Description

Members of Modesto City Schools' Inter-High Student Council ask Governor Ronald Reagan questions in the room where Reagan holds press conferences. Part of a televised series of question-and-answer sessions with high school students conducted by Ronald Reagan as governor of California, relating to California state political issues.

Sequence: This program has no clear-cut beginning and end. Content begins with Reagan's voice chatting off-air (00:26), visuals begin with view of students (00:35), and Reagan begins formal remarks (00:45) followed by a superimposed program title (00:50). First question, on capital punishment (02:20), last question, about abortion, is partially lost due to dropout (29:18), but picks up again (29:31). Reagan indicates program is over (30:35), but takes another question, but footage ends abruptly before he replies.

30 seconds of color bars at beginning, then audio comes in before video. Color shift, jumpy images, and dropout due to deterioration of original tape. Image and sound dropout from 00:29:18 - 00:29:32.
