FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
445-4141
November 3, 1969
The additional $12.9 million so-called "free surplus" reported
today by Controller Houston Flournoy will be added to the amount
available for capital construction for higher education under the
automatic formulas adopted by the legislature in July, State Finance
Director Caspar W. Weinberger said today.
"We are delighted that Reagan administration economies have, at
least in part, been responsible for holding expenditures below estimates,
although, at the same time, it is disquieting to note that continued
inflation has boosted revenues a bit above the predictions," he said.
"It should be noted," Weinberger continued, "that the difference
between the Department of Finance's May estimate of revenues and the
final actual figure reported today by the controller is 1.1 percent
($4.088 billion versus $4.136 billion).
"The difference between the expenditures as estimated in May by
all the various agencies of the state (and reported to the Department of
Finance) and the November actuals is 0.77 percent ($4.026 billion versus
$3.995 billion), he said.
"Included in these small fractional changes from estimates to actual
figures is, as the controller has said, information that was not available
at the time the agencies sent their reports of accrued expenditures to
the Department of Finance and the controller earlier this year,"
Weinberger explained.
"This certainly illustrates one of the major disadvantages of the
accrual system which was adopted several years ago.
"An amusing sidelight to the controller's report is Assemblyman
Unruh's 100 percent error in trying to estimate what the controller's
figures were going to be," Weinberger said.
"Last week in a letter to Alan Post, which somehow got to the press,
Unruh predicted there was going to be a 'substantial increase' above the
August surplus figures and that 'most, if not all of the increase is
attributable to inflated estimates of the cost' of Medi-Cal.
- 1 -
"As is getting to be the usual thing, Mr. Unruh was wrong on all
counts.
"The actual figure," Weinberger said, "was up from August only
$12.9 million out of some $4 billion general fund expenditures. And,
none of this figure was due to 'inflated estimates of the cost of
Medi-Cal.'
"Errors of this magnitude by Mr. Unruh are getting to be commonplace.
It seems as if it were only last week that he was publicly announcing
a major error in the school bill, which on closer examination does not
appear to be even a minor one, or, for that matter, one at all.
"A combination of ignorance, insufficient staff work and an
increasingly desperate need to try to gain political credit have led
Assemblyman Unruh into a series of errors of such magnitude that
Mr. Post might, indeed, wish to audit him.
"Of course, part of Mr. Unruh's current problem is that he is
feeling the frustration common to all big spenders of the people's money
during the course of the governor's administration.
"Assemblyman Unruh says that if only he had known there was going
to be a bigger surplus he would have made sure it was spent.
"Fortunately, the governor's tax reduction program prevailed,"
Weinberger said.

November 4, 1969
Charles R. LeMenager, director of the State Department of Housing
and Community Development today announced that members of industry and
government have been invited to view a number of new concepts used in
the construction of housing units for low-income families at an Open
House November 13 at the Butte County Housing Authority in Gridley.
LeMenager said the project is being carried on by his department
in several rural communities of California. Units have been constructed
which emphasize both low cost and adaptability of the housing to the
needs of farm workers.
He noted that information gained through the construction of these
prototype units is being used in metropolitan areas as well as rural
communities.
The Open House scheduled for 2 p.m. aims to promote new concepts
which industry can employ in the field of low-income housing. Governor
Reagan called the project "an excellent example of industry-government
cooperation to help provide low-income families with the opportunity
to live in decent, sanitary housing not only in our cities, but also
in the rural areas of California."

Governor Ronald Reagan has announced that California will become
the first state in the nation to use a computer to instantly make and
confirm reservations for campers in state parks.
The new system, which becomes operational after January 5, will
make it possible for a vacationist to electronically reserve a campsite
or select an alternate in a matter of seconds by simply pushing a few
buttons.
"This is another example of how creative thinking can provide the
answer to vexing problems, speed up efficiency and save the taxpayer
money in the process," the governor pointed out.
"Under the old system, a vacationist could wait several weeks to
learn whether a campsite was available or he would take his family to
a state park only to learn that there was no space available.
"We have now set up what any citizen should be able to expect on a
vacation--the opportunity to reserve in advance and know the space will
be there," he said.
William Penn Mott, Jr., Director of Parks and Recreation, predicted
that "this space age technique will set up a unique precedent for
convenience and speed which I believe will be copied by other states
across the nation."
A network of computer terminals located in key metropolitan areas
of central and southern California will provide instant confirmation and
reservations to 87 campgrounds in 70 units of the California State Park
System, Mott reported.
To enable campers in all areas an equal opportunity to take
advantage of the new system, mail requests postmarked no earlier than
January 1 will be accepted and fed into the terminals installed at the
Department of Parks and Recreation Headquarters in Sacramento. The
current service charge of $1 will remain the same.
Under the system, Mott said, a prospective camper will go to a
local terminal in a bank, store or market. He will indicate the park
and dates he desires and the type and size of his equipment.
The operator will place this information into the system and within
a few seconds a message will appear on a display screen indicating if
the space and dates are available or it will offer alternatives.
-1-
#605
When the location and date are acceptable to the camper, he will
pay the full fees due plus a $1 service charge. With the reservation
confirmed, the machine will produce a ticket showing the name of the
park, the date of the first night, the number of nights, site size and
the camper's name.
Reservations can be made all year long for dates throughout the
calendar year. The cutoff date to make campsite reservations in any
calendar week (Sunday through Saturday night) will be the Tuesday
preceding that week.
Under the new system, reservations will not be made at parks.
Mail requests can be made only at the state headquarters office in
Sacramento and mail reservations must be made on a department reservation
form which will be available in mid-December.
"About 6,600 State Park campsites in California, ranging from
primitive to sophisticated camping grounds, are available," Mott said.

Governor Ronald Reagan has announced the award of the largest
concession development contract in the history of the State Parks
System as a "major step toward meeting California's recreational needs."
The contract, between the Department of Parks and Recreation and
the Southern California Financial Corporation, calls for the joint
development of $7 million worth of facilities in the Oroville Reservoir
Recreation Area during the next five years.
"This agreement is another example of how team work between
government and private enterprise can meet the recreational needs of
our growing state without placing additional burdens on the taxpayer,"
Governor Reagan said.
Pointing out that the agreement will expedite development at
Oroville Reservoir, the governor said the plan can serve as a pattern
for other reservoir developments in the state water project.
Under the agreement, the Southern California Financial Corporation,
a subsidiary of City Investing Company of New York, will spend
approximately $2 million in concession facilities at Oroville Reservoir.
Initial projects amounting to approximately $561,000 are expected
to be completed by June 1, 1971.
Terms of the contract call for the concessionnaire to pay the
state 3 percent of gross receipts of the first $500,000, 4 percent of
the next $1,000,000 and 5 percent of everything over $1,500,000.
Among the developments planned at the Oroville Reservoir in the
Spillway Ramp, Loafer Creek, Bidwell Canyon and Kelly Ridge areas are
marinas, restaurants, snack bars, food and supply stores, a "trackless
train," access roads, trailer camps, camping and picnicking areas, boat
launching ramps, a system of trails, utilities, shower and laundry
facilities, gift shops, a visitor center complex and parking areas.
Many of the state's facilities are already completed and the
balance are expected to be finished by June of 1971.

Governor Ronald Reagan today called upon all citizens who support
the goal of peace without surrender in Southeast Asia to actively observe
the Week of National Unity, set for November 9-16.
In a statement, the governor said:
"I urge all citizens who believe in, and back, the goal of peace
without surrender in Southeast Asia to participate actively in the
observance of the forthcoming Week of National Unity.
"By taking part in prayer sessions, flying the flag, driving with
headlights on, and in a myriad of other individual ways, our solemn
observance of the occasion, as citizens, will demonstrate to the world,
and to Hanoi, that the president of the United States does not stand
alone in his determination to achieve an honorable settlement of the
Vietnam War.
"Surely, the enemy will not negotiate seriously as long as he sees
and hears only massive expressions of disunity in our land.
"A massive observance of the Week of National Unity will be a clear
message to Hanoi---that we are a people united in our search for a just
peace, but that peace cannot and will not be obtained at the price of
surrender.

Governor Ronald Reagan today called on Californians to visibly
demonstrate their support for American principles by participating in
Veterans Day and National Unity Week observances.
Urging Californians to actively comemmorate Veterans Day, the
governor warned, "Our greatest enemy today is the complacent, apathetic
attitude of the general public who hesitate to become involved in
anything.
"Unless the silent majority are willing to demonstrate, by some
visible means, the voices of the militants, dissidents and malcontents
will be heard in ever increasing numbers," he said.
Reminding the people that there are more than 27 million veterans
in the nation, almost three million of whom live in California, the
governor said, "they have fought valiantly; proudly in the same tradition
free men have fought since time immemorial.
"Freedom to dissent or speak out without fear exists in
America today only because these gallant members of our armed forces
believed more in duty, honor and country than they did in self
preservation."
Governor Reagan again urged Californians, who support the goal
of peace without surrender in Southeast Asia, to actively observe
the Week of National Unity (November 9-16) by joining in prayer sessions,
flying the flag, driving with headlights on and participating in other
patriotic demonstrations.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of Robert
C. Walker as director of the newly created State Department of Navigation
and Ocean Development.
Formation of the department resulted from a reorganization plan
proposed by the governor and granted by the 1969 legislature to
restructure and consolidate agencies of the executive branch relating to
ocean resources.
The new department which went into effect today replaces the
State Department of Harbors and Watercraft which Walker has headed for
the past year. Under the reorganization, the Navigation and Ocean
Development Department will have primary responsibility for all ocean-
oriented activities of state government.
Governor Reagan called the ocean "California's last major undeveloped
resource. We are only at the threshold of knowledge of the sea itself
and of the development and use of its vast resources."
He said the new department will provide the necessary structure of
government so that a Comprehensive Ocean Area Plan for California can
become a reality.
In noting the importance he attaches to the plan, the governor said
he is designating Lt. Governor Ed Reinecke "to assume overall leadership
in the administration's effort to assure orderly recreational and
commercial development of the ocean. The Lt. Governor's interest in,
and knowledge of, the ocean, and the vast opportunities it contains for
the people and economy of the state, give him unique qualifications for
this task."
Governor Reagan said, "Creation of the new department makes Californi
the first state to concentrate all its ocean-oriented activities into a
single agency.
"It will give us a truly coordinated approach to harnessing the last
great untapped resource of California.
"I believe the department will be the key to California's ocean
future. Its formation now insures that our state will remain in the
vanguard of oceanography, marine research, ocean conservation and ocean
resources development among the states, and nations of the world.

"It not only will guarantee the wisest use of this resource but
also will insure that California will be both a leader and helper to all
its Pacific Ocean Basin Neighbors as the exploration and uses of the
'inner space' of the seas advances into the next century," he said.
Under the governor's reorganization, the boating facility planning
and design functions of the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the
Office of Architecture and Construction, have been transferred to the
Department of Navigation and Ocean Development. The beach erosion
control functions of the Department of Water Resources also come under
the jurisdiction of the new department.
Walker, 43, joined the administration last December. In his new
post, he will earn $25,000 per year.

Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today urged Housing and Urban
Development Secretary George Romney to select a California site for
development of an Operation Breakthrough prototype project.
In a telegram to Secretary Romney, Lieutenant Governor Reinecke
pointed out that California represents the largest housing market in the
nation and has made "a concerted effort to encourage new ideas in
housing."
Operation Breakthrough is a program financed through federal
funds and private investments to stimulate the production of quality
housing through new building techniques, materials and methods.
Under the plan, eight prototype sites will be developed around
the nation as "housing fairs" to demonstrate the new systems.
California has proposed eleven potential sites for consideration.
In his telegram to the Secretary, Lieutenant Governor Reinecke
said, "In California we have demonstrated our leadership in the housing
field by enacting the first law in the nation that paves the way for
factory built housing systems.
"We have also made a concerted effort to encourage new ideas in
housing and have enlisted the enthusiastic support of local government
and the building industry in our programs."
He also pointed out that California has a vacancy factor of from
1/2 percent to 1½ percent in metropolitan areas "at a time when most
experts agree that the vacancy factor should be no less than five to
six percent to handle our mobile population."

Governor Ronald Reagan today urged the National Association of
Real Estate Boards to develop and implement a uniform code of sound
environmental practices as a priority item of business during their
current two-day convention at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco.
In a message to the delegates taped prior to his departure for
London, the governor urged that the environmental practices code not
only be adopted but that it be adhered to strictly by the realtors and
everyone with whom they deal every day.
"We are responsible for the kind of world we create," the governor
said.
"Let us make certain we realize and accept fully that responsibility.
The governor also projected the future of what he described as the
"California Market," indicating that by the year 2000--just a little
over thirty years from now--California will have a population of 38
million people.
Pointing out that "38 million people is a pretty big market for
anything," the governor added: "But it's also a big responsibility."
He then asked the realtors the rhetorical questions:
"What kind of a world will it be for those 38 million people?
"What kind of houses will they live in?
"Will the air be clean enough to breath the water pure enough to
drink?
"Will there be enough land on which to raise our food, build our
houses, construct our cities?
"Will there be enough land for baseball diamonds, football fields,
trees and parks?
"Will there be sufficient land and water for an old swimming hole
or a quiet trout stream?
"The answer to those questions, ladies and gentlemen," the governor
told the realtors, "rests, to a very great degree, in your hands.
"You deal in land and in the wise uses of land."
"Let us be certain we fully understand the consequences if we come
up with the wrong definition of 'wise use' of the land.
"Once our land
and yes, our air, and our water is gone or totally
polluted, they are gone forever.
"And so, ladies and gentlemen, are we."
He urged the realtors to consider the important factor of land use
and our overall environment as they go about their work each day, point-
ing out that in so doing, they would also be considering the future
generations who, someday, will inherit the earth we presently occupy.
"Together we can be a great force for good--for furthering the
American Dream--for building the kind of world we want for ourselves and
for our children: for re-establishing and preserving a wholesome,
healthy environment in which to live and work, raise our families, enjoy
our hard earned weekends, vacations-- and later--our years of retirement,"
he said.
Governor Reagan's strong environmental appeal to the realtors pre-
ceeds by one week the Governor's Conference on California's Changing
Environment scheduled for November 17 and 18 at the Ambassador Hotel in
Los Angeles. Governor Reagan will address the conference, which is ex-
pected to develop a series of recommendations and proposals for public
and private sector implementation to battle pollution and help restore
and preserve California's environment.

Frank D. Nicol, director of the state Department of Veterans

be held November 19, 9:00am - 4:00pm, at the Sacramento Memorial
Auditorium, 15th and J Streets, Sacramento.
Veteran employment counselors will be on hand to evaluate work
capacities. They will refer veterans directly to employers in the
auditorium for on-the-spot interviews. State Department of Veterans
Affairs' representatives will provide information and counseling for
veterans interested in state and federal educational programs.
"Although publicized as a Job Fair to assist veterans of the
Vietnam War in obtaining employment," Nicol said, "every effort will be
made to help veterans of other wars to find job placements."
Commenting on the Job Fair, Governor Ronald Reagan said, "I find
this one of the most creative examples of government cooperating with
private enterprise to provide assistance to those who have given so
much and asked so little.
"I have instructed the Department of Veterans Affairs and the
Department of Human Resources and Development to lend the Veterans
Administration all possible assistance to ensure the success of these
fairs."
Nicol pointed out that the City of Sacramento has donated the
use of the auditorium and that the Sacramento Jaycees, the American
Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be cooperating with the
VA in providing refreshments and manpower.
Previous Job Fairs held in San Francisco, Stockton and San Jose
proved to be an overwhelming success and were enthusiastically endorsed
by both veteran and employer. To date, the Fairs have been the source
of immediate employment for hundreds of veterans.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced he has accepted the
resignation of General Services Director Andrew R. Lolli, effective
December 1.
"General Lolli has added new laurels to his distinguished career
through his service to the people of California," Governor Reagan said
in accepting the resignation.
"He leaves this administration with thethanks of the people of
California and my personal gratitude. He also leaves with my sincere
best wishes for success in the future," the governor said.
In a letter to the Governor, Lolli said he was submitting his
resignation with mixed emotions. "I have enjoyed the privilege of my
association," he said, "with you and many members of your administration.
"Your ability, courage and integrity," he continued, "are qualities
which I understand, admire and respect. I leave with pride for having
had the privilege of serving you."
Lolli said he was returning to private industry. He told employees
of General Services he was leaving to assume the vice presidency of
Meyerson & Company, Inc., members of the New York Stock Exchange and to
do some important work in Washington, D. C.
Along with his letter of resignation, he submitted a summary
report of General Services' accomplishments from February 1, 1967 to
date.
"Your policy," Lolli told Reagan in his report, "to cut, squeeze
and trim state expenses without cutting efficiency is paying off. The
many new business practices and controls within the Department,
affecting many state agencies, have materially reduced costs, increased
efficiency and streamlined operations without reducing the required
services."
He said the department's direct and indirect cost savings, cost
avoidance and operating efficiencies over this period have produced
identifiable savings of more than $56 million, and the savings will
increase considerably over the years.

The retired Major General sent a copy of his resignation to
Agriculture and Services Secretary Earl Coke (his department is under

In the memo to Coke, Lolli said he had not taken a vacation since
he was appointed Director of General Services and between now and December
first
/ he would fulfill several long-range commitments and take a vacation.
Lolli attributed much of his department's success to the "know-
how of dedicated state employees."
Singling out his employees, he told them: "You know where you are,
where you are going and how to get there. Your professional competence,
integrity, dedication and hard work will pay off.
"No one stands alone in getting the job done," he said, "the support
of every member is needed, and I have had yours. I know you will give my
successor the same outstanding support.
"I will be watching your continued progress with great interest
and pride in the knowledge that I was privileged to be a part of it and
one of you.' "

Governor Ronald Reagan tomorrow will officially convene a two-day
(November 17-18) statewide conference he has called to discuss
California's environmental problems with a major address before 1,000
invited guests who will be participating in the blue-ribbon conclave at
the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
The governor's address scheduled for 9 a will head a list of
major speeches at the conference by such leaders as Interior Secretary
Walter Hickel, John Ehrlichman, President Nixon's special assistant for
domestic affairs, and Col. William Anders, space advisor to Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew.
The conference called the Governor's Conference on California's
Changing Environment will bring together the largest cross-section of
experts and concerned citizens ever assembled at one time in California
to seek creative and workable solutions to the state's pollution problems.
Participants will comprise virtually every segment of our society,
including representatives of business and labor; environmentalists;
conservationists; members of the communications media; experts on air,
water and land pollution; consumers; young people; and experts on the
problems of over-population.
Conferees will take part in four separate panels which will run
concurrently during morning and afternoon sessions. Each panel will
discuss a different subject; People and Air, People and Water, People and
Urban Society, or People and Land, Panelists will be selected on the
basis of their expertise and interest in one of these particular areas.
Near the end of the conference, each panel moderator will present
those findings for workable solutions which emerged in the discussions
of his panel to a plenary session of all conference participants,
presided over by Lt. Governor Ed Reinecke.
Some 150 persons will participate directly in each of the panels,
including "reactor, or motivator" panelists who will represent the
general, broad public interest; "technical" panelists who will represent
the professional area of subject expertise; and "conferee" paneliscs who
will represent all facets of the subject. "Reactor" and "technical"
panelists will be responsible for identifying and defining the problem,
presenting the facts, and suggesting solutions and alternative. Each
conferee will have the opportunity to express his special views and to
comment on the views of others.

Governor Ronald Reagan today urged President Richard Nixon to
allocate sufficient money from the Land and Water Conservation fund to
acquire the remaining privately-owned lands for completion of the Point
Reyes National Seashore.
The governor noted that last year he supported amendments to the
Land and Water Conservation Fund which authorized $200 million for accrual
each year for five years to the Fund from federal offshore oil leases.
"I felt that the use of these offshore revenues to assist local
government in completing needed park projects and the states and federal
government in completing projects in the respective states and national
interests was the most desirable use of our revenues from this national
natural non-renewable resource."
Therefore, he wrote the President, "I urge you to authorize the
inclusion in your budget of the full $200 million to the Land and Water
Conservation Fund and urge further that you support allocation from the
federal portion of that fund an amount sufficient to complete acquisition
of the necessary parcels of lards at Point Reyes."
The governor also wrote Congressman Wayne N. Aspinall (D-Colorado),
chairman of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, pointing
out that "the latitude would be available for your committee to provide
the funds necessary to consummate the Point Reyes" park project if the
maximum resources ($200 million) provided by law were allocated to the
Land and Water Conservation Fund. He noted that it was his understanding
that Aspinall's committee would meet to "seek ways and means to resolve
this extremely important conservation issue."
In his letter to the President, the governor warned that landowners
within the boundaries of the seashore are under "extreme pressure" to
sell their property to subdividers.
"This would be a serious encroachment on the potential integrity
of this magnificent National Seashore project." he said.
Governor Reagan said he has worked with Congressman Don Clausen,

Governor Ronald Reagan, taking inventory of two and one-half
years of the "Creative Society," tonight pointed to a long list of
accomplishments that range from protection of the environment to tough
anti-crime bills.
In a speech prepared for delivery at a Riverside County Republican
Fund-Raising dinner, the Governor also reported on economies that have
brought more than $1 billion in tax relief to Californians. And he
pointed out that California's program for mental hygiene has attracted
world-wide attention.
Listing the accomplishments of his administration in protection
of the environment, Governor Reagan pointed out that California has:
--Created the nation's first state-wide Air Pollution Control
Board and given it the power to enforce the strictest regulations in
the country.
--Become the first state to set out to control noise pollution by
jet aircraft.
--Passed the toughest water pollution control act in the nation.
The governor also reminded the audience that his administration has
formed a joint transportation-resources committee to protect aesthetic and
ecological values in the planning of all public works.
"Today, routes for highways and freeways are not chosen on the
basis of the shortest distance between two points," he said. "The joint
committee of the Parks and Recreation people and the Highway Commission
sits down and plans so as to preserve and not destroy any ecological
features or beautiful areas." "
The governor said his administration has passed some of the most
significant crime legislation in more than a decade.
"Many of the measures passed are the same ones that we have been
trying to pass every year, only to have them buried in committee or
defeated on the floor.
"Once Republicans got a majority in the Assembly, we changed
speakers and started passing these laws," he said.
Among the anti-crime bills, he said, are the first anti-pornography
bills in eight years and laws that crack down on dope peddlers and pushers,
increase the penalties for possession and sale of dangerous drugs, and
permit school authorities to expel students caught selling drugs.

"After we managed to gain a one vote Republican majority in
both houses, we were able to pass some laws to curb campus violence,"
he said, including measures that withhold financial aid to students
convicted of illegal campus disturbances and allow a first degree murder
complaint to be filed against anyone who plants a bomb that results in
a death.
"The opposition whose veracity decreases as its volume increases--
cites crime statistics and charges that in the 1966 campaign, we boasted
that we would wipe out crime. Well, just for the record, we said we
would do something about crime--instead of wringing our hands and
blaming society for every crime that was committed.
"In less than three years we have passed more effective anti-
crime legislation than they did in all the eight years that they were
there," he said.
Turning to economies of the administration, the governor noted
that more than $382 million in new highway projects are being constructed
ahead of schedule with money that has been saved through economies in
the Public Works Department.
"A few weeks ago, the Comptroller General of the United States
told Congress that California was buying many of the same supplies the
federal government was buying and we were doing it for from 36 to 42
percent less.
"We have moved from the ninth lowest among the states in the cost
of government proportionate to the population, to the fifth lowest and
we intend to be the lowest," the governor said. "We do not subscribe to
the philosophy of those who would rate government's quality on the
basis of how much it spends instead of how much it achieves."
The governor said that as a result of efforts by his administration
and Republican legislators in Sacramento, the California taxpayer has
received:
--A $70 cash refund on his property taxes.
--A permanent $750 per dwelling property tax exemption.
Double standard state income tax deductions to provide tax
relief for renters.
--A special program of property tax for low income older citizens,
and reduced rates in the lowest state income tax bracket.
-2-
#633
-Abolition of the personal property tax on household effects.
--A 30 percent reduction in the business inventory tax.
--A 10 percent one-time rebate on individual income taxes next
April.
"All of this adde up to $633 million in direct tax relief, plus
another $651 million in indirect tax relief, including increased school
aid which otherwise would have had to be raised at the local level, If he
said.
In the field of rehabilitation of the physically handicapped,
California has moved from 11th to second among the states, he pointed
out. "In that one year, we trained, rehabilitated and put into self-
supporting jobs 14,450 of the physically handicapped."
In mental hygiene, California is spending more per patient than
any other major state and has been recognized as number one in achievement
for its programs, the governor said.
"We are not only a model for other states but
nations such as Japan, Switzerland, England and others have sent
delegations to California to dtudy our system of mental hygiene, to learn
the reasons behind our progress," he reported.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has accepted the
resignation of John C. Montgomery, state director of social welfare,
effective November 30.
Montgomery, 36, has accepted a federal position as Special Assistant
for Intergovernmental Relations to Secretary Robert Finch of Health,
Education and Welfare.
"John leaves our administration with our thanks for his long and
devoted service to the people of California and our best wishes for the
challenging and exciting new job he will assume in Washington," the
Governor said.
Montgomery, who was named state director of welfare in January of
1967, is a former chairman of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors.
In 1966, as a result of his work on local and state welfare
problems with the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, he was appointed
chairman of the committee on welfare of the First National County Welfare
Congress held in the nation's capital in December of 1966.
Montgomery is also a member of the State Coordinating Council on
Alcohol problems and the California Job Training and placement Council.
Spencer Williams, secretary of the Human Relations Agency, joined
Governor Reagan in congratulating Montgomery and commended him for his
work in California.
"John has been a leading advocate of states' rights in welfare
and can be expected to be a force for continued improvement in the
administration of welfare," Williams said.
In his letter of resignation, Montgomery said, "As a member of this
state administration I have on numerous occasions observed your continuing
commitment to remain responsive to documented needs of our state population
while at the same time recognizing and remaining firm on the long
overlooked requirement of fiscal integrity in government.
"It is with mixed feelings that I leave Sacramento and the leadership
and encouragement that you and Human Relations Secretary Spencer Williams
have provided me in this difficult and challenging assignment."

"WHEREAS, On November 22, 1963, the people of the United States
were stunned by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy: and
"WHEREAS, Throughout the history of the United States each of our
tragic presidential assassinations has starkly highlighted the awesome
responsibilities of those who accept the leadership of this great
nation: and
"WHEREAS, Those who have held this office in the past, and the present
incumbent, Richard M. Nixon, have been faced with problems and recurring

"WHEREAS, The role of world leadership among the free nations,

prerogatives and obligations of the presidential office with reliance
solely on his own intelligence and intuition: and
"WHEREAS, In recognition of the almost superhuman requirements of
the office of President, a day should be set aside each year where
Americans of all faiths may join in offering individual prayers for
spiritual guidance on behalf of their chosen leader,
"NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, do hereby
proclaim Sunday, November 23, 1969, as PRESIDENTIAL PRAYER DAY, and

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following
statement upon learning of the United States Senate
rejection of the nomination of Judge Clement F. Haynsworth
Jr. to the Supreme Court:
"It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court and the
nation will be deprived of the wise counsel of this
distinguished jurist.
"President Nixon knew that Judge Haynsworth's
qualifications, abilities and integrity were unimpeach-
able and I think the majority of the American people
knew it too.
"It is obvious that a proper balance must be
restored to the Supreme Court, and I know that the
President will nominate a successor who shares Judge
Haynsworth's constitutional approach to the court.
"I think that it is regrettable that some Senators
who rejected this distinguished man were not able to rise
above narrow political considerations."
