The Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 520.

This bill alters to a certain length the minimum size of the
oysters that an oyster diver must cull and replace on certain
oyster bars.

Senate Bill 366, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 28, 1985, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 520.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
