Senate Bill No. 886—Operation of Friendship Airport

AN ACT to add a new paragraph to Section 6 of the Charter and
Public Local Laws of Baltimore City (1949 Edition), being Article
4 of the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland, title "Baltimore
City," subtitle "General Powers," and to Article II of the Charter
of Baltimore City (1964 Revision), title "General Powers," to be
headed "(50) Friendship International Airport," generally author-
izing the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City by ordinance
to create an agency or instrumentality of the Mayor and City Council
of Baltimore City for or in connection with the operation of Friend-
ship International Airport, and to authorize said agency or instru-
mentality of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City to
issue bonds, notes or other obligations, the interest and principal
of which shall be payable solely from revenues.

May 26, 1970.

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

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Con-
stitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 886.

This bill authorizes the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore
City to provide by ordinance for the creation of an agency to oper-
ate, control and develop Friendship International Airport.

The bill is inconsistent with Senate Bill 633 which was enacted
by the General Assembly and was signed by me on May 5, 1970.
Senate Bill 633 establishes a joint State-Baltimore City agency to
operate Friendship International Airport under a lease from Balti-
more City. Obviously, two different agencies cannot perform the
same functions in connection with the Airport.

It is my understanding that Senate Bill 886 was introduced only
because of the possibility that Senate Bill 633 might not be enacted.
Since Senate Bill 633 was enacted and signed, and since the two
bills are inconsistent, I believe that Senate Bill 886 must be vetoed.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.
