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 579.

This bill authorizes the governing body of Carroll County to
order the owner of a radio or television transmitting tower
equipped with a certain system of aviation obstruction lights to
install an alternate system of lighting, consistent with
applicable State and federal aviation regulations.

House Bill 1533, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 27, 1986, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 579.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
