FRESNO
RELEASE TO AM':
TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1970
SF #50
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address
to the Fresno Fund-raising Dinner at the Hacienda Motel Monday evening.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
Of all Californians, you folks here in Fresno should know that
water was one of the prime factors - along with work and capital and
sweat and tears -- that transformed the San Joaquin Valley into the
nation's vegetable garden. Without water, the crops on these rich
agricultural fields would wither -- some areas would dry up and blow
away.
The California Water Project must be completed if we are to
provide water for agriculture and the continued flow of foods and
fibers -- not only to Californians but to millions of people through-
out the nation, and even foreign lands.
Let me cite a few examples to show how important this industry
is to California.
One out of every three jobs in California is related to agricul-
ture and agri-business contributes $16 billion to the State's economy.
For every 10 Californians employed in agriculture, 26 more are
employed in other industries such as processing, transportation,
agricultural finance, canning and selling.
More than 400 million cartons and 40 million wooden boxes and
1.3 billion glass jars and 5 billion cans are manufactured in California
MORE
FRESNO / page 2
and used yearly for packing California produce.
More than enough food labels are printed to stretch to the moon
and back.
More than half a billion dollars is spent each year to ship
California farm products, and this accounts for a third of the total
railroad tonnage and one half of all truck business in this state.
Water is the key to this vast industry, water is the life blood of its
future.
Right now about $600 million in water project bonds cannot be
sold because the tight money market prevents us from selling these
bonds at the existing five percent ceiling. To remove this roadblock,
Proposition Seven was put on the June ballot. It would permit us to
increase the interest rate ceiling up to seven percent -- if the
interest rate ever went that high -- and it would enable us to sell
those bonds and complete the project, as well as bonds for public
school construction, veterans home loans, beaches and parks and junior
colleges -- all of which have already been approved by the voters.
Some, who are opposed to the water project, are urging the public
to vote "No" on Proposition Seven.
This opposition is short-sighted. It is destructive. It could
wreck California's economy. As one San Francisco paper put it, a
call for a "No" vote is "a call to taxpayers to line up at the voting
booth and cut their own throats."
Whether you voted for or against the State Water Project bonds
back in 1960, the fact remains that today it is not up for a vote; it
is no longer an idea -- it is a 90 percent completed fact. More than
$1.4 billion of public bond money has been already spent or committed.
FRESNO / page 3
Water deliveries are already being made as far south as Kern county.
Power is already being generated at the dams which are an integral
part of the project. The money from the sale of water and power are
the sources of revenue to pay back the projects bonded indebtedness.
If Proposition Seven were to fail and we had to shut down the
project, it would not only turn off the faucet for the Valley -- it
would mean that the taxpayers would have to pay back most of the money
already spent and already received from the various water agencies that
have bonded and taxed themselves to support the cost of the construction
in advance of water delivery.
At the present time, it would cost the taxpayers more to stop
the project than it will to complete it.
Halting the project would cost $2 billion in principal and
interest and the taxpayer would be stuck with most of that bill.
We in Sacramento would have no choice but to find some other way to
fund the project -- at least on a temporary basis, until the money
market changed or the voters approved another request for raising the
interest ceiling.
Too many people have worked too hard for too many years to build
this great valley to let it dry up. Too many people depend too much
on the food and fibers from the fields of this great and fertile area
to let it wither away. We must not force the consumer to turn to
other areas and higher prices just because someone turned off your
water.
One of the real travesties in all of this is that much of the
opposition to the water project has been mixed up in concern about
protecting environment. Those who buy that line are being hoodwinked.
Where is the conservation in lost crops? Where is the environmental
MORE
FRESNO / page 4
preservation in fields that turn brown and soil that blows away for
lack of water? Can anyone claim they are protecting the environment
by proposing that areas of this great valley be allowed to revert to
dry and fruitless plains?
There are some who claim that the water project is simply a great
scheme to rob Northern California of its water just to fill the swim-
ming pools of Los Angeles.
As Governor of this State, I would never be a party to robbing
the North of its water. The water transported by the project is
surplus water -- winter flood water -- which over the years has run
unchecked through the Golden Gate and into the Pacific to be wasted
forever.
Less than half of the water in the project goes through the
Tehachapis -- more than half will be used here in the Valley, and in
the San Francisco Bay area.
I urge you to vote "Yes" on Proposition Seven -- not just to
protect the best interests of this great Valley, but to help insure
the future of California.

FOR RELEASE TO:
THURSDAY AM's
April 9, 1970
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address to
the Southern California fund-raising dinner at the Century Plaza Hotel on
Wednesday night.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as a
verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in this
as a public statement by him.
-0-
Just about four years ago, you and I and hundreds of thousands of
Californians started a grass roots movement in California politics.
We termed it the Creative Society but, in truth, it was nothing more
or less than a commitment to common sense and a pledge to get government
off our backs.
We are on temporary duty in public service - but first of all, we
are citizens.
We had come to a time of decision, 2. time for choosing, and the path
we had determined to follow turned away from any idea that government and
those who serve it were omniscient or omnipotent.
We made no deals. We were sick and tired of wheelers and dealers
and schemes and schemers and those who pander faulty premises and empty
promises.
At no time did we say that we would keep on doing what the other
fellows had been doing, but just do it more cheaply. We disagreed with
hat they had been doing.
MORE
LOS ANGELES / page 2
Our onl" commitment was that government must again be what it once
was - of and by, as well 2.13 for, the people. Our belief then, and now,
is that the seat of government was not in Sacramento or Washington, but
in the homes and hearts and vision of the people. Government is the
people's business and ve, the people, must run government or government
will arely run us.
'rex dream, if you will, was a state where liberty under law and
justice could triumph, compassion would govern and the people would par-
ticipate, grow and prosper because of government policies and not in
spite of them.
And in 1966 --- after eight years of an administration which was
frequently wrong but seldom in doubt -- we were given a mandate to get
government back in shape, back to its proper purposes which, very simply,
is to exist solely for the convenience of the people.
Now you have a proprietary interest in this administration - and a
right to know just how far we've come in fulfilling that mandate.
No one pretends that the job is completely accomplished or that we
are anywhere near satisfied. You can't rebuild in months - or a few
years - what it took others years to disassemble.
*
During our first three years, we passed some of the most significant
crime legislation in more. than a decade.
We sought and supported tougher laws to crack down on the dope peddler
and the narcotics pusher and appointed a statewide coordinator to pull
these programs togesher into an all-out war against arugs and narcotics -
& war we Intend to win!
LOS ANGELES / page 3
You have often heard 100 say that no government has ever voluntarily
reduced itself in size. Well, We may just be the first one to do it.
We have moved from ninth lowest among the states in the cost of
government per capita to fifth lowest. And this is one place where we
want to be Number One.
We don't subscribe to the theory that you rate the quality of gov-
ernment simply by the quantity of the taxpayers' money it spends. Like
most things in life, good government should be based on quality, not
quantity.
*
1 didn't have to go to Sacramento to be converted to preserving the
magic of California. Anybody who has been riding horseback over the
trails and the hills of this state for years knows how important it is to
preserve our environment. For more than three years now, we have been
taking the lead in protecting our environment.
But protecting and improving the environment is more than just stope
ping things or changing things. It's building things - the right things,
We must maintain the proper balance between the extremes which say no
more roads, no more industries, no more people, and the extreme which
would justify everything and anything in the name of progress.
Eight now. for example, there are those who would try to scuttle
the California Water Project by defeating Proposition 7 on the June
ballot.
MORE
LOS ANGELES / page 4
The California Water Project is essential for the continued progress
and prosperity of the state. Yet there are those who oppose it in the
name of environment. I see no protection of the environment in fields
that are allowed to dry up because of a lack of water, or crops that fail
or towns that die because the faucet is turned off. I see no protection
of the environment in destroying the bread-basket of the state or in pre-
venting the development of new areas in Southern California so that our
population can be dispersed into new towns and new creas,
Those who call for a "No" vote on Proposition 7 are asking the
voters to cut their own throats. Ninety percent of the project is com-
pleted or under construction. It would cost us more to halt the water pro-
ject than to complete it. And, if it is shut down, more than $2 billion
in debt and principal would be transferred to the general taxpayers'
backs taxes that would have been paid by the water users and customers
who use the power generated by the project.
And, included in the hold-up on those bond sales, are monies needed
for schools and veterans' home loans, beaches and parks and junior colleges.
If we are really concerned about the future of California, we will
pass Proposition 7 and let the state compete in the ebb and flow of the
free warket on bonds.
*
*
For the first time in more than 30 years, ye have introduced legis-
lation to overhaul the state's tax structure. This program would guarantee
a reduction of the homeowners' property tax ranging from 25 to 40 percent,
depenitng on the value of the home and its location in the state.
MORE
LOS ANGELES / page 5
In Los Angeles Country, the 1969-70 average tax rate of $9.93 would
be cut to $7.22 - a 27 percent reduction for the homeowner,
There are those who counseled us not to get into tax reform in an
election year. They warned it isn't the political thing to do.
But this is no time for politics 33 usual.
You wanted 2. difference. We have started the long climb out of a
bottomless bureaucratic pit.
If the recent polls are accurate, it would seem there is support for
our efforts. We are on the way to building a new majority in this state -
a majority which will continue to speak affirmatively about individual
dignity, which will keep itself fastened to basic common sense values and
the precept that each individual is entitled to the full rewards of his
labor, and that the initiative of free citizens in free enterprise is the
mainspring of human progress, that each man counts and is likewise
accountable.
We do this - not because it is the politically smart thing to do
- but because it is the morally right thing to do.
Everything we have worked for since 1958 ---- everything we have
planned for and built for - can happen this year.
Republicans stand on the brink of success!

FOR RELEASE TO:
FRIDAY AM's - May 15, 1970
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address
to the fund-raising dinner for Assemblyman Earle Crandall at the
San Jose Hyatt House Thursday evening.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as
a verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in
this as a public statement by him.
-0-
A week ago this morning the state universities and colleges were
closed for four days at my request.
At that time, I suggested to the great majority of students and
faculty - those of goodwill, those who believe there is a better way
than the torch and the club - that they take those four days to re-
view both their aspirations and their responsibilities, and that they
use the four days as a time of sober reflection, and prayerful evalu-
ation. I spoke specifically to them because I believe they are the
best hope for restoring academic sanity and freedom to our campuses.
And, I suggested that when they returned to school last Monday
morning, it could mark a new beginning - a new time on our campuses:
a time of dialogue and discussion without destruction, an honest, non-
violent search for answers and solutions, and the pursuit of knowledge.

I think all Californians can be proud of the way the vast
majority of students and faculty responded. There was -- and is -
relative quiet on most of our campuses. Today, throughout the two
higher educational systems, anywhere from 75 to 90 percent of the
students are attending classes. I hope and pray that this does mark
a new beginning - a new era:
Now there are some a relative few who want to skip classes
for the rest of the year and spend their full-time on political
activities. That is their choice to make. But, they should not be
given credit or passing grades for the courses they do not complete,
or the classes they do not attend.
Perhaps we could understand that some students will always try
to get credit for not going to class, or a passing grade for a course
they did not complete. But, I cannot understand how some faculty
members - upon whom part of the integrity of the educational system
depends - could aid and abet this. Could it be that these faculty
members are telling us something about the educational value of the
classes they teach?
(The vast majority of) students should not be forced to curtail
their education and to suspend their progress toward a degree and a
profession so that a few can engage in political activities.
The taxpayers of California should not be asked to support
educational institutions which substitute political rallies and
precinct work for academic courses.

SAN JOSE / page 3
I know that there are many sincere students on our campuses who
feel they have legitimate grievances - some with the university or
the colleges, some with the shortcomings in our society. Many find
the war repugnant. They want to do something about it -- to make
their feelings known and their presence felt. I share their belief
in citizen action.
But, I think those who feel strongly about the various issues
have plenty of opportunity to engage in such political activity on their
own time - after hours, on weekends and vacations. That's the way
most hard-working, tax-paying citizens do.
To permit our campuses to become havens for political action -
regardless of the issue or the ideology involved - would be to erode
the value of the education received. It would degrade the academic
excellence these institutions have earned over the years. Carried to
its ultimate conclusion, it could transform great academies into
little more than finishing schools for mobocracy.
If this is to become the purpose of the college and university,
there is no need for faculties or libraries or laboratories. Masters
degrees and PhD's, cyclotrons and computers, are hardly essential
under such circumstances. I do not belittle political action or being
concerned about current issues. But the point I make is that they
are not something to be subsidized by the taxpayer; and, they are
hardly a prerequisite for a higher education.
MORE
SAN JOSE / page 4
The passions of the moment, no matter how earnestly pursued,
cannot replace the grave obligation of student and faculty member
to examine, improve and extend centuries of knowledge, tradition and
culture. The failure to lead the inquiring minds of students in the
search for truth and progress is the supreme crime of an age. This
has happened upon occasion in man's history and it has caused untold
and unnecessary misery -- one such period is called the Dark Ages.
I believe the great number of students and faculty want to con-
centrate on the higher purpose of higher education; there can be no
adulteration of that purpose. Those who do not feel they can accept
this - those who would rather give full-time to other activities -
should step aside. There are many others standing in line, hoping
for the opportunity to get an education. And these, we taxpayers
are more than willing to assist,

MODESTO
FOR RELEASE TO:
WEDNESDAY AM's - May 20, 1970
The following is excerpted from Governor Ronald Reagan's address
to the fund-raising dinner for Assemblyman Clare Berryhill at the
Modesto Elks Club Tuesday evening.
Since the Governor speaks from notes, this is not guaranteed as
a verbatim text. However, he stands behind all material contained in
this as a public statement by him.
-0-
If Proposition 7 does not pass, we can have fiscal chaos in
California. The failure of this important proposition would affect
virtually every phase of every citizen's life in this state. The only
possible exception, as the Oakland Tribune put it, would be "a 4-F,
childless hermit living in a cave in the middle of the Mojave desert,
subsisting on goat's milk."
Right here in Stanislaus County, for example, some $14.5 million
in development and construction projects depends on the passage of
Proposition 7.
For some time now, we have had to hold up construction of $2.25
million in local school construction because of the existing low interest
ceiling. I'm talking about such projects as the Vera Cruz Avenue school
here in Modesto, the intermediate school in Ceres, and the Reinway
Avenue school in Waterford.
MORE
MODESTO / page 2
And, there's the $50,000 Tuolumne River Regional Park
development, here in Modesto 35 acres of lands and meadow areas,
picnic and camping facilities.
Deserving veterans here in your county are being denied home
contracts, despite the fact that the voters approved bonds for
veterans' home loans - $3.8 million in veteran home loan bond money
for Stanislaus County is tied up because the present low interest ceil-
ing makes it impossible to sell those already-approved bonds.
And, there's the $8.6 million for the Modesto and Turlock
Irrigation districts' new Don Pedro project. The grant for this rec-
reation, fish and wildlife project have been approved, but the project
sits idle -- and will continue to sit idle for an undetermined period
unless Proposition 7 is approved.
Nearly $1.3 billion in State general obligation bonds - approved
by the voters in previous elections -- are tied up because of the
nationwide tight money market. This is holding back vital state
building programs, it is delaying progress in our state, it is depres-
sing the work market at a time where we are striving to create jobs
and job opportunities.
The passage of Proposition 7 would enable us to adjust the
present five percent interest ceiling up to seven percent who neces-
sary to compete in the market place. Right now, 24 states have no
interest rate limitations and only two other states have interest
ceilings as low as five percent.
MORE
MODESTO / page 3
There are those who are seeking to delay, or disrupt, the
state water project by working for the defeat of Proposition 7.
Everyone here - everyone in this great Central Valley - knows the
importance of the water project to the future of the area, and to
the future of this state. The travesty is that some oppose the water
project -- and thus Proposition 7 - in the name of ecology, protecting
the environment.
Where is the protection of the environment in fields that revert
to alkalai beds; or crops that wither for want of water; or towns
that suffer economic set-backs because farmers and cattlemen are
unable to stay in business?
Schools, junior colleges, veterans, parks and recreation - as
well as construction of the water project - make it essential that
we support Proposition 7 on June second.

CALIFORNIANS FOR REAGAN
Some of California's most prominent Democrats - long
6/70
recognized as major contributors, party activists and office holders
- today joined the campaign to re-elect Governor Ronald Reagan.
The announcement came as a dramatic rejection of their own
party's candidate but made no mention of Assemblyman Jesse M. Unruh
by name.
The new non-partisan group organized as Californians for
Reagan - is headed by George R. Killion of San Francisco, longtime
Democratic Party finance leader, and Senator Hugh M. Burns of Fresno,
dean of the California Legislature, as co-chairmen.
Other leading Democrats who have joined as executive committee
members of Californians for Reagan include James Cummins, San
Francisco, recently retired head of an international shipping enter-
prise; Alameda County Supervisor Emanuel P. Razeto of Oakland; Edmund
Key, Fresno, who was Democratic Candidate Sam Yorty's San Joaquin
Valley coordinator; and Gilford G. Rowland, Sacramento attorney and
former California State Bar president.

REAGAN / page 2
In a joint statement, they emphasized they are not leaving
the Democratic Party but declared this is a time when "we cannot
afford the luxury of politics-as-usual and must put the welfare of
our state and its citizens above partisan considerations. '''
Killion, a former national treasurer of the Democratic Party,
was state director of finance under Democratic Governor Culbert D.
Olson. He is a director and former president of American President
Lines, currently is board chairman of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and was an
organizer of the "President's Clubs" -- organizations of major finan-
cial contributors -- for Democratic Presidents John F. Kennedy and
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Senator Burns has been an assemblyman and senator more than
32 years and, for more than 13 years, served as president Pro-Tempore
of the California Senate. He ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic
nomination for secretary of state in the June 2 primary. He has
served as secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee and was
a delegate to five Democratic National Conventions.
In their joint statement, the Californians for Reagan officials
keynoted the impressive bipartisan support for the Governor's re-
election.
"Most of us have long been identified as workers, contributors
and supporters of the Democratic Party," they said, "and we expect to
continue our affiliation and support in the future.
MORE
REAGAN / page 3
Occasionally, however, there are periods of crisis in which
we cannot afford the luxury of politics-as-usual and must put the
welfare of our state and its citizens above partisan considerations.
This is one of those times.
"California has been ravaged by crimes of violence. A shocking
number of persons holding official positions have encouraged this
violence by their failure to take the swift and decisive means required
to end it, by offering apologies for the guilty instead of action to
protect the public and, in some cases, by open expressions of support
for those involved.
"Governor Ronald Reagan has had the courage and fortitude to
declare that crime and violence will not be tolerated, regardless of
who is involved or the nature of their purported cause or motivation.
Had he not stood firmly and decisively -- despite an incredible
onslaught of vilification and distortion - the situation in California
would be much worse than it is today.
"The safety of our citizens and our institutions requires that
the leadership of Governor Reagan be continued.
"Governor Reagan also has proved his effective leadership by
injecting efficiency and economy into our state government and saving
many millions of dollars that otherwise would be collected from our
already overburdened taxpayers. "
MORE
REAGAN / page 4
His priorities, that have put true quality education and
preservation of the state's natural resources ahead of expensive
bureaucratic traditions, have demonstrated his rapport with the vast
majority of California's citizens.
"For these reasons, we are declaring our support for his
re-election and are uniting as Californians for Reagan to help
assure his victory in November."
The executive committee members are varied in occupation and
location but have two things in common --- none is a Republican and
all are supporting Governor Reagan:
CUMMINS - Former owner of Market Street Van & Storage Company
of San Francisco and later president of Allied Van Lines, Inc. He
recently retired as president of Asiatic Forwarders, Inc., Asiatic
Trans-Pacific, Inc., and as a Domestic Air Express, Inc. Director.
He has long been a contributor to Democratic campaigns.
RAZETO - A prominent Oakland attorney and a member of the
Alameda County Board of Supervisors for 16 years.
KEY -- Factory representative of American Lubricating Company
with headquarters in Fresno, where he coordinated the valley campaign
activities of Yorty in the Democratic primary.
ROWLAND - A partner in the Sacramento law firm of Rowland,
Clowdus and Parker, active in numberous legal societies and a Democrat
for many years.

In a joint statement, the two men said:
"Ronald Reagan in his first term as governor has rekindled
hope for the future in all Californians. His overwhelming accept-
ance at the polls in 1966 showed dramatically that California was
ready for a change. His continuing popularity and the tremendous
support given him by the people show that he has been able to
effect the mandated changes.
"Governor Reagan has met head-on the problems that face
California today and has been highly effective in dealing with
campus unrest. He has accomplished what many politicians promise
but few can deliver: the sporadic growth of government has been
halted and the Governor is actually running the state more effec-
tively today with fewer state employees than when he took office
in 1967. "

Podiatrists for Reagan were:
Dr. Norman Asher, San Francisco; Dr. Douglas Hammitt,

TO: News Media Representatives
Enclosed is a very tentative schedule of Governor Ronald Reagan's
campaign activities from his Fall Kickoff on Monday, September 7, through
Saturday, September 19. It is subject to change and lacks considerable
detail that will be included in subsequent revisions.
If you plan to travel with us -- or assign a crew -- for all or any
portion of this period, please contact your nearest (South or North) News
Bureau as soon as possible. Phone numbers are printed above. We must
know how many will be aboard sufficiently in advance to arrange for
proper air, ground and hotel accomodations.
Fiscal arrangements will be the same as in the Spring and the custom
followed in most campaign tours: Each correspondent will be billed for
air travel on the basis of the first class commercial airline rate be-
tween the points covered. The campaign will reserve hotel rooms and
each correspondent must pay his bill, by cash or credit card, upon
checking out.
If you are travelling with us during any portion of the September
11-13 period, it is extremely important that you advise us of the
following:
(1) Have you already made arrangements with the
Republican State Central Committee for lodging and/or
tickets to events to be covered at the convention in
San Diego?
(2) Do you plan to travel and be housed with the
Reagan tour party and do you want us to arrange for
tickets to the events Governor Reagan will attend?
A couple of FYI's: (1) On Sunday, September 6 -- the day prior to
the campaign kickoff - Governor Reagan will make a public appearance
at the new Onterio Speedway opening. He will present the winner's cup
but will not make a speech. (2) Because of the forthcoming legislative
Veto Session, we do not expect any campaign events early in the week
beginning Sunday, September 20.
Call to let us know your plans -- and if we can be of help.

"If anTemploye showed up for work just nine days out of three
months in his company's busiest season, he would hardly be promoted
to chief executive of the firm -- but that's exactly what Jesse
Unruh is trying," Thomas C. Reed declared today.
Reed, Republican National Committeeman and co-chairman of Governor
Ronald Reagan's re-election campaign, said the Democratic gubernatorial
candidate's own record as a state assemblyman "proves he is incapable
of the leadership this state needs.
"For example," Reed said, "Unruh was present in the Assembly only
four days in June and three days in July when the Legislature was
acting upon some of the most crucial legislation ever to be considered.
"In May, he spent only two days in the Assembly and, in all, he
was absent at least 96 days during the session."
Reed noted that Unruh drew his full salary, despite his absenteeism.
"This means California taxpayers were forced to pay him, during
that three-month period, about $444 for each day he worked - which
would represent an annual salary rate of more than $162,000,' Reed
said. "That's pretty big - even for Big Daddy."

"How can he expect the voters to believe his promises of
superior leadership when he has compiled such a completely irrespon-
sible, citizens-be-damned record? Does he now want us to believe
he will suddenly change his ways is he is elected governor?
"California simply cannot afford a governor who is off vacation-
ing when the chips are down. And Jesse Unruh's recorded performance
shows that is exactly what could be expected if he were elected."

Bar Convention at Monterey and pledged he would do all he could to
remove the selection of judges from politics. He has kept this pledge.

the law -- in improving criminal procedures, in streamlining and
modernizing our divorce, probate and inheritance tax laws and prac-
tices; and has cooperated fully with the bench and the bar in
improving the machinery of our courts.

FOR RELEASE TO SUNDAY (8/30/70) PAPERS
LOS ANGELES -- "ASSEMBLYMAN JESSE UNRUH'S REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL
LEGISLATIVE SESSION ON TAX REFORM," THOMAS C. REED SAID YESTERDAY,
"RAISES AN INTRIGUING QUESTION: WOULD HE ATTEND?"
REED, REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN AND CO-CHAIRMAN OF GOV-
ERNOR RONALD REAGAN'S RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN, EARLIER THIS WEEK CRIT-
ICIZED THE DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL CANJDATE FOR SHOWING UP FOR WORK
IN THE ASSEMBLY NO MORE THAN NINE DAYS DURING THE LEGISLATURE'S
BUSIEST THREE MONTHS THIS YEAR.
REED NOTED UNRUH'S RECENT CHIDING OF REAGAN FOR DEFEAT BY "A RE-
PUBLICAN LEGISLATURE" OF HIS TAX REFORM LEGISLATION. IT WOULD HAVE
PROVIDED UP TO 40 PERCENT CUTS IN HOME-OWNER PROPERTY TAXES, TO
BE FINANCED BY INCREASED TAXES ON OIL PRODUCERS, BANKS AND A ONE-
CENT SALES TAX BOOST.
"BECAUSE OF BIG DADDY'S LEGISLATIVE GERRYMANDER OF 1961 AND PER-
SONAL TRAGEDIES AFFECTING LEGISLATORS OF BOTH PARTIES," REED SAID,
"NEITHER PARTY HAS HAD AN EFFECTIVE MAJORITY."
THE SENATE HAS 21 REPUBLICANS AND 19 DEMOCRATS. THE ASSEMBLY
HAS 40 REPUBLICANS AND 39 DEMOCRATS.

IN THE SENATE. NOW IS THE TIME TO LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE HOW THEY
FEEL APOUT THESE LEGISLATORS AND THEIR GOVERNOR. "
REED ACCUSED UNRUH OF SEEKING A SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION
BECAUSE "JESSE CAN'T STAND THE HEAT OF PUBLIC EXAMINATION. VV
99 E WANTS TO HIDE OUT IN THE FAMILIAR COOL CATACOMBS OF THE
LEGISLATURE," REED SAID, "WITH ALL HIS OLD TOYS -- THE LEVERS,

However, he stands behind all material contained in this\nas a public statement by him.\n-0-\nOf all Californians, you folks here in Fresno should know that\nwater was one of the prime factors - along with work and capital and\nsweat and tears -- that transformed the San Joaquin Valley into the\nnation's vegetable garden. Without water, the crops on these rich\nagricultural fields would wither -- some areas would dry up and blow\naway.\nThe California Water Project must be completed if we are to\nprovide water for agriculture and the continued flow of foods and\nfibers -- not only to Californians but to millions of people through-\nout the nation, and even foreign lands.\nLet me cite a few examples to show how important this industry\nis to California.\nOne out of every three jobs in California is related to agricul-\nture and agri-business contributes $16 billion to the State's economy.\nFor every 10 Californians employed in agriculture, 26 more are\nemployed in other industries such as processing, transportation,\nagricultural finance, canning and selling.\nMore than 400 million cartons and 40 million wooden boxes and\n1.3 billion glass jars and 5 billion cans are manufactured in California\nMORE\nFRESNO / page 2\nand used yearly for packing California produce.\nMore than enough food labels are printed to stretch to the moon\nand back.\nMore than half a billion dollars is spent each year to ship\nCalifornia farm products, and this accounts for a third of the total\nrailroad tonnage and one half of all truck business in this state.\nWater is the key to this vast industry, water is the life blood of its\nfuture.\nRight now about $600 million in water project bonds cannot be\nsold because the tight money market prevents us from selling these\nbonds at the existing five percent ceiling. To remove this roadblock,\nProposition Seven was put on the June ballot. It would permit us to\nincrease the interest rate ceiling up to seven percent -- if the\ninterest rate ever went that high -- and it would enable us to sell\nthose bonds and complete the project, as well as bonds for public\nschool construction, veterans home loans, beaches and parks and junior\ncolleges -- all of which have already been approved by the voters.\nSome, who are opposed to the water project, are urging the public\nto vote \"No\" on Proposition Seven.\nThis opposition is short-sighted. It is destructive. It could\nwreck California's economy. As one San Francisco paper put it, a\ncall for a \"No\" vote is \"a call to taxpayers to line up at the voting\nbooth and cut their own throats.\"\nWhether you voted for or against the State Water Project bonds\nback in 1960, the fact remains that today it is not up for a vote; it\nis no longer an idea -- it is a 90 percent completed fact. More than\n$1.4 billion of public bond money has been already spent or committed.\nFRESNO / page 3\nWater deliveries are already being made as far south as Kern county.\nPower is already being generated at the dams which are an integral\npart of the project. The money from the sale of water and power are\nthe sources of revenue to pay back the projects bonded indebtedness.\nIf Proposition Seven were to fail and we had to shut down the\nproject, it would not only turn off the faucet for the Valley -- it\nwould mean that the taxpayers would have to pay back most of the money\nalready spent and already received from the various water agencies that\nhave bonded and taxed themselves to support the cost of the construction\nin advance of water delivery.\nAt the present time, it would cost the taxpayers more to stop\nthe project than it will to complete it.\nHalting the project would cost $2 billion in principal and\ninterest and the taxpayer would be stuck with most of that bill.\nWe in Sacramento would have no choice but to find some other way to\nfund the project -- at least on a temporary basis, until the money\nmarket changed or the voters approved another request for raising the\ninterest ceiling.\nToo many people have worked too hard for too many years to build\nthis great valley to let it dry up. Too many people depend too much\non the food and fibers from the fields of this great and fertile area\nto let it wither away. We must not force the consumer to turn to\nother areas and higher prices just because someone turned off your\nwater.\nOne of the real travesties in all of this is that much of the\nopposition to the water project has been mixed up in concern about\nprotecting environment. Those who buy that line are being hoodwinked.\nWhere is the conservation in lost crops? Where is the environmental\nMORE\nFRESNO / page 4\npreservation in fields that turn brown and soil that blows away for\nlack of water? Can anyone claim they are protecting the environment\nby proposing that areas of this great valley be allowed to revert to\ndry and fruitless plains?\nThere are some who claim that the water project is simply a great\nscheme to rob Northern California of its water just to fill the swim-\nming pools of Los Angeles.\nAs Governor of this State, I would never be a party to robbing\nthe North of its water. The water transported by the project is\nsurplus water -- winter flood water -- which over the years has run\nunchecked through the Golden Gate and into the Pacific to be wasted\nforever.\nLess than half of the water in the project goes through the\nTehachapis -- more than half will be used here in the Valley, and in\nthe San Francisco Bay area.\nI urge you to vote \"Yes\" on Proposition Seven -- not just to\nprotect the best interests of this great Valley, but to help insure\nthe future of California.\n###\n4/3/70\nCommittee to Re-Elect\nGOVERNOR\nBUREAU\nREAGAN\n1.

However, he stands behind all material contained in this\nas a public statement by him.\n-0-\nJust about four years ago, you and I and hundreds of thousands of\nCalifornians started a grass roots movement in California politics.\nWe termed it the Creative Society but, in truth, it was nothing more\nor less than a commitment to common sense and a pledge to get government\noff our backs.\nWe are on temporary duty in public service - but first of all, we\nare citizens.\nWe had come to a time of decision, 2. time for choosing, and the path\nwe had determined to follow turned away from any idea that government and\nthose who serve it were omniscient or omnipotent.\nWe made no deals. We were sick and tired of wheelers and dealers\nand schemes and schemers and those who pander faulty premises and empty\npromises.\nAt no time did we say that we would keep on doing what the other\nfellows had been doing, but just do it more cheaply. We disagreed with\nhat they had been doing.\nMORE\nLOS ANGELES / page 2\nOur onl\" commitment was that government must again be what it once\nwas - of and by, as well 2.13 for, the people. Our belief then, and now,\nis that the seat of government was not in Sacramento or Washington, but\nin the homes and hearts and vision of the people. Government is the\npeople's business and ve, the people, must run government or government\nwill arely run us.\n'rex dream, if you will, was a state where liberty under law and\njustice could triumph, compassion would govern and the people would par-\nticipate, grow and prosper because of government policies and not in\nspite of them.\nAnd in 1966 --- after eight years of an administration which was\nfrequently wrong but seldom in doubt -- we were given a mandate to get\ngovernment back in shape, back to its proper purposes which, very simply,\nis to exist solely for the convenience of the people.\nNow you have a proprietary interest in this administration - and a\nright to know just how far we've come in fulfilling that mandate.\nNo one pretends that the job is completely accomplished or that we\nare anywhere near satisfied. You can't rebuild in months - or a few\nyears - what it took others years to disassemble.\n*\nDuring our first three years, we passed some of the most significant\ncrime legislation in more. than a decade.\nWe sought and supported tougher laws to crack down on the dope peddler\nand the narcotics pusher and appointed a statewide coordinator to pull\nthese programs togesher into an all-out war against arugs and narcotics -\n& war we Intend to win!\nLOS ANGELES / page 3\nYou have often heard 100 say that no government has ever voluntarily\nreduced itself in size. Well, We may just be the first one to do it.\nWe have moved from ninth lowest among the states in the cost of\ngovernment per capita to fifth lowest. And this is one place where we\nwant to be Number One.\nWe don't subscribe to the theory that you rate the quality of gov-\nernment simply by the quantity of the taxpayers' money it spends. Like\nmost things in life, good government should be based on quality, not\nquantity.\n*\n1 didn't have to go to Sacramento to be converted to preserving the\nmagic of California. Anybody who has been riding horseback over the\ntrails and the hills of this state for years knows how important it is to\npreserve our environment. For more than three years now, we have been\ntaking the lead in protecting our environment.\nBut protecting and improving the environment is more than just stope\nping things or changing things. It's building things - the right things,\nWe must maintain the proper balance between the extremes which say no\nmore roads, no more industries, no more people, and the extreme which\nwould justify everything and anything in the name of progress.\nEight now. for example, there are those who would try to scuttle\nthe California Water Project by defeating Proposition 7 on the June\nballot.\nMORE\nLOS ANGELES / page 4\nThe California Water Project is essential for the continued progress\nand prosperity of the state. Yet there are those who oppose it in the\nname of environment. I see no protection of the environment in fields\nthat are allowed to dry up because of a lack of water, or crops that fail\nor towns that die because the faucet is turned off. I see no protection\nof the environment in destroying the bread-basket of the state or in pre-\nventing the development of new areas in Southern California so that our\npopulation can be dispersed into new towns and new creas,\nThose who call for a \"No\" vote on Proposition 7 are asking the\nvoters to cut their own throats. Ninety percent of the project is com-\npleted or under construction. It would cost us more to halt the water pro-\nject than to complete it. And, if it is shut down, more than $2 billion\nin debt and principal would be transferred to the general taxpayers'\nbacks taxes that would have been paid by the water users and customers\nwho use the power generated by the project.\nAnd, included in the hold-up on those bond sales, are monies needed\nfor schools and veterans' home loans, beaches and parks and junior colleges.\nIf we are really concerned about the future of California, we will\npass Proposition 7 and let the state compete in the ebb and flow of the\nfree warket on bonds.\n*\n*\nFor the first time in more than 30 years, ye have introduced legis-\nlation to overhaul the state's tax structure. This program would guarantee\na reduction of the homeowners' property tax ranging from 25 to 40 percent,\ndepenitng on the value of the home and its location in the state.\nMORE\nLOS ANGELES / page 5\nIn Los Angeles Country, the 1969-70 average tax rate of $9.93 would\nbe cut to $7.22 - a 27 percent reduction for the homeowner,\nThere are those who counseled us not to get into tax reform in an\nelection year. They warned it isn't the political thing to do.\nBut this is no time for politics 33 usual.\nYou wanted 2. difference. We have started the long climb out of a\nbottomless bureaucratic pit.\nIf the recent polls are accurate, it would seem there is support for\nour efforts. We are on the way to building a new majority in this state -\na majority which will continue to speak affirmatively about individual\ndignity, which will keep itself fastened to basic common sense values and\nthe precept that each individual is entitled to the full rewards of his\nlabor, and that the initiative of free citizens in free enterprise is the\nmainspring of human progress, that each man counts and is likewise\naccountable.\nWe do this - not because it is the politically smart thing to do\n- but because it is the morally right thing to do.\nEverything we have worked for since 1958 ---- everything we have\nplanned for and built for - can happen this year.\nRepublicans stand on the brink of success!\n# # #\n4/8/70 SF #56\nCommittee to Re-Elect\nGOVERNOR\nNEWS BUREAU\nREAGAN\nMcCOY, Assistant Director\nJACK S.

However, he stands behind all material contained in\nthis as a public statement by him.\n-0-\nA week ago this morning the state universities and colleges were\nclosed for four days at my request.\nAt that time, I suggested to the great majority of students and\nfaculty - those of goodwill, those who believe there is a better way\nthan the torch and the club - that they take those four days to re-\nview both their aspirations and their responsibilities, and that they\nuse the four days as a time of sober reflection, and prayerful evalu-\nation. I spoke specifically to them because I believe they are the\nbest hope for restoring academic sanity and freedom to our campuses.\nAnd, I suggested that when they returned to school last Monday\nmorning, it could mark a new beginning - a new time on our campuses:\na time of dialogue and discussion without destruction, an honest, non-\nviolent search for answers and solutions, and the pursuit of knowledge.\nMORE\nSAN JOSE / page 2\nI think all Californians can be proud of the way the vast\nmajority of students and faculty responded. There was -- and is -\nrelative quiet on most of our campuses. Today, throughout the two\nhigher educational systems, anywhere from 75 to 90 percent of the\nstudents are attending classes. I hope and pray that this does mark\na new beginning - a new era:\nNow there are some a relative few who want to skip classes\nfor the rest of the year and spend their full-time on political\nactivities. That is their choice to make. But, they should not be\ngiven credit or passing grades for the courses they do not complete,\nor the classes they do not attend.\nPerhaps we could understand that some students will always try\nto get credit for not going to class, or a passing grade for a course\nthey did not complete. But, I cannot understand how some faculty\nmembers - upon whom part of the integrity of the educational system\ndepends - could aid and abet this. Could it be that these faculty\nmembers are telling us something about the educational value of the\nclasses they teach?\n(The vast majority of) students should not be forced to curtail\ntheir education and to suspend their progress toward a degree and a\nprofession so that a few can engage in political activities.\nThe taxpayers of California should not be asked to support\neducational institutions which substitute political rallies and\nprecinct work for academic courses.\nMORE\nSAN JOSE / page 3\nI know that there are many sincere students on our campuses who\nfeel they have legitimate grievances - some with the university or\nthe colleges, some with the shortcomings in our society. Many find\nthe war repugnant. They want to do something about it -- to make\ntheir feelings known and their presence felt. I share their belief\nin citizen action.\nBut, I think those who feel strongly about the various issues\nhave plenty of opportunity to engage in such political activity on their\nown time - after hours, on weekends and vacations. That's the way\nmost hard-working, tax-paying citizens do.\nTo permit our campuses to become havens for political action -\nregardless of the issue or the ideology involved - would be to erode\nthe value of the education received. It would degrade the academic\nexcellence these institutions have earned over the years. Carried to\nits ultimate conclusion, it could transform great academies into\nlittle more than finishing schools for mobocracy.\nIf this is to become the purpose of the college and university,\nthere is no need for faculties or libraries or laboratories. Masters\ndegrees and PhD's, cyclotrons and computers, are hardly essential\nunder such circumstances. I do not belittle political action or being\nconcerned about current issues. But the point I make is that they\nare not something to be subsidized by the taxpayer; and, they are\nhardly a prerequisite for a higher education.\nMORE\nSAN JOSE / page 4\nThe passions of the moment, no matter how earnestly pursued,\ncannot replace the grave obligation of student and faculty member\nto examine, improve and extend centuries of knowledge, tradition and\nculture. The failure to lead the inquiring minds of students in the\nsearch for truth and progress is the supreme crime of an age. This\nhas happened upon occasion in man's history and it has caused untold\nand unnecessary misery -- one such period is called the Dark Ages.\nI believe the great number of students and faculty want to con-\ncentrate on the higher purpose of higher education; there can be no\nadulteration of that purpose. Those who do not feel they can accept\nthis - those who would rather give full-time to other activities -\nshould step aside. There are many others standing in line, hoping\nfor the opportunity to get an education. And these, we taxpayers\nare more than willing to assist,\n# # #\nSF-#84 5/14/70\n83\nCommittee to Re-Elect\nGOVERNOR\nNEWS BUREAU\nREAGAN\nIAN\nJ. McCOY, Assistant Director\nJACK S.

However, he stands behind all material contained in\nthis as a public statement by him.\n-0-\nIf Proposition 7 does not pass, we can have fiscal chaos in\nCalifornia. The failure of this important proposition would affect\nvirtually every phase of every citizen's life in this state. The only\npossible exception, as the Oakland Tribune put it, would be \"a 4-F,\nchildless hermit living in a cave in the middle of the Mojave desert,\nsubsisting on goat's milk.\"\nRight here in Stanislaus County, for example, some $14.5 million\nin development and construction projects depends on the passage of\nProposition 7.\nFor some time now, we have had to hold up construction of $2.25\nmillion in local school construction because of the existing low interest\nceiling. I'm talking about such projects as the Vera Cruz Avenue school\nhere in Modesto, the intermediate school in Ceres, and the Reinway\nAvenue school in Waterford.\nMORE\nMODESTO / page 2\nAnd, there's the $50,000 Tuolumne River Regional Park\ndevelopment, here in Modesto 35 acres of lands and meadow areas,\npicnic and camping facilities.\nDeserving veterans here in your county are being denied home\ncontracts, despite the fact that the voters approved bonds for\nveterans' home loans - $3.8 million in veteran home loan bond money\nfor Stanislaus County is tied up because the present low interest ceil-\ning makes it impossible to sell those already-approved bonds.\nAnd, there's the $8.6 million for the Modesto and Turlock\nIrrigation districts' new Don Pedro project. The grant for this rec-\nreation, fish and wildlife project have been approved, but the project\nsits idle -- and will continue to sit idle for an undetermined period\nunless Proposition 7 is approved.\nNearly $1.3 billion in State general obligation bonds - approved\nby the voters in previous elections -- are tied up because of the\nnationwide tight money market. This is holding back vital state\nbuilding programs, it is delaying progress in our state, it is depres-\nsing the work market at a time where we are striving to create jobs\nand job opportunities.\nThe passage of Proposition 7 would enable us to adjust the\npresent five percent interest ceiling up to seven percent who neces-\nsary to compete in the market place. Right now, 24 states have no\ninterest rate limitations and only two other states have interest\nceilings as low as five percent.\nMORE\nMODESTO / page 3\nThere are those who are seeking to delay, or disrupt, the\nstate water project by working for the defeat of Proposition 7.\nEveryone here - everyone in this great Central Valley - knows the\nimportance of the water project to the future of the area, and to\nthe future of this state. The travesty is that some oppose the water\nproject -- and thus Proposition 7 - in the name of ecology, protecting\nthe environment.\nWhere is the protection of the environment in fields that revert\nto alkalai beds; or crops that wither for want of water; or towns\nthat suffer economic set-backs because farmers and cattlemen are\nunable to stay in business?\nSchools, junior colleges, veterans, parks and recreation - as\nwell as construction of the water project - make it essential that\nwe support Proposition 7 on June second.\n# # #\nSF #87 5/19/70\nCommittee to Re-Elect\nGOVERNOR\nREAGAN\nNEWS BUREAU\nJANE.
