Governor Ronald Reagan today made the following statement
with regard to Tuesday's election:
"I am disappointed at the overall outcome of Tuesday's election,
but I am far from being disheartened. The Republican Party is
still the party of the future.
"I look forward to seeing those programs that will be put
forward by the Democratic-controlled statehouses and the Congress.
The people are obviously concerned about inflation. I see nothing
in the results of the election that would encourage anything other
than balanced budgets and fiscal responsibility. "

Governor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:
"We are here today to announce a project pertaining to the
continued preservation and maintenance of the quality of California's
lakes and reservoirs. It is of particular interest because our water
resources have been an enduring concern.
"We justifiably take great pride in our lakes. They are some of
the nation's finest, cleanest, and most distinct. And we believe we
have an outstanding water management program under the direction of
Win Adams, chairman of the State Water Resources Control Board.
"There is evidence which relates population concentrations,
industrial wastes, and run-off from fertilized croplands to potential,
damaging nutrient enrichment---a lake condition known as eutrophication.
"This project will provide further insight. The information we
gain will augment California Water Resources Control Board programs
which now assess water quality.
"Our California National Guard will play an unusual role in this
research. It's a continuation of their proud tradition and performance.
Militarily, their record is praiseworthy; in relatively peaceful times,
our Guardsmen have furthered their renown through their good works.
"Now we are asking our Guard to assist the Water Resources Control
Board in a comprehensive identification and analysis of the eutrophication
threat to selected California lakes and reservoirs.
"Those with me will explain the details. Now may I introduce
Robert Payne, the coordinator of the National Eutrophication Survey at
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency in Washington.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that the California National
Guard has agreed to spearhead an environmental project in cooperation with
the California State Water Resources Control Board and the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA).
Governor Reagan said the effort is aimed at helping state and
federal authorities identify and analyze potential threats to selected
fresh water lakes and reservoirs in California.
The agreement provides for the use of National Guard personnel and
resources to collect an estimated 1,372 water samples from the tributaries
flowing into the 29 California lakes designated for the year-long research
effort. The lakes and the counties in which they are located include:
Iron Gate Reservoir, Siskiyou; Lake Pillsbury, Lake; Lower
Klamath Lake, Siskiyou; Lake Mendocino, Mendocino; Lake Hennessey, Napa;
Nicasio Reservoir, Marin; Santa Margarita Lake, San Luis Obispo; Lopez
Lake, San Luis Obispo; Casitas Lake, Ventura; Lake Britton, Shasta;
Lake Amador (Jackson Creek Reservoir), Amador; Tulloch Reservoir,
Tuolumne;
Don Pedro Reservoir, Tuolumne; Shaver Lake, Fresno; Upper and
Lower Twin Lakes (Bridgeport), Mono; Topaz Lake, Mono; Lake Crowley,
Mono; Lake Mary, Mono; Silver Lake, Mono; Fallen Leaf Lake, El Dorado;
Boca Lake, Nevada; Lake Elsinore, Riverside; Lake Irvine, Orange; Lower
Otay Reservoir, San Diego; Lake Henshaw, San Diego; Lake Tahoe, Placer-
E1 Dorado; Lake Havasu, San Bernardino; Lake Shasta, Shasta.
Win Adams, chairman of the California State Water Resources
Control Board, said his staff has been coordinating the project with
EPA. The board was involved in the selection of the California lakes
to be investigated and provided background documentation for the
development of the study.
In announcing the agreement, Governor Reagan emphasized, "This
project gives our California National Guard an opportunity to render
another valuable community service, one that goes beyond the normal
involvement of the military."

Specifically, California National Guardsmen will conduct monthly
sampling at 98 sites, both to enable assessment of the pollution and
eutrophication threat endangering surveyed lakes and to assist in the
dentification of waste sources. During summer 1975, three specially
equipped jet helicopters, supplied to EPA by the Department of Defense,
will land on the 29 California lakes to conduct a series of intensive
water quality samplings.
The California study is a portion of EPA's National Eutrophication
Survey.
"Eutrophication" is one of the more serious water quality problems
facing many areas of the nation today. Excess chemical nutrients can
cause an over-abundance of aquatic plant growth. Ultimately, the
eutrophication process can deteriorate water quality so that fish die
and the lake's aesthetic and recreational values may be lost. Over an
extended period of continued growth and decay of plant life, the lake
can slowly fill to the point where it will disappear.
The nutrients which feed plant growth enter lakes from natural
land runoff, effluent discharged by municipal sewage treatment plants and
industries, and from fertilized farmland.
The National Eutrophication Survey attempts, in light of existing
state information, to discover a surveyed lake's present condition, the
threat of any future worsened eutrophication, and the principal sources
of any damaging nutrient entering the lake. The survey's product will
be comprehensive reports on these 29 lakes, prepared in consultation
with the State Water Resources Control Board.
Participating Guardsmen will operate from their local units--13
in all--taking samples on weekends, each month for a year, according to
Brigadier General Robert S. Johnson, the Deputy Adjutant General, Army
of the California National Guard.
The State Water Resources Control Board will furnish a team of
specialists to assist in the technical training of guardsmen.
The Guard and EPA have agreed that the first samples will be taken
at all state points on Saturday and Sunday, November 16 and 17. Those
samples, like subsequent ones, will be shipped to EPA's National
Environmental Research Center at Corvallis, Oregon, for analysis. The
final report on survey findings will be made available following the
conclusion of the one-year sampling program.
General Johnson has appointed Second Lieutenant Terry L. Barrie of
Sacramento as project officer for the California survey. The State Water
Resources Control Board's survey liaison is Thomas E. Bailey, assistant
chief, Division of Planning and Research.

Governor Ronald Reagan said today the federal government could
revitalize the housing and construction industries and fight inflation,
too, by offering incentives to encourage Americans to save in the nation's
private financial institutions.
"It can do all this without any great new government programs
or the spending and high taxes that produce inflation," the governor said
in remarks prepared for the United States League of Savings Association
Convention.
"Congress is now considering legislation that would, if passed,
have the effect of greatly expanding the amount of private investment
money available for new, long-term mortgages. It would mean a flow of
$16 billion in savings into your institutions alone---and much more than
that through banks and other types of financial institutions," he said.
The legislation, a bi-partisan measure (HR 16994), has passed
the House Ways and Means Committee and is up for further consideration
when Congress reconvenes. It would give every family filing a joint tax
return a federal income tax exemption of up to $1,000 on interest earned
from deposits in savings and loan associations, banks, credit unions
and other types of financial institutions.
"This kind of positive incentive would generate the capital neces-
sary to meet our construction needs," the governor said. "It would help
the saver, by reducing his taxes instead of raising them. The $16 billion
(of new funds) in savings and loans alone would be enough to provide
mortgage loans for 500,000 residential units, including 200,000 new homes.
This, in turn, would stimulate 350,000 jobs in the construction and
related industries and this would generate prosperity in other areas.
The governor noted that the Treasury Department is opposing the
measure because it would mean a loss of $1.8 billion of tax revenue.
"I don't argue with the figure," the governor said. "But it's a
short-sighted attitude (which) ignores the fact that billions of dollars
in new tax revenue would be generated by curing the problems of a slumping
housing industry through private savings instead of trying to dream up
another government program.
-1-
#663
"It also ignores the fact that the slump in construction and
housing could mean (additional) billions of dollars in government costs
for unemployment benefits and welfare."
The tax incentive, the governor said, would permit almost
100 million small savers to earn a higher effective interest rate on
their savings.
"What's wrong with giving small taxpayers the same kind of tax
break and higher interest return that is available to large foreign
investors who can purchase high yield U.S. securities?," he asked.
"If the federal government really wants to fight inflation, it
will start adopting this kind of incentive to save and keep those funds
in our own domestic economy.
"Right now, government's policies discourage thrift. If a small
investor earns $100 interest in a savings institution and is a typical
taxpayer in the 22 percent bracket, he gets to keep only $78 because
income taxes take the rest. And because he's earned $100 gross through
his savings, he might even find himself in a higher tax bracket which
is
means that much more/going to government instead of being retained where
it helps the saver and the economy, too.
"If you want to fight inflation, if you really want to bring the
cost of living under control and maintain America's prosperity, you have
to start encouraging the savings necessary to finance America's private
industries," the governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the convening of the
Governor's Conference on Criminal Justice to be held in Sacramento on
December 2, 3, 4, 1974.
The keynote speaker will be United States Attorney General William
Saxbe.
The governor's conference is the culminating event of a six month
effort by 467 Californians who served on 17 advisory committees to
recommend a series of policy goals and performance standards to get
all the parts of the state's criminal justice system working together.
"During the eight years of this administration, we have worked
hard to bring about a coordinated effort by all of the state's
criminal justice agencies to reduce crime through improvements in the
criminal justice system," Governor Reagan said. "We found there was
no set of guidelines which would insure that all the various parts of
the system were working towards the same goals and using compatible
methods.
"Project Safer California was launched earlier this year, under
the direction of the Office of Criminal Justice Planning, to establish
that set of guidelines.
"Seventeen advisory committees met during the summer and fall and
have recommended more than 500 standards and goals covering all aspects
of the criminal justice system. These recommendations will be presented
publicly at the Governor's Conference on Criminal Justice."
Each advisory committee chairman will present the recommendations
of that committee. In addition to Saxbe, State Attorney General Evelle
J. Younger, Los Angeles Police Chief Edward Davis, and Richard Velde,
administrator of the law enforcement assistance administration in
Washington, D.C. will address the conference.

Project Safer California is a program to adopt realistic standards and
goals for the California criminal justice system. It follows similar
programs on a national level, primarily by the National Advisory Com-
mission which compiled about 700 recommendations, and the American Bar
Association with about 400 recommendations. On the state level, the
Governor's Select Committee on Law Enforcement Problems last year pub-
lished a report with nearly 100 recommendations.
The standards and goals process began at the national level on October
20, 1971. Jerris Leonard, administrator of the Law Enforcement Assist-
ance Administration (LEAA), appointed the National Advisory Commission
on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, to formulate for the first
time, national criminal justice standards and goals for crime reduction
and prevention. The Commission report was published January 23, 1973.
It then became the responsibility of the states to use the NAC volumes
as a model or process to establish standards and goals to meet the
needs and problems of their own states.
California began planning their own standards and goals program under
the direction of the Office of Criminal Justice Planning in July of
1974, with the appointment of 467 persons to serve on advisory commit-
tees covering every aspect of the criminal justice system. Each
committee had a balanced membership representing all parts of the
criminal justice system.
These committees will make a presentation of their recommendations at
the Governor's Conference on Criminal Justice on December 2, 3, 4, 1974,
in Sacramento.
Immediately following the Governor's Conference, the California Council
on Criminal Justice (CCCJ) will meet to review, revise and adopt stand-
ards and goals for inclusion in the planning process of the criminal
justice system.
These standards and goals will be incorporated in the California 1976-80
Multi-year Comprehensive Plan, and will provide the basic guidelines for
CCCJ funding of these years. In addition, in December of 1974, the
standards and goals, as adopted by the CCCJ, will be referred to each
of the 21 regional criminal justice councils in the state. Each region
will hold its own series of standards and goals conferences, using the
California standards and goals as a model, and adopt standards and set
priorities to meet the needs of that region.
The national gudelines are not mandated on the states, but are used as
a model for the statewide effort. In the same manner, the state stand-
ards and goals are to be used as a model for the regional effort.
The Governor's Conference on Criminal Justice will be held at the
Sacramento Earl Warren Convention Center at 14th and K Streets,
Sacramento, on December 2, 3, 4, 1974.
The Press Room will be in the San Joaquin Room in the Convention Center
Activities Building, telephone (916) 449-5108.
The Information Office of the Office of Criminal Justice Planning,
7171 Bowling Drive, Sacramento, California 95823, telephone (916)
322-5886, will handle public information and press information for
the Governor's Conference.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the resignation of
his legislative assistant, John S. Tooker.
Tooker will become director of association services for the

The association, with a membership of more than 260,000 throughout
the country, represents all segments of the cattle industry.
Current president of the association is Gordon Van Vleck of Plymouth,
Amador County.
"It is with mixed emotions that I accept John's resignation,' "
the governor said, sadness from the standpoint that this great
adventure of the past eight years is coming to an end, but happiness
over the fact that John is returning to an industry he knows and
enjoys."
Tooker joined the staff of the Resources Agency in January 1968
and later was appointed director of the Office of Planning and Research.
He became Governor Reagan's legislative assistant in July 1973.
He is a native Californian and graduate of the University of
California at Davis.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced publication of the
California State Park System Stewardship Report for 1973-74, the
final year of his administration.
"During the eight years of stewardship covered in this report,
the administration of the State Park System has been improved consider-
ably and many innovative steps taken to meet the public's changing
needs," the governor said.
"Over 145,000 acres have been added to the State Park System,
including 41 miles of ocean frontage and 275 miles of lake and river
frontage. With the lands now being acquired through the 1974 Park Bond
Act, the Bagley Conservation Act, and other sources, this brings to
approximately one million acres the total of scenic and recreational
lands preserved in the California State Park System."
Major milestones cited include the passage of two major park
bond issues and the Bagley Conservation Act, the successful pioneering
of the Ticketron computerized reservation system for park campsites and
Hearst Monument tours, the expansion and improvement of the California
State Fair, the establishment of a new urban park in the Santa Monica
Mountains, and the development, at no cost to the state, of a million-
dollar training facility at Asilomar State Conference Grounds.
In the report, State Parks Director William Penn Mott, Jr. credits
citizen support for much of the success of the program. The State Park
and Recreation Commission, the Historical Landmarks Advisory and Recrea-
tional Trails committees, and over 40 citizens advisory committees are
all cited for their assistance. Also commended are the Save-the-Redwoods
League, the State Parks Foundation, the Sempervirens Fund, and the Anza-
Borrego Committee of the Desert Protective Council, and many corporations
and individuals who contributed to the State Park System.
The state has received almost $40 million within the last three
years in gifts of land, artifacts, or cash, the report states.
Mott's report emphasizes the need to move as rapidly as possible
on the planned program for acquisition and development.
"By immediately using the funds now available before they are
diminished by inflation, and by energetically implementing plans now
coming off the drawing boards, the State Park System can quickly expand
its facilities to serve the thousands of recreation-hungry persons who
are today being turned away from overcrowded parks," Mott said.
"In recent years the State Park System has been expanded, and it
has been reorganized to adjust to the emerging needs of our growing and
evolving society. Further expansion and change will be necessary, but
for the challenges of the immediate future, the State Park System has
been made ready."

Governor Ronald Reagan today presented the Distinguished Service
Medal to Major General Glenn C. Ames, commanding general of the
California National Guard and the state's military forces.
The award, highest that a member of the military forces may
receive in peacetime, is the first to go to an officer in the National
Guard while serving with the organization.
The decoration may go to any person who, while serving in any
capacity with the United States Army, has distinguished himself by
outstanding meritorious service to the government in a duty of great
responsibility.
Authority to award the DSM is vested in the Chief of Staff,
U.S. Army.
The citation reads:
"The President of the United States of America, authorized by
Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, has awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal to
"Major General Glenn C. Ames
"California Army National Guard
for exceptionally meritorious service in positions of great responsibility:
"Major General Glenn C. Ames distinguished himself by eminently
meritorious service in positions of great responsibility as the
Commanding General, California Army National Guard and, concurrently,
Commander of the California Military Froces from March 1967 to
October 1973. His tenure has been marked by manifold improvements
in the standards, capabilities and elan of the entire California
National Guard and, most notably, of the Army elements thereof. By a
combination of soundly conceived objectives, innovative programs,
skillful allocation of resources and close personal supervision, he
effected substantial upgrading of the quality of training and the combat
readiness of all units. Due to his farsighted policies, unflagging
perseverance and managerial ability, facilities have been greatly
augmented and a viable logistics system is in operation. He has been
both the architect and the driving force behind dramatic improvements
in all aspects of officer and non-commissioned officer education; and
his unrelenting emphasis on military excellence and professionalism led
to revitalization of the California Military Academy and heightened
standards of performance at all levels. It is a special tribute to
his assiduous efforts to insure meticulous preparation for the most
sensitive task of coping with civil disorders that his units have
responded in support of law enforcement agencies on 27 occasions without
a single instance of overreaction. Recognizing that the vitality of
the guard is directly proportional to the degree of public support, he
reestablished the traditional relationship between Guard units and home
community, sparked a dynamic Domestic Action Program and made invaluable
contributions to establishment of the statewide emergency services
machinery. General Ames, by virtue of his superb competence, his dynamic
leadership and his total dedication, has insured that the California
National Guard is fully capable of carrying out its actual and contingent
missions; has furthered the national security in measurable degree; and
has earned the respect and admiration of all his colleagues. Major
General Ames' exceptionally outstanding performance of duty is in keeping
with the finest traditions of military service and reflects great credit
upon him and the California Army National Guard."
