President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Constitution,
1 have today vetoed Senate Bill 952.

This bill authorizes a $70,000,000 State debt to provide grants for the

Therefore, it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate Bill 952.

Sincerely,

MARVIN MANDEL,
Governor.
