1969]                   OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES                          9

It seems sensible to ask the sponsors of this measure to refer this bill to the Council for study at the same time. I also pledge the cooperation of this office with County authorities to make certain that no Federal funds are lost in the interim.

For the above reasons I am compelled to veto this measure.

Sincerely,

/s/ Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor. Read and journalized.
