Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 264.

This bill provides that the minimum State pension for
beneficiaries of the Employees and Teachers Retirement
System who retired prior to 1958 with 30 years of service
shall be increased.

House Bill 481, which was passed by the General
Assembly and signed by me on June 1, 1982, accomplishes the
same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 264.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
