May 6, 1966.

Honorable Marvin Mandel
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with the provisions of Article 2, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1169.

This Bill would establish the grade or rank of Trooper Cadet
within the Department of Maryland State Police. The Commissioner
of Personnel and the Superintendent of the Maryland State Police
have recommended that the same be vetoed. They point out that
the Bill is vague and unclear as to the responsibilities of the Com-
missioner of Personnel and could be demoralizing to the members
of the Maryland State Police who might be receiving different rates
of pay and yet perform the same duties. They further point out
that the matter could better be handled administratively rather
than through legislation.

For the foregoing reasons, I am vetoing House Bill 1169.
With kindest regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

(S) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.
