Reagan faces uncertain support as presidential bid looms
Reagan aides say defections from his California base will not decide his fate if he seeks the 1978 Republican nomination. Peter Hannaford notes many defectors were not important, while Reagan hopes strong public support could carry him past Ford. An announcement of a Reagan political committee to prep a run was expected in Washington.

Law allows local limit on campaign spending
Governor Brown allowed a law to take effect without his signature to empower intel agencies to set campaign spending limits for elections. The measure by Sen. Omer Rains of Ventura does not specify caps for agencies including school boards or individuals. An urgency clause enables immediate enforcement, with Brown warning that unreasonable limits can curb the flow of ideas vital to democracy.
