Maryland Mental Retardation Center; suspending the
provisions of Section 10 of Chapter 195 of the Acts of
1973 and Section 1(9) of Chapter 795 of the Acts of
1978 relating to the time by which projects contained
in the General Construction Loans of 1973 and 1978 must
be placed under contract insofar as either or both of
those provisions may relate to the item contained in
the amendment to Chapter 195 of the Acts of 1973 made
in Section 2 of Chapter 795 of the Acts of 1978 for
Board of Public Works - Annapolis - to supplement the
appropriation for the design and preparation of

Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 2005.

This bill extends the time by which projects included
in the General Construction Loans of 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976,
1977, 1978 and the Maryland State Budget for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1979 must be placed under contract.

Senate Bill 719, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 27, 1980 accomplishes the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill
2005.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
