I am presently serving the balance of a four-year term, having been appointed in December of 1982 upon my retirement from the California State Assembly . I have been associated in and involved with transportation policy making for the past twelve years . During six of those years , from 1974-1980 , 1 was chairman of the Assembly Transportation Committee . As chairman of that import-ant committee , I was privileged to author a variety of legislation , rangingfrom the creation of local county commissions to the I mandating of transit labor efficiencies , culminating in the passage of Assembly Bill 402 ( Alquist-Ingalls Act ) . That landmark legislation 1 U 0t only created the California Transportation as the successor to the various boart's and commissions, which previously had dealt with transportation financing and planning , but also created the system of inter-relationships bet,ween state and local government which is the framework for today ' s transportation planning and financing _decision making for the State of California . As the architect of the 402 process and the father"' of the California Transportation Commission , . I have a strong paternalistic interest in seeing that our transportation decision-making process is a successful December S , 1984 Page Two one . I also share your strong belief that the people of the State of California deserve the best transportation facilities and opportunities that their tax dollars afford them. As an advocate for expanding the transportation opportunities for the people of the State of California , I found myself in strong disagreement with the previous administration ' s priorities and was frequently at odds with the former Director of the Department of Transportation and an outspoken critic of the Brown Administration ' s lack of support for transportation . Because your prede- cessor did not have the commitment to transportation that you and I share , the 402 process was not allowed to work until you came to office with new direction and new personnel . I find this an exciting time to be involved in the work of the California Transportation Commission . It is a pleasure to see the process which I authored finally work , and work well . My sincere request is to be allowed to continue to be a part of this exciting and successful venture . Because I was appointed by the previous Governor ( over the strong objections of his close supporters ) and then only for the two-year balance of a a four-year term, I have not been able to participate as actively and as freely in the deliberations and the business of the Commission as I would like . (Although due to seniority and rotation I am next in line to be a vice-chairman of the Co-unission , I have deferred to one of your appointees as the more appropriate choice . ) Should I receive the favor of ;'our appointment , i would be able to participate even more actively and fully in the Cormission ' s deliber- ations . Although I would be greatly honored by your reappointing ne to the Commission , the desire for the elevated status that comes with holding high public office is not my overriding consideration . I believe I can make a significant contribution to the activities of the California Transportation Commission . I sincerely believe 77y reappointment would be a credit to your administration , December 5 , 1984 rate Three as well as a service to the people of the State of California , In that spirit , I respectfully request reappointment to the California Transportation Commission. Respectfully submitted , -- CALI FOR.' A T RAN SPO-, TION COMMISSION Walter M . Incall s Member IMI :c1s
