RONALD
REAGAN’S GOVERNOR’S PAPERS
AGENCY FILES: BUSINESS AND TRANSPORTATION: Files,
1966-1970
(Preliminary Inventory)
During Ronald Reagan’s
first term as Governor of California, the executive branch of
The following State
departments reported to the Secretary of the Business and Transportation
Agency: Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Department of Aeronautics,
State Banking Department, Department of Corporations, Department of California
Highway Patrol, Department of Housing and Community Development, Department of
Insurance, Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Public Works, Department
of Real Estate, Department of Savings and Loan.
This
collection is arranged into three series. Given the size and responsibilities
of this agency, the collection is unusually small. There are no correspondence files and subject
files as you would expect to find in a collection of this type. The material reflects the activities of only
one of its Secretaries, Gordon Luce, which is incomplete and appears to have
been received after the fact. It has yet
to be determined if the activities of the other Secretaries and this agency is
documented elsewhere in the Reagan Gubernatorial Papers.
SERIES I: GORDON LUCE FILES, 1967-1969 (-1 l.ft.,
These files consist of
items regarding Gordon Luce, who served as Secretary of the Business and
Transportation agency from 1967 to 1969.
This material appears to have been received from Luce after Governor
Reagan left office in 1974. There is a
file of original letters from Reagan to Luce most of which were received after
1969. The materials also consists of
press releases and newspaper clippings regarding Luce and the Agency,
photographs, a campaign brochure, a May 1969 summary of the accomplishments of
the Agency, and a copy of a report by the Governor’s Task Force on
Transportation.
SERIES II: ACCOMPLISHMENTS SUMMARIES, 1966-1973
(-1 l.ft.,
Box 1-2)
This series consists of
the memorandums and papers each department within the Business and
Transportation Agency prepared reporting on the goals and accomplishments of
said department. Many of the summaries
dealt with the progress made on implementing the recommendations that had been
made in the Governor’s Survey on Efficiency and Cost Control. There are also summaries regarding the
progress made in implementing new legislation that effected the departments.
This material includes a detailed report issued by the Department of Motor
Vehicles covering 1967 through 1973.
SERIES III: PUBLICATIONS, 1967-1974 (1 l.ft.,
This series consists of
a variety of publications that were prepared by many, but not all, of the
departments within the Business and Transportation Agency. Most of the publications are from the
Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) and the Department of Public Works. Many of the publications consist of reports
that are required by state law.
