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 711.

This bill alters the jurisdictional limit on attachment
before judgment to make it comparable to other jurisdictional
limits for the District Court.

House Bill 569, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 8, 1984, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 711.
