Honorable Steny H. Hoyer
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 731.

This bill establishes a Homeowner's Tax Credit Program.

House Bill 1168, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 2, 1978, accomplishes the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate Bill
731.

Sincerely,
Blair lee III
Acting Governor
