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 791.

This bill alters the minimum term to which a defendant must
be sentenced before the Parole Commission may request the
Division of Parole and Probation to conduct a parole
investigation.

House Bill 1518, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 15, 1984, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 791.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
