It\nwould threaten to virtually shut down California's agricultural industry\nand all the jobs that are related to agriculture-- in trucking, processing\ncanning, shipping, transportation and container manufacturing.\n\"The ban on nuclear power plant construction under Proposition 9\ncould literally cause a return of the dark ages in California. We must\nmove forward to develop nuclear-produced electrical energy if we are to\nprovide the electricity California needs to have a prosperous economy,\njobs for its people and enough power to light our homes, hospitals and\nschools.\n\"Instead of helping protect the environment, Proposition 9 would\ncause more smog because if we cannot develop nuclear energy sources,\nthere will have to be more fossil-fuel burning plants which cause more\nair pollution, not less.\n\"Democrats and Republicans alike must unite to defeat this\nunreasonable, unworkable attempt to put California's economy in a\nstraightjacket.\n\"Every Californian who cares whether he will have a job tomorrow or\nelectricity to light his home in the future should vote \"No\" on\nProposition 9 in Tuesday's primary election.\"\n#####\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-2-72\n#342\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today urged California voters to\nvote \"Yes\" on Proposition 1, a $250 million bond issue to finance low\ninterest home and farm loans for veterans under the Cal-Vet program.\n\"This program does not cost a penny of the taxpayers' money,\"\nGovernor Reagan said. \"But Proposition 1 will allow Cal-Vet to assist\nthousands of young veterans in their re-adjustment to civilian life.\n\"Since this program was first enacted, more than 267,000\nCalifornia veterans have been able to purchase a farm or home at low\ninterest rates.\n\"By helping veterans finance homes and farms, the program\nalso has returned many other benefits. The additional demand for\nhomes stimulates the housing industry, a vital part of the state's\neconomy. This in turn has a mushrooming impact on many other idustries\nwhich provide jobs and tax revenue in California.\n\"The people of California have long recognized the Cal-Vet\nprogram as one which is worthy of their support. They have approved\nevery previous bond issue to support Cal-Vet. The program has served\nveterans of all wars since World War I, but those funds are now out on\nloan. This new bond issue is required so the state may offer the same\nlow interest loan privilege to returning veterans from the Vietnam\nconflict,\" the Governor said.\n\"Again, I want to emphasize that this is a self-supporting\nprogram that won't cost the taxpayers a cent. But Proposition 1 does\nredeem our obligation to help the Vietnam era veteran in his re-adjustmen\nto civilian life while at the same time providing a boost to our own\nconstruction industry and all other businesses associated with home\nownership.\n\"The Vietnam veteran has a right to expect this loan benefit\nthat California has provided to veterans of all previous conflicts.\n\"I urge every citizen to vote \"Yes\" on Proposition 1 on\nTuesday's primary ballot.\"\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, Californi 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-2-72\n#343\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nJune 5, 1972\nthrough\nJune 11, 1972\nMonday, June 5\n3:30 p.m.\nBrief visit with Preston Martin, chairman,\nFederal Home Loan Bank Board and former\ndirector of the California State Savings and\nLoan Department, Governor's Office\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nTuesday, June 6\nMorning\nGovernor to vote, Pacific Palisades\nEvening\nNixon Primary Victory Celebration, Ambassador\nHotel, Los Angeles\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nWednesday, June 7\nNo public appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Sacramento\nThursday, June 8\n10:30 a.m.\nPRESS CONFERENCE\nOvernight - Sacramento\nFriday, June 9\nNo public appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Sacramento\nSaturday, June 10\nNo appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Los Angeles\nSunday, June 11\nNo appointments scheduled\nOvernight - Los Angeles\n# # #\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE\nImmediate\nSacramento, Californ\n95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-2-72\n#344\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills have\nbeen signed:\nAB 29 - Priolo\nChanges the definition of an \"educational institution\nChapter 105\nof collegiate grade\" for purposes of the college\nexemption from property taxation to include an\ninstitution which confers upon its graduates at least\none academic or professional degree based on a course\nof at least two, rather than four, years in liberal\narts and sciences, commencing on the lien date of 1973\nAB 97 - Ketchum\nRequires that county civil service ordinances allow\nChapter 106\nan officer or employee dismissed, suspended, or demote\nseven rather than five days to file his appeal.\nAB 365 - Biddle\nAuthorizes specified newly formed recreation and park\nChapter 107\ndistricts to file a map or plat of boundaries required\nfor assessment and taxation purposes after the date\nnormally required for such filing.\nAB 373 - Stull\nRevises the statement of the proposition submitted\nChapter 108\nto the voters on the ballot at the election required\nto authorize an irrigation district to provide for\nsewage disposal to ask whether the district shall\nprovide for sewage disposal or acquire existing sewage\ndisposal facilities in accordance with a specified\napplication to the local agency formation commission,\nrather than whether the district shall provide for\nsewage disposal within that portion of the district\nnot then provided with adequate service.\nAB 443--Duffy\nEliminates the requirement that service in the medical\nChapter 109\ncorps of the armed forces must be for 23 months for\ndesignated persons to qualify to take the vocational\nnurse examination.

The bill authorizes the impanelment\nof two grand juries in any county, one to inquire into\nall matters subject to grand jury inquiry, except\npublic offenses, and one to inquire into public\noffenses.\nREASON FOR VETO:\n\"The problems of restructuring California's grand\njury system has been the subject of much recent\ndiscussion. Last year I requested Attorney General\nEvelle Younger to conduct a comprehensive study of\nthe state's grand jury laws. As a result of this study\nlegislation has been introduced which would improve\nour present system of conducting grand jury\nactivities.\n\"Assembly Bill 70, by contrast, addresses only one\nfacet of the grand jury problem and would increase\nrather than resolve some of the basic objections\nwhich have been made due to the current system.\n\"AB 70 would complicate the method prescribed by\nstatute for the selection of grand juries, would\nrequire the impanelment of new grand juries in some\ncounties every 30 days under certain circumstances,\nwould prevent a uniform method of administering grand\njury selection throughout the state, and would divide\nresponsibility for the utilization of the grand jury\nprocess in criminal cases.\n- 1 -\n#349\nselection procedures, incorporating the principle\n\"I feel that new legislation concerning grand jury\nof random selection, should be part of a\ncomprehensive revision of the grand jury system.\nSuch an overall approach is included in Senate Bill\n813, presently pending before the legislature.\n\"Because of the availability of comprehensive\nlegislation, and because of the deficiencies\ncontained in AB 70, I am returning the bill unsigned.\n######\nWalthall\n- 2 -\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: AT WILL\nSacramento, Californi 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-7-72\nMEMORANDUM TO CORRESPONDENTS: (USIA - Foreign correspondents)\nFor your information, the following California Import-Export trade\nfigures (the latest available) have been compiled by the California\nState Department of Commerce.

However, federal approval was withdrawn by the\nDepartment of Health, Education and Welfare after a federal district\ncourt in Washington ruled that HEW had not given the National and\nCalifornia Welfare Rights Organizations the required 30 days to study\nthe program.\nHEW reapproved the project Tuesday, June 6, granting the necessary\nwaiver of federal regulations to permit its implementation.\nGovernor Reagan also announced the initiation of legal action in a\nfederal court in Los Angeles to have the Community Work Experience\nProgram (CWEP) declared valid under state and federal law.\n\"HEW's approval, coupled with the Welfare Reform Act of 1971, leaves\nno doubt about the legal validity of the project,\" Governor Reagan said.\n\"Despite this, welfare rights organizations have frequently stated their\nintent to stop the program. The state has taken the unprecedented step\nof beating the opposition to the courthouse to forestall further delays.\n\"I am hopeful this unique legal approach will allow the state to\nimplement CWEP in all 35 counties, free from costly delays resulting from\nlegal actions initiated at the whim of the welfare rights' attorneys.\"\nThe CWEP is to test the concept that able-bodied employable welfare\nrecipients should be required to seek work, take part in training, accept\na job if offered, or do work for the community in order to receive their\nwelfare grants.\nAble-bodied welfare recipients will be required to register with the\nstate's Department of Human Resources Development for community work\nassignments if they do not immediately find regular work or training\nwhile on welfare.\n- 1 -\n#352\nThe assignments will be temporary and limited to a maximum of 80\nhours per month. The program's objective is to give employable welfare\nrecipients who can't find jobs an opportunity to obtain work experience\nwhile contributing to community improvement that would not otherwise\nbe done.\nSeveral other counties, yet to be announced, will be taking part in\nthe project this month. The state plans to have the program fully under\nway in all 35 counties next year. It expects to register an estimated\n58,000 welfare recipients. Of these, about 30,000 will be given work\nassignments during the first year.\n\"I believe this program is a practical and sensible way to reduce\ndependency on welfare in California,' Governor Reagan said. \"It will be\nwelcomed by most of the participants as a way to help them develop some\nwork experience and eventually find permanent employment.\"\nThe program will be administered by the departments of Human\nResources Development and Social Welfare.\n#####\nWalthall\n- 2 -\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, Californi 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-9-72\nGovernor Reagan will attend a caucus meeting\nof the California Republican Delegation pledged to\nthe reelection of the President tomorrow, Saturday,\nJune 10, 10 a.m., at the International Hotel in\nLos Angeles.

And,\nbecause we have made the development of a new and more effective program\nfor the management of solid wastes a top priority item on our\nenvironmental agenda, this function also will be the responsibility\nof the new board,\" the governor said.\n\"In my view, this agreement is, in large measure, the result of\nthis administration's continuing efforts to develop a more comprehensive\napproach to preserving and enhancing California's environment. The\nnegotiations have resulted in success because of the constructive spirit\nof understanding and cooperation demonstrated by both sides.\n\"As I said in my 'state-of-the-state's environment speech' to the\nLong Beach Joint Service Clubs earlier this year:\n'If you solve the garbage problem by burning it, you add to air\npollution. If you dump it at sea you create another problem.\n'Instead of fragmented, single-purpose agencies, we should develop\nour pollution control efforts in a more coordinated manner because, in\nmany cases, some form of pollution does affect another.'\n-1-\n#361\nGovernor Reagan said the agreement announced today indicates that\nvarious members of the legislature have begun to respond to the\nadministration's prodding on a number of environmental proposals.\nThe governor again asked the legislature to pass emergency\nlegislation to allow the state to regulate forest practices until such\nlong-range regulations can be developed. He said the passage of such\nlegislation is more urgent than ever with the heavy logging and fire\nhazard season which is now upon us.\nGovernor Reagan also urged the enactment of coastline protection\nlegislation and said the administration has offered specific guidelines\nfor preserving and enhancing the entire coastline of the state without\nunduly infringing on its economic development.\nThe governor said the administration has proposed legislation to\nestablish a powerplant siting council and asked the legislature to\nact on it as soon as possible during the current session. The council\nwould have the responsibility of evaluating the environmental impact\nof powerplant sites and approving their locations. \"It would be an\narm of government which could give full consideration to necessary\nenvironmental safeguards,\" he said.\n\"The legislature has had this subject before it for a number of\nyears. This is the year we must act. We have been fortunate in not\nexperiencing the brown-outs and black-outs that are too familiar in\nother areas of the country and the world and we want to keep it that\nway,\" the governor reiterated.\n# # #\n-2-\nGray\nSUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENT REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT\nThe bill would create a new pollution control entity called the\nState Environmental Protection Board within the Resources Agency.\nThe entity would consist of a seven man State Environmental\nProtection Board, the Executive Director and staff, the State\nWater Rights Council, the Citizens Council on Environmental\nProtection, and the regional environmental protection boards.\nThe State Environmental Protection Board would succeed to the\nexisting powers of the State Air Resources Board and the State\nWater Resources Control Board. It would assume the solid waste\nfunctions created by SB 5. The board would have power to review\nand comment on regulations of other departments dealing with\nradiation, pesticides, and noise and would coordinate environ-\nmental impact statements prepared by State government. It shall\nconduct a study to recommend a state policy on noise.\nThe State Board would have responsibility for establishing\nmajor policies, standards, rules, and regulations for pollution\ncontrol and would hear appeals. The Executive Director would be\nappointed by the Governor, would have responsibility for the\nadministrative functions, and would be the appointing authority\nfor the civil service staff.\nThe chairman of the State Board would be the Secretary for\nResources or his designee. The six members of the board would\nbe appointed by the Governor for staggered four-year terms. The\nmembers would be chosen to ensure that all the following areas\nof expertise would be represented in the board: air quality,\nnoise, nuclear radiation, pesticides, solid waste management,\nwater quality, and water rights.\nTo assist the board in the area of water rights, a special 3-man\nwater rights council would be established. A member of the state\nboard with experience in water rights would serve as chairman.\nThe other two members would be an attorney and an engineer,\nboth with experience in water rights. The state board could\ndelegate any part of its water rights powers to the council,\nand council decisions would need approval by the state board.\nThe regional water quality control boards would be renamed\nregional environmental protection boards. They would continue\nto exercise their present water quality responsibilities with\nstaff services performed by the staff of the state board. Field\nwork for other responsibilities of the state board would be\nperformed directly by the staff of the state board.\nThe board would go into operation on July 1, 1973, but the\nexecutive director would be appointed on March 1, 1973, to prepare\nfor the reorganization and transfer of functions.\nFrom Governor Reagan's Office\nJune 15, 1972\nMEMO TO PRESS\nfrom Governor's Office\n6-14-72\nTEXT OF\nPRESS BRIEFING BY JERRY WARREN, DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY\nTO PRESIDENT NIXON.\n12:12 p.m. (PDT) to White House Newsmen\nJune 14, 1972\nWe are announcing today that Governor Ronald Reagan of California\nwill serve as a special representative of the President on a three-week\ntrip to several European countries beginning July 2. This trip will\nunderline the importance the administration attaches to our ties with\nEurope, to our NATO commitment and to mutually beneficial relations\nwith the enlarged European community.\nHe will visit several major West European capitals to call on\nNATO and European leaders and will deliver messages from the President.\nI don't have a detailed itinerary for you at this point. We will later\nHe will visit Denmark, Belgium, France, Italy, Ireland and the\nUnited Kingdom. While in Denmark Governor Reagan will attend the\nRebild Festival.

The President,\nas you will recall, was the principal speaker on July 4, 1971.\nEarlier this year, on May 2, a group of members of the Rebild\nSociety of Denmark met with the President and presented him, at that\ntime, with a gold medallion commemorating the organization's 60th\nanniversary. The medallion was one of two in existence. The other\nwill be presented to the Queen of Denmark on this July 4 by the\nRebild Society.\n- 2 -\nQ. What sort of messages is he delivering for the President?\nA. I don't have any details but he will have messages to each\nof the leaders. As you will recall Governor Reagan made a trip\nto Asia last October and was the President's special representative\nat the Double-Ten ceremony in Taiwan on October 10 of last year.\nFollowing that trip the President and the Governor had discussed\nthe possibility of the Governor going to Europe and this timing\nworked out because of the Rebild Society function on July 4 and\nbecause it was decided that a trip to Europe at this time would\nbe useful in light of the President's effort to maintain close\ncontact and consultation with our European allies.\nQ. Will there be anything done about trade?\nA. He will be talking about the President's thinking and this\nadministration's position on international issues and also will be\nlistening to the views of our allies.

I reduce\nthis item from $8,133,000 to $6,100,000 by reducing\nparagraph (a) faculty and faculty-related positions\nfrom $4,438,000 to $2,600,000 and paragraph (b) non-\nfaculty positions from $3,695,000 to $3,500,000.\n(Reduction: $2,033,000)\nI am reducing this item to the amount I recommended in\nMay. Together with other salary increase funds, the\namounts made available will cover over half of existing\nsalary inequities. Plans to meet remaining inequities\nare scheduled next year (1973-74). I am approving\nthis item as reduced, with the understanding that\nincrease in compensation provided by increased salary\nranges for positions established for the 1972-73\nfiscal year shall not result in total annual salary\nincreases, including staff benefits, of more than\n$6,100,000.\nItem 82\nFor support of augmentation for salary increase -\nCalifornia State Universities and Colleges. I reduce\nthis item from $35,445,000 to $21,836,000 by reducing\nparagraph (a) for increases in compensation for in-\nstructional and instructional-related positions from\n$26,918,000 to $16,151,000, and I reduce the proposed\nacross-the-board salary increase specified therein for\nthese employees from 12½¹₂ percent to 7½ percent and\nparagraph (b) for increases in compensation for non-\ninstructional positions from $8,527,000 to $5,685,000, and I reduce the\nproposed across-the-board salary increase specified therein for these\npositions from 7½ percent to 5 percent. (Reduction: $13,609,000)\nThis action provides the increases for State University and College ncrease\nemployees as originally requested. The academic and non-academic /funds\nin this item, together with the inequity funds which I recommended, will\ncover a substantial portion of salary inequities. Additional efforts\nto correct remaining salary inequities are planned for 1973-74.\n-2-\n#370\nItem 82.1\nFor support of Augmentation for Salary Increases -\nCalifornia State Universities & Colleges -- Inequity\nFunds. I reduce this item from $8,226,000 to $5,600,000\nby reducing paragraph (a) instructional and instruc-\ntional-related positions from $5,384,000 to $3,100,000\nand paragraph (b) non-instructional positions from\n$2,842,000 to $2,500,000. (Reduction: $2,626,000)\nI am reducing this item to the amount I recommended\nin May. Together with other salary increase funds the\namounts being provided will cover over half of exist-\ning salary inequities. We plan to continue our efforts\nto correct remaining salary inequities next year\n(1973-74). I am approving this item, as reduced, with\nthe understanding that increase in compensation pro-\nvided by increased salary ranges for positions estab-\nlished for the 1972-73 fiscal year shall not result in\ntotal annual salary increases including staff benefits,\nof more than $5,600,000.\n-2a-\n#370\nItem 86\nFor claim of the Secretary of the State Board of Control.\nI reduce this item from $156,695 to $134,031 by reducing\nparagraph (k) Water Resources Revolving Fund from $6,857\nto $2,193 and paragraph (1) Health Care Deposit Fund from\n$19,864 to $1,864. (Reduction: $22,664)\nThe two claims involved in category (k) and the single claim\nunder category (1) received a full hearing by the State\nBoard of Control as provided for in their procedures.\nAfter its review, the board declined to recommend approval.\nNo new information has been presented that would suggest\nreversal of the board's decision and therefore by this\naction, their decision is sustained.\nItem 145\nFor support of State Personnel Board. I reduce this item\nfrom $9,023,636 to $8,123,636 by reducing paragraph (c)\nfor implementation of Division 4 of the Unemployment Insur-\nance Code from $3,757,000 to $2,857,000. (Reduction:\n$900,000)\nThe needs of this program can be adequately maintained at\nthis funding level with utilization of federal funding.\nItem 194\nFor support of State Lands Division. I reduce this item\nfrom $1,674,000 to $1,568,000 by reducing paragraph (a)\npersonal services from $2,265,205 to $2,186,058 and para-\ngraph (b) operating expenses and equipment from $504,436\nto $477,583. (Reduction: $106,000)\nI am approving this item at the level originally proposed\nin the budget which provides sufficient resources for the\ndivision to meet its responsibilities.\nItem 206.1 For loan to the City of Avalon, Department of Navigation and\nOcean Development. I eliminate this item. (Eliminated:\n$350,000)\nThis item is eliminated on the basis that the Department of\nNavigation and Ocean Development should retain the respons-\nibility for approving loans based on economic and engineer-\ning feasibility.\nItem 217\nFor expenditures by the Department of Water Resources for\nstate's share of flood control projects. I reduce this item\nfrom $7,500,000 to $4,000,000. (Reduction: $3,500,000)\nThe legislative augmentation of $3,500,000 should be pro-\nvided by SB 993 (Lagomarsino) which contains a comprehensive\nproposal for state and local cost sharing for flood control.\nItem 220\nFor support of Department of Corrections. I reduce this\nitem from $112,503,781 to $111,903,781 by reducing paragraph\n(b) II. institutional program $91,229,830 to $90,629,830.\nI am also deleting the following language from Item 220 re-\nlating to the reductions made in the appropriation itself:\n\"Provided further, that of the amount appropriated in this\nitem $100,000 shall be used for the sole purpose of convert-\ning 300 positions from the classification correctional\nofficer to the classification correctional program supervisor\nand that $50,000 of this appropriation shall be used for the\nsole purpose of the development of a centralized recruiting\nprogram to aid in locating and employing better qualified\npersonnel. I am also reducing the $450,000 for a cen-\ntralized training program to $100,000. (Reduction:\n$600,000)\nI am reducing* the augmentation for training ($350,000) pending funding\nof the department under a grant by the California Council on Criminal\nJustice for a centralized training program in conjunction with the\nYouth Authority. I am eliminating the augmentation for correctional\nprogram supervisor reclassifications ($100,000) because it has not been\ndemonstrated that expansion of the existing program will enhance exist-\ning rehabilitative efforts. I am eliminating the augmentation for cen-\ntralized recruiting ($50,000) because the Personnel Board has funds in\nits existing program to meet the recruiting needs of the department.\n#370\nItem 220.2 For support of Department of Corrections, Inmate Welfare\nFund. I eliminate this item. (Eliminated: $250,000)\nI am eliminating this item because the present method of\nproviding recreational equipment and supplies is both\nadequate and satisfactory.\nItem 220.5 For support of Department of Corrections. I eliminate this\nitem. (Eliminated $39,000)\nI am eliminating this item because the existing inmate self-\nhelp program is being accomplished through voluntary efforts\nat the present time and can be continued on this basis.\nItem 224\nFor support of Department of the Youth Authority. I reduce\nthis item from $52,633,215 to $52,378,215 by reducing para-\ngraph (b) II. rehabilitative services $50,004,679 to\n$49,749,679. I am also deleting the following language\nfrom Item 224 relating to the reductions made in the\nappropriation itself:\n\"Provided, that $30,000 of the amount appropriated by this\nitem shall be used for the sole purpose of development of\na centralized recruiting program to aid in locating and\nemploying better qualified personnel. I am also reducing\nthe $225,000 for a centralized training program to $50,000.\n(Reduction: $255,000)\nI am eliminating the augmentation for centralized recruiting\n($30,000) because the State Personnel Board has funds in\nits existing program to meet the recruiting needs of the\ndepartment. I am reducing the augmentation for training\n($175,000) pending funding of the department under a grant\nby the California Council of Criminal Justice for a central-\nized training program in conjunction with the Department\nof Corrections.\nItem 233\nFor transfer to the Health Care Deposit Fund to provide for\nMedical Assistance Program expenditures. I reduce this item\nfrom $664,517,36 to $606,317,587 and eliminate the follow-\ning language and schedule:\n\"Provided, further, that of the amounts appropriated by\nthis item, $25,580,702 shall be expended, for the 1972-73\nfiscal year only, in addition to all other amounts required\nby law, pursuant to the following schedule for relief of\nthe counties for costs incurred in the implementation of\nChapter 577 of the Statutes of 1971.

The present\ncost sharing as set forth in the statutes is equitable.\nI am recommending the passage of AB 1282, (Arnett)\nwhich will provide some administrative relief to the\ncounties through simplified billing procedures for\nreimbursement for Medi-Cal service rendered through\ncounty hospitals. In addition I have reduced the\nfunds for caseload expenditures in recognition of\nrevised estimates by $32,619,076.\n-4a-\n#370\nItem 234\nFor support of Department of Human Resources Develop-\nment. I reduce this item from $9,424,374 to\n$8,163,874. (Reduction: $1,260,500)\nA modification in federal law has changed the state\nmatching requirements. The original appropriation\nwill be enough to match all available federal money\nto properly fund the Work Incentive Program under the\nnew (9-1) sharing ratio.\nItem 241\nFor support of Department of Mental Hygiene. I reduce\nthis item from $6,910,096 to $6,878,096 by reducing\nparagraph (b) operating expenses and equipment from\n$1,715,701 to $1,683,701. I have also deleted the\nfollowing language from Item 241 which provides funds\nspecifically for staff and related expenses of the\nCitizens Advisory Council:\n\"Provided that, of this amount, $32,000 shall be made\navailable to the Citizens Advisory Council solely for\nthe purpose of providing independent staffing and\nexpenses related thereof.\" (Reduction: $32,000)\nThe Citizens Advisory Council provides advice and\nassistance to the director of Mental Hygiene. The\ndepartment can provide staff as needed to support the\nwork of the council.\nItem 241.1\nFor support of Department of Mental Hygiene. I elimin-\nate this item. (Eliminated: $409,000)\nI have eliminated this item because the 1972-73 budget,\nas originally submitted, contains sufficient funds to\nmaintain Mendocino State Hospital pending final\ndisposition.\nItem 246\nFor support of Department of Public Health. I reduce\nthis item from $12,197,502 to $11,697,502 by reducing\nparagraph (b) operating expenses and equipment from\n$6,647,845 to $6,147,845. (Reduction: $500,000)\nI have eliminated additional funds for comprehensive\nhealth planning pending evaluation of efforts made to\ndate by regional and local area comprehensive health\nplanning agencies.\nItem 246.1\nFor support of Department of Public Health. I elimin-\nate this item. (Eliminated: $300,000)\nI am eliminating this augmentation of $300,000 on the\nbasis that $600,000 remains available in 1972-73 for\nfamily planning from prior appropriations which will\npermit the orderly growth of this program while it\nis further evaluated.\nItem 257.1\nFor Local Assistance, Department of Social Welfare -\nUnmet Shelter Needs. I reduce this item from\n$3,000,000 to $1,500,000. (Reduction: -$1,500,000)\nThe 1971 Welfare Reform Act achieved a balance of\nvarious public assistance programs funded by the state\nand county governments. As a part of that balance it\nwas agreed that the state would assume certain costs\npreviously borne by counties, such as the costs of the\nOld Age Security and Aid to the Blind programs. It\nwas also agreed that counties would assume full respons-\nibility for some functions. Specifically, the Welfare\nReform Act provided that counties provide special needs\nto AFDC welfare recipients in accordance with priorities\ndetermined at the county level. The reduction to\nItem 257.1 represents that portion which relates to\nthe AFDC program. The remaining $1,500,000 shall be\nallocated to the adult aid programs, which remain the\nfiscal responsibility of the state.\n-5-\n#370\nItem 261\nFor support of Department of Education. I reduce this\nitem from $6,172,638 to $5,980,938 by reducing para-\ngraph (a) personal services from $15,156,501 to\n$15,121,701 and paragraph (b) operating expenses and\nequipment from $8,711,545 to $8,679,645, and elimin-\nating paragraph (f). (Reduction: $191,700)\nI have reduced this item by eliminating the legisla-\ntive augmentations in the amount of $66,700 which were\nprovided for additional staffing and related expenses.\nConsideration of proposed increases should be deferred\nuntil after the Superintendent of Public Instruction\nhas completed the presently planned reorganization of\nthe department. I have eliminated the $125,000 legis-\nlative augmentation for the new careers program because\nthere is insufficient information available as yet to\njustify the proposed expansion of this relatively new\nprogram.\nItem 264\nFor support of Special Schools, Department of Education.\nI reduce this item from $9,963,325 to $9,263,325 by\neliminating paragraph (f). (Reduction: $700,000)\nI have reduced this item by eliminating the additional\nfunds for a new school at Mendocino State Hospital\nbecause a study currently is being made of the existing\nfacilities at Berkeley. In the proposal to transfer\nfrom Berkeley to new facilities, all aspects of the\nprogram should be considered on a long-range basis,\nand should be based upon a plan recommended by the\nSuperintendent of Public Instruction. The results of\nthe study now being conducted may reveal other exist-\ning facilities or possible arrangements that would\nprove superior from a program viewpoint. I believe\nthe matter must be thoroughly examined and alternatives\nconsidered in view of the significance of establishing\nnew facilities.\nItem 268.1\nFor support of transfer by the State Controller from\nthe General Fund to the State Schools Fund for addi-\ntional supplemental support. I reduce this item\n$8,000,000. (Reduction: $8,000,000)\nI am reducing this item by $8 million. The remaining\n$24 million augmentation for supplemental support\nwhich I am approving is sufficient to fully fund the\napportionment formulas in the item.\nItem 269\nFor Public School Support, Department of Education.\nI eliminate this item. (Eliminated $65,000,000)\nI have eliminated this item because I am approving in\nItems 268 and 268.1 the expenditure of $190 million\nappropriated by the legislature for enhancement of\neducation at the local level. The remaining $73 million\n($65 million in Item 269 and $8 million of Item 268.1)\nappropriated to local schools in this Act is not pri-\nmarily directed toward the relief of low wealth school\ndistricts in accordance with the guidelines of the\nSerrano decision. There is ample time for the legis-\nlature to enact a combination tax reform and school\nfinance bill at this session and I have proposed one\nsuch solution. The $73 million will remain in surplus\navailable to local schools at such time as the legis-\nlature places on my desk a bill conforming to the\ngeneral principles of the Serrano case. Should the\nlegislature adjourn this session without enacting such\nlegislation, I am ordering that the Department of\nFinance clearly set forth in the budget documents an\nearmarked surplus of $73 million as part of the money\nto be available for low wealth school districts when-\never the legislature completes work on comprehensive\nschool tax financing reform.\n-6-\n#370\nItem 271\nFor support of Compensatory Education Program, Depart-\nment of Education. I reduce this item from $11,000,000\nto $10,518,000. (Reduction: $482,000)\nI have reduced this item by eliminating the unallocated\nfunds for expansion of the Professional Development\nCenters. I have approved augmentations in the amount\nof $60,000 for the project related to the University\nof California at Santa Cruz and $100,000 for project\nLINKAGE related to the University of California at\nLos Angeles and $108,000 for the project related to the\nPasadena Unified School District, thereby funding all\nprojects specified by the legislature. The Professional\nDevelopment Centers program has not had sufficient\nproven results to warrant expansion beyond that being\nauthorized.\nItem 272.1\nFor support of the Abstract Conceptually-Oriented\nMathematics Program Act, Department of Education. I\nreduce this item from $1,000,000 to $500,000.\n(Reduction: $500,000)\nI have reduced this item because the funds remaining\nare sufficient to support demonstration programs which\nwill permit a proper evaluation of this instructional\nmethod. AB 1644 (Russell) now being considered by the\nlegislature will provide for a complete evaluation of\nthis program.\nItem 273\nFor support of Children's Centers, Department of\nEducation. I reduce this item from $21,892,700 to\n$21,742,700 by reducing paragraph (a) children's\ncenters from $28,522,988 to $28,372,988. (Reduction:\n$150,000)\nI have reduced this item by eliminating funds for\nadministrative costs related to establishment of centers\nat OF near campuses of institutions of higher learning.\nThe department assured me at the time legislative auth-\norization for such centers was enacted that there would\nbe no additional state costs.\nItem 273.1\nFor support of Department of Education. I eliminate\nthis item. (Eliminated: $3,000,000)\nItem 273.1 appropriates $3,000,000 to the Department\nof Education for county child care and child care train-\ning programs. These funds were originally budgeted to\nthe Department of Social Welfare. Item 273.1 is\neliminated in the belief that the department of Social\nWelfare is the appropriate agency to administer this\nprogram, particularly since the Department has long\nstanding channels of communication and supervision\nestablished with county welfare departments. It would\nbe necessary for Education to establish a parallel\nadministrative structure if this program were\ntransferred. In order to restore these funds to the\nchild care program, I am requesting legislation to add\nthe necessary appropriation.\nItem 276\nFor support of Assistance to Public Libraries, Division\nof Libraries, Department of Education. I reduce this\nitem from $1,346,000 to $800,000. (Reduction: $546,000)\nI have reduced this item to the current level of fund-\ning.\nItem 277.1\nFor vocational education, Summer Work Program, Depart-\nment of Education. I eliminate this item. (Eliminated:\n$100,000)\nI have eliminated this program because it is essentially\nan employment program that can more properly and\neffectively be satisfied through existing manpower\nprograms.\n-7-\n#370\nItem 280\nFor support of Project SHARE, Department of Education.\nI eliminate this item. (Eliminated: $550,000)\nI have eliminated this item since it previously has\nbeen funded from the Miller-Unruh appropriation and it\nshould continue to be financed from that resource.\nAB 612 (Vasconcellos) now before the legislature can\nbe used to direct Miller-Unruh funds for SHARE.\nItem 283\nFor support of University of California. I reduce this\nitem from $357,636,442 to $354,289,029. (Reduction:\n$3,347,413)\nThe Regents of the University of California have pro-\nvided for an appropriate and vigorous educational oppor-\ntunity program from total funds available to the\nRegents; therefore, it is not necessary to augment this\nprogram from the General Fund at this time. Despite\nthe fact enrollments are failing to come up to budget\nlevels, I nevertheless have not only maintained the\nsame support for the University I proposed in January--\nwhich was predicated on higher projected enrollments--\nbut I have retained legislative augmentations in the\namount of $1.7 million for research in mosquito control\nand university unemployment benefits. The funds pro-\nvided by the state to the University in 1972-73 are\nbeing increased by $18.2 million over the current year's\nsupport level, plus $27 million for salary increases.\nThe administration has allocated sufficient funds for\nthe operation of the University. The legislature\naddressed the budget item by item. The Regents have\nauthority to redirect funds to specific needs and\neconomies of operations together with prospective en-\nrollment reductions which appear to be sufficient to\nmeet specific needs.\nItem 283.1\nFor support of University of California. I eliminate\nthis item. (Eliminated: $5,958,000)\nI am opposed to the elimination of tuition. It is a\nnecessity for financing of higher education. The\nRegents of the University of California have themselves\nimplemented a tuition program. It exists and it is\nincreasing in importance at every major university in\nthe United States.\nItem 283.2\nFor support of a Department of Demography, University\nof California, Berkeley campus. I eliminate this item.\n(Eliminated: $75,000)\nThis item is being eliminated at the request of the\nUniversity.\nItem 283.3\nFor support of the Institute of Traffic and Transporta-\ntion Engineering, University of California. I reduce\nthis item from $551,362 to $460,871 by reducing para-\ngraph (b) from $90,491 to zero. (Reduction: $90,491)\nThe program at the UCLA campus is being reduced at the\nrequest of the University.\nItem 290\nFor support of Hastings College of Law. I reduce this\nitem from $1,586,826 to $1,554,426 by reducing paragraph\n(b) operating expenses and equipment from $770,371 to\n$737,971. (Reduction: $32,400)\nAn augmentation I am approving will provide state and\nfederal funds for the National Defense Student Loan\nProgram and thereby assist the financial aids effort.\n-8-\n#370\nItem 290.1\nFor support of Hastings College of Law. I eliminate\nthis item. (Eliminated: $278,100)\nThe Coordinating Council on Higher Education has\nadvised me that there is insufficient evidence to\nsupport the need for an additional law school in the\nstate of California. Therefore, I am eliminating this\nitem for this year.\nItem 290.2\nFor support of Hastings College of Law. I eliminate\nthis item. (Eliminated: $378,000)\nI am opposed to the elimination of tuition. It exists\nand it is increasing in importance at every major\nuniversity in the United States.\nItem 291\nFor support of Trustees of the California State Col-\nleges and the California State Colleges. I reduce this\nitem from $343,442,373 to $342,870,597 by reducing\nparagraph (a) personal services from $350,659,350 to\n$350,192,340 and paragraph (b) operating expenses and\nequipment from $80,352,604 to $80,347,838 and paragraph\n(c). Reimbursements from $-87,569,581 to $-87,669,581.\nI am also reducing the $313,849 for the educational\ntelevision station at San Diego to $213,849. (Reduction: $571,776).\nI reduce this item for the following reasons:\nSan Diego Educational Television\n$100,000\nThe $200,000 which already has been budgeted for the\nstation is adequate to reimburse its operations for\ninstructional programs on the campus.\nPlanning funds for year-round operation\n50,000\nSubstantial amounts of funds have been spent in pre-\nvious years at San Francisco State and the current\nbudget already contains some funds for this purpose.\nState Health Benefits increase from $12 to $14\n421,776\nFunds for this purpose are to be provided from\nexisting resources.\nItem 292\nFor support of Trustees of the California State Col-\nleges and the California State Colleges. I reduce\nthis item from $5,909,602 to $4,733,922 by reducing\nparagraph (a) from $3,331,680 to $2,156,000.\n(Reduction: $1,175,680)\nThis action retains an augmentation of $2,156,000 for\neducational opportunity program grants, including\n3,500 first-year students at $440 each and 2,800 second-\nyear students at $220 per student. The state-supported\nprogram for educationally disadvantaged students in the\nCalifornia State Colleges is thereby increased over\n100 percent with the grant portion reflecting a five-\nfold increase by this action.\nItem 296\nFor support of community college extended opportunity\nprograms, Board of Governors of the California Com-\nmunity Colleges. I reduce this item from $6,600,000\nto $4,850,000. (Reduction: $1,750,000)\nThis action will provide an increase of nearly 50 per-\ncent in this program over the current year.

I reduce this item from\n$30,422,705 to $29,447,194 by reducing paragraph (a)\nCompetitive Scholarship Program from $24,401,816\nto $23,426,305. (Reduction: $975,511)\nThe legislative augmentation is being reduced by\n$975, 511 because we have been informed by the State\nScholarship and Loan Commission that actual scholar-\nship need is now projected at $962 per award winner.\nItem 300.4\nFor capital outlay, Department of General Services,\nfor working drawings, a state office building, San\nJose. I eliminate this item. (Eliminated:\n$300,000)\nInformation provided by the Department of General\nServices shows that a state constructed building in\nSan Jose cannot be economically justified at this\ntime.\nItem 308.1\nFor capital outlay, University of California. I\neliminate this item. (Eliminated: $20,640,670)\nI am opposed to the elimination of tuition. It is a\nnecessity for financing higher education. The Regents\nof the University of California have themselves im-\nplemented a tuition program. The importance of\ntuition is increasing at every major university in\nthe United States.\nItem 308.6\nFor capital outlay, University of California. I\nreduce this item from $8,500,000 to $7,900,000 by\nreducing paragraph (a) from $8,500,000 to $7,900,000.\n(Reduction: $ -600,000)\nThe current appraisal by the Department of General\nServices indicates that the funds retained in this\nitem will provide Sacramento County fair market\nvalue for the land, improvements, equipment and\nsupplies to be transferred to the University of\nCalifornia.\nItem 318.2\nFor capital outlay, Department of Parks and Recrea-\ntion. I reduce this item from $9,153,900 to\n$7,053,900 by eliminating paragraphs (a-8) Refugio\nState Beach acquisition $1,900,000 and (b-1) San\nDiego Museum development $200,000. (Reduction:\n$2,100,000)\nThe Refugio acquisition is not included in depart-\nmental priority lists. Consequently there is no\npresent program to justify the purchase of this\nproperty. The San Diego Museum funding is contained\nin legislation I recently signed and is therefore not\nrequired in this act.\nItem 318.5\nFor capital outlay, Department of Fish and Game Salmon\nand Steelhead Study. I eliminate this item.\n(Eliminated: $10,000)\nThis study is not appropriately a capital outlay\nitem and if needed, should be accomplished within\nthe Department of Fish and Game support budget.\nSection 10.4\nFor reappropriation of funds for Children's Centers\nand family and child development. I eliminate this\nsection and delete the following language:\n\"Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, Item\n274 (a) and Item 259(b), Budget Act of 1971 are re-\nappropriated for the same purposes to the Department\nof Education and Department of Social Welfare, respectively, and shall\nbe available until June 30, 1973.\"\nI have eliminated this reappropriation of funds because the 1972-73\nbudget provides adequate funds for the program and it is more effective\nmanagement to maintain the program on an annual funding basis.\n-10-\n#370\nSection 10.7\nFor support of Department of Social Welfare. I\neliminate this section and delete the following\nlanguage:\n\"The unexpended balance of funds appropriated to the\nDepartment of Social Welfare by Chapter 578, Statutes\nof 1971, Section 39.7(b), is hereby reappropriated\nto the Department of Education for the cost of child\ncare services and child care training programs pursuant\nto the provisions of Sections 10811 and 19811.5,\nWelfare and Institutions Code, provided, that the\nDepartment of Finance may, by executive order, transfer\nfunds in augmentation of the amount scheduled in sub-\ndivision (h) of Item 258 for purposes of meeting the\nstate matching fund requirements for child care\nservices provided for under Public Law 90-248.\"\nAction on this section is taken in conjunction with my\nreduction to Item 273.1. County child care programs\nshould continue to be under the jurisdiction of the\nDepartment of Social Welfare since that department is\npresently equipped to maintain the day-to-day county\nsupervision that is necessary. Section 10.7 would\nhave transferred the funds to the Department of\nEducation. Elimination of Item 10.7 will ensure that\nunexpended child care funds will continue to be avail-\nable in 1972-73 to Social Welfare for child care\nprograms.\nSection 19.6\nFor early announcement of awards and grants by the\nScholarship and Loan Commission. I reduce the amounts\nreflected in this section by a total of $1,750,899\nby reducing the amount for scholarship awards, para-\ngraph (a), from $29,000,000 to $27,850,862 and the\namount for graduate fellowship awards, paragraph (b),\nfrom $1,560,000 to $958,239. (Reduction: $1,750,899)\nI have reduced amounts in this section in conformity\nwith action taken on Item 298 and also to maintain the\ngraduate fellowship program funding at approximately\n$1,000,000.\n# # #\n-11-\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nsacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-22-72\n#371\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills have been\nsigned.\nAB 184 - Powers\nExempts from property taxation real property owned\nChapter 151\nand used by veterans organizations for charitable\npurposes.\nAB 1316 - Seeley\nRequires information on the certificates issued by\nChapter 155\npublic weighmasters in the case of vehicles\ntransporting baled hay to include the gross weight\nat both the initial weighing and the reweighing of th\nvehicle and load after corrections, if any, are made\nin the load, and to include the full name and address\nof the seller and of either the purchaser or the\nbroker of the hay as obtained from the driver of the\nvehicle.\nSB 203 - Coombs\nDeletes the requirement that the form of the school\nChapter 145\ndistrict governing board ballot state that it is the\nofficial ballot provided by the county superintendent\nof schools.\nSB 220 - Teale\nReduces from $294,000,000, to $155,900,000, the total\nChapter 152\namount of bonds authorized to be issued, conditioned\nupon voter approval, pursuant to the Health Science\nFacilities Construction Program Bond Act of 1971,\nand provides for the submission of a second bond issue\nin 1976 in a total amount not to exceed $138,100,000\nfor such purposes.\nSB 230 - Deukmejian\nDeletes from the freeway and expressway system that\nChapter 150\nportion of Route 1 from Route 22 to Route 47 and\nthat portion of Route 22 from Route 1 near Long Beach\nto Studebaker Road in Long Beach.\nSB 260 - Cusanovich\nDeletes the Education Code provision authorizing a\nChapter 153\nschool district governing board to require that a\ncertificated employee have served a specified perio\nof time before the industrial accident and illness\nleaves of absence benefits are made available.\nSB 373 - Way\nProvides that support payments collected from the\nChapter 146\nabsent parent of a child receiving Aid to Families\nWith Dependent Children, may as an alternative, be\ntransmitted to the child's family, to be used for the\nchild's support, rather than to the county department\nproviding aid.\nSB 526 - Marler\nAmends provisions of the Milk Stabilization Law\nChapter 147\nrelating to determination of retail store costs and\nwholesale quantity discounts. It provides that the\ncost of milk to retail stores shall include \"any\nquantity discounts.\" Further, with respect to retail\nstore costs to be considered in store prices for fluic\nmilk, the law is changed to cover costs of all\n\"reasonably efficient\" retail stores rather than\nrepresentatives of \"all stores.\" The bill also\nbroadens the discretion of the Director of Agriculture\nto establish \"particular\" quantity discounts which\nare higher or lower than those sufficient to cover\ndistributor costs.\nSB 762 - Alquist\nAuthorizes the Director of General Services to let,\nChapter 154\nnot to exceed 50 years, property at Agnews State\nHospital to a nonprofit corporation for purposes of\nconducting an educational and work program for mental]\nretarded persons.\n-1-\n#371\nSB 1053 - Wedworth\nDeletes the provision which requires express\nChapter 117\nauthorization of the Legislature before the balance\nof funds of a discontinued district retirement plan\ncan be expended and provides for the establishment of\nan annuity reserve fund to provide a supplementary\nannuity for specified members of a local school\ndistrict retirement system.\nSB 1216 - Burgener\nAuthorizes the initiation of proceedings for over-\nChapter 148\nhead electric and communication facilities conversion\nto underground locations pursuant to the Improvement\nAct of 1911 upon a determination by the local\nlegislative body that the local government or a public\nutility has voluntarily agreed to pay over 50 percent\nof all costs of conversion excluding costs of users'\nconnections to underground electric or communication\nfacilities.\nSB 1485 - Short\nDeletes the requirement that transportation of pupils,\nChapter 149\ninstructors, and other personnel to outdoor science\nand conservation programs cannot be in excess of a\nradius of 180 miles from the school or schools of the\ndistrict.\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today also announced the following bill\nhas been vetoed.\nSB 42 - Dills\nRestores the responsible relatives' contribution scale\nin the Old Age Security Program to pre-Welfare Reform\nAct of 1971 levels.\nREASON FOR VETO: \"One of the fundamental goals of our welfare reform\nprogram was to strengthen the role of the family as\nthe basic unit of our society. Much of the\naccelerating increase in reliance on public assistance\nin our society has been a direct result of the\ndisintegration of the family unit. One of the\nfoundations of our American way of life is that family\nmembers accept moral and financial responsibility for\neach other before turning to government for help.\nBased on this principle, children with adequate incomes\nare expected to reasonably contribute to the support\nof their aged parents. Surely it would be unfair to\nexpect all the taxpayers to foot the entire bill where\nthere are children who are both financially responsible\nand able to help. Nevertheless, after the Legislature\npassed the 1971 Welfare Reform Act which established\na revised payment scale for responsible relatives,\nit was found that the levels of liability in the new\nscale imposed hardships on some adult children. As\na result, the Director of Social Welfare, through\nadministrative action, initiated a reduction of the\nscale. The tremendous success of our welfare reforms\nhave provided the funds necessary to offset the revenue\nlosses which a reduction in the scale otherwise\nwould have caused. In addition, the counties have\nbeen instructed to further reduce the liability on\nadult children in hardship cases. These adjustments\nwill provide an effective means of alleviating\nfinancial hardship on contributing relatives. In\nview of the steps which the Director of Social Welfare\nhas taken to resolve the problem, I do not believe\nSenate Bill 42 is necessary, nor would it provide\na sound fiscal basis for operating the OAS assistance\nprogram. Accordingly, I am returning the bill\nunsigned.\"\n# # # #\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-22-72\n#372\nGovernor Ronald Reagan said today that he will approve a budget\naugmentation of the State Department of Commerce totalling $536,104\nfor development of programs to attract new environmentally-balanced\nindustries, promote tourism and California products internationally and\nencourage foreign and domestic investments in the state's business and\nindustry.\n\"This is a small investment that can yield a massive return to the\neconomy of this state,\" the governor said. \"The Department of Commerce\nwill serve as a catalyst for programs that will provide jobs for\nCalifornians, encourage small and medium sized firms to find a world\nmarket for their products and encourage both domestic and international\ninvestments in our businesses and industries.\"\n#######\nStrobel\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-22-72\nGovernor Reagan is expected to announce his\naction on the 1972-73 state budget late this\nafternoon in the Governor's Office.\nWe will advise you as early as possible as\nto the specific time.\n# # #\nGray\nOFFICE OF GOV RMOR RONALD REAGAN\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-22-72\nGovernor Ronald Reagan will announce his action on the\n1972-1973 state budget at 5:30 this afternoon in the council room\nin the Governor's office.\n####\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE:\nImmediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-22-72\n#373\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of two\nNewport Beach attorneys to Orange County Municipal Courts.\nBlair T.

In this\nway the taxpayer is better able to fix responsibility for the manner in\nwhich his tax dollars are expended.\n\"The state operations budget amounts to only $2.2 billion dollars,\nor less than a third of the overall budget. The total cost of operating\nour state departments and agencies takes about seven cents out of the\ntotal tax dollar.\n\"From these two budgets, I have today blue-pencilled more than a\nquarter billion dollars. I hope your headline writers will note that\nCalifornia- the largest state in population-- is still fourth in total\nbudgets behind the federal government, New York City and New York State.\n\"Nevertheless, I am convinced the budget I am signing today, will\nadequately meet the needs of the people of California in the coming\nyear. And, if the legislature passes the tax reform measure I have\nproposed, we will be able to provide the substantial and lasting\nproperty tax relief which the taxpayers have sought for so long.\n\"This budget provides $190 million in additional funds to enhance\neducation at the local level. An additional $73 million appropriated\nto local schools by the legislature not directed primarily toward the\nrelief of low-wealth school districts, will be held in reserve until\nschool financing reform legislation is enacted to meet the plight of\nour low-wealth school districts. I hope the legislature will give this\nmatter the top priority attention it deserves.\n\"Here are some other major highlights of the budget I am signing.\n\"Despite the projections of declining enrollments at the University\nof California and in the State University and Colleges we are providing\nan additional $100 million in state support, including $54 million in\nsalary increases, during the coming year. We also are making available\nsome $11.4 million in state student aid and loan funds (including EOP)\nfor economically and educationally deprived students in our public and\nprivate institutions of higher education an 88 percent increase over\nthe current year.\n-1-\n#374\nDuring the three years before our welfare and Medi-Cal reforms\nbegan to take hold, the cost of welfare and Medi-Cal was skyrocketing\nan average of 24 percent a year, and threatening to bankrupt the state.\nBecause of our reforms, we will be able to operate these programs at\nroughly only a third of that rate of increase during the coming year\nat a savings in state funds alone of literally hundreds of millions of\ndollars. We submitted the budget in January reflecting these additional savings\nand now find we can further reduce the welfare load by $18 million.\n\"In line with our commitment to treat the mentally ill close to\nhome, we are increasing state support for mental health programs next\nyear by $40 million, most of which is for treatment programs operated\nand administered by the counties.\n\"Because of the stringent economies which had to be made last\nyear due to the severe downturn in the economy, we were not able to\nprovide salary increases for state employees. Now, the picture has\nbrightened sufficiently so that we will be able to provide all state\nworkers, including university and state college employees, substantial\nsalary increase including inequity adjustments to bring their\nsalaries more closely into line with comparable jobs in the public and\nprivate sectors.\n\"While all our departments have continued to improve efficiency,\nI have to say this budget would not have been possible without the\nreforms which have been made in Medi-Cal and welfare. Our projections\nshow that without the reforms, state costs alone for these programs\nwould have been at least $300 million higher during the coming year.\n\"Because we instituted these reforms, we can now look to the\nfuture with confidence.\"\n# # #\n-2-\nGray\nGOVERNOR APPROVED SALARY INCREASES (all funds)\n(in millions)\nUNIVERSITY\nFACULTY\nNON-PACULTY\nTOTAL\n(1) 7.5%\n$ 13.3\n$ 7.4\n$20.7\n(2) Inequity\n2.6\n3.5\n6,1\n$ 15.9\n$10.9\n$26.8\nNON-\nSTATE\nINSTRUC-\nINSTRUC-\nCOLLEGES\nTIONAL\nTIONAL\nTOTAL\n(1) 7.5%\n$ 16.2\n$ 5.7\n$21.9\n(2) Inequity\n1.1\n2.5\n5.6\n$ 19.3\n$ 8.2\n$27.5\nSTATUTORY (5%)\n0.1\nCIVIL SERVICE (5%)\n65.4\nCIVIL SERVICE - inequity (3.4%)\n45,0\nGRAND TOTAL\n$164.8\n6.22.72\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE:\nImmediate\nSacramento, Califor I 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n445-4571\n6-23-72\n#375\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today appointed Municipal Judge David\nMenary, Jr., of San Rafael to the Marin County Superior Court.\nJudge Menary, 45, a Republican, will receive an annual salary of\n$35,080.

Because such a crossing would do irreparable\nharm to the wilderness beauty and wildlife of the area---and because we\nsimply don't need another highway---we have vigorously opposed such a\ncrossing. Our position has been shared and supported by Inyo and Mono\ncounties and enviro cental organizations such as the Sierra Club.\n\"Frankly, portions of the Minarets and John Muir Wilderness areas,\nwhich flank us to the north and south, already are being used at a level\nwhich, if increased, can only do further harm to the wolverine, deer,\nbear, mountain lion and big horn sheep species which are becoming\nendangered and cannot tolerate any further human disturbance. Any\nadditional motorized access through this part of the southern Sierra will\nhave a major adverse impact on the fragile wilderness values we hold\nso dear.\n\"The U.S. Forest Service has proposed to spend $2.3 million to build\n2.7 miles of high-speed road to replace a portion of the present dirt\nroad to Devils Postpile Monument. We have taken strong issue with that\nproposal, not only because we believe it would be extravagant and\ncompletely unnecessary, but also because such a short segment would\nprovide only a negligible access advantage.\n\"Even worse, it would represent a foot in the door to those intent\non paving yet another road across the Sierras in defilement of the\nwilderness concept.\n\"During the past several months, we have stepped up our fight to\nkeep this from happening. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed.\n- 1 -\n#386\n\"Shortly before departing Sacramento today, I received a telegram\nfrom the White House detailing the President's complete support for our\nposition. He is announcing that the proposed reconstruction of a portion\nof the (2.7 mile) Minarets Highway will not be undertaken, and that the\nproposed trans-Sierra highway will not be built.\n\"The President also agrees with our recommendations that damage\nwould be done to the environment by the development of these roadways.\nHe says the environmental considerations and the need to preserve the\natmosphere and ecology of the Sierra region clearly override the other\nfactors that had been urged in supporting the construction proposals.\n\"President Nixon has handed us the victory we have sought for so\nlong. For this action, he deserves the thanks of every Californian.\n\"Finally, I am today proposing a permanent solution to this\nproblem--to close this corridor forever by merging the existing Minarets\nand John Muir Wilderness Areas into one. I am convinced that by such\naction we can prevent the creation of a high-speed trans-Sierra highway\nthrough this area for all time and preserve the vast, primitive beauty\nof this wilderness for generations of Californians yet to come.\"\n######\nStrobel\n- 2 -\nTELEGRAM\nPULL RATE OR\nThe White House\nSTRAIGHT TELEGRAM\nDAY LETTER\nWashington\nPage 1 of 2\nNIGHT LETTER\nGovernor Ronald Reagan,\nState Capitol\nSacramento, California\nI am very pleased to be able to send you the following Presidential\nstatement which can be released by you /in connection with your\nvisit to Minareta:\nQuote.

Will) has been\nquoted as saying that the declining welfare costs are responsible for a\nsubstantial portion of the reduction.\n\"And there is every evidence that what has occurred in Los Angeles\nCounty is happening throughout the state.\n\"It is for this reason that we can look forward to a savings of\nthree quarters of a billion dollars in welfare expenditures in the new\nfiscal year in California---tax money which otherwise would have had to\nbe spent had our welfare reforms not gone into effect.\"\n(See caseload figures attached)\n#######\nBACKGROUND INFORMATION:\nThe number of people on welfare in April was 2,148,232. In May it\nwas 2,132,420. The peak caseload of 2,293,906 occurred in March of 1971.\nPrior to Governor Reagan's welfare reforms, the caseload had been\nincreasing at nearly 40,000 a month.\nLos Angeles welfare rolls, which hovered around the million mark last\nyear, are expected to average about 100,000 less this fiscal year,\naccording to Robert B. Carleson, director, State Department of Social\nWelfare.\n- 1 -\n#389\nStatewide welfare payments were also down in May for the second\nmonth in a row. These totalled $189,358,206 for March, $170,517,178 for\nApril and $166,627,043 for May.\nCash grant recipients decreased from 2,093,224 in April to\n2,077,130 in May. The decrease resulted from a drop of 18,800 in Aid to\nFamilies with Dependent Children balanced against an increase of 2,700\nin the adult programs.\nRecipients in the AFDC family group category, where a mother is the\nhead of the household, decreased by 6,100. Those in households where\nthe father is unemployed decreased by 12,900. There was an increase of\n200 children in boarding homes and institutions.\nIn the adult programs, the caseload on Aid to the Blind rose by 200\nand those on Aid to the Disabled by 3,200.\n######\nWalthall\n- 2 -\nHuman Relations Agency\nManagement information Systems\nPUBLIC ASSISTANCE CASELOADS AND EXPENDITURES\nMay 1972\nRecipients\nPayments\nProgram\nMay\nApril\nMay\nMay\nApril\nMay\n1972\n1972\n1971\n1972\n1972\n1971\nGrand total\n2,132,420\n2,148,232\n2,247,924\n$166,627,043\n$170,517,178\n$158,809,684\nCash grant recipients\n2,077,130\n2,093,224\n2,160,974\n162,688,517\n166,649,900\n154,440,479\nGeneral home relief\n55,290\n55,008\n86,950\n3,938,526\n3,867,278\n4,369,205\nCASH GRANT PROGRAMS\nAverage monthly payments'\nAGED PERSONS (OAS)\n310,257\n310,972\n322,313\n$110.43\n$110.41\n$113.61\nBLIND PERSONS (AB/APSB)\n14,119\n13,898\n14,097\n152.40\n156.01\n156.36\nDISABLED PERSONS (ATD)\n199,799\n196,635\n190,121\n132.39\n132.26\n131.60\nFAMILIES WITH\nDEPENDENT CHILDREN\nFamily groups (AFDC-FG):\nchildren\n915,106\n919,645\n923,671\n87.60\n91.06\n75.54\ncases\n395,202\n395,382\n387,671\n202.84\n211.81\n179.98\ntotal persons\n1,289,451\n1,295,508\n1,287,338\n62.17\n64.64\n54.20\nUnemployed cases (AFDC-U):\nchildren\n138,604\n146,454\n189,188\n90.22\n93.66\n76.94\ncases\n50,479\n52,911\n65,156\n247.73\n259.23\n223.40\ntotal persons\n229,999\n242,904\n312,753\n54.37\n56.47\n46.54\nBoarding Homes and\nInstitutions (AFDC-BHI):\nchildren\n33,505\n33,307\n34,352\n170.82\n178.54\n155.53\nGENERAL HOME RELIEF\nTotal persons\n55,290\n55,008\n86,950\n71.23\n70.30\n50.25\nFamily cases\n2,319\n2,161\n11,506\n83.89\n92.59\n58.29\nPersons in family cases\n6,657\n5,946\n36,299\n29.22\n33.65\n18.48\nOne-person cases\n48,633\n49,062\n50,651\n76.98\n74.75\n73.02\nUnemployed in labor force (%)\n5.6\n6.0\n7.0\nXXX\nXXX\nXXX\n(Seasonally adjusted)\n(5.9)\n(6.3)\n(7.4)\nXXX\nXXX\nXXX\nCivilian population (excluding\nmilitary)\n20,186,000\n20,166,000\n19,945,200\nXXX\nXXX\nXXX\na/ Cash grant averages for adult aids computed from \"net\" person counts.\nb/ Excludes U cases.\np/ Preliminary.\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR NALD REAGAN\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-30-72\n#390\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\n(European Trip)\nJuly 2, 1972\nthrough\nJuly 21, 1972\nSunday, July 2\np.m.\nDepart Los Angeles for Copenhagen\nMonday, July 3\na.m.\nArrive Copenhagen - No appointments\n(local time)\nOvernight - Copenhagen\nTuesday, July 4\n12:30 p.m.\nRebild Society Tent Luncheon at Rebild Hills\n2:30 p.m.\nRebild Festival\n7:30 p.m.\nRebild Society Banquet, Hotel Royal\nOvernight - Copenhagen\nWednesday, July 5\n12:30 p.m.\nLuncheon aboard the Royal Yacht as guests of\nQueen Margrethe II\n4:30 p.m.\nCall on Prime Minister Jens Otto Krag and\nForeign Minister Knud Borge Andersen\nOvernight - Copenhagen\nThursday, July 6\np.m.\nDepart Copenhagen for Brussels\n4:00 p.m.\nCall on Commissioner of European Economic\nCommunity Sicco Mans Holt, Brussels\nOvernight - Brussels\nFriday, July 7\n9:00 a.m.\nCall on U.S. Ambassador to NATO David M.

More than 100,000 graduates served in World War II\n\"The consequences of cutting off this source of officers, as\nadvocated by some elements of our society, can well be imagined. Also,\nthere is a usually overlooked important aspect. The Army benefits from\nthe continuing infusion of progressive ideas and attitudes of the ROTC\ngraduates of 280 institutions of higher learning.\"\nThe ROTC program is praised by legislators, educators and business\nexecutives for the qualities of leadership which have been demonstrated\nby ROTC graduates in their civilian careers.\nFour-year, three-year and two-year scholarships are available to\nstudents who enroll in the ROTC program in colleges and universities.\nThis year the Army will award 2,055 scholarships which include tuition,\nbooks and laboratory expenses, and $100 a month for 10 months of the\nschool year.\nIn addition to its contributions to the vital Army Reserve program,\nROTC also is a major source of career officers. Two 4-star general\nofficers, 15 lieutenant generals, 66 major generals and 28 brigadier\ngenerals in today's active Army are ROTC graduates.\nAlso of importance to national defense is the Junior ROTC program\nconducted at nearly 600 high schools, military institutes and military\njunior colleges throughout the nation. This is a citizenship and\nmilitary instruction program which carries no service obligation.\n########\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-30-72\n#392\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced that an unemployment\nassistance fund is available to help individuals who are now unemployed\nbecause of the recent flooding of Andrus and Brannon Islands, including\nthe town of Isleton.\nFunds are provided through the Federal Relief Act, following the\nPresident's designation of the locality as a \"major disaster area,\"\nGovernor Reagan said.\nPayments could range from $55 to $75 weekly depending on the person'\nearnings, and may continue for a maximum of 26 weeks.\nGovernor Reagan said all unemployment insurance offices of the\nDepartment of Human Resources Development would begin taking applications\nfrom the flood victims on Monday, July 3, and continue for a 30-day\nperiod ending August 2, 1972.\nThe weekly amount to be paid will be computed from the applicant's\nearnings in 1971 if in regular employment and from net earnings if\nself-employed.\nGovernor Reagan said unemployment assistance may be paid if an\napplicant:\n1. Worked for another or was self-employed in the major disaster\narea at the time of the disaster and no longer has a job or a place to\nwork in the area, or cannot get to a place of work as the result of the\ndamage caused by the disaster;\n2. Lived in the disaster area at the time of the disaster and\ncannot get to work because of the damage;\n3. Was to begin working for another or in self-employment in the\ndisaster area when or after the disaster began and cannot do so as the\nresult of the disaster;\n4. Cannot work (for another or in self-employment) after the\ndisaster began in the area because of an injury, illness, or any other\ncircumstance caused by the disaster;\n5. Had been unemployed at the time of the disaster for a period of\nless than 10 weeks and is prevented from obtaining work in the area as\nthe result of the disaster;\n6. Has completed schooling or training for work no earlier than\n10 weeks prior to the disaster and is prevented from obtaining work in\nthe area as the result of the disaster;\n7. Has become the head of a household because the head of the\nhousehold died as the result of the disaster.\n######\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RC LD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n6-30-72\n#393\nAB-71\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation by Assemblyman\nE. Richard Barnes (R-San Diego) and Assemblywoman March Fong (D-Oakland)\ndesigned to reduce the incidence of venereal disease in California.\nEarlier this year, Governor Reagan augmented the 1971-72 state\nbudget by $238,000 and directed the State Department of Public Health\nto broaden its program against the spread of VD.\nAssemblyman Barnes introduced the legislation, which was part\nof the governor's program, appropriating the needed funds. In\naddition, the bill mandates that part of the funds are to be used by\nthe State Department of Education to improve teaching methods in\npublic schools to combat VD.\nMrs. Fong's bill provides that school districts may teach\nvenereal disease education courses, and requires that parents be\nnotified when the courses are to be offered.\nUnder the Fong bill, parents are also given the opportunity to\nexamine instructional material used in the classes and the right to\nwithdraw their children by written request.\n\"The spread of venereal disease has become one\nof the major health problems in California,\" Governor Reagan said.\n\"I believe the legislation that I have signed today will have a major\nimpact on the problem, and VD will eventually be reduced to a much\nlower level.\n\"This will not be accomplished overnight, but with effective\nprograms in our public schools and the Department of Health, I think\nthe near epidemic of VD can be ended.\"\n# # #\nWalthall"
