Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Con-
stitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1157.

This bill provides for the awarding of grants-in-aid to students
who are enrolled in various institutions of higher learning in "educa-
tional programs related to the teaching profession***."

The Attorney General has advised me that the title of House Bill
1157 is defective and thereby renders the bill unconstitutional. For
the reasons given in the attached copy of the Attorney General's
opinion, which is to be considered a part of this message, I believe that
this measure must be vetoed.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.
