Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 726.

This bill provides that a person may not establish, operate,
advertise, or promote a pyramid promotional scheme.

Senate Bill 7, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 29, 1984, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 726.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
