WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

June 2, 1987
The Honorable R. Clayton Mitchell, Jr.
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 339.

This bill provides that the Board of Trustees of the State
Retirement and Pension Systems needs to approve only certain
types of Option 4 retirements.

Senate Bill 91, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on June 2, 1987, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 339.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
