Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 436 - Anne Arundel County - Wiley H. Bates High School Loan of
1997.

This bill amends Chapter 221 of the Acts of 1997 to require that the loan proceeds be
encumbered by the Board of Public Works or expended for the purposes provided in
the Act by June 1, 2005.

Senate Bill 399, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me April
13, 2004, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
House Bill 436.
