May 4, 1967.

Honorable William S. James
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Section 17 of Article II of the Maryland
Constitution, I have vetoed today Senate Bill 435 and am returning
it to you.

This bill would extend to graduates of dental schools in former
territories or possessions of the United States the right to apply for
examination by the Maryland Board of Dental Examiners to practice
dentistry. In practical effect, the only jurisdiction affected is the
Philippine Islands.

The Board of Dental Examiners, The American Dental Associ-
ation and other professional groups have urged me to veto the
measure, pointing out that no other state in the Nation accepts for
examination graduates of dental schools outside of the United States
and Canada; that the bill would give a professionally unmerited
preference to Philippine-trained dentists over other foregin-trained
dentists; and finally, that to permit persons to practice dentistry
without further training following graduation from a school over
which the American Dental Association exercises no control or per-
suasion from the standpoint of curriculum would inevitably lower the
standards of dentistry to which the citizens of Maryland are entitled.

For these reasons, I am compelled to veto the bill.

Sincerely yours,

(s) Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor.
