MAC PHERSON ATTORNEY AT LAW 376 DIABLO COURT PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA 94306 TELEPHONE 321-0627 December 31, 1970 Mr. Frank C. Carlucci Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity 1200 19th Street N.W. Washington, D.C. 20506 Dear Mr. Carlucci: I wish to express my concern over Governor Ronald Reagan's veto of the $1.8 million grant to the California Rural Legal Assistance program, and to urge you to override this veto to keep this valuable program alive. Few programs funded by the Federal government have been so continuously effective in making fundamental changes in the lives of the poor and disadvantaged. To out the funds from this program because it is effective and sometimes politically embarrassing to Governor Reagan is to tell the poor that only those programs that are ineffective will be countenanced by the government. Groups denied effective access to the courts eventually turn to other less civilized ways of advancing their interests. To avoid this possibility and to further the ideals behind the Economic Opportunity Act, I urgo you to fund the California Rural Legal Assistance program. Very truly yours, alan H. MarPherson Alan H. MacPherson CC. Governor Reagan CRLA, San Francisco Ifollister Calf Dec. 18, 1970. Iforoable yoversor Aeagan. Dearsin: I am a farmer and taxpayer, and very much upposed to the budget for the C.R.

HAMMER TELEPHONE (408) 298-4606 CABLE ADDRESS "TRIAL" MICHAEL J. EZGAR ROBERT T. BLEDSOE PERRY A. IRVINE GEORGE A. SANBROOK RICHARD SUCH December 21, 1970 Mr. Frank Carlucci Director, Office of Economic Opportunity 1200 19th Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. 20506 Dear Mr. Carlucci: As shown by the enclosed letter, the incumbent officers of our County Bar Association have asked members of our County Bar Association to write letters urging support of the continuance of the California Rural Legal Assistance program. So far as I am concerned, there is a legal aid program supplied by the County Bar Association and the continued steps toward socialism of our profession are not in the best interests of either the legal profession or the poor. This very morning, representing a poor person on a contingent basis, who was injured by an uninsured motorist, I found myself opposed by the County Legal Aid attorney who had just served on my poor, injured plaintiff 70 to 80 interrogatories. I would honestly hope that that friendly legal service would be available to all poor and not on a first service basis. I am personally opposed to much of the philosophy of California Rural Legal Assistance, and resent having to pay taxes for free lawyers supporting a philosophical point of view which is not mine, and frequently not the majority of the defendants of this state or nation. I would rather see the money spent on effective indus- trial safety programs through the California Department of Labor. Very truly yours, WROMY WRM: rbw W.

SILVA ATTORNEY AT LAW 210 NORTH FOURTH STREET JAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA 95112 DECESITO CALIF Ronald Regan, Governor State of California Capitol Building Sacramento, California 95814 Street, Suite 1205, San Jose, California. They strongly urgea that I write you to endorse the CRLA program in San Benito County. I am, however, obliged to write you that, in my opinion, the CRLA does not seem concerned with individual client problems, but, rather, with "impact" cases and class actions. They seem to prefer representing a faceless group, rather than individuals. This, in my estimation, is not practicing law; rather, it is glory hunting When one purports to be involved in a humanistic effort to help his fellow man, he should be concerned with that individual's immediate problem and not in searching for admitional problems of the same nature to produce an impact case or class action. The little ordinary everyday problems seem to escare CRLA and hey seem to have forgotten the individual. The general attitude of most of the members of the Bar toward CRLA and, in particular, Mr. Kates is unfavorable. This is largely due to his abrasive and somewhat crude manner. But enough of personal likes and dislikes. Were CRLA under the control of the bar association, or represent individuals, rather than groups, I would have a much different attitude. I feel the Legal Aid Society of Santa Clara County does a much better job of representing indigent clients and does not alienate members of the local bar in doing so. Mr. Kates has, in the past, exhibited conduct which I would consider unlawyerlike. You will note I did not state unprofessional, merely unlawyerlike. A.J.
