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 939.

This bill alters the number and composition of members the
Governor is required to appoint to the Education Accountability
Task Force.

Senate Bill 389, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on April 9, 1985, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 939.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
