The Honorable Melvin A. Steinberg
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 536.

This bill requires the Secretary of Personnel to give credit
to applicants for employment with the Division of Correction who
are residents of counties in the State that have experienced a
certain unemployment rate.

House Bill 1123, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 21, 1985, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 536.
