The award of the B-1 contract to a California firm was
hailed today by Governor Ronald Reagan as a "strong example of what
men like Senator George Murphy can mean to our state.
"Senator Murphy worked vigorously to point out to the
Administration that California's aerospace industry is the most
talented in the United States and would be the logical choice for
developing and manufacturing this new aircraft.
"He held long discussions with top officials in Washington
to secure this award. As a member of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, Senator Murphy's value to California is again demonstrated
by the award of this contract to our state.
"I am, of course, extremely pleased that California has been
selected.
"The 43,000 new jobs this important contract will bring our
people will provide a strong shot in the arm to California's economy.
"Working with Senator Murphy, members of the national
Republican administration, and the Department of Defense, we have
long stressed that California's aerospace industry merited strong
consideration in those deliberations which led to the award of the
B-1 contract.
"California has led the way in aerospace and military
technology for many years. Today's decision bears out the deserving
recognition our aerospace industry has received by our nation's
leaders in Washington.
"But even more important, the decision demonstrates the
value of the close working relationship between our state administration,
Senator Murphy and the national administration."

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"To open the press conference, I would like to comment briefly on
the state's current financial situation and those measures we have
proposed to the legislature for meeting the budget requirements of the
coming fiscal year.
"As you know, yesterday Finance Director Verne Orr went before the
fiscal committees of the Senate and Assembly to outline the
administration's recommendations for overcoming a projected $141 million
imbalance in revenues and expenditures for fiscal 1970-71.
"He pointed out that the cause of the problem is two-fold: a
shocking $70 million increase in welfare and Medi-Cal costs; and an
estimated $71 million decline in revenues to the state caused by a
cooling of the economy.
"To bring the budget into balance, several alternatives were open.
"First, we could have simply proposed a $141 million tax increase
to make up for the deficit. This is traditionally government's way
of meeting financial crises of such magnitude.
"Or, we could have proposed a combination of increased taxes and
budget cuts.
"Neither of these alternatives was acceptable. We chose instead to
reduce the budget. We will not increase the California taxpayers'
burden to solve this problem. Balancing the state budget must be done
by bringing the cost of government within the amount of money available.
"Now let me point out once again the part played by runaway welfare
costs in this problem.
"Without sacrificing the quality of service, we have shaved to the
bone the cost of running those departments and agencies of state govern-
ment over which we exercise direct control. Indeed our continuing
economies and departmental savings reduced the projected deficit by many
millions of dollars. It is the third year in a row where savings in the
cost of government which could have reduced the taxpayers' burden have
instead been swallowed up by excessive increases in the cost of welfare
and Medi-Cal.
"I have already submitted welfare reform legislation which could
save roughly $100 million.
"The people deeply resent the reports of welfare abuse they read in
the press---abuses which make it possible for hundreds of full-time
public employees with salaries as high as $14,000 a year to legally
receive welfare payments.
"They question how it is that the average Medi-Cal patient can
receive more than twice as much money per year for medical care as the
average person who is not on public assistance.
"I have asked Bob Martin to exercise his authority as director of
the Department of Social Welfare to make whatever changes in state regu-
lations are legally possible and appropriate to tighten the state's
administration of welfare.
"We also are redoubling our efforts to seek changes in federal wel-
fare laws and regulations which are overly restrictive and unnecessarily
costly. Where it is not possible to change such regulations through
the federal government. we are prepared to do to-court."

Governor Ronald Reagan today appealed to business and industry
to support the 1970 Summer Jobs for Youth Program.
The campaign, headed by Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke, is
a combined effort by the private sector and federal and state agencies
to find summer employment for 400,000 young people.
"While a very small minority grab the headlines for disruptive
acts on the campus, the vast majority of our young are dedicated to
obtaining an education and are willing to work hard to finance it.
"I urge all Californians to support them and their goals by
reviewing their business needs in the hope of discovering jobs which
can be filled during the summer months," the governor said.
He pointed out that federal and state agencies have already
made thousands of summer jobs available to young people. But he
stressed the campaign must have the support of all segments of
society.
"This is a golden opportunity for business and industry to
demonstrate that they have faith in the young citizens who are
showing their faith in them," Governor Reagan said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced California has been
selected for a unique federal-state research project to determine the
relationship between air pollution and highway design and location.
The study, the most comprehensive of its type in the nation, will
be conducted by the California State Department of Public Works,
assisted by the State Air Resources Board. Financial and technical
support will come from the Federal Highway Administration and the
National Air Pollution Control Administration.
"For the first time we will be able to gather information on
the location and design of freeways that can be matched with facts on
smog emissions," the governor said. "I am pleased that California, which
is the recognized leader in the fight against air pollution, has this
opportunity to establish another pattern for the nation to follow in
its fight for clean air."
The research project was first proposed by Director of Public
Works James A. Moe to federal highway officials in January and
received the endorsement of the California Environmental Quality
Study Council.
The study will cost approximately $700,000 with $400,000 of the
amount to be made available over a three-year-period by the Federal
Highway Administration. Additional support in manpower, instrumentation
and funds will be provided by the National Air Pollution Control
Association, the governor said.
The smog research project will be coordinated with the state's
Los Angeles Freeway Surveillance and Control Project along a 42-mile
loop of freeway in the central Los Angeles area.
The surveillance project was initiated by the state 18 months
ago to study the traffic flow in an effort to get maximum use of
roads under a variety of freeway conditions. Portions of the San Diego,
Santa Monica and Harbor Freeways, which are typical of freeway conditions
throughout the state, are included in the study.

Governor Ronald Reagan today commended the Nixon administration
for proposing federal legislation to create a National Energy Reserve
off the Santa Barbara coast and pledged the state's full cooperation
in helping to make the plan a reality.
The president's proposal would create a 16 mile wide marine
sanctuary seaward from the present state sanctuaries off the Santa
Barbara coast, and cancel 20 existing oil leases in the planned reserve.
Governor Reagan said that such state sanctuaries have existed since
1955 and noted that he had urged the Nixon administration to establish
a similar sanctuary.
"The Nixon plan, which dovetails closely with legislation now
before Congress by Senator George Murphy, promises to complement the
state's efforts to protect and preserve the environment in the Santa
Barbara coastal area," the governor said.
Governor Reagan noted that last year the State of California halted
the issuance of exploratory oil drilling permits on state tidelands.
In addition, he pointed out that his administration sponsored
important legislation, now in effect, which:
-Requires the testing and certification of oil dispersing agents
for use against oil pollution.
-Requires that companies responsible for oil spills pay the full
cost of cleanup (Porter-Cologne Act).

Governor Ronald Reagan today joined Vice President Agnew in
saying that if remarks attributed to a Harvard University student
just appointed to the President's Commission on Campus Unrest are
correct, the youth should resign.
Governor Reagan was referring to Joseph Rhodes Jr., 22, a
junior fellow at Harvard who was named to the Commission last
Saturday.
At the same time, the governor said it was regrettable that
at least some of the press failed to report one of the reasons the
Vice President gave in suggesting the resignation.
In the third paragraph of his statement, the vice president
said Rhodes has been quoted as saying, "Governor Ronald Reagan was
bent on killing people for his own political gain." The quote
appeared in the June 15 edition of the New York Times.
"If that quote is correct," Governor Reagan said, "then there
should be no question that Rhodes should resign. Such distorted and
completely absurd statements clearly show that he lacks both the
judgment and the objectivity to sit on a presidential commission.
"However, I am also distressed that at least some of the press
failed to report that quotation as repeated by the Vice President
because it is imperative that the American people know the facts and
the caliber of the people who are to study one of the most serious
issues facing our country."

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed into law a bill he proposed
last January which immediately channels $16.5 million in state funds
for classroom construction in a dozen school districts throughout the
state.
At a special ceremony in his office, the governor said:
"The additional classrooms this money will help to build will go a
long way toward relieving the need for double and triple sessions in
school districts most critically affected- those experiencing the most
rapid growth in the state."
(AB-74, Crandall)
The bill/puts the $16.5 million in the form of a loan to the State
Local Allocations Board which will be repaid out of the proceeds of
yesterday's favorable school bond sale conducted by State Treasurer
Ivy Baker Priest.
The bond funds are expected to be available to the state in July.
As a result, the $16.5 million repayment will be used to build
additional classrooms on a number of community college campuses. These
projects will be selected by the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges.
"The double effectiveness of this plan insures absolute maximum
utilization of state funds currently on hand for school construction
purposes," the governor said.
"Certainly, the additional facilities required to meet the
mushrooming enrollment needs of the community colleges are of equal
importance to the continued progress of our overall system of public
higher education in California."
Governor Reagan listed the following school districts as those
designated by the Local Allocations Board for the $16.5 million in
construction aid:
Napa Valley Unified, Napa County
$7,761,483.22

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"Good afternoon. I'd like to start off with some comments about
financing our public schools grades k through 12.
"No one can show with any degree of certainty the actual financial
needs of the schools or whether their needs are due to insufficient money
or mismanagement of the money now being received. Nevertheless, more
money must be provided in the coming year.
"But there is one thing I want to make absolutely clear here and
now
more money is needed this year to solve their immediate needs.
Today I suggested to the chairman of the Budget Conference Committee
a cost of living increase for California's public schools which can be
financed in next year's budget. I have proposed the legislature follow
the 5 percent cost of living increase which has been applied to other
state departments. This, however, is offered only as a guideline for
their deliberation.
"I have also suggested methods of financing this increase through
budget cuts, a re-ordering of priorities within the budget and pending
legislation which would make money available for the schools. Some of
this would be one time money but this is a one time funding to meet the
present crisis without an increase in the present tax burden.
"We intend to cooperate with the legislature in a reorganization of
the basic structure of educational finance and school administration
to provide modern and efficient management techniques.
"This would include a management performance auditing function
responsible, among other things, for establishing management standards
for school districts and for rating the efficiency as well as the efforts
of individual school districts.
"Additionally, a master plan for k-through-12 similar to the
master plan for higher education should be prepared to determine the
goals the public schools should meet during the 70s.
"Modification of the certification requirements for administrators,
thereby utilizing management rather than educational skills in operating
a school district, also is necessary, And revision of the reading
achievement tests so that meaningful ratings of students in each district
can be made known to parents, students and taxpayers should be
accomplished.
- 1 -
#328
"While these tools will be of great assistance, by themselves they
will not solve the problem of school finance.
"I am therefore also proposing that the executive and legislative
branches of government work together to find long-range solutions.
Simplified state funding formulas, block grants, coordination of budget
cycles, reforms in the education code and experimentation and innovation
are among the items that must be presented to the legislature next year
for a really meaningful overhaul of public school education.
"Finally, I hope and trust that all of us, in government and out,
will join in a common effort to meet these challenges and to assure the
taxpayers of California that they are getting the greatest benefit for
their tax dollars."

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement
after meeting with relatives of American prisoners of war in Southeast
Asia:
"Once again I want to appeal to all those in public office
to join in urging the repatriation of American prisoners of war in
Southeast Asia.
"The continued imprisonment of 1,600 brave men--more than 400
of them Californians--in violation of international law is the concern of
all Americans and it should be the concern of people everywhere who
believe in freedom.
"Their release is a matter that transcends politics and
differing points of view on our involvement in Southeast Asia.
"We must make it clear to Hanoi that we are speaking with one
voice when we ask for the release of these prisoners.
"I am writing to our two United States Senators and our
California Congressional Delegation to ask that they support this
cause."

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement to the
press:
"Two months ago I urged passage by the Congress of farm labor
legislation authored by Senator George Murphy of California. I have
repeatedly stressed the need for provisions such as those contained in
the Murphy bill to guarantee farm workers the right to organize and to
select by secret ballot the union, if any, of their choice.
"Unfortunately the Congress has not as yet enacted the legislation
to make this possible. In the interim, to provide a means by which farm
workers may express their desire for union membership, I am making
available the Conciliation Service of the State Department of Industrial
Relations to supervise any election requested by the workers, or their
representative, and the employer. This will provide the means for
settling voluntarily the present fresh grape controversy--- by
providing for free elections, using secret ballots, which will enable
farm workers to choose which, if any, union they wish to join.
"I am, therefore, calling on all those involved in this controversy--
the farmer, the worker, the union representative, the clergy, and the
store which sells fresh produce---to find a solution which does not
destroy an entire industry and the jobs it normally provides.
"Since there are now no established rules of procedure for conducting
elections involving agricultural workers, I have submitted a set of
procedures which the Conciliation Service will use in supervising such
elections.
"I have asked Earl Coke, secretary of the Agriculture and Services
Agency, to answer any questions you may have on this subject."

Pearson as State\nSuperintendent of Banks will be today at 10:00 a.m. in the Governor's\nOffice.\nPress coverage is invited.\n###\nWAS\nSacramento, California\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n6-9-70\n#300\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:\n\"To open the press conference, I would like to comment briefly on\nthe state's current financial situation and those measures we have\nproposed to the legislature for meeting the budget requirements of the\ncoming fiscal year.\n\"As you know, yesterday Finance Director Verne Orr went before the\nfiscal committees of the Senate and Assembly to outline the\nadministration's recommendations for overcoming a projected $141 million\nimbalance in revenues and expenditures for fiscal 1970-71.\n\"He pointed out that the cause of the problem is two-fold: a\nshocking $70 million increase in welfare and Medi-Cal costs; and an\nestimated $71 million decline in revenues to the state caused by a\ncooling of the economy.\n\"To bring the budget into balance, several alternatives were open.\n\"First, we could have simply proposed a $141 million tax increase\nto make up for the deficit. This is traditionally government's way\nof meeting financial crises of such magnitude.\n\"Or, we could have proposed a combination of increased taxes and\nbudget cuts.\n\"Neither of these alternatives was acceptable. We chose instead to\nreduce the budget. We will not increase the California taxpayers'\nburden to solve this problem. Balancing the state budget must be done\nby bringing the cost of government within the amount of money available.\n\"Now let me point out once again the part played by runaway welfare\ncosts in this problem.\n\"Without sacrificing the quality of service, we have shaved to the\nbone the cost of running those departments and agencies of state govern-\nment over which we exercise direct control. Indeed our continuing\neconomies and departmental savings reduced the projected deficit by many\nmillions of dollars. It is the third year in a row where savings in the\ncost of government which could have reduced the taxpayers' burden have\ninstead been swallowed up by excessive increases in the cost of welfare\nand Medi-Cal.\n\"I have already submitted welfare reform legislation which could\nsave roughly $100 million.\n\"The people deeply resent the reports of welfare abuse they read in\nthe press---abuses which make it possible for hundreds of full-time\npublic employees with salaries as high as $14,000 a year to legally\nreceive welfare payments.\n\"They question how it is that the average Medi-Cal patient can\nreceive more than twice as much money per year for medical care as the\naverage person who is not on public assistance.\n\"I have asked Bob Martin to exercise his authority as director of\nthe Department of Social Welfare to make whatever changes in state regu-\nlations are legally possible and appropriate to tighten the state's\nadministration of welfare.\n\"We also are redoubling our efforts to seek changes in federal wel-\nfare laws and regulations which are overly restrictive and unnecessarily\ncostly. Where it is not possible to change such regulations through\nthe federal government. we are prepared to do to-court.\"\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, Califo\nia\nContact:\nPaul Jeck\n445-4571\n6-10-70\n#301\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today appealed to business and industry\nto support the 1970 Summer Jobs for Youth Program.\nThe campaign, headed by Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke, is\na combined effort by the private sector and federal and state agencies\nto find summer employment for 400,000 young people.\n\"While a very small minority grab the headlines for disruptive\nacts on the campus, the vast majority of our young are dedicated to\nobtaining an education and are willing to work hard to finance it.\n\"I urge all Californians to support them and their goals by\nreviewing their business needs in the hope of discovering jobs which\ncan be filled during the summer months,\" the governor said.\nHe pointed out that federal and state agencies have already\nmade thousands of summer jobs available to young people. But he\nstressed the campaign must have the support of all segments of\nsociety.\n\"This is a golden opportunity for business and industry to\ndemonstrate that they have faith in the young citizens who are\nshowing their faith in them,\" Governor Reagan said.\n####\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVER\nR\nRELEASE:\nediate\nSacramento, California\nContact;\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n6-11-70\n#302\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced California has been\nselected for a unique federal-state research project to determine the\nrelationship between air pollution and highway design and location.\nThe study, the most comprehensive of its type in the nation, will\nbe conducted by the California State Department of Public Works,\nassisted by the State Air Resources Board.

I'd like to start off with some comments about\nfinancing our public schools grades k through 12.\n\"No one can show with any degree of certainty the actual financial\nneeds of the schools or whether their needs are due to insufficient money\nor mismanagement of the money now being received. Nevertheless, more\nmoney must be provided in the coming year.\n\"But there is one thing I want to make absolutely clear here and\nnow\nmore money is needed this year to solve their immediate needs.\nToday I suggested to the chairman of the Budget Conference Committee\na cost of living increase for California's public schools which can be\nfinanced in next year's budget. I have proposed the legislature follow\nthe 5 percent cost of living increase which has been applied to other\nstate departments. This, however, is offered only as a guideline for\ntheir deliberation.\n\"I have also suggested methods of financing this increase through\nbudget cuts, a re-ordering of priorities within the budget and pending\nlegislation which would make money available for the schools. Some of\nthis would be one time money but this is a one time funding to meet the\npresent crisis without an increase in the present tax burden.\n\"We intend to cooperate with the legislature in a reorganization of\nthe basic structure of educational finance and school administration\nto provide modern and efficient management techniques.\n\"This would include a management performance auditing function\nresponsible, among other things, for establishing management standards\nfor school districts and for rating the efficiency as well as the efforts\nof individual school districts.\n\"Additionally, a master plan for k-through-12 similar to the\nmaster plan for higher education should be prepared to determine the\ngoals the public schools should meet during the 70s.\n\"Modification of the certification requirements for administrators,\nthereby utilizing management rather than educational skills in operating\na school district, also is necessary, And revision of the reading\nachievement tests so that meaningful ratings of students in each district\ncan be made known to parents, students and taxpayers should be\naccomplished.\n- 1 -\n#328\n\"While these tools will be of great assistance, by themselves they\nwill not solve the problem of school finance.\n\"I am therefore also proposing that the executive and legislative\nbranches of government work together to find long-range solutions.\nSimplified state funding formulas, block grants, coordination of budget\ncycles, reforms in the education code and experimentation and innovation\nare among the items that must be presented to the legislature next year\nfor a really meaningful overhaul of public school education.\n\"Finally, I hope and trust that all of us, in government and out,\nwill join in a common effort to meet these challenges and to assure the\ntaxpayers of California that they are getting the greatest benefit for\ntheir tax dollars.\"\n#######\nPB\n-2-\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n6-23-70\n#329\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement\nafter meeting with relatives of American prisoners of war in Southeast\nAsia:\n\"Once again I want to appeal to all those in public office\nto join in urging the repatriation of American prisoners of war in\nSoutheast Asia.\n\"The continued imprisonment of 1,600 brave men--more than 400\nof them Californians--in violation of international law is the concern of\nall Americans and it should be the concern of people everywhere who\nbelieve in freedom.\n\"Their release is a matter that transcends politics and\ndiffering points of view on our involvement in Southeast Asia.\n\"We must make it clear to Hanoi that we are speaking with one\nvoice when we ask for the release of these prisoners.\n\"I am writing to our two United States Senators and our\nCalifornia Congressional Delegation to ask that they support this\ncause.\"\n###\nWAS\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE: J ediate\nSacramento, Californ,\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n6-24-70\n#330\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of\nSanta Maria Municipal Judge Morris J.

This will provide the means for\nsettling voluntarily the present fresh grape controversy--- by\nproviding for free elections, using secret ballots, which will enable\nfarm workers to choose which, if any, union they wish to join.\n\"I am, therefore, calling on all those involved in this controversy--\nthe farmer, the worker, the union representative, the clergy, and the\nstore which sells fresh produce---to find a solution which does not\ndestroy an entire industry and the jobs it normally provides.\n\"Since there are now no established rules of procedure for conducting\nelections involving agricultural workers, I have submitted a set of\nprocedures which the Conciliation Service will use in supervising such\nelections.\n\"I have asked Earl Coke, secretary of the Agriculture and Services\nAgency, to answer any questions you may have on this subject.\"\n# # #\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\n445-4571\n6-29-70\nGovernor Reagan's press conference, scheduled for\n10:00 a.m. Tuesday, June 30, has been postponed until Wednesday, July 1,\nat 11:00 a.m.\n####\nPB\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n6-30-70\n#338\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the reappointment of\nJames J.
