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 1567.

This bill provides a mechanism for savings banks to acquire
savings and loan associations and reorganize into a mutual
holding company and a subsidiary savings bank. A savings and
loan association must be insured by the State of Maryland Deposit
Insurance Fund to be eligible for acquisition by a savings bank.

Senate Bill 669, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 13, 1986, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 1567.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
