EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

June 1, 1973.

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 Constitution,
I have today vetoed Senate Bill 681.

This bill would require the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore
City to offer driver education to high school students in the Baltimore
City public school system.

I have been informed by the sponsor of this bill that it would cost
Baltimore City an additional $505,000. Because these funds are presently
unavailable for this program, the Sponsor has requested that the bill be
vetoed. I have received a similar request from the Mayor of Baltimore
City.

Consequently, I have decided to veto Senate Bill 681 at the request
of the sponsor and the Mayor of Baltimore City.

Sincerely,

MARVIN MANDEL,
Governor.
