There are indications from around the state that many welfare
checks due today have not been received. Also, welfare offices are
reporting a great many calls for an explanation of why checks received
are for amounts less than authorized by the new law.
Accordingly, Governor Reagan today issued the following statement:
"Due to hasty and uninformed court decisions in the last few days
(including a feeble eleventh hour attempt by the State Supreme Court
to correct its own error), the courts have succeeded in delaying
welfare payments to thousands of needy recipients, preventing payment
of deserved increases to thousands of others, and thoroughly confusing
those responsible for administering the system at the state and county
level as well as the public in general.
"The resulting damage to the system, and resulting hardship and
deprivation of the truly needy, will require a great deal of additional
time, money and effort to correct.
"I am confident that the official team, headed by Welfare Director
Bob Carleson and the state and county welfare officials who had the
tremendous task of implementing the Welfare Reform Act in only 45 days,
can still bring about order and will, out of compassion for those who
need the help, work around the clock to repair the damage.
"Further bungling interference by the courts regardless of
intentions, or honest errors, regardless of how soon they are corrected,
will simply prolong the discomfort of those they purport to be
protecting and will add unnecessary costs to the program."
Secretary of Human Relations James M. Hall and Social Welfare
Director Robert E. Carleson will be available to the press to answer
inquiries on the above in the Press Lounge, Room 1178 at 4:30 P.M.
today.

system.
SB 1474 - Kennick
Authorizes the lease of granted tidelands or

bills:
AB 276 - Stacey
Includes licensed vocational nurses within the
definition of "professional employees" for purpose
of right to representation by a professional
employees organization under the public employer-
employee relations law.
REASON FOR VETO:
"When I vetoed a similar bill last year I expressed
a concern that the creation of additional
representation units could have an adverse effect
on employee relations programs. I still have that
concern. Approval of this bill would encourage other
occupational groups to seek similar treatment and
thus further fragment the number of representation
units that government must bargain with.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the
governor said.
SB 1596 - Rodda
Extends the existing permissive school override tax
for child nutrition programs to include preschool
children's programs.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I strongly support local decision making and local
control of public education in California. The
constant pressure for additional permissive school
tax overrides or the extention of such overrides
erodes local control by taking from the voters
the right to participate in the determination of
spending priorities. I am taking this action
reluctantly; however, I feel there must be an end
to the practice of bypassing the voter in matters
affecting the financing of programs at the district
level.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the
governor said.

"Dear Mr. President--
"Despite all the efforts of the shipping industry, labor,
federal officials, and my own unofficial discussions with all of these
segments, the West Coast dock strike appears to be no closer to
settlement than it ever was.
"Further delay is costing all segments of California business
and labor, directly or indirectly, nearly $10 million per day on
top of the billion and a half dollars already lost.
"Therefore, I urgently request that you invoke the Taft-Hartley
Act forthwith. I am asking my fellow governors to join me in this
request.
"If I can be of any service in this matter, officially or
unofficially, please let me know immediately. Meanwhile, we will

representative.

Governor Ronald Reagan said today he was "astounded" that Democrats
chose to put petty politics above the necessity to help preserve and
improve California's environment when they defeated a reorganization plan
aimed at consolidating the state's war against pollution.
"I am astounded that the Democrats would put petty politics above
the recognized need to improve our fight to preserve and enhance
California's environment," he said.
"In killing the reorganization, its opponents failed to note this
was a positive approach to environmental protection. They also did not
offer any substantive reasons why it should not have been approved. They
apparently were not concerned with good government."
The governor referred to action by Assembly Democrats which killed
the administration's Reorganization Plan No. 3. The plan would have
created a new Department of Environmental Protection within the Resources
Agency. The agency itself would have been renamed the Environment and
Resources Agency.
"This plan would have enabled us to mobilize all state agencies to
attack our pollution problems on a united front.
"It would have consolidated within state government the top
spokesmen and experts on our environment and would have given
comprehensive coordination to the many agencies of state government now
attacking the problem separately.
"Our plan would have kept California ahead of federal environmental
activities and would have provided positive action on future areas of
concern such as solid waste management," the governor said.
"It is very regrettable that some Democratic legislators, who
continually pose as protectors of the environment until it comes time for
them to take action instead of spouting rhetoric, put politics above the
good of the public.
"This administration is committed to protecting California's
environment and making it a state we can proudly pass on to our children
who rightfully expect us to give them a legacy of a clean land, clean air
and clean water.
"We will continue to keep that commitment.
"Meanwhile, I sincerely hope that the Assembly Democrats will
reconsider their ill-conceived action and put principle above petty
politics," the governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has vetoed AB 950
(Fong).
In announcing the veto, the governor said:
"This measure would remove from parents their right to consent to
their children's participation in venereal disease instructions.
"I am aware that venereal disease has reached epidemic proportions
in many parts of this state. I agree with educators and public health
officials that there is a pressing need for effective venereal disease
education programs in our schools. Such education should continue and
new programs should be developed. The issue of parental consent is no
real barrier to the presentation of such instructional programs.
"Existing law already permits venereal disease instruction in the
public schools with prior parental approval. Parents should be able
to retain this prerogative with respect to venereal disease education
courses."

(Chapter 869)
judgment is pronounced, any report of the probation
officer may be inspected by court personnel, shall

required by law to inspect or receive copies of the
report, and shall not be open to public inspection.
Any other person may inspect or receive copies of the
report by filing a petition with the court and the
court, on its own motion, may make the report public,
or disclose its contents at any time.
Governor Reagan has vetoed the following bill:
SB 855 - Song
Prohibits prosecution of felonies if not tried
within 60 days after arraignment unless the
prosecution can prove "good cause" for such delay.
REASON FOR VETO:
"It is highly doubtful whether this measure,
presented as a court reform bill, will accomplish any
reduction in court delay. There will probably be
a good deal of litigation to determine what
amounts to "good cause" when the prosecution seeks
to refile a charge which was dismissed because the
case did not proceed to trial within the 60 day
period. More important, the bill misplaces the
cause for trial court delay upon the prosecution.
Almost all of the continuances granted in criminal
cases are granted by the court at the request of
the defendant or on the court's own motion because
of insufficient courts in which to proceed.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," = the
governor said.

that import our products and I am very hopeful this trip will serve to
strengthen that trade and produce even stronger bonds between California
and the Pacific nations."

Requires the state to annually adjust the amount paid
to counties for the operation of Probation Subsidy

"The Probation Subsidy Program is to be evaluated by
a Department of Finance management audit in the
next several months. Consideration of any adjust-
ment in the level of state support for this worthwhil
program should be deferred until the results of
this study can be evaluated and the availability
of additional funding is assured. At the present
time no funds are available to pay the additional

REASON FOR VETO:
"Senate Bill 284 nullifies, as to the Contractors'
State License Board, the provision of Governor's
Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970 which authorizes
the Director of Consumer Affairs, when he determines
it to be in the interests of efficiency, economy, and
effective service to the public, and after consul-
tation with and consideration of views of the agency
concerned, to transfer the investigative or inspec-
tional personnel of any agency in the department to
the department's Division of Investigation, subject
to the statutory qualification that an agency may
retain 10 percent of its investigative or inspectiona
personnel, and in no event less than one person.

"This provision received thorough consideration by
the legislature during its review of Reorganization
Plan No. 2 of 1970. I believe the decision the
legislature made at that time was in the public
interest, and I am aware of no considerations which
warrant the change proposed by SB 284.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," "
the governor said.
SB 1516 - Moscone
Eliminates the requirement that the court first
receive the consent of the district attorney before
granting probation to persons convicted of specified
serious crimes,
REASON FOR VETO:
"I am vetoing this bill at the request of the
California Peace Officers' and District Attorney's
associations. SB 1516 seeks to codify the holding
of the California Supreme Court in People V. Esteybar
I believe that the district attorney should retain
the power to consent to the grant of probation to
defendents convicted of serious crimes. This is a
power which has traditionally and wisely been
accorded the prosecution.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the
governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced that he has issued an Executive
Order designed to redefine the existing Code of Fair Practices for
the State of California.
In signing the order, he said, "It is incumbent upon public servants
to guarantee and guard the right of every person in our state to pursue
the fulfillment of his or her capabilities without fear of discrimination
or prejudice."
The governor stated that time and experience have proven that laws
and edicts alone are not enough. Justice demands that every citizen
consciously adopt and accentuate a personal commitment to affirmative
action which will make equal opportunity a thriving and visible reality.
Reagan has pledged his commitment both as a citizen and as chief
executive of the State of California to this end.

PB
State of California
Memorandum
To
:
AGENCY SECRETARIES, DEPARTMENT
Date : September 23, 1971
DIRECTORS, AND EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS
Subject: California Code of
Fair Practices
From : Governor's Office
As both a citizen and Chief Executive of the State of California,
I believe it imperative that public servants, who serve all the
citizens of our state, continue to step-up their efforts to
insure equal treatment to all persons and to correct any past
inequities. It is incumbent upon us to guarantee and guard the
right of every person in our state to pursue the fulfillment of
his or her capabilities without discrimination or prejudice.
Laws have been enacted and edicts issued to prohibit discrimina-
tion in employment, housing, schools, public accommodations and
all other places of business; but these are not enough. Justice
demands that every citizen consciously adopt and accentuate a
personal commitment to affirmative action which will make equal
opportunity a reality.
To increase this effort I am issuing an Executive Order to redefine
the existing Code of Fair Practices for the State of California in
a manner which will emphasize equal opportunity and fair practice
in all activities of the state.
Please post the attached Code of Fair Practices to insure widest
distribution to all personnel in your department.
Sincerely,
Racard Reagne
RONALD REAGAN
Governor
CALIFORNIA CODE OF FAIR PRACTICES
As the 33rd Governor of California, I believe it imperative
that we, the servants of all the citizens of our State, continue
to exert every effort to correct any inequities which heretofore
may have been, or may in the future be imposed on a person simply
because that person differs in some way from the majority. That
we guarantee and guard the right of every person in our State to
enjoy to his or her fullest capability the birthrights of our
democracy without discrimination or prejudice. To this end this
State has enacted laws to prohibit discrimination in employment,
housing, schools, public accommodations, and all other places of
business.
Time and experience have proven that laws and edicts are
not enough. Justice demands that every citizen consciously adopt
and accentuate a personal and public commitment to affirmative
action which will make equal opportunity a reality.
To meet my personal commitment and the obligation of our
State and under the authority vested in me by the Constitution,
I hereby affirm the following Code of Fair Practices to be the
official policy of the Executive Branch of the State of
California.
-2-
ARTICLE I. POLICY DECLARATION
Equal opportunity for all citizens is the policy of the
State of California in all of its activities. Employees shall
rigorously enforce that policy. They shall take any or all
affirmative action necessary to assure equality of opportunity
in the internal affairs of state government and in its rela-
tions with the general public, including correction of any past
inequity which may tend to deny equal opportunity to all.
ARTICLE II. PERSONNEL POLICIES OF STATE AGENCIES
State officials and supervisory employees shall recruit,
appoint, assign, train, evaluate, and promote state personnel
on the basis of merit and fitness, without regard to race, sex,
color, religion, national origin, or ancestry. All state
agencies shall promulgate clear, written directives to carry
out this policy and to guarantee equal employment opportunities
at all levels of state government. They shall regularly review
their personnel practices to assure compliance. Where existing
staffing patterns reflect less than complete adherence, they
shall determine the cause, and if necessary, initiate special
recruitment programs to correct the situation. They shall
conduct continuing orientation and training programs with
emphasis on human relations and fair employment practices. The
State Personnel Board shall take positive steps to insure that
the entire civil service process is free from conscious,
unconscious, or inadvertent bias of any kind.
-3-
ARTICLE III. SERVICES AND FACILITIES
All services of every state agency shall be performed
without discrimination based on race, sex, color, religion,
national origin, or ancestry. No state facility shall be
used in furtherance of any discriminatory practice, nor shall
any state agency become a party to any agreement, arrangement,
or plan which has the effect of sanctioning such practices.
Each state agency shall critically analyze all of its operations
to ascertain possible instances of noncompliance with this
policy, and shall instigate sustained, comprehensive affirma-
tive action programs to remedy any defects found to exist.
ARTICLE IV. CONTRACTS AND SUBCONTRACTS
Every state contract and subcontract for public works or
for goods or services shall contain a clause prohibiting dis-
criminatory employment practices by contractors and subcon-
tractors based on race, sex, color, religion, national origin,
or ancestry. The nondiscrimination clause shall include a
provision requiring state contractors and subcontractors to give
written notice of their commitments under this clause to any
labor union with which they have a collective bargaining or
other agreement and to undertake such affirmative action as will
fully implement the purposes of this Code of Fair Practices.
Such contractual provisions shall be fully and effectively
enforced, and any breach of them shall be regarded as a material
breach of the contract. Annually, each state agency shall submit
to the Governor certification of compliance with these provisions
by all contractors and subcontractors.
-4-
ARTICLE V. STATE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
All state agencies, including educational institutions,
which provide employment referral or placement services to
public or private employers shall accept job orders only on
a nondiscriminatory basis, except where such services are
clearly and explicitly for the purpose of correcting an
imbalance. They shall reject any job order designed to exclude
any member of a minority group because of race, sex, color,
religion, national origin, or ancestry. They shall advise
the Fair Employment Practice Commission of employers or unions
known to persist in restrictive hiring practices. They shall
assist employers and unions seeking to broaden their recruit-
ment programs to include qualified applicants of various racial,
religious, and ethnic backgrounds. In addition, the Department
of Human Resources Development shall fully utilize its know-
ledge of the labor market, and contracts with job applicants,
employers, and unions for promotion of equal employment
opportunities.
ARTICLE VI. STATE FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE COMMISSION
All state agencies shall cooperate fully with the Fair
Employment Practice Commission on its enforcement and educa-
tional programs. They shall comply with its requests for
information concerning practices found to be, or alleged to be,
inconsistent with the state policy of nondiscrimination, and
they shall follow its recommendations for giving effect to that
policy. In addition to discharging its enforcement duties, the
-5-
Commission shall place emphasis on programs of affirmative
action in the field of human rights.
ARTICLE VII. EDUCATION, COUNSELING, AND TRAINING PROGRAMS
All educational, counseling, and vocational guidance pro-
grams and all apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs
of state agencies, or in which state agencies participate,
shall be open to all qualified persons, without regard to race,
sex, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry. Such pro-
grams shall be conducted to encourage the fullest development
of the interests, aptitudes, skills, and capacities of all
students and trainees, with special attention to the problems
of culturally deprived, educationally handicapped, or economically
disadvantaged persons. Expansion of training opportunities
under these programs shall also be encouraged with a view toward
involving larger numbers of participants from these segments of
the labor force where the need for upgrading levels of skill is
greatest.
ARTICLE VIII. PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
All private educational institutions licensed or chartered
by the State, including professional, business, and vocational
training schools, shall be required to show compliance with
the state policy of nondiscrimination in their student admissions
and other practices as a condition of continued participation in
any state program or elibibility to receive any form of state
assistance.
-6-
ARTICLE IX. LICENSING AND REGULATORY AGENCIES
State agencies shall not consider any individual's race,
sex, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry in granting,
denying or revoking a license or charter; nor shall any person,
corporation, or business firm which is licensed or regulated
by the State discriminate against or segregate any person
on such grounds. All businesses licensed or regulated by the
State shall operate on a nondiscriminatory basis, according
equal treatment and access to their services to all persons.
Any licensee or charter holder who fails to comply with this
policy shall be subject to such disciplinary action as is con-
sistent with the legal authority and rules and regulations of
the appropriate licensing or regulatory agency.
ARTICLE X. HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS
No person, corporation, or firm licensed or chartered by
the State to engage in the business of selling, leasing, rent-
ing, financing, building, or developing housing accommodations
shall discriminate against any prospective buyer, lessee, or
tenant because of race, sex, color, religion, national origin,
or ancestry; nor shall any licensee or charter holder solicit,
induce or promote the sale, lease or the listing for sale or
lease, of residential property on the ground that a person,
female or male, of minority racial, religious or ethnic back-
ground has or has not established or will or will not establish
residence in the neighborhood; nor shall any licensee or charter
holder knowingly engage in any activities deliberately designed
-7-
to promote or perpetuate neighborhood segregation. All such
licensees or charter holders shall cooperate fully with the
State Fair Employment Practice Commission in its educational
and promotional activities designed to eliminate unlawful
discrimination in housing accommodations. Any real estate
broker or salesman, corporate owner, lending institution, home-
builder, or developer who fails to comply with this policy shall
be subject to such disciplinary action as is consistent with the
legal authority and rules and regulations of the appropriate
licensing or regulatory agency.
ARTICLE XI. PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Through its policy declarations and staff services, the
State Board of Education shall assist local school districts
in eliminating racial segregation and relieving the social,
economic and educational deficiencies resulting from segrega-
tion in the State's public schools. The Board shall provide
incentive and encourage the recruitment of quality administra-
tors and teachers who will accept employment and private
residence in those school districts where quality education
is most critically needed. The Board shall also pursue programs
promoting fair employment practices for certificated teachers
and approving textbooks which accurately and realistically
portray the contributions of minority groups to the history and
culture of this state and nation.
-8-
ARTICLE XII. STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Race, sex, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry
shall not be considered in administering state programs involv-
ing the distribution of funds to qualified recipients for
benefits authorized by law; nor shall state agencies provide
grants, loans, or other financial assistance to public agencies,
private institutions or organizations which engage in or promote
discriminatory practices.
ARTICLE XIII. LAW ENFORCEMENT
Through the Attorney General's Office, the state shall
encourage local law enforcement agencies to develop special
training programs in the field of human relations, to establish
formal procedures for the investigation of citizen complaints
of alleged abuses of authority by individual peace officers,
and to promote mutual understanding and respect for the law
enforcement officer's duty to maintain the peace and the
citizen's right to protection of his constitutional guarantees.
ARTICLE XIV. REPORTS
In order to improve and expedite widespread adoption of
new or innovative procedures, state agencies shall be required
to report progress and developments in affirmative action pro-
grams on a continuous basis as they occur and to furnish summary
reports as requested by the Governor's Office. Such report
shall include both internal programs and external relations
with the public or with other state agencies.
-9-
ARTICLE XV. PUBLICATION AND POSTING OF CODE
Copies of this Code of Fair Practices shall be distributed
to all state officials, employees, and the governing boards of
all political subdivisions of the state. The code shall be
posted in conspicuous locations in all state facilities.

Governor Ronald Reagan has vetoed the following bill:
SB 517 - Dymally Requires the governing board of Los Angeles Unified
School District to provide for the establishment
and operation of a school-community council for
each school within the district.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The need for meaningful parent participation in the
educational processes of the Los Angeles School
District is beyond question. However, I am vetoing
this bill because it imposes on the Los Angeles School
District a structure and procedures which are opposed
by the Los Angeles Board of Education and by its
Superintendent of Schools. It is not appropriate for
the state to interfere in local school affairs against
the will of those who immediately represent the
citizens and at a time when the district is working
out a decentralization plan, a major part of which
is the operation of school-community advisory councils
in each school.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the
governor said.

"The U.S. Supreme Court action, in my judgment, is consistent with

"If the public's interests are to be protected and our citizens
are to receive the guarantee of their government, whether it be federal,

Acting Governor Ed Reinecke has signed Senate Bill 504
which he described as "a landmark measure that will allow private
property owners to open their lands to recreational use without
facing the threat of losing title to the property." "
The legislation by Senator Robert J. Lagomarsino (R-Ojai)
prospectively reverses a California Supreme Court decision which held
that if a property owner continued to allow the unchecked use of his
land by the public for five years or more, it could constitute an
implied dedication of the land to the public.
"This bill establishes a responsible balance between public
and private property rights and should assure the continued use of
access to beaches, streams and forests by the public," Reinecke said.

The following statement, attributed to a Governor's Office
spokesman, was released to members of the press attending
Assemblyman William Bagley's press conference on tax reform:
"As Assemblyman Bagley has mentioned, the governor is adding
his endorsement to AB 105. Our tax reform discussions of some two
weeks had two aims. One vas to provide lasting property tax relief
to California's citizens and the second was to provide a means of
meeting California's fiscal crisis.
"We are no longer able to insure to the people of California
that we will be able to successfully deliver property tax reform
during this legislative session. It is still necessary, however,
that the state enact withholding January 1, 1972, have authority
to sell revenue anticipation notes and, raise taxes to the extent
of $130 million.
"AB 185 meets each of those objectives and, thus, the adminis-
tration is asking for its enactment."

of replacing property stolen from a school employee by robbery or theft
while on duty.
"Present law permits school boards to compensate employees

no fault of the employee. I question the need to extend this authority
to include personal property lost as a result of theft or robbery. Such
compensation should be limited to personal property damaged or destroyed
as a direct consequence of the employee's work activity. Furthermore,
it would be impossible for a school district to accurately determine
the value of personal property no longer in the possession of the employe

Code a motion picture film developer who is employed
by person licensed by any city or county and acting
within scope of employment, if such film developer
has no financial interest in the motion picture
which he is developing and does not know that such
film constitutes obscene matter.
REASON FOR VETO:
"There has been a marked increase in the number of
film developers in California, whose entire business
is that of developing and producing pornographic
films. If this bill were law, it might be possible
for management personnel employed by pornographic
film developers to be exempt from prosecution even
though they act in concert with producers of
pornographic films.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
the governor said.

Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today issued the following statement:
"I would like to open this press conference with an announcement of
an extremely important accomplishment we have made here in California
one which no other major state can match.
"State Social Welfare Director Robert Carleson informed me this
morning that as a result of the administrative actions and regulatory
changes undertaken by his department since the first of the year, along
with the strong emphasis our administration has placed on overhauling the
state's welfare system, California's welfare rolls have now declined for
the sixth month in a row. This contrasts sharply with what is happening
in other states across the nation where soaring welfare caseloads continue
on the upswing,
"The figures show that during the month of September, there were
nearly 10,000 fewer Californians on welfare than in August, and 115,008
less than we counted on the rolls a half year ago,
"Had the Reagan administration not pressed vigorously for welfare
reform had we not instituted administrative reforms wherever and wheneve
possible our projections show there would be over 300,000 more people
on welfare than there are now.
"I want to emphasize that the six-month drop in the number on
welfare reflects only the administrative reforms we have put into effect.
The impact of California's new welfare reform law will not be felt until
November or December.
"It is worth noting that last month the number of recipients on
county financed general relief decreased by more than 3,000 in spite of
earlier claims of some that any decrease in state funded welfare programs
would automatically push more recipients onto county relief rolls.
"The fact is, the total general relief caseload in the state has been
reduced twenty percent over the past six months.
"Even if the declining trend we have established begins to level out
in the months ahead, the fact that we in California have been able to
confound the so-called welfare experts who said it couldn't be done for
six straight months reaffirms our strong conviction that the approach
we have taken to bring welfare back under control is sound, that it really
works, and points the way to true reform."

Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today asked the federal government
to make funds available to prevent flood damage for fire ravaged areas
in Santa Barbara County.
In a telegram to Office of Emergency Preparedness Director George
A. Lincoln, he said:
"As a result of the widespread fires in Santa Barbara County
beginning on or about October 6, 1971, I have proclaimed the area to
be in a 'state of emergency.'
"Due to the loss of over 15,000 acres of watershed there exists
an imminent threat to life and property. It is estimated that a 3 to 4
inch rainfall (an amount not unusual for the area) could cause damage
to the area approaching the 6 to 8 million dollar loss suffered in
the floods of January-February 1969.
"As a result of this threat of a major disaster, I request that
you invoke the authority of Section 221 of Public Law 91-606 to assist
the state and its local governments in our efforts to avert or lessen
the effects of this potential disaster."

The acting governor has also announced the veto of the
following bills:
AB 297 - Dunlap
Authorizes the Napa River Flood Control Project in
Napa County for financial assistance by the State.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I share the Governor's position that it is
inequitable for the taxpayers of this state to bear
the cost of flood control projects without requiring
greater local participation in the cost of such
projects.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
the acting governor said.
AB 653 - Wood
Adopts and authorizes the federal flood control
project for the Pajaro River in Monterey and Santa
Cruz Counties for state financial participation
pursuant to the State Water Resources Law of 1945
and the Flood Control Law of 1946.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I share the governor's position that it is
inequitable for the taxpayers of this state to bear
the cost of flood control projects without requiring
greater local participation in the cost of such
projects.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the
acting governor said.
AB 1347 - LaCoste
Permits a community college district to exempt a
nonresident student who is both a citizen and a
resident of a foreign country, based upon financial
need of the student as determined by the district,
from all or part of the nonresident fee independently
of the exemption authorized for specified other
persons.
REASON FOR VETO:
"This bill seeks to modify the Education Code
provisions concerning the payment of nonresident
fees by community college students who are both
residents and citizens of foreign countries. I
question whether the changes made by this bill will
have the effect desired by its proponents. However,
I have a more basic objection to this proposal.
AB 1347 amends a law that gives a substantial
advantage to citizens of other countries without
providing equivalent benefits to native born
nonresident students. I urge the legislature to
address itself to solving this fundamental problem
before it attempts to further amend an inequitable
law.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
the acting governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan, in what he called "one of the most
difficult decisions I have made during my term of office," today
vetoed the so-called "Cling Peach Bill."
In his veto message, the governor said:
"I am fully aware of the economic distress of cling peach growers
caused by overproduction. I know that many of them regard this bill as
a way out of their dilemma.
"Yet, I am convinced that any short-run advantage gained
from SB 522 would be far outweighed by its long-term detrimental effects
on the cling peach industry itself, on California agriculture generally
and on the economy of the State.
"The bill would authorize acreage certificates to limit the
number of acres from which cling peaches may be marketed. This type
of interference with a free market is undesirable and it will not work,
except perhaps temporarily.
"Prospective new growers would be limited to no more than a
total of 500 acres annually, although the bill ostensibly makes 500
acres the minimum rather than the maximum. This is a restraint of
free enterprise with which this administration cannot agree.
"An arbitrary curb on production, if reflected in a higher
price for the end product, could intensify and encourage competition both
at home and abroad from foreign cling peach canners and from other canned
fruits. This would inflict great economic harm on California peach
growers.
"The bill has other specific defects, such as the unrealistic
requirement that findings be made of the estimated supply and market
demand for three years in advance of the current marketing season.
"For these reasons, I feel that I must veto SB 522. This is
with full recognition of the many economic problems plaguing the industry.
Many cling peach growers have suffered considerable economic hardship and
are in need of help to develop solutions for improved stability. To this
end I am asking our Director of Agriculture, Jerry Fielder, to meet with
cling peach industry representatives to seek other methods of solving
the economic problems of producers.
"Our objective is to seek long range and lasting solutions to
this type of problem."

AB 115 - Deddeh
Declares legislative intent that proper steps be
taken to identify and provide special training for
limited-English speaking pupils. The bill specifies
the content of elementary and secondary school programs
to aid such pupils and establishes standards for the
personnel involved in such programs.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Our state has always included those who come from
many nations. The education of some has been
handicapped because of lack of proficiency in the
English language. One important approach to helping
those who are language handicapped in their educational
achievement is an effective system of bilingual
instruction.
"I am vetoing this particular bilingual education bill
because I feel it is imperative that we direct
programs in a manner which will most effectively insure
that our language handicapped students achieve their
full potential in the shortest period of time.
"AB 115 offers uncertainties in our quest for the
above objective. It mandates that all school
districts establish bilingual education programs and
that these programs include mathematics, science and
social science taught in the foreign language native
to all English handicapped students. This would be
done before we know the true dimension of the problem
and the teaching resources available. We know there
are over a half million Spanish speaking children
alone in our state, some of whom are not proficient
in English. We also know there are a limited number
of teachers trained to serve the needs of foreign
language speaking youngsters so as to bridge
educational deficiencies where they exist.
"Assembly Bill 115 would not provide school districts
with the flexibility to employ their resources to the
highest and best use. We should recognize that at
the present time there are over $8 million in federal
funds being spent by California school districts each
in its own way exploring solutions to bilingual prob-
lems. The Department of Education has properly
established a Bilingual-Bicultural Task Force to
evaluate and to learn from existing programs. This
task force has not completed its mission, It is
working on a Master Plan to cope with bilingual and
bicultural deficiencies. It is hoped that the plan
will offer goals for districts and will inventory
teaching personnel and curriculum resources available.

AB 550 - Foran
Provides a yearly allowance of $150 for uniforms,
revolvers and distinctive accessories of California
Highway Patrol members, payable upon proof of purchase.
The bill appropriates $850,000 from the Motor Vehicle
Fund to finance such allowances.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Although the appropriation in the bill from the Motor
Vehicle Fund would represent current fiscal year costs,
it should be pointed out that should this bill become
law, a like amount would have to be reflected in the
Highway Patrol's budget for each successive year, since
the bill calls for an annual uniform allowance. The
budgeted amount would also have to reflect any future
increase in the uniformed strength of the Patrol.
"While I am concerned over this substantial increase
in State government costs, I believe a more basic
policy question is raised by this bill. Providing
for the cost of uniform allowances for state employees
should not be approachedon a segmented basis.
"Additionally, I believe any decision on uniform
requirements and allowances for state employees
should await careful consideration of the
recommendations made by the legislative analyst in
his report prepared pursuant to Senate Concurrent
Resolution No. 62 (Res. Chapter 67). In that report,
the analyst recommends that the State Personnel Board
conduct a detailed review of the entire subject of
state employee uniform requirements, and that any
action to provide uniform allowances prior to this
review and resulting recommendations would be premature
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," the
governor said.
AB 790 - Brown
Makes the University of California and the California
State Colleges subject to the Government Code provision
relating to payroll deductions.
REASON FOR VETO:
"AB 790 is unnecessary inasmuch as the California
State Colleges and the University of California
already provide for payroll deductions for their
academic and nonacademic employees.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned, the
governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today met with State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Wilson Riles, Henry Gunderson, President of the State
Board of Education, and Dr. Louis Saylor, Director of the State Department
of Public Health, to discuss California's venereal disease epidemic
They agreed that no changes in existing state law are necessary to
institute a series of guidelines aimed at accelerating anti-VD
instruction programs in public schools across the state.
The governor, in pledging the full resources of his administration
to assist the State Board of Education and Riles' State Department of
Education in the establishment of such guidelines, said they "will help
school districts and schools which have not already done so to begin
venereal disease instruction immediately.
"We agreed that there is, right now, clearly enough authority in the
law to initiate a crash program to combat VD, " he said.
"The fact that parents must be notified in advance should not
inhibit or hinder putting such vital instruction as this into effect
immediately. As a matter of fact parental notification should assist
the student because the parents will be familiar with the educational
program.
"The new guidelines will make perfectly clear the ways in which our
public schools can provide anti-VD instruction quickly and responsibly
without violating the intent of any present provisions of the law,"
the governor said.

Part of the governor's anti-crime program, the bill (SB 482 by

officer is harmed and a misdemeanor if he is not harmed.
"There is no doubt that the man who wears the badge has become the

legislation serves notice on the criminal and the revolutionary alike

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
State Social Welfare Director Robert B. Carleson today hailed a
decision by the State Third District Court of Appeal overruling the
action of a Sacramento Superior Court Judge who attempted to block the
implementation of a major provision of California's new welfare reform
law.
In effect, the Appellate Court today removed from the jurisdiction
of Superior Court Judge William M. Gallagher's court any further judi-
cial action on that part of the massive Welfare Reform Act which
requires adult children to contribute to the support of their needy,
aged parents.
Carleson praised today's appellate court ruling as "bringing us a
step closer toward removing the uncertainty and confusion" which
resulted from a restraining order issued October 14 by Judge Gallagher.
"Now we can get on with implementing this part of the new welfare reform
law which was passed overwhelmingly by both houses of the legislature
and signed by the governor August 13.
"We have been deeply concerned," Carleson said, "about the issuance
of temporary restraining orders by the courts without providing prior
notice to the state---hence effectively denying the state any opportunity
to fully present its side of the issue. Such orders cause tremendous
confusion, not only at state and county administrative levels, but also
among welfare recipients themselves."
Carleson noted that on October 14, five hours after the State
Attorney General had filed an affidavit to disqualify Judge Gallagher
from conducting any further proceedings on this provision of the new
welfare reform law, Judge Gallagher chose to ignore the affidavit and
issued a temporary restraining order anyway. The Attorney General's
affidavit stated that Judge Gallagher was "prejudiced against
the
interest of" the state and that a "fair and impartial trial or hearing
before such judge" was not possible.

One week later, + Attorney General argued fore the appellate
court that Gallagher's court had "prejudicially abused its discretion,
and acted contrary to law in entering and filing the
October 14 re-
straining order and order to show cause, in that the Honorable William
M. Gallagher
was disqualified from executing and causing to be filed
the restraining order and order to show cause, by virtue of the
previous
motion for disqualification."
The appellate court ruling today stayed Judge Gallagher's earlier
action and restrained the Sacramento County Superior Court from "all
further proceedings. If

Governor Ronald Reagan has announced the Veto of the following
bills:
SB 679 - Stevens
Replaces the Director of General Services with the
Director of Finance on the State Board of Control
and makes the Controller the chairman thereof,
rather than the Director of General Services.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The Department of General Services was
established to administer many of the housekeeping
functions of the State and to relieve the Director
of Finance of the statutory assignments to many
boards and commissions. This bill would reverse
this policy decision and restore the Director of
Finance to membership on the Board of Control.
"The types of claims and other action items coming
before the Board of Control fit most closely with
the statutory responsibilities carried by the
Director of General Services and make him especially
well qualified to make decisions on these issues.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
the governor said.
SB 1338 - Wedworth
Permits Medi-Cal providers to assign receipts from
health care claims to third parties no earlier than
30 days after submission of claims to fiscal
intermediaries.
REASON FOR VETO:
"There has not been any real need demonstrated for
this proposal which would introduce an unnecessary
complexity into the accounting for and payment of
Medi-Cal claims, requiring additional personnel
and increased administrative costs.
"The bill is written so that all Medi-Cal providers
could have all their recurring expenses, such as
telephone bills, gas bills, etc., paid through
assignment and would thus shift their bookkeeping
costs to the fiscal intermediaries and ultimately
to the State and the general taxpayer.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
the governor said.
PeTRis
SB 861 - Kennick
Makes several amendments to the Health and
Safety Code provisions relating to the management
and operation of local housing authorities. It
expands the definition of the term "housing project'
The bill requires housing authorities to include
one tenant as a commissioner. The bill also
requires a written statement of reasonable cause
for eviction and a grievance procedure before
any eviction action is filed. The bill also
makes changes relating to the right of entry of a
tenants dwelling, tenant liability for damage to
a dwelling, requirement for public notices, waiting
lista, and a requirement that certain documents
be translated into languages other than English
in certain cases.
REASON FOR VETO:
"My principal concern with SB 861 is the provision
that mandates the appointment of a housing
authority tenant as one of the commissioners of
that authority. While I have no objections to a
tenant being appointed as a member of an appointive
housing authority, I believe that local governmental
jurisdictions should have maximum latitude and
flexibility in appointing such members. Senate
Bill 861 would, if enacted, remove that flexibility
by mandating tenant membership.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned," " the
governor said.
-5-
#600
AB 2155 - Knox
Clarifies what Election Code violations constitute
grounds for ineligibility to register to vote.
REASON FOR VETO:
AB 2155 apparently seeks to reflect the decision of
the California Supreme Court in Otsuka V. Hite
(1966). The court in that case discussed the type
of crimes that would constitute a threat to the
integrity of the elective process' for the
purpose of determining eligibility to register to
vote, The Hite decision did not limit such
offenses to violations of the Elections Code.
"Any statutory guidelines developed to aid county
clerks in the uniform administration of this part
of the elcetion law should include those other
crimes that also constitute "a threat to the
integrity of the elective process.'
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
the governor said.
AB 2891 - Crown
Appropriates $1,200,000 for the support of services
to physically handicapped children.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Over $11.5 million has been appropriated during
the current fiscal year for the Crippled Childrens
Service program. AB 2891 seeks to augment that
appropriation. I feel that it is inappropriate to
further augment this program at this time.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned,"
the governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that will impose
strict controls on the use of pesticides and sets up a licensing
program for "pest control advisors."
The bill (SB 1021 by Senator John A. Nejedly, R-Walnut Creek),
will also require use permits for all pesticides which have not been
approved as safe by the State Department of Agriculture.
"This measure will provide further protection not only for the
agricultural workers and the users of pesticides but will also help us
to preserve the environment," the governor said.
