HARRY HUGHES, Governor                                5187

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 984.

This bill authorizes the creation of a State Debt to be
used as a State grant to assist in the design and
construction of an expansion to the Montgomery County
Pre-Release Center.

House Bill 582, 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 984.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
