    Attention: George Goff

    Dear Sir:

    December 17, 1970

    I have been requested by the local Republican Central Committee Chairman to express my opinions of the activities of the CRLA to you. My knowledge of the activities of the CRLA is moderate, however, it seems to me that the CRLA has participated more in causes and class actions attempting societal change rather than aiding the individual. It seems that their main thrust is against governmental agencies and large corporations:

    They have used their field workers to my knowledge to drum up business. They threaten action against businessmen and public agencies. In many cases their charges were not substantiated and they were defeated. This causes many hard feelings in the process and the local community in my opinion is very disgusted with their acti vities--especially, when they see government money spent on the CRLA and the CRLA in turn suing govern-mental agencies.

    It is my opinion that many of their cases are taken in the light of the amount of publicity that can be drawn and thereby justify their existence. It was my understanding and I feel the general understanding of the public that the CRLA was formed to help the underprivileged citizen of poverty level, who could not afford attorneys' fees for legal problems. To my knowledge they have ddne very little for this class of people as individuals. They may have helped some in their class action cases.

    It would appear in this community that to be represented by the CRLA, you must be of Mexican descent. They represent or have represented very few Negroes and extremely few white people. In this area, we have many of all three classes at the poverty level.

The merits of the veto is a separate matter and should not be considered in the confirmation ~f the Federal Poverty Chief. Do you ·want your "Puppet" in charge of the Federal Poverty Programs?

    You have to be blind and completely oblivious. to ·what is going on in California and the re2t of the United States to not know that the Poverty Programs have not produced the desired resultso Some s?y, and rightly so, that the poverty pro2,ramfl h.1le been .a corrmlete failure. We have more peoole on ·welfare row than we dil when the poverty programs were ~Offi'Ilenced. The newspapers are full of reports of one poverty agency fighting with another poverty agency. The only time we hear about a program is when the time for funding arrives and the administrators threaten. revolution if the grant is not received. The poverty programs were designed for helping the poor and not as programs for poor college graduates who can't find anything to do but to administer poverty programs at big salaries. Legal aid programs were designed to help the poor and not as programs to aid poor lawyers. If you are.happy with the present Poverty Programs and the L~gal Aid Programs and the results achieved, your philosophy regarding said progr-c.rl"tS certainly differ;> with mi.ne.

    Gentlemen:

    I have been given to understand the funding for the next year, of the Ca 1 ifornia Rura 1 Leg a 1 Ass ist~nc;;e_, _ is . now being considered.

    ~,-~. -·· ~~·-

    In my opinion, this group has digressed far beyond its original charter,and the intent of Congress, which was to furnish legal assistance to a poor person who could not afford counsel. For instance, one of my clients asked to to file suit on a valid, legitimate debt totalling $118.61. Tho Madera office of California Rural Legal Assistance filed a 6 page Answer and 2 pages of Interrogatories at TAXPAYER'S espense. A middle-class, or even a wealthy defendant, could not afford such legal service on such a small account~

    I urge that the Governor veto any further funds or at least some restriction be imposed on the activities of California Rural Legal Assistance.

    Governor Ronald Reagan Sacramento, California

    Dear Governor Reagan:

    As a practicing attorney, I wish to commend you for the action taken by you in vetoing the fun~ing for CRLA. t--.--~

    . My reason for feeling this way is that it is my belief, and I know a lot of other attorneys agree with me, that CRLA and some of these other government funded legal assistance programs spend too much time on law reform and attempts at land mark cases to the neglect of the individual member of the poverty group who needs legal advice and legal service.

    I was on the Board of Directors of the locally funded government legal program for three years, and we were constantly being penalized in our funding because our organization did not do as much of the law reform and social work type of legal work as OEO thought we should do. OEO will deny this but, as a member of the Board, we were told on more than one occasion that our funds were reduced because we did not do more of this type of work and that we could get more money if we did do such type of work. The result is that many deserving members of the poverty group do not have their legal problems properly cared for because of the time spent on these other types of legal work.

    It is my belief that CRLA attempts to do social work and tries to bring about law reform rather than practice law, which they were originally funded to do. And CRLA bas been doing all of the things that it agreed

    Dear Mr. Governor,

    I am a Farmer in the Sab Jttaquin Valley and I would

    suggest that you disapprove the budget for C.R.L • .JJr,.

    as they are suppose to help the poor with legal aid,

    but they have been useing their offices to not only

    help the poor but they now have departed from their

    original concept and have been harrasing the Farmers

    through out the state, and I feel that my tax moneys

    can be used better ..

    I would like to complement you on you recent cut in

    the Medi-Cal program, though it may seam to hurt

    some medical institutions, I have note may abuse of

    program .. I feel that these people should be helped

    when in need and emergencys ans sickness, bu.t when

    they use the program for elective medi&ine and none

    essential medical service. I beleive much can be

    done to cut much of the over use.

    That there is need for pro _er legal help for ordinary people there is little room to doubt. But th::i.t the present C.R.L.A. program, as now conceived and operated, is such a legitimate program, is subject to serious questiono

    As one i-lho deals continually with the Spanish-speaking people,both as employer and as f;ither-cfionfessor, scribe and business man, I C"n only conclude that the present organization as now directed .g_nd operated, is devoted to social rev·olution and socio-economic rebuilding B.ccording to their ideas rather than to serving the common folk.

    As " tax-payer I objecto supporting "'n org:mization apparently devoted more to the support of forced farm-labor organizing 2.nd ex:ploi ting than to helping those who have persom.l problems.
