is everybody's business. Unless we make it
everybody's business and act now, there won't be a wheelbarrow large
enough to carry the money we'll need to buy a loaf of bread.
"What is required is an attack on inflation at every level. But
what is NOT required is a duplication of effort. It simply does not
make sense to fire both barrels of a shotgun simultaneously at the same
target.
"Therefore we can and will act to implement our program as soon as
we are informed of the federal cutbacks. But we are NOT going to be
responsible for a duplication of efforts which would defeat the very aim
of the President's program.
"In the meantime, all state projects are being carefully reviewed.
It would serve no useful purpose at this point to speculate on, or
isolate specific projects until we know what the federal plans are.
"Once again, I'd like to remind you that this administration has
pointed the way for others to follow in bringing about economies in
government and reductions in public spending. We intend to continue
on that course.

Governor Ronald Reagan today made the following statement to
reporters at a special news conference in the governor's office:
"In my State-of-the-State Message in January, considerable emphasis
was placed on the growing crisis of drug abuse in California, particularly
among our young people. From January through June, nearly 65,000 persons
were arrested in this state on drug abuse charges; some 20,500 of them
were youngsters under 18 years of age. This is a 50 percent increase ove:
arrests for a similar period in 1968, and indicates that drug abuse is
nearing epidemic proportions in California.
"In addition to activities conducted by various departments of state
government, my office and the office of the lieutenant governor, have
been taking steps during the past year to develop solutions to this
critical problem, with emphasis on utilizing the resources of the private
and volunteer sectors.
"In August, 1968, we began working with the California PTA,
California Medical Association and California Peace Officers Association
to encourage formation of drug abuse committees in high schools and junior
high schools.
"Last October, we formed, in conjunction with the California Medical
Association, the Interagency Council on Drug Abuse, which is designed to
bring together representatives of public and private agencies in an
effort to develop coordinated solutions. Dr. Edward R. Bloomquist, of
Glendale, chairman of the interagency council, is with us here today.
"Just three months ago, in June, another approach to this serious
problem began in California--a mass media public education program.
Details of this program will be presented to you in a few moments. The
program is being conducted by Grey Advertising, of San Francisco, in
cooperation with my office and the California Medical Association. It
represents an outstanding example of a cooperative commitment by
government and the private sector to work together to help solve the
problems of our citizens.
- 1 -
#541
"Experts point out that there is a desperate need to set the record
straight on the subject of drug abuse. A program such as this is
designed to help enlighten both parents and youngsters. Our citizens
must be able to define the extent of the problem and learn what they can
do about it before they can act appropriately, and not in strictly an
emotional way, against the further advancement of the illicit drug
culture.
"The first objective is to reduce the information vacuum about the
effects of dangerous drugs with informative material that is direct,
accurate and medically-sound. Initial newspaper advertisements and radio
and television announcements have been produced and distributed to media
throughout the state. Additional material is being developed and will
be provided the communications media in the future.
"Some 55 business firms, associations and foundations have
contributed funds to sustain the program. Other companies and individuals
are contributing production assistance, talent and services without
charge or "at cost." Well-known spokesmen dedicated to public service,
like Jack Webb and Robin King, have provided their talents without charge.
Private citizens, broadcast stations, newspapers and firms whose
activities relate to the mass media have offered to donate their services.
"Acceptance of the program by broadcast and print media, individually
and through associations, has been gratifying. Pledges of support have
been made by the California Newspaper Publishers Association, California
Broadcasters Association, Southern California Broadcasters Association
and the California Outdoor Advertising Association. The entire program
is a testimonial to the ability and willingness of the private sector to
work for the betterment of California's human environment.
"I want to introduce several others here, who will make a few comment
before your question-and-answer period. I have asked Lieutenant Governor
Ed Reinecke to head a task force on narcotics law enforcement in relation
to the Mexican border. His office is working closely with mine on the
entire problem of drug abuse. Dr. Bloomquist is a nationally-recognized
expert on dangerous drugs, author of the book, Marijuana, and contact for
the California Medical Association on this public education program.
Mr. Rod Farrow of Grey Advertising directs the program. First, I'd like
to call on Lt. Governor Reinecke for a few comments."

Governor Ronald Reagan, in a consumer protection move to prevent
the invasion of privacy, announced today he has asked the State Department
of Motor Vehicles to cancel outstanding contracts for the sale of
driver's license lists.
The action resulted from a study by Motor Vehicles Department
Director Verne Orr.
Governor Reagan noted that at the outset of his administration he
directed Orr to severely curtail sales of the list. Regulations adopted
/er
more than 18 months ago prevented any buy from reselling, loaning or even
showing any portion of the list.
Under these stringent requirements, only two firms were purchasing
the information and each has been furnishing the department five copies
of all mailings sent to any portion of the list.
Coupled with the governor's request to the department to discontinue
selling driver's license lists, the governor asked all cabinet members to
survey information sold or given away by departments and to report back
to him. He said "the action is just another example of the administration
many efforts in the field of consumer protection."
The Governor's action does not alter the department's policy in
answering, for a fee, individual inquiries about information in the
driver's license file. However, by law, the department cannot reveal
confidential information concerning the physical or mental condition of
drivers.
Registration information, which is impersonal in nature, and widely
used by businesses, is not affected by the governor's action. Vehicle
registration files have been open to the public since the first car was
licensed in California in 1905. Driver's license files have been open to
the public since the first operator was licensed in 1915.
When it became apparent in 1941 that the number of individuals
getting information from the files was seriously hampering the work of
departmental employees, the legislature authorized the department to sell
the information. It has been sold for 18 years.

Governor Ronald Reagan today took action to further strengthen the
administration's consumer protection program by creating a Division of
Consumer Affairs in the State Department of Professional and Vocational
Standards.
He said the new division will include the office of Consumer Counsel
Mrs. Kay Valory and will provide her with additional administrative
support at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
Also included in the division will be the Collection Agency
Licensing Bureau, Bureau of Electronic Repair Dealer Registration,
Bureau of Employment Agencies, Bureau of Furniture and Bedding Inspection,
and Bureau of Private Investigators and Adjustors.
The governor said his action will provide a focal point for consumer
inquiries by bringing together a number of key consumer protection
agencies in state government.
"By expanding the administrative services available to the consumer
counsel, our consumer protection program will find even broader
application. At the same time, the centralization of the program into
a single unit will result in obvious administrative efficiencies, the
governor said.
"This administration's consumer protection efforts," he said, "are
aimed at producing practical results by reconciling differences and
resolving problems between consumers and private enterprise. We do not
intend to spend taxpayer dollars as was too often the case prior to
1967---to harass business and industry, and exploit consumer complaints
for propaganda purposes.
"On the other hand, " he said, "reports of abuses against consumers
have been, and will continue to be, referred to proper law enforcement
officials for prosecution, under our consumer protection program.
"The newly created division recognizes and emphasizes the close
relationship between the consumer counsel and the regulatory functions of
the Department of Professional and Vocational Standards and other agencies
of the Executive Branch, II he added.

position by the governor in May of 1967.
Governor Reagan also announced that Gordon Bishop, chief of the
Collection Agency Licensing Bureau and the Bureau of Private Investigators
and Adjusters, will serve as assistant chief of the new Division of
Consumer Affairs.
Livingston, 31, was formerly administrative assistant to the

1965. From 1961 to 1964 he was associated with Kaiser Aluminum and
Chemical Sales, Inc., Oakland,
A Republican, Livingston was graduated from San Francisco State
College where he served as student body president in 1959-60. In
1960-61 he was an intern in public affairs with the Coro Foundation in

Licensing Bureau and the Bureau of Private Investigators and Adjusters.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the establishmet of a
this
Management Evaluation System to study the operations of state
government and propose ways and means of streamlining services for
greater efficiency.
Under the plan, small task forces, composed of three or more
members, will concentrate on specific problems and transmit their
findings to the governor's cabinet for policy decisions.
"In essence, the aim of the system will be to see how we are
doing our job and box we can do it better," Governor Reagan said.
The program will be directed by Winfred W. (Win) Adams who
will serve as coordinator between the information-seeking task force,
department and agency heads, and the cabinet.
Adams, a former cabinet secretary and for the past seven months
an interim executive assistant to Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke, was
appointed last month to begin work on the project.
"Each member of the fact-finding team will be an expert in his
field," Adams said.
"We will examine every program in light of the short and long
range goals of the administration; assist in the development of
current administration policies and consider changes in technology
and methods which can be used to bring greater efficiency and economy
to government," Adams reported.
"Among other tasks, the fact-finding teams will also examine the
cost of programs and determine how and if they meet the needs of the
state and its citizens," he said.
"We will also study possible alternatives to existing programs
which could accomplish the same goals at less cost to the taxpayer,"
Adams said. "But I want to re-emphasize that the task forces are
purely information-seeking bodies. They will not make policy decisions."

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"I want to talk with you today about an epidemic- an epidemic
that has infected Californians in every walk of life and has reached
into nearly every community from Siskiyou County in the north to San
Diego in the south.
"The epidemic of narcotics addiction and drug abuse and if you
chink I'm being overly dramatic, listen to these facts:
"In the past eight years, marijuana, narcotics and dangerous drug
arrests have increased 300 percent among adults, and more than 2,000
percent among juveniles.
"Drugs can be bought easily at high schools in the cities, in the
suburbs and even in the smallest of towns.
"The facts are that it is almost as easy in many places for kids
to buy pills and pot as it is for them to buy soda pop. This is no
longer a problem restricted to high school students. Addiction and
drug abuse has spread to the junior high schools and even the elementary
schools.
"Last month in San Diego alone, six deaths were attributed to drug
overdose. Los Angeles officially records around 100 deaths a year from
drug overdose. Unofficially, we are told that the mortality rate from
drug overdose in Los Angeles is closer to 400 more than one death per
day.
"The Department of Justice reports that while marijuana remains
the favorite of users, the use of more dangerous drugs is increasing
at an alarming rate.
"Over the years many different methods have been tried to stem the
flow of narcotics and dangerous drugs into the United States. But the
flow hasn't been stopped. It has increased to a flood.
"Most officials estimate that as much as 80 percent of the
narcotics and dangerous drugs that flow into this country are smuggled
.cross the Mexican border.
"The federal government through Operation Intercept is attempting
CO bring it to a halt.
and
"I fully support President Nixon in this operation/pledged to the
federal government our complete cooperation and offered any assistance
necessary.

#557
"For some time now, Lt. Governor Ed Reinecke and his task force
on the border problems have been meeting with federal and state
narcotics officials and will continue to do SO.
"There is no question that this project has caused more incon-
venience to tourists and workers who cross the border regularly. Some
are obviously experiencing a measure of economic hardship.
"But if this were an epidemic desease that crippled and took the
lives of our youth, the economic hardships and the inconvenience to
travelers would be considered inconsequential by all thinking
Californians.
"Narcotics addiction and the use of dangerous drugs is as
damaging to this nation and its future generations as any disease
spread by a germ.
"The economic hardship to some and the inconvenience to travelers
can not be balanced on the same scale with shattered lives, heart-
broken families and the astronomical cost of courts, judges, juvenile
facilities, law enforcement agencies and the rehabilitation and treat-
ment costs required to treat the addicted.
"There is only one way to stop an epidemic. And that is to
isolate the virus that causes it and destroy it. Operation Intercept
is trying to do just that."

This should prevent any mis-\napplication of chemicals due to misunderstanding or poor communication.\nIt also puts on record exactly where the responsibility for any misuse\nof pesticides lies.\nAB 1210 requires that a pesticide dealer must be licensed by the\ndirector of agriculture and that the dealer's agent or salesman must be\nregistered with the agricultural commissioner of every county in which\nhe operates. To get a dealer's license, the applicant must pass a test\nof his knowledge of laws and regulations governing pesticides.\nUp to now, state laws did not regulate the operations of pesticide\ndealers or salesmen. AB 1210 fills this gap.\nIt also provides California with additional tools to ensure that\npesticides are used properly. Dealers' license fees, to be shared with\nthe counties, will cover the cost of administering this program.\n########\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOP\nRELEASE: Imm iate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-3-69\n#500\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed into law a key element in his\nanti-crime legislative program, a bill (SB-66, Sherman) designed to I\nprotect informants who provide evidence of activities in such areas as\nnarcotics, bookmaking, prostitution and organized crime.\n\"The legislation,\" he said, \"will give law enforcement another\neffective means of obtaining evidence of vice activities by protecting\nthe informant against reprisal by protecting his identity. For, once an\ninformant is identified, he is useless for future activity and is in\ndanger of losing his life.\"\nThe bill establishes a judicial procedure which will protect the\ninformant against disclosure by permitting a closed hearing. On the\nother hand, the defendant will be guaranteed a fair and open hearing\nbecause, if the court determines in closed session that the informant is a\nmaterial witness to the alleged crime, the informant must be identified.\nGovernor Reagan noted that \"some 90 percent of all narcotic\nconvictions are made possible through the use of confidential informants.\n\"Most vice activities such as narcotics, bookmaking, prostitution\nand organized crime involve willing victims rather than complainants\nwho ask for police protection or prosecution. Those in the law\nenforcement field are agreed that informants are necessary in the fight\nagainst crime, 11 he said.\n\"I believe that this legislation with its protection of the\ninformant and fairness to the defendant will move California a step\ncloser toward insuring the safety of the state's law abiding citizens,\"\nhe added.\nThe governor expressed his appreciation to Senator Lewis F.

It establishes a uniform state code for factory-built,\npre-fabricated housing and permits inspection of such construction at\nthe factory, prior to being accepted at the site.\nGovernor Reagan said: \"The introduction of factory methods in\nbuilding homes coupled with the easing of an over-abundance of\nregulations, as provided in this legislation could substantially reduce\nthe cost of housing construction to low income families in California.\n\"The bill will not only help meet the ever growing need for such\nhousing by cutting through red tape and speeding the end product to the\nconsumer, but it should also open up a new labor market, stimulate the\neconomy, and further develop space-age technology in the field of\nhousing, \" he said.\nGovernor Reagan congratulated Assemblyman Pete Wilson for\nsuccessfully guiding the measure through the legislature and commended\nthe Department of Housing and Community Development, the California\nBuilders Council, the League of California Cities, and the California\nReal Estate Association for their efforts in drafting the model housing\nlegislation.\n########\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-3-69\n#502\nGovernor Reagan today signed legislation which would broaden the\nprotective and prevention features of California's highly successful\nprobation subsidy program.

The subsidies must be used to set\nup special supervision programs to provide intensive counseling,\npsychiatric and other services to help rehabilitate those who are not\nsent to the state institutions.\nGovernor Reagan noted that \"during the first three years of the\nprogram, commitments to state institutions were reduced by more than\n7,000 persons. Although the state subsidy totaled $30 million, the state\nwas able to save several times this amount, taking into consideration\nwhat it would have cost to build new institutions for these offenders\nand for maintaining them,\" he said.\n\"By making it possible for pre-delinquents and lesser offenders to\nreceive probation services under the program,\" the governor said, \"the\nstate will help the counties rehabilitate potential criminals before\nthey commit really serious offenses.\n\"I believe there is no more effective and economical way to meet\nthe problem of crime and delinquency than to prevent it. And, this can\nbest be done by providing opportunities for rehabilitation before the\npotential offender has embarked upon his criminal career.\"\nGovernor Reagan said that the $200,000 appropriation for deliquency\nprevention projects will qualify the state for several times that amount\nin federal funds. The money will be disbursed to many of the counties\nsetting the stage for a community based assault on delinquency.\nA portion of the appropriation will also be used to fund two\ndemonstration projects developed at the direction of State Human Relations\nSecretary Spencer Williams to identify potential delinquents early in\ntheir school careers and take prompt steps to prevent them from becoming\ndelinquent.

The bill enables the state to allow a local agency\nfull credit for funds that would have been spent on landscaping,\nmaintenance or similar amenities that would have been required had the\nland remained solely under state control.\n\"This could cut the cost of the lease by a substantial amount or\nbe applied to the actual development of the facility,\" Public Works\nDirector James Moe said.\nThe measure also authorizes the state to classify portions of\nthe state highway right of way as non-operating lands. It applies to\nthose lands which, while not actually required for traffic operation,\nmust be retained by the state because they are under a freeway, in an\ninterchange, or required for freeway drainage purposes.\nGovernor Reagan said AB 455 may prove, in the future, to be of\neven greater assistance in improving community values because it involves\nexcess property which otherwise would be sold.\nThe bill provides that any excess parcels or portions of parcels\nlying within 200 feet of the closest boundary of the state highway may\nbe leased to a local agency for park purposes. It will make it possible\nfor determinations to be made in each case that the development of a\npark on such property would protect the highway and preserve its view,\nappearance, light and air, and usefulness.\nBoth measures will make it possible for many communities to develop\nmini-parks or recreational areas at very little expense.\nLos Angeles and San Francisco recently expressed a desire to lease\nspace adjacent to operating freeways. San Diego is interested in lands\nlocated in an interchange now under development.\nDepartment of Public Works records indicate there are several\nhundred potential sites where the joint use could become reality.\n# # #\nOF ICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE:\nIn\ndiate\nSaciamento, Califori\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n9-3-69\n#506\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed into law five administration-\nbacked bills designed to help tighten up welfare and Medi-Cal\nexpenditures.\nOne measure (SB 847, Stevens) part of the governor's legislative\nprogram not only saves the taxpayer the cost of an unnecessary state\nsubsidy to families with adequate financial resources, but also uses a\nportion of the savings to expand placement opportunities for the\nmentally retarded who cannot be kept in their own homes.\nThe bill corrects a present inequity under which aid is granted to\ntotally disabled persons, without regard to the financial resources of\nthe parents of such persons. It prohibits parents who are financially\nwell-off from claiming welfare allowances for room rent and other items\nof household expense which would exist even though the disabled persons\nwere not living with them.\nGovernor Reagan said he was especially pleased to sign the legis-\nlation because \"it strengthens the important concept we have been\npushing during the course of this administration the need for family\nresponsibility wherever possible.\"\nOne half of the savings to the state general fund from the new\nprovision or, roughly $1.6 million this fiscal year will be allo-\ncated to the State Department of Social Welfare to help pay private\ninstitutional costs for mentally retarded persons who cannot be kept at\nhome.\nThese additional funds will permit the release of a number of\nmentally retarded persons from state hospitals and pay for their\nplacement in private institutions, generally at less expense than the\ncost of state hospitalization.\nAnother administration-sponsored measure (SB 857, Deukmejian)\nsigned by the governor will make sure that welfare funds intended to aid\nneedy children are not siphoned off for use by an unrelated man living\nwith the family.\nUnder the bill, the man will have to contribute to the expenses of\nthe family at least to the same extent it would cost him for the same\naccommodations secured independently.\n-1-\n#506\nA bill (AB 1351, Ketchum) to develop efficient, highly automated\nprocesses for determining eligibility and making aid payments will also\nreduce the cost of administering welfare programs. Heart of the\nmeasure is the creation of an integrated welfare management information\nsystem employing the most sophisticated electronic data processing\nequipment.\nIn signing the legislation, Governor Reagan said:\n\"Development of this information system will enable the state to\ngreatly improve the management and the effectiveness of public assist-\nance programs. It will help analyze policy alternatives, make accurate\ncost estimates, assist in controlling program costs, eliminate duplica-\ntion of effort by various governmental agencies, and improve the\nexchange of pertinent information.\"\nWhen developed, the system should further cut down paperwork and\nrelieve social workers of clerical tasks so they can devote their time\nto those who need their assistance.\nThe State Human Relations Agency will be responsible for developing\nthe system in cooperation with the counties and with the federal\nDepartment of Health, Education and Welfare. HEW recently selected\nCalifornia as one of four pilot states to help develop a nationwide\nuniform social welfare information system.\nThe measure appropriates $108,000 as the state's share of first-\nyear development costs. The federal government will contribute\n$350,000.\nPlans call for the Welfare Information System to ultimately form\nthe nucleus of a broad, agency-wide information system serving nine\ndepartments, and facilitating exchange of information in such welfare-\nrelated fields as Medi-Cal, rehabilitation and human resource\ndevelopment.\nAnother measure (AB 1454, Duffy) signed by the governor provides\nfor disqualification from Medi-Cal of any person who charges the program\nmore than the reasonable value of the services he receives.\nA companion bill (AB 1460, Duffy) receiving the governor's\nsignature will strengthen the state's ability to recover the cost of\nmedical assistance given to persons who were injured by someone else\nwho is civilly liable. This measure will assist the state in recouping\nits costs when, for example, a welfare recipient is injured by an\ninsured driver.\nGovernor Reagan said \"the two bills will go a long way toward\nreducing Medi-Cal costs to the state's taxpayers and appropriately\ndiscipline those who try to gouge the program both prime objectives\nof this administration.\" II\n# # #\n-2-\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Im diate\nSacramento, Califor\nContact:\nPaul BE\n445-4571\n9-3-69\n#507\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed two bills designed to give\ncollege administrators more muscle to deal with hard-core campus\ntroublemakers.\nThe measures are AB 534 by Assemblyman Frank J. Murphy (R-Santa\nCruz) and AB 1286 by Assemblyman John Stull (R-Encinitas).\nThe Murphy bill is aimed at those who disturb the peace on the\ncampus, students or employees who have been dismissed for campus\ndisruptions and re-enter without permission, those who fail to leave\nthe campus after ordered to do so by college authorities and outsiders\nwho are ordered off campus and return within 72 hours without permission.\nViolators will be subject to misdemeanor complaints and if found\nguilty could be fined up to $500 and jailed for six months, or both.\n\"Assemblyman Murphy's bill will give college administrators\nmuscle to deal with hard-core campus troublemakers by making it possible\nto isolate them. It also provides criminal penalties if the trouble-\nmakers return to the campus,\" the governor said.\n\"This measure can assist in maintaining our campuses as educational\ninstitutions--not battlegrounds,\" the governor remarked. \"As I've\npointed out repeatedly, academic goals must be pursued through\nlegitimate educational channels without force or violence. Nonacademic\ngoals must not be allowed to destroy the educational process.\"\nThe Stull bill gives college and university officials the power\nto discipline students or faculty members convicted of crimes arising\nfrom a campus disturbance, and would withdraw state financial aid from\nstudents participating in campus disorders.\nIt also allows the Regents of the University of California,\nTrustees of the State Colleges and the governing boards of junior\ncolleges to adopt rules of student behavior and establish penalties\nfor violations which will be presented to each student at the beginning\nof the semester or quarter.\n\"There is absolutely no reason why the state should financially\nassist students who are actively engaged in destroying the schools that\nare providing them with an education,\" the governor said.\n\"This bill will withdraw state scholarships from students who\ncommit criminal acts on and disrupt the peace of the campus.\n\"The people of this state, who have generously supported our\ninstitutions of higher education, will no longer tolerate public\nassistance to students who reciprocate by destroying the very institutions\nthis assistance enables them to attend.

He noted that California now has a\ncomprehensive Deadly Weapons Control Act which provides for statewide\nregulation of firearms.\n\"California's hunters and sportsmen who use firearms are a highly\nmobile group. It is not unusual for them to travel from one part of\nthe state to another, often a number of counties away from` home, to\nhunt,\" he said.\n\"Without the provisions of this bill, they could well face a\nmultiplicity of unfamiliar and dissimilar ordinances pertaining to\nfirearms each time they crossed into a different county.\n\"The potential for such a situation in the future would have been\nvery real had this legislation not reached my desk. Already, several\ncommunities in the state have enacted separate local firearms licensing\nand registration regulations.\n\"California's hunters and sportsmen represent a significant\nsegment of our population. Approximately one million hunting licenses\nare taken out in California each year.\n\"These sportsmen should not be expected to have to cope with the\ndifficulties inherent in independent local regulation of licensing and\nregistration of firearms.

Alfred E. Alquist (D-San Jose) because\nhe said the legislation would create what he called a \"compulsory\nprimary\" in California \"which would force all potential dark-horse\ncandidates to spend enormous sums of money to mount a campaign.\"\nHis veto message said:\n\"I am returning this bill unsigned because, although it has been\nerroneously dubbed an 'open primary' bill by some, it would, in fact,\na\ncreate in California/'compulsory primary' which would force all potential\ndark-horse candidates to spend enormous sums of money to mount a\ncampaign.\n\"While perhaps benefiting advertising agencies and professional\ncampaign managers, the bill would, in effect, require an entrance fee\ninto the presidential sweepstakes far more onerous than similar laws\nin much smaller states now impose.\n\"The fact is, California already has an 'open primary.' Any\ncandidate genuinely interested in running for the presidency can enter.\n\"Serious analysis must lead one to the conclusion that the present\nsystem in California already provides for direct citizen involvement and\nis far better than the proposed compulsory system.\n\"But the reasons I have outlined are not the only compelling ones\nwhich bear on my decision.\n\"This bill delegates to one elected official, the Secretary of State,\nthe authority and responsibility for determing who is or is not a.\n'generally recognized' candidate for his party's nomination for the\npresidency, at least for purposes of gaining a place on the ballot. I\nbelieve that determination should be made by the voters of each party\nas it is now, through the requirement that supporters of each candidate\ngather a reasonable number of signatures of registered voters.\n\"If a candidate is, indeed, 'generally recognized' as a serious\npresidential contender, his supporters should have no difficulty in\ngathering sufficient signatures to place his name on the California\nballot. If, on the other hand, they are unable to gather sufficient\nsignatures, that, in itself, would indicate a lack of broad-based appeal.\n-1-\n#510\n\"The present syste. in California is no handicap to serious\ncandidates, but the petition process does discourage capricious filings\nfor a place on the ballot by publicity seekers.\n\"Contrary to what its advocates contend, the so-called 'open\nprimary' system does not guarantee a choice among all potential\ncandidates.\n\"One needs look only to the 1968 election year for an example.\nThe eventual nominee of the Democratic Party (Hubert H. Humphrey) was\nnot on the ballot in either Oregon or Nebraska, the two states which\ncurrently have so-called 'open primary' systems.\n\"The news media certainly recognized the former Vice President as\nthe major candidate for the Democratic nomination for president yet\nhe was not on the ballot in states having the same type of law which\nthis bill proposes.\n\"In conclusion, this legislation fails to provide any compelling\nalternative to California's present 'open primary' system.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\n# # #\n-2-\nEJG\nOFFICE or 100 GOVERNOR\nRELEASE:\nate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Bec\n445-4571\n9-4-69\n#511\nCalifornians will be protected against insurance companies\nthat go broke under a bill signed today by Governor Ronald Reagan.\n\"Immediate effect of the new law will be to bring relief to\n6,000 policyholders in a small defunct Northern California company\nthat has been taken over by the Department of Insurance,\" the governor\nsaid.\nThe legislation- AB 1310--was authored by Assemblyman John V.\nBriggs (R-Fullerton).\nIt creates the California Insurance Guarantee Association\nwhich will respond to claims against policies issued by insurers that\nhave become insolvent, and sets up machinery for handling the claims\nwithout the expenditure of public funds.\n\"This bill was enacted to bring relief to 6,000 policyholders\nof a company that became insolvent, but it does far more,\" the governor\nsaid in signing the legislation.\n\"It not only protects insured Californians against insolvent\ncompanies but it also demonstrates that the states can provide this\nprotection without going to the Federal government for assistance,\"\nhe said.\n# # #\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nontact: Paul Beck 9-4-69\n#512\n145-4571\nGovernor Ronald Reagan said today he has \"reluctantly signed into\nlaw a so-called 'conflict-of-interest' law Assembly Bill 325 by\nAssemblyman Jesse Unruh.\n\"I have signed this bill only because it represents a tentative\nstep in the right direction and is therefore better than nothing.\n\"But the public should not be misled. This bill is not a compre-\nhensive conflict-of-interest law. It is a watered-down disclosure law,\nwhich requires, with many ambiguities, loopholes and exemptions, public\nofficials to list investments over $10,000 in businesses regulated by\nstate or local government.\n\"The opportunities for evasion in the bill are substantial.\n\"There is, however, one worthwhile feature and it is the principal\nreason I have signed it. That requires candidates to list the donor of\neach campaign contribution over $500 together with the amount of the\ndonation.\n\"But this section should be called the \"Winton Act\" in honor of\nthe former Assemblyman who attempted for many years to obtain passage\nof a purity of elections law requiring the listing of all donors with\nthe amount of their donation.\n\"Unfortunately, Assemblyman Winton's bill was always defeated\nduring the period when then Speaker Jesse Unruh controlled the Assembly.\nThe disclosure provisions in this bill may, in certain cases,\nprove a slight deterrent to wrongdoing. But disclosure is only one of\nseveral necessary approaches to conflict-of-interest.\n\"Without accompanying laws prescribing wrongful acts, disclosure\nprovisions can be little more than window dressing. Disclosure must\nserve public purposes not merely satisfy curiosity seekers, or furnish\nammunition for solicitation.\n\"A substantially different approach to the overall subject of\nconflict of interest is represented by Assembly Bill 2343, which was\nintroduced on behalf of the administration by Assemblyman Newton\nRussell (R-Tujunga).\n\"Unfortunately this constructive bill failed to get out of the\nAssembly committee.\n-1-\n#512\n\"The purpose of AL 2343 was to:\n(1) Broaden the coverage of existing laws to include all levels\nof the executive branch of state government, including exempt and civil\nservice employees and members of boards and commissions; (2) identify\nspecific wrongful acts; (3) increase the penalties for violation; (4)\nrequire disclosure of all assets in businesses regulated by the state;\n(5) require really detailed campaign reporting; and (6) pull the\npresently scattered statutes on this subject into one place in the\nGovernment Code, so that all can find the law.\n\"I intend to again push for approval of Assembly Bill 2343 in 1970\nand, where appropriate, to expand the coverage of the measure to insure\nthat the legislative and judicial branches of state government, and\nofficials of local government, all will be included.\n\"I hope the legislature will see fit to enact this far more useful\napproach to this very important subject.\n\"The major emphasis of Assembly Bill 2343 is to forbid wrongful\nacts, rather than to place total reliance upon the partial disclosure\nof assets of a few people, as is the case with the Unruh bill.\n\"I prefer the more comprehensive approach of Assembly Bill 2343\nfor the following reasons:\n(1) All public officials, including civil service employees,\nshould be subject to the same overall standards of ethical conduct.\nThe Unruh bill exempts the great majority of public employees from its\nprovisions.\n\"(2) Wrongful acts should be clearly identified and made known\nto all public officials, and prohibited, with penalties for violation.\nAssembly Bill 325 merely requires disclosure of some assets of individuals\n(3) Disclosure provisions should not be based upon an arbitrary\nstandard of $10,000, as in Assembly Bill 325, but upon a percentage of\nincome, as in Assembly Bill 2343. Obviously, a $10,000 investment is\nfar more significant to some individuals than others.\n\" (4) Assembly Bill 325 only requires campaign contributions in\nexcess of $500 to be identified by contributors. Assembly Bill 2343\nestablishes the level at $5. The $500 level is obviously too high,\nand evasions are virtually encouraged.\n\"It is very regrettable that AB 325 fails to get at the heart of\nconflict-of-interest.\n\"And until the legislature enacts a tough, comprehensive conflict-\nof-interest proposal such as AB 2343, California's laws will contain a\nmajor gap in a key field. That gap must be closed in 1970.\"\n# # #\n-2-\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n9-4-69\n#513\nCalifornia's participation in a comprehensive western states study\ndesigned to provide better short-haul air transportation facilities in\nthe future was assured today by a bill signed into law by Governor\nRonald Reagan.\nThe legislation (SB 885 - Collier) provides $100,000 as California's\nshare of the 13-state study.\nGovernor Reagan explained that the study of the West Coast Air\nCorridor received the approval of the Western Governor's Conference in\nHawaii in November of 1968.\nHe said a principal objective will be to design and implement\nfeasibility demonstrations to determine the impact of aviation\ntechnology on short-haul transportation.

Legislators have not received salary increases during\nthe past three years, and by the time this bill takes effect, it will have\nbeen more than four years.\nAnother measure (AB-662, Bagley) increases the state attorney\ngeneral's annual salary from $39,132 to $42,500, effective January 1, 1971\nThe bill also provides that the attorney general's salary will no longer\nbe based on the earnings of an associate justice of the California\nSupreme Court.\nTwo other bills (SB-362 and SB-363) authored by Senate Finance\nCommittee Chairman Randolph Collier (D-Yreka) increase annual salaries\nof the state's constitutional officers, top administrators in the\nexecutive branch, members of various boards and commissions, and members\nof the governor's staff.\nBoth measures were sponsored by the Commission on California State\nGovernment Organization and Economy (Little Hoover Commission) which\nrecommended the wage changes following an extensive study of the salary\nstructure of the executive branch.\nIn its findings and recommendations, the Little Hoover Commission\nsaid:\n1.\n\"Salaries for state executives are low. The current compensation for\nstate executives is substantially below that of executives with similar\nresponsibilities in local government in California and in other state\ngovernments. The state must offer salaries which are at least competitive\nwith those paid to top executives in other large governmental jurisdiction\n\"In 1965, in its report on Management Manpower Requirements, the\n(Little Hoover) commission said:\n\"\"The highest salaries paid by the State of California are low\nwhen compared to those offered not only by private industry, but\nalso by the State of New York, the Federal Government, and by\nsome municipal governments---including local governments in\nCalifornia. The incongruous fact is that 85 percent to 90 perce\nof all California state employees in the lower and middle ranks\nare paid salaries comparable to those of employees doing\nequivalent work in private industry. However, those men and\nwomen who serve in positions at the upper management levels are,\nby and large, paid salaries significantly below the compensation\nof individuals doing comparable work elsewhere.'\n#515\n\"The same is still true today.\n\"It is clear that it is time for California to meet the level of\ncompensation offered by comparable employers in the field of executive\nsalaries.\n\"The efficient and responsible operation of the executive branch\nrequires the employment of the most qualified personnel available.\n\"To continue to attract and retain high caliber personnel, the state\nmust offer reasonably competitive salaries.\n2. \"Low statutory executive salaries have resulted in acute compaction\nof the top management structure.\n\"The current differential in compensation of superior and subordinate\nstate executives is grossly inadequate to recognize substantial difference\nin responsibility, to the point where the difference in monthly salary\nbetween the director and the chief deputy director of 14 state departments\nis less than $2.\n\"Clearly, the current salary differentials between directors and\ntheir deputies is inadequate.\n3. \"The salary limits available to the governor should be increased\nin order to provide salaries for the governor's secretaries which are\ncomparable to those for other top level administrators. These limits will\npermit a logical salary relationship with other statutory executive\nsalaries.\n\"We believe the findings of the commission are sound and the\nrecommendations justified and, in some instances, long overdue. A basic\nbuilding block of proper administration of the California state\ngovernment is a reasonable compensation plan for positions of\nresponsibility,\" the Little Hoover Commission report said.\n########\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE:\nSacramento, Califo* ia\nContact: Paul Bec.\n445-4571 9-5-69\n#516\nGovernor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed the\nfollowing bills:\nAB 52 - Greene, L.\nProvides that when the Secretary of State\n(Chapter 1520)\nreceives arguments for and against a\nballot measure he shall send copies of the\nopposing arguments to the opponents and\nthey may submit a rebuttal aggument not\nto exceed 250 words.\nAB 61 - Wakefield\nProvides that cities and counties can\n(Chapter 1535)\nenact ordinances prohibiting topless\nand bottomless shows in public places open\nto the public, or places open to public\nview if such conduct is not expressly\nauthorized or prohibited by the Penal Code.\nThe bill exempts theater, concert hall,\nor similar establishment, which is primarily\ndevoted to theatrical performances, from\nsuch ordinances.\nAB 66 - Britschgi\nChanges the dates of certain current state\n(Chapter 1521)\nholidays \"Washington's Birthday, Memorial\nDay, Columbus Day and Veterans Day) to\nfall on a specific Monday.\nAB 69 - Crown\nRequires manufacturers of over-the-counter\n(Chapter 1522)\ndrugs to disclose, by one of two ways,\nthe quantity of the active ingredients\nof the drug, unless specifically exempted.\nThe disclosure requirement for non-prescript\ndrugs may be satisfied by either stating the\nquantity of the active ingredients on the\ndrug label or in a separate statement filed\nwith the State Department of Public Health.\nAB 74 Murphy\nExtends the termination date of the provision\n(Chapter 1523)\nauthorizing maximum school tax rate increases\nfor expenses incurred in the inspection or\nrepair of school buildings respecting\nearthquake safety from July 1, 1970, to\nJuly 1, 1975.

I share the view\nof the Judicial Council that minimum qualifications\nshould be established for any traffic hearing\nofficer-type position.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nAB 921 - Dunlap\nPermits a retired member of State Teachers' Retirement\nSystem who has elected one of the optional settlement:\nto revoke the option if he is divorced, had nominated\nhis previous spouse as his beneficiary, and the divor\ndecree makes a disposition of the allowance but does\nnot give the beneficiary an interest in the allowance\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"The\nfinancing of a retirement system\nis a function of the costs which evolve from its\noperation. The election of an option at time of\nretirement is taken into consideration in determining\nthe cost of the retirement system, and the rates of\ncontributions which are required from the employees\nand employers. If persons are permitted after\nretirement to change their retirement arrangement,\nit forces the retirement system to value all benefits\nas if no option had been elected. It forces the\ntieing up, actuarially, of the maximum sum of money\nwhich would have been payable had no option been\nelected. It will be obligating money unnecessarily\nwhich could be used for funding benefit improvements\nin the retirement plan. Furthermore, the legislation\nis poorly drawn, and is subject to numerous\ninterpretations.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nAB 1002 - Sieroty\nExcludes psychological or physical conditions brought\nabout solely through the voluntary administration of\na narcotic or restricted dangerous drug from the type\nof injury that must be reported by a hospital or\npharmacy to the police, marshal or sheriff.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"The purpose\nof this bill is to encourage injured\ndrug users to seek medical treatment. However there\nis no evidence that the required medical reports\ndeter drug users from seeking medical assistance. In\nview of the high rate of narcotic and drug abuse,\nespecially among our young people, law enforcement\nneeds every possible investigative weapon at its\ndisposal.

The transition\nprocess from one grand jury to another is now\nadequately provided for by legal, judicial and other\nofficial assistance. Prior reports of grand juries\nare not only available but the law requires a response\nto such reports by the departments affected.\nConsequently, new jurors have available these reports\nand responses for review.\n\" Practically speaking, the advantages of holdover jurors\nare now available because the old and new grand juries\nmeet to discuss problems and old committee chairman\nmeet with new committee chairman to work on detailed\nprojects. There are potential abuses with holdover\nmembers which are not outweighed by the alleged\nadvantages. Because of prior experience and desire,\nholdover jurors could exercise undue influence over\nnew inexperienced jurors.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill without my\nsignature.\"\n-2-\nAB 1468 - Duffy\nThis bill establishes a C ference of County Medi-\nCal Consultants composed of a county Medi-Cal\nconsultant appointed by the Board of Supervisors\nfrom each county in the state in which county\nconsultants perform prior authorization functions to\nconsult with the Department of Health Care Services\nregarding prior authorization of services and scope\nof services provided by such county consultants.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"I share the\nview that the administrators of a\ncostly and massive program like Medi-Cal need to\navail themselves of the best expertise that physicians\nand other health professionals can offer; the county\nMedi-Cal consultants' knowledge and experience\nconstitute advisory resources which the Department\nof Health Care Services now uses and will continue\nto use. In fact, regularly scheduled meetings have\nbeen held, advice has been requested, and encouragement\nhas been given to initiate recommendations. I do\nnot share the view, however, that the Administration\nshould be mandated to establish what amounts to a\nsecond statutory charge of advising the Department.\n\"As I have indicated in my reorganization plans, state\ngovernment needs to be simplified, not made more\ncomplex. The creation of new boards, commissions,\nand conferences inevitably carries with it a\npresumed need for staffing and related expense.\n\"Notwithstanding my disapproval of this legislation,\nthe expertise of the Medi-Cal consulatants must be\nutilized to the greatest advantage.

This language\nwas amended in conference without the benefit of\ncommittee review.\n\"The cost of the administration of public assistance\nprograms in California has traditionally been paid\nby county governments under the state-county\npartnership plan of administration.

A\nreview by the Department prior to submission to a\nfederal agency does afford an opportunity to\nanticipate the magnitude of possible increases in\nmatching funds required, provided that the full reques\nis granted by the federal agency.

I have\napproved the reorganization plans for the Department\nwhich created the Marine Fisheries Branch and, more\npertinent to Assembly Bill No. 2140, an Anadromous\nFisheries Branch.\n\"In addition to these actions, the Director of Fish\nand Game has already established a volunteer advisory\ncommittee to participate with the Department to\naccomplish the objectives stated in Assembly Bill No.\n2140. It is my opinion that the creation of a\nstatutory committee as provided in this bill will\nnot only duplicate the programs already under way,\nbut will cause an unnecessary cost to the license\nbuyers and the taxpayers.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned.\"\nAB 2222 - Lewis\nThis measure makes the Chancellor of the Califom ia\nCommunity Colleges or his designee a non-voting ex\nofficio member of the Commission on Peace Officer\nStandards and Training.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"There has\nbeen no demonstration of any need\nfor violating the traditional concept of home rule\ncontrol which the present composition of the\nCommission reflects. There has been no showing of\nany breakdown in communication between the Commission\nand representatives of the community colleges, since\nthe Commission has responsibilities other than the\ntraining of peace officers. I question the need to\nvest in the Chancellor or his designee a voice in the\ncontrol of police recruitment standards, department\ncounseling, and general police administration--matters\nwhich are outside the Chancellor's area of expertise.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\" \"\nAB\n2316 - Greene, Provides that student body funds may be used to\nfinance activities for noninstructional periods or\nto augment or enrich school district programs.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"The language\nof Assembly Bill No. 2316 is not\nclear. It could cover activities which normally are\nconsidered a legitimate part of the educational\nprocess and which are already provided for by public\nfunds with adequate controls. On the other hand, the\nlanguage could be interpreted to provide for the\nfinancing of projects outside of the generally\naccpted educational process, without appropriate\ncontrols.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\n-5-\n#517\nAB 2342 - Wilson\nProvides that when the holuer of an installment\nsales contract institutes a suit to recover one or more\npayments, he irrevocably elects his remedy and may not\nthereafter repossess the goods and exercise power\nof sale if the balance due is less than 50 percent of\nthe time sale price of the goods.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"The Attorney\nGeneral's Office has advised me that\nthis bill as finally amended permits the very situation\nwhich the bill sought to avoid when it was first\nintroduced in the legislature. Under existing law, a\ncompany may sue a customer for the full amount of\nthe purchase, or he may repossess the merchandise.\nOften when the merchandise is repossessed,\nparticularly in regard to the sale of used goods, the\ncompany can make extra funds upon the repossession.\nUnder this bill, the company can not only make\nadditional funds but also can collect up to 50 percent\nof the purchase price, plus attorneys fees and court\ncosts, besides repossessing the property.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nSB 3 - Alquist\nDeletes and amends the present Elections Code provision\ndealing with delegates and candidates in the presidenti\nprimary. The bill provides that candidates on the\nballot will be those found by the Secretary of State\nto be recognized candidates throughout the nation\nor California for the office of President of the\nUnited States or those whose names are placed on\nballot by means of a petition. The bill permits any\nsuch candidate to withdraw by filing an affidavit that\nhe is not a candidate.\nREASON FOR VETO: See Press Release No. 510.\nSB 39 - Carrell\nRevises the total monthly income permitted for\nadmission to children's centers. It requires the\nSuperintendent of Public Instruction to annually\nadjust eligibility figures for admission to such cente\nto reflect changes in cost of living as indicated\nby the State Personnel Board findings as to\nsalaries in private industry and state service.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"I agree that\nthere is a need to adjust the\neligibility requirements for admission to children's\ncenters. However, the responsibility for making\nadjustments in such requirements, should rest with\nthe legislature. This bill transfers such responsibil\nto the Superintendent of Public Instruction.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\" \"\nSB 77 - Stiern\nAppropriates all unallocated and unexpended funds,\nif any, available for the Miller-Unruh Basic Reading\nAct to be used for a summer elementary school reading\ninstruction program.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"These\nfunds have already been committed\nfor educational pruposes by the provision of\nAssembly Bill No. 606 (Chapter 786, Statutes of 1969)\nand the Budget Act of 1969.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nA\n-6-\n#517\nSB 91 - Mills\nAppropriates $35,119 from\ne General Fund to the\nDepartment of Rehabilitation to augment staff for\nthe prpose of obtaining additional vending stands\nand food service operations and placing blind\noperators in such locations.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"The 1969-70\nBudget provides for sufficient\nadditional staff to support this worthwhile program.\nT1 e additional augmentation provided for in SB 91 is\nnot necessary.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nSB 100 - Song\nRequires public entities to give notice to claimants\nof the statute of limitations applicable to lawsuits\nagainst public agencies. The bill also allows late\nclaims to be filed where the claimant did not have\nknowledge of the time limit provided the public\nentity had actual notice within the time limit of the\nincident giving rise to the claim and the entity is\nnot prejudiced.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"I object to\nthe provision of the bill which allow\nany late claimant to file a claim stating that he did\nnot have knowledge of the claim filing requirements.\nThis amendment would encourage the filing of late\nclaims and could in effect eliminate the claim\nfiling requirement. This amendment and its\nconsequences go far beyond the original recommendation\nof the Law Revision Commission. \"\n\"Accordingly, I am returnig the bill unsigned.\"\nSB 111 - Dymally\nRequires that by January 1, 1970, the Los Angeles\nColiseum Commission be increased by two members of the\nlegislature, one appointed by the Senate Committee\non Rules, the other by the Speaker of the Assembly.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"SB 111 is\nvirtually identical to AB 93 which\nI vetoed last year on the grounds that unilateral\namendment of the existing joint powers agreement\nwould upset the present membership balance of the\nagencies who manage and operate the Coliseum Complex,\nand that legislative members sitting on the\nCommission constitute a violation of the constitutional\nrequirement of separation of powers. I believe that\nthese grounds are still valid reasons for not\napproving this bill.\n\"In addition there is a question whether the State,\nas one party to the contract, can legally force a\nunilateral change upon Los Angeles County and the\ncity of Los Angeles. Also, the holders of outstanding\nbonds may have the right to object to such a\nunilateral change in the composition of the Commission\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nSB 158 - Beilenson\nRequires that a driver of a motor vehicle involved\nin an accident originating from the operation of a\nmotor vehicle on private property open to public for\nparking or fuel, rather than only any street or\nhighway, which accident results in property damage\nin excess of $200 or in bodily injury or in death,\nreport such accident in the prescribed manner.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"The Department\nof Motor Vehicles estimates that\nthis bill would require eight to ten additional\nemployees. During consideration of SB 158, the reporting minimum for all\naccidents was raised to $300. This would have substantially reduced the\nnumber of accidents reported to the Department and the increased workload\ngenerated by this bill would have been balanced by the decreased number of\ntotal accidents. However, the increased limit was stricken from the bill\nand the reporting limit now remains at $200. I cannot support the\nworkload costs created by this bill. Accordingly, I am returning this bill\nunsigned.\"\n#517\nSB 326 - Grunsky\nProvides that regularly employed coroners and deputy\ncoroners are peace officers and specifies their\nprimary duties, and their authority as peace officers.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"A major study\nwas completed and legislation\nenacted in 1968 to reduce and restrict the categories\nof persons who should be peace officers. This\nlegislation adds various new categories. Serious doubt\nhas been expressed regarding the need for additional\npeace officer classes especially so soon after such a\nmajor revision. I have learned that the legislature i\ngoing to continue its study of this subject in the\ninterim.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nSB 374 - Short\nAuthorizes establishment of bid processing service\n& Zenovich\nby subcontractors and prime contractors.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"Substantial\nquestions have been raised regarding\nthe Constitutionality of this proposal. The Attorney\nGeneral has rendered an opinion detailing his views of\nthe applicability of federal anti-trust laws to\nbid depository operations; he states that this bill\nwould be in conflict with those federal statutes and,\ntherefore, unconstitutional.\n\"The Legislative Counsel also rendered an opinion on\nthis bill which raises the possibility of unconstitu-\ntionality on the same grounds although his opinion is\nnot as positive as that of the Attorney General.\n\"Many letters of support and opposition have been\nreceived, both on the merits of the bill and on the\nlaw. However, in view of the problem of constitutional\nity, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nSB 360 - Collier\nAppropriates $13,348,647 from General Fund to the\nDepartment of Public Health for purposes of hospital\nconstruction under provisions of California Hospital\nSurvey and Construction Act.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"Last year when\nI approved legislation which provided\n$16 million for hospital construction I reaffirmed the\nState's policy that the responsibility for funding\nfuture hospital construction must rest at the local\nlevel. I have already approved SB 334 (Chapter 970,\nStatutes of 1969) which authorizes the State to\nguarantee loans for hospital construction. Since this\nalternate method of state assistance for such con=\nstruction is now available, I am returning Senate\nBill No. 360 unsigned.\"\nSB 468 - Bradley\nRequires the Department of Corrections to reimburse\ncounties and cities for the cost of care and mainten-\nance of parolees held in county or city jails, industri\nfarms or road camps. The bill requires that the\nSecretary of the Human Relations Agency set forth\nrules and regulations under which the above\nreimbursements shall be made.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"SB 468\nwould mandate a new \"service\" of\nrelatively low priority at a cost to the State of\nover $500,000 per year.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\n-8-\n#517\nSB 494 - Alquist\nIncreases contribution of blic employer by 0.14\npercent of the compensation paid to the members.\nDeletes optional settlement one under Public\nEmployees' Retirement System and instead provides\nthat the accumulated contributions not paid as\nretirement benefits to a retired member prior to\nhis death be paid to his designated beneficiary.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"SB 494 adds\nannual state cost of $1,500,000.\nThe necessary funds to implement this proposal have\nnot been included in the 1969-70 Budget. The\nbenefit improvement is not of such significance as\nwould warrant priority over other demands for state\nfunds in excess of that presently budgeted.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\nSB 511 - McCarthy\nProvides for special license for educational (school)\npsychologists under the \"Psychology Licensing Law.\"\nSpecifies that persons who are licensed under such\nlaw can perform functions authorized by this act.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"The\nqualifications required for the\neducational psychologist license category are too\nlow to afford adequate protection to the public. The\nbill provides recognition to a class of persons who\nperform psychology functions but have lesser\nprofessional qualifications than those required for a\nfull psychologist's license. For instance, they\ncould practice psychotherapy without supervision of a\nfully qualified psychologist. Creation of a\nspecial license in this field is further\nproliferation of license categories, which is not\nin the public interest.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.\"\n-9-\n#517\nSB 564 - Daukmejian\nWould confer \"law enforcement member\" status\nunder the Public Employees' Retirement\nSystem on institution fire chiefs and\ninstitution firemen employed by state\nagencies other than the Division of Forestry.\nIt is one of a number of bills presented to\nthis session of the legislature to provide\nsimilar status for various other groups of\nstate and local agency employees.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"The extension of such\n\"law enforcement member\" status to groups\nof employees beyond those traditionally\nrecognized as entitled thereto, such as\nlocal policemen and fire fighters and high-\nway patrolmen is the subject of a pending\ntask force study report. The tentative\nrecommendations are that there be no addi-\ntions to the member groups now entitled to\nlaw enforcement member benefits.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nSB 744 - Collier\nAppropriates $600,000 from the State Water\nQuality Control Fund to the State Water\nResources Control Board for a loan to the\nCity of Healdsburg for construction of\nsewage facilities.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"The State Water Resources\nControl Board has the responsibility of ad-\nministering the State Water Quality Control\nFund and had adopted rules and regulations\nfollowing public hearings to fairly determine\npriorities among applicants for the avail-\nable funds. Loans should continue to be\nmade in accordance with this established\nprocedure. Approval of this legislation\nwould tend to upset the orderly procedure\nby which the needs in this program area\nhave been heretofore met.\n\"The State Water Resources Control Board\nhas advised me that a loan to Healdsburg\ncould jeopardize the solution of the sewage\nproblems in the Lake Tahoe Basin because of\nthe limited resources available in the Water\nQuality Control Fund.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\nSB 775 - Teale\nOffers State and University employees a third\nchance to select OASDI coverage. It also\ncoordinates the Legislators' Retirement\nSystem with Social Security as of January 1,\n1964.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"I question the need to\nprovide state and university employees a\nthird opportunity to elect OASDI coverage.\nThis bill will require increased state\nretirement contributions of approximately\n$150,000 per year.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.\"\n-10-\n#517\nSB 805 - Burgener\nProvides additional llowance, as specified,\nfor support of driver training instruction\nfor physically handicapped and educationally\nhandicapped minors. Requires training to\nbe given by qualified teachers, as prescribed.\nDelcares legislative intent in regard to\nsuch driver training instruction.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"The author has requested\nthat I not approve Senate Bill No. 805 be-\ncause it would chapter out provisions for\nspecial education contained in Assembly Bill\nNo. 606 (Chapter 786, Statutes of 1969).\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nSB 843 - Beilenson\nAmends the Pharmacy Act to permit licensees\nof the Pharmacy Board to sell prophylactics\nto unmarried persons 18 years of age and\nyounger and permit persons to give pro-\nphylactics to each other as long as such\nprophylactics comply with standards pre-\nscribed by law or adopted by the board\npursuant to law.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"I am certainly aware of\nthe high incidence of venereal disease,\nparticularly among our young people.\nHowever, I seriously question whether the\nunlimited availability of prophylactics will\nsolve this admittedly difficult problem.\nThe moral issue inherent in this bill must\noutweigh whatever medical advantages which\nmight result from its approval.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nSB 865 - Short\nAppropriates $1,900,000 to the Department of\nEducation, in augmentation of appropriations\nfor support and other purposes, to be appor-\ntioned by the Department for the purpose of\nthe expansion of the enrollment of severely\nhandicapped minors and multi-handicapped\nminors in development centers for handicapped\nminors.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"Any expansion on a pri-\nority basis with other governmental expense\nitems during hearings on the budget bill.\n\"The augmentation now provided in this bill\nwas requested on March 10, 1969, by the\nDepartment of Education for the 1969-70 Budget.\nThis was well after known available funds\nwere allocated on a priority basis for the\n1969-70' year.

It re-\nquires that the gross revenue which is\ndeposited in the Fish and Game Preservation\nFund from some of these revenues shall be\nmatched by an annual appropriation from the\nGeneral Fund to be used for salmon preserva-\ntion and restoration programs.\nREASON FOR VETO: \"Governor Reagan said:\nSB 883 provides that\napproximately $215,000 from the General\nFund would be dedicated annually for a special\nfisheries program more appropriately financed by a special fund. I have\n-11-\n#517\nSB 883 (continued)\nalready approved AB 2232 which will provide\nan additional $800,000 in revenue for the\nFish and Game Preservation Fund through\nincreases in certain commercial fishing fees\nand licenses.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nSB 916 - Petris\nSanctions privately organized projects for\nthe control, prevention and rehabilitation\nof delinquency, which are community-based\nand provide housing and out-of-home counsel-\ning for both delinquents and those showing\ntendencies for delinquency. Authorizes them\nto receive payment for youths placed in the\nprojects on probation and parole. Provides\n21-year age limit on those living in project.\nExempts operation of residential facilities\nfrom licensing provisions for facilities for\nthe care of children under 16 years.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"This bill provides for\nthe sanction of privately organized projects\nfor the control and rehabilitation of delin-\nquents in a group home setting. However, it\nwould exempt the operation of the residential\nfacility from licensing provisions for\nfacilities that care for children under 16\nyears of age. SB 916 would require the\nDepartment of Youth Authority to set standards\nand approve projects that are established\nunder the bill but makes no provision for\nthe additional cost of implementing standards\nand approving projects. Accordingly, I am\nreturning the bull unsigned.'\nSB 949 - Short\nProvides that a minor who is arrested for a\nfelony without a warrant may petition the\ncourt for an order sealing all the records\nin the case if no complaint was filed after\nthe arrest. It makes it mandatory on the\ncourt to grant relief if the court finds the\nperson is eligible for such relief. The\nsection would apply to arrests made before\nas well as after the effective date of the\nbill.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"SB 949 would extend the\nconcept of sealing of records, presently\nlimited to misdemeanors, to felony offenses.\nSince the study of sealing of records is\nstill continuing, further legislation in this\nsubject area should be deferred until the\nstudy is completed.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nSB 1017 - Lagomarsino\nExempts from the sales tax tangible personal\nproperty incorporated into an aircraft to\nbe used or operated by the manufacturer as\na common carrier for outsize cargo.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"Applies to one corpora-\ntion. It is an extension of an existing\nexemption for a property incorporated into\nan aircraft which is to be leased to a common\ncarrier. The purpose of the existing exemp-\ntion is to protect the California aircraft\nindustry when it is dealing with third\nparties. The extension of the exemption\n-12-\n#517\nSB 1017 (continued,\nproposed by this bi\nis not consistent with\nthat purpose since it would cover a situation\nin which a California manufacturer is dealing\nwith itself as a common carrier, rather than\ndealing with a third party. Moreover, this\nprovision would exempt from tax property\npurchased by a manufacturer for its own use.\n\"It is estimated that the exemption proposed\nby this bill will result in a revenue loss\nof $480,000 to the state and $120,000 to\nlocal government.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nSB 1080 - Walsh\nProvides that final completion and acceptance\nof a project shall not await settlement of\nlegal action against the state or employee\nthereof, to which the contractor is not a\nparty.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"This bill does not accom-\nplish the intended purpose of precluding\nwithholding percentage payment on contracts\nunder the State Contract Act or State Col-\nlege Contract Act because of pending legal\naction against the contracting agency or\nemployee thereof to which the contractor\nis not a party. Any change which removes\nthe safeguard the state presently has by\nwithholding a percentage of the contract\nprice, until the contractor is absolutely\ncleared of a possibility of a third party\nsuit relating to any legal action pending\nagainst the state would not be acceptable.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nSB 1147 - Rodda\nAmends the Education provision dealing with\nthe right of teachers to join employee\norganizations of their own choice and to\nhave a voice in the formulation of educational\npolicy, adds that academic senates and\nfaculty councils established by a school\ndistrict in a junior college may represent\nthe faculty in making recommendations on\nacademic and professional matters to the\nadministration and governing boards of the\ndistrict.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"The\nBoard of Governors of the\nCommunity Colleges, has given a high priority\nto the development of the best possible means\nof providing members of junior college\nfaculties with an equitable means of\ncommunicating their respective views on a\nstatewide basis.

The bill makes such file open\nfor inspection of the employee and requires that\nthe school district give copies of such records to\nthe employee upon request.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said, \"Senate Bill\nNo. 1168 has potential for\nimpairing the effectiveness and the validity of the\nmerit system for securing and promoting school\nemployees. The requirement that ratings and\nexamination papers be made available to the employee\nmay tend to inhibit objective evaluation of candidates\nfor promotion by raters and screening committees.\n\"The bill also imposes extra costs on each school\ndistrict.

Crotti, in drawing up the noise regulations, which\nwill go into effect on January 1, 1971.\nAfter that date, violations of the noise standards will become\nmisdemeanors carrying a $1,000 fine levied against the aircraft\noperator.\nAB 645 received the active support of State Secretary for\nBusiness and Transportation, Gordon C.

I veto\nthis bill at this time not because I wish\nto discourage attempts at change in this\narea; on the contrary, I encourage change in th\nthe area covered by the bill. In my charge\nto the Commission on Educational Reform,\nteacher preparation and credentialling were\nstated to be of high priority.\n\"Because so many responsible educators\nreport sections of the bill which they 'don't\"\nunderstand, because of elements within the\nbill which are seen by some as contradic-\ntory, because there is a major question as\nto whether testing for measuring the quali-\nfications of teachers is a hope for the\nfuture or a proven dinosaur of the past,\nbecause there are questions regarding the\njurisdiction and responsibility of the State\nBoard of Education in its relationship to\nthe commission suggested by AB 740, and,\nfinally, because, where there are so many\nquestions, it would be so much better to\ndevelop clear answers before, and not after,\na bill becomes law, I veto this measure--\nbut express my hopes that the legislature,\nthe Commission on Educational Reform, and\nothers will see the basic elements of AB\n740 as provocative and worthy of study and\ndiscussion. I hope that AB 740 will serve\nas a stimulus and that its veto will not\nserve to discourage consideration of change\nin an area needing it badly, and I assume\nthat by the next legislative session we will\nhave a strong consensus around a clearly\nunderstood and well developed program of\nlegislation--or changes in policy and pro-\ncedures within present departments and\nboards to improve the preparation, evalua-\ntion, and certification of teachers.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\nAB 764 - Chappie\nAmends the Government Code provisions en-\nacted in 1968 relating to access to public\nbuildings by physically handicapped persons,\nprimarily to have the provisions apply to\nbuildings which are altered, remodeled, or\nrenovated with state or local government\nfunds. It also adds provisions that the\nState Building Standards Commission shall\nadopt rules and regulations, which may in-\nclude a schedule of fees to pay the cost\nof enforcement, and provides that the\nCommission rather than the Director of Gen-\neral Services shall enforce the act where\nstate or any public school funds are\nutilized.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"I question the transfer\nof functions from the Department of General\nServices to the State Building Standards\nCommission.\n-2-\n#527\n\"Under present law the Director of General\nServices had delegated responsibilities\nconcerning this subject to the State\nBuilding Standards Commission, which has\nadopted rules and regulations, including\nenforcement procedures. Such responsibility\nshould continue to be assigned to the\nDirector of General Services. These powers\nneed to be retained with the Director in\norder to continue the flexibility needed to\naccomplish the responsibilities involved in\nthis program.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nAB 797 - Powers\nWould abolish the present 19 member Calif.\nExposition and Fair Executive Committee and\ncreate a 5-member California State Exposi-\ntion and Fair Board. The board membership\nwould consist of the State Controller, the\nState Treasurer and the 3 members of the\nState Public Works Board. The bill would\nrequire that the 'permanent exposition' and\nan \"annual fair\" be constructed, operated\nand maintained by a private corporation\nthrough a contractual agreement with the\nBoard.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"The State Exposition and\nFair Committee is currently carrying on\nactive negotiations for the transfer of\nthe operation of Cal Expo to a private\ncorporation. I believe that these negotia-\ntions would be adversely affected if the\nState Exposition and Fair Committee were\nreplaced by the proposed California Exposi-\ntion and Fair Board at this time. I do not\nbelieve that this change is in the public\ninterest.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.'\nAB 871 = McCarthy\nWould increase the survivor allowance upon\ndeath of a member of the Public Employees'\nRetirement System after attaining eligibi-\nlity for retirement from 50% to 65% of the\nallowance which the member would have re-\nceived had he retired.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"This bill would result\nin an additional annual cost to the State\nof $1,000,000. The additional funds to\nimplement this proposal were not included\nin the budget. While the added benefit\nmay not be without merit, it cannot be\ngiven sufficient priority among the many\nadditional demands for state funds to\nwarrant its approval at this time.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nAB 969 - MacDonald\nAppropriates $75,000 from the Motor Vehicle\nFund to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles for the\nestablishment of a branch office in the\nSimi Valley-Thousand Oaks area in Ventura\nCounty.

The office would have an annual\noperating cost of $50,000 to $60,000.\n-3-\n#527\nAB 969 - MacDonald\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n(contd.)\n\"Service to the area in\nquestion is now provided by Department of\nMotor Vehicles offices at Oxnard, Ventura\nand Canoga. The additional cost of estab-\nlishing this new office is not warranted at\nthis time.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned. =\nAB 1064 - Powers\nThis bill places employees of the California\nDisaster Office under the State Civil Service\nSystem.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\" Such civil service status\nwas also proposed in AB 1729, which involved\na comprehensive revision of the California\nDisaster Act. AB 1729 was referred to interim\nstudy by the Legislature and will be reintro-\nduced, including the civil service provisions,\nat the next session of the Legislature. Since\nit is desirable that changes in the Disaster\nOffice, including personnel status and polic-\nies, be effected as part of a coordinated\nand integrated program, the partial change\ninvolved in AB 1064 should be deferred and\nincorporated in the more complete legislative\nmeasure being prepared for the 1970 session.\nIt is noted that in the meantime Disaster\nOffice employees are protected under the\ninterim merit system.\n= I have discussed this with Robert Carlson,\nthe President of the California State Employ-\nees' Association, and have assured him of\nmy support for civil service status for\nDisaster Office employees.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.'\nAB 1148 - Deddeh\nProvides that certain teachers may receive\nretirement credit for portions of out-of-\nstate teaching service.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"In 1967 I vetoed a simi-\nlar proposal which was somewhat more exten-\nsive in its scope. The cost to the State of\nAB 1148 is estimated by its proponents to\nbe $91,000.000. The benefits proposed in\nthis bill accrued from service outside of\nthe State of California and the correspond-\ning benefit was to the residents of those\nstates. Therefore I cannot ask the taxpayers\nof California to assume their cost.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.\nAB 1248 - Monagan\nIncreases, for the 1970-71 and 1971-72 fiscal\nyears, the number of available scholarships\nunder the state competitive scholarship pro-\ngram from 2 percent to 3 percent of the\nnumber of California high school graduates\nof the previous year. It increases such\npercentage to 4 percent for 1972-73 and the\nfiscal years thereafter.\n-4-\n#527\nAB 1248 - Monagan\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n(contd.)\n\"Although the State\nScholarship program is extremely worthwhile,\nthe bill nevertheless would require an addi-\ntional State expenditure of $2.6 million in\n1970-71. The long range costs are even more\nsubstantial with an estimated additional\nannual cost of $16.3 million by 1974-75.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.

This bill, if approved,\nwould result in a net revenue loss to the\nState of $4,500,000 in 1969-70.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.\"\nAB 1544 - Zenovich\nRequires the Department of Military and\nVeterans Affairs to establish contract amor-\ntization schedules which take into account\nlow income and earning ability for the\npurpose of home or farm purchase under the\nVeterans' Farm and Home Purchase Act of 1943.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"For some years the Depart-\nment of Veterans Affairs has been administer-\ning an extended-term loan program for those\nveterans with below-average incomes, by\nextending Cal-Vet loan terms beyond the usual\n23 years up to the statutory limit of 40 years.\nThis bill confers no additional authority,\nimposes no additional limitation, nor aids\nthe Department of Veterans Affairs in admin-\nistering its extended-term loan program.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nAB 1579 - Dunlap\nExempts from the provisions making it un-\nprofessional conduct for a doctor to prescribe\nspecified dangerous drugs without prior\nexamination of a patient or medical indication\ntherefor, the prescribing of such drugs by\nprescription to any agent or employee of law\nenforcement agency, including the California\nState Board of Pharmacy, or drug manufacturer\nfor specified investigative activities.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"I seriously question the\nneed for drug manufacturers being given\nauthority to enforce State laws relating to\ndrugs. This is a matter that can be best\nhandled by duly constituted regulatory\nagencies such as the California State Board\nof Pharmacy.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.\n#527\nAB 1582 - Dunlap\nIncreases the number of judges in the Solano\nCounty Superior Court from 3 to 4.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"The Judicial Council\nreports that the Solano County Superior\nCourt will need 3.2 judges to carry its\nprojected caseload through 1969-70. The\nSolano court's workload statistics do not\nsupport the need for another judge at this\ntime.\"\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.\nAB 1640 - Bagley\nTransfers existing sections in the Govern-\nment Code relating to hotel and mobilehome\noccupancy taxes to the Revenue and Taxation\nCode. The bill also specifies that the\nhotel occupancy tax shall be the same rate\nas the general sales tax.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"The setting of the hotel\noccupancy tax rate is a prerogative of local\ngovernment. There is no compelling reason\nwhy the State should fix the hotel occupancy\ntax rate.\"\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nAB 1860 - Z'berg\nPermits the Department of Veterans Affairs\nto establish a waiting list and commitment\nsystem for granting loans when funds are not\nimmediately available.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"On several occasions\nduring the past 10 years, Cal-Vet loan\ncommitments have been issued by the Depart-\nment of Veterans Affairs when loan funds were\nnot immediately available. Most recently\nthe Department has been issuing loan commit-\nments on loan requests since April of this\nyear. This bill confers no additional\nauthority, imposes no additional limitation,\nnor aids the Department of Veterans Affairs\nin administering its loan commitment program.\"\n\"Accordingly, I am returning the bill un-\nsigned.\"\nAB 1930 - Sieroty\nMakes a number of substantive changes in\nthe law relating to child care services and\nchildren's center construction.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"It isn't possible to\ndetermine the total fiscal impact of AB 1930.\nChanges in this important program area must\nof necessity be capable of proper fiscal\nevaluation.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.

Under present state law county\nparticipation in such programs is voluntary.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"I am opposed to mandating\nprograms on local government, particularly\nwhen the cost of such programs must be borne\nby the local entity.

It appropriates\n$102, 000 to be used for the employment of\nsix visiting teachers and one supervisor in\n1969-70.\"\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"The subject of this bill\nis an item for budgetary review and should\nbe considered along with all other programs\ncompeting for available funds on a priority\nbasis.\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.\"\n-7-\n#527\nSB 1326 - Marler\nProvides a special separate transportation\nallowance for junior college districts\ntransporting pupils residing 10 or more miles\nfrom the attendance center.\nREASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said:\n\"Although the cost would not\nbe substantial, this bill represents an\nincrease in the State School Fund for what\nI believe is a low priority item in the\ntotal school picture.\"\n\"Accordingly, I am returning this bill un-\nsigned.\"\n#\n-8-\nSacramento, Californ la\nContact:\nPaul E k\n445-4571\n9-5-69\n#528\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation authorizing state\n/ing\nmatch funds to expand the existing local-federal program that provides\nfree or reduced cost meals to needy California school children.\nBut the governor called the measure a \"poorly drafted program based\non an unfair administrative formula that provides no help at all to\nschool districts which do not already have a locally-funded school lunch\nprogram.\n\"These technical defects must be corrected, the governor said\n\"before the state matching fund allocation is expanded beyond a pilot\nprogram basis.\"\nThe bill (SB-1393, Moscone) establishes statutory authority for the\nstate to match on a dollar-for-dollar basis the local funds that school\ndistricts spent during the prior year for lunch subsidies. It included\na $5 million allocation.\nIn signing the measure, Governor Reagan exercised his authority to\nscale back the initial allocation to $500,000, a sum he said would permit\nthe State Department of Education to finance a pilot program to develop\n\"workable administrative procedures to guarantee that these matching\nfunds really end up feeding more children and do not simply allow school\ndistricts to use this new state aid to pay for existing lunch subsidy\nprograms previously financed with local funds.\"\n\"I have also directed the Director of Finance to hold back these\nfunds (the $500,000) until the State Department of Education drafts\nsufficiently strong regulations to assure that this money is effectively\ndistributed for the purpose it is intended.\"\nGovernor Reagan said he had been advised that the \"technical defects\nin this legislation leave so many unresolved administrative questions\nthat a veto is more than justified.\n\"However, I fully endorse the goal providing meals for more hungry\nchildren. For that reason, I am signing this bill so that the program\nmight be tested on a pilot basis to permit state participation in the\nexisting local-federal school lunch program.\"\nLegal and fiscal aids to the governor said since SB-1393 allows the\nstate only to match what local school districts spent for lunch subsidies\nin the previous year, it does not necessarily guarantee that the money\nwould be directed to the most deserving districts.\n- 1 -\n#528\nLos Angeles, for example, which had a heavy concentration of poverty\nlevel children, but which does not devote any local funds for lunch\nsubsidies, will not be eligible for any aid at all.\n\"Other districts which already have locally-financed school lunch\nprograms could have been able to claim the entire amount of state money\nallocated for nutritional subsidies,\" \" the governor said.\nIn addition, Governor Reagan said SB-1393 as originally constructed\npermitted direct state cash grants to go to private and parochial schools,\na situation that raises \"serious Church-State constitutional questions.\" \"\n\"After these legal and administrative problems have been ironed out\nand a workable formula is adequately tested, the legislature can then\ndetermine how the state might best add to the current federal local\nschool lunch-breakfast program.

Moe,\nDirectorof Public Works; William Gianelli, Director of Water Resources;\nFred Hummel, State Architect; James Dwight, Chief Deputy Director of\nFinance; Charles Le Menager, Director of Housing and Community\nDevelopment, and Art Costamagna, Deputy Director, Department of Commerce.\nThe combined membership represents all units of California government\nthat are involved in construction to a major degree.\nThe task force will inventory all major capital outlay projects\nscheduled for award or advertising by the State of California during the\nnext 20 months. That period represents the budgetary period through\n1970-71. Results of this inventory will be compiled and presented to\nthe governor.\nMeanwhile a temporary halt on the awarding or advertising of new\ncontracts in the state has been requested by Luce pending a decision\nfrom the governor.\nLuce, however, has asked each department to use discretion and\ncontinue ahead with such awards and advertising on projects that are\nessential to the safety and health of the people of California.\nAccording to Luce, the task force will also attempt to determine\nwhat federal programs in California will be affected by Nixon's 75 percent\ncutback.\nSeveral economists in state government have been asked to advise the\ntask force and Robert La Liberte, Management Analyst, General Services,\nwill serve as staff to this short-term committee.\nIn addition, advice will be asked of leading private economists and\nrepresentative members of the private sector before recommendations are\nmade to the governor.\n- 1 -\n#532\n\"It is our aim to cooperate fully with the president by apprising\nthe governor of ways in which California can help with this important\nnationwide çoal to curb inflation,\" Luce said. \"Our task force will\ncarefully evaluate all projects and their impact on the state's\neconomy before recommendations to postpone or delay projects are made.\n\"It is our hope, that by pooling and coordinating all information,\nany cutbacks will broadly involve many state programs and not severely\ncurtail or drastically affect any particular one, in any single\ngeographic area.\n\"We will certainly want to consider how such delays in federal and\nstate programs will affect unemployment and housing in California,\"\nLuce said.\n########\nEJG\n- 2 -\nSacramento, Califor\nContact:\nPaul Bi\n445-4571\n9-10-6,\n#533\nThe following statement was issued today by Governor Ronald Reagan\nin reference to \"HIRE THE FORTY-PLUS WORKER\" WEEK, September 15 through\n19, 1969.\n\"Next week, the State Employment Service will be conducting a campaign\nto promote equal job opportunities for middle-aged workers: those\naged over 40. There are several good reasons why this campaign should\nreceive the support of all employers.\n\"In the first place, there is plenty of scientific and statistical\nevidence available now to dispel that old idea that a person is somehow\nless capable after his 40th birthday. In fact, ability and skill\nusually improve with years of experience. And men and women in the\n40-plus age group of employees are generally above average in terms of\nloyalty, stability, judgement and resourcefulness. The National\nAssociation of Manufacturers calls them the 'cream of the crop.'\n\"It is therefore simply good business for employers to hire on the\nbasis of qualifications and ability to do the job, regardless of age.\nAnd that's what the campaign is all about. There's a disproportionate\nnumber of unemployed in the 40-plus age group and we believe this will\nquickly be corrected if age discrimination is eliminated from hiring\npractices.\n\"Secondly, from the standpoint of what's best for the state, we\nmust keep in mind that nearly half of our adult population in California\nis aged 40 or older and every year the percentage of 40-plus workers\nincreases. Therefore, an increasing share of the manpower needs of our\nexpanding economy must be met by these workers. In other words, we\nshould be reversing the trend and employing more 40-plus workers.\n\"To have able, qualified and willing workers on the unemployment\nrolls simply because they were born before 1929 makes no sense. It's\na waste of our resources, it's bad for the economy and it hurts the\ntaxpayer unnecessarily, including employers.\n\"So it's in everyone's interest that employers give this campaign\ntheir full support. If hiring is conducted objectively, on the basis\nof ability to do the job regardless of age, more employers will be\nhiring 40-plus workers, not only next week but as a regular practice\nin the future.\"\n# # #\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE:\nliate\nSacramento, Californ\nContact:\nPaul Be\n445-4571\n9-10-69\n#534\nGovernor Ronald Reagan issued the following statement on learning\nof the death of Peter Weinberger, State Director of Industrial Relations:\n\"Nancy and I were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death\nof Peter Weinberger.

I feel that this is necessary for the state to meet its moral\nobligations to contractors and workers.\n\"However, we are ready to implement a plan which could amount to\nmore than $200 million in capital outlay deferrals.

From January through June, nearly 65,000 persons\nwere arrested in this state on drug abuse charges; some 20,500 of them\nwere youngsters under 18 years of age. This is a 50 percent increase ove:\narrests for a similar period in 1968, and indicates that drug abuse is\nnearing epidemic proportions in California.\n\"In addition to activities conducted by various departments of state\ngovernment, my office and the office of the lieutenant governor, have\nbeen taking steps during the past year to develop solutions to this\ncritical problem, with emphasis on utilizing the resources of the private\nand volunteer sectors.\n\"In August, 1968, we began working with the California PTA,\nCalifornia Medical Association and California Peace Officers Association\nto encourage formation of drug abuse committees in high schools and junior\nhigh schools.\n\"Last October, we formed, in conjunction with the California Medical\nAssociation, the Interagency Council on Drug Abuse, which is designed to\nbring together representatives of public and private agencies in an\neffort to develop coordinated solutions. Dr. Edward R. Bloomquist, of\nGlendale, chairman of the interagency council, is with us here today.\n\"Just three months ago, in June, another approach to this serious\nproblem began in California--a mass media public education program.\nDetails of this program will be presented to you in a few moments. The\nprogram is being conducted by Grey Advertising, of San Francisco, in\ncooperation with my office and the California Medical Association. It\nrepresents an outstanding example of a cooperative commitment by\ngovernment and the private sector to work together to help solve the\nproblems of our citizens.\n- 1 -\n#541\n\"Experts point out that there is a desperate need to set the record\nstraight on the subject of drug abuse. A program such as this is\ndesigned to help enlighten both parents and youngsters. Our citizens\nmust be able to define the extent of the problem and learn what they can\ndo about it before they can act appropriately, and not in strictly an\nemotional way, against the further advancement of the illicit drug\nculture.\n\"The first objective is to reduce the information vacuum about the\neffects of dangerous drugs with informative material that is direct,\naccurate and medically-sound. Initial newspaper advertisements and radio\nand television announcements have been produced and distributed to media\nthroughout the state. Additional material is being developed and will\nbe provided the communications media in the future.\n\"Some 55 business firms, associations and foundations have\ncontributed funds to sustain the program. Other companies and individuals\nare contributing production assistance, talent and services without\ncharge or \"at cost.\" Well-known spokesmen dedicated to public service,\nlike Jack Webb and Robin King, have provided their talents without charge.\nPrivate citizens, broadcast stations, newspapers and firms whose\nactivities relate to the mass media have offered to donate their services.\n\"Acceptance of the program by broadcast and print media, individually\nand through associations, has been gratifying. Pledges of support have\nbeen made by the California Newspaper Publishers Association, California\nBroadcasters Association, Southern California Broadcasters Association\nand the California Outdoor Advertising Association. The entire program\nis a testimonial to the ability and willingness of the private sector to\nwork for the betterment of California's human environment.\n\"I want to introduce several others here, who will make a few comment\nbefore your question-and-answer period. I have asked Lieutenant Governor\nEd Reinecke to head a task force on narcotics law enforcement in relation\nto the Mexican border.

Regulations adopted\n/er\nmore than 18 months ago prevented any buy from reselling, loaning or even\nshowing any portion of the list.\nUnder these stringent requirements, only two firms were purchasing\nthe information and each has been furnishing the department five copies\nof all mailings sent to any portion of the list.\nCoupled with the governor's request to the department to discontinue\nselling driver's license lists, the governor asked all cabinet members to\nsurvey information sold or given away by departments and to report back\nto him. He said \"the action is just another example of the administration\nmany efforts in the field of consumer protection.\"\nThe Governor's action does not alter the department's policy in\nanswering, for a fee, individual inquiries about information in the\ndriver's license file. However, by law, the department cannot reveal\nconfidential information concerning the physical or mental condition of\ndrivers.\nRegistration information, which is impersonal in nature, and widely\nused by businesses, is not affected by the governor's action. Vehicle\nregistration files have been open to the public since the first car was\nlicensed in California in 1905. Driver's license files have been open to\nthe public since the first operator was licensed in 1915.\nWhen it became apparent in 1941 that the number of individuals\ngetting information from the files was seriously hampering the work of\ndepartmental employees, the legislature authorized the department to sell\nthe information. It has been sold for 18 years.\n#######\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNO\nRELEASE: Imm Liate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n9-22-69\n#550\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today took action to further strengthen the\nadministration's consumer protection program by creating a Division of\nConsumer Affairs in the State Department of Professional and Vocational\nStandards.\nHe said the new division will include the office of Consumer Counsel\nMrs. Kay Valory and will provide her with additional administrative\nsupport at no additional cost to the taxpayer.\nAlso included in the division will be the Collection Agency\nLicensing Bureau, Bureau of Electronic Repair Dealer Registration,\nBureau of Employment Agencies, Bureau of Furniture and Bedding Inspection,\nand Bureau of Private Investigators and Adjustors.\nThe governor said his action will provide a focal point for consumer\ninquiries by bringing together a number of key consumer protection\nagencies in state government.\n\"By expanding the administrative services available to the consumer\ncounsel, our consumer protection program will find even broader\napplication. At the same time, the centralization of the program into\na single unit will result in obvious administrative efficiencies, the\ngovernor said.\n\"This administration's consumer protection efforts,\" he said, \"are\naimed at producing practical results by reconciling differences and\nresolving problems between consumers and private enterprise. We do not\nintend to spend taxpayer dollars as was too often the case prior to\n1967---to harass business and industry, and exploit consumer complaints\nfor propaganda purposes.\n\"On the other hand, \" he said, \"reports of abuses against consumers\nhave been, and will continue to be, referred to proper law enforcement\nofficials for prosecution, under our consumer protection program.\n\"The newly created division recognizes and emphasizes the close\nrelationship between the consumer counsel and the regulatory functions of\nthe Department of Professional and Vocational Standards and other agencies\nof the Executive Branch, II he added.\n- 1 -\n#550\nThe governor announced that Donald G.

This is no\nlonger a problem restricted to high school students. Addiction and\ndrug abuse has spread to the junior high schools and even the elementary\nschools.\n\"Last month in San Diego alone, six deaths were attributed to drug\noverdose. Los Angeles officially records around 100 deaths a year from\ndrug overdose. Unofficially, we are told that the mortality rate from\ndrug overdose in Los Angeles is closer to 400 more than one death per\nday.\n\"The Department of Justice reports that while marijuana remains\nthe favorite of users, the use of more dangerous drugs is increasing\nat an alarming rate.\n\"Over the years many different methods have been tried to stem the\nflow of narcotics and dangerous drugs into the United States. But the\nflow hasn't been stopped. It has increased to a flood.\n\"Most officials estimate that as much as 80 percent of the\nnarcotics and dangerous drugs that flow into this country are smuggled\n.cross the Mexican border.\n\"The federal government through Operation Intercept is attempting\nCO bring it to a halt.\nand\n\"I fully support President Nixon in this operation/pledged to the\nfederal government our complete cooperation and offered any assistance\nnecessary.\n-1-\n#557\n\"For some time now, Lt. Governor Ed Reinecke and his task force\non the border problems have been meeting with federal and state\nnarcotics officials and will continue to do SO.\n\"There is no question that this project has caused more incon-\nvenience to tourists and workers who cross the border regularly. Some\nare obviously experiencing a measure of economic hardship.\n\"But if this were an epidemic desease that crippled and took the\nlives of our youth, the economic hardships and the inconvenience to\ntravelers would be considered inconsequential by all thinking\nCalifornians.\n\"Narcotics addiction and the use of dangerous drugs is as\ndamaging to this nation and its future generations as any disease\nspread by a germ.\n\"The economic hardship to some and the inconvenience to travelers\ncan not be balanced on the same scale with shattered lives, heart-\nbroken families and the astronomical cost of courts, judges, juvenile\nfacilities, law enforcement agencies and the rehabilitation and treat-\nment costs required to treat the addicted.\n\"There is only one way to stop an epidemic. And that is to\nisolate the virus that causes it and destroy it. Operation Intercept\nis trying to do just that.\"\n# # #\n-2-\nEJG"
