having read the record file'. This would give carte blanche authority
to the Commissioners to approve the action of the Hearing Emaniner
or Board without being familiar with the subject matter.

The sponsor of the Bill, Delegate Benner, has informed me that, in light
of the County Commissioners' position, he has no strong objection to
vetoing the Bill.

Consequently, I have decided to veto House Bill 964 at the request of
the County Commissioners of Calvert County.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.
