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 451.

This bill permits a municipal corporation whose employees
participate in the State employees' retirement or pension systems
to withdraw and transfer under certain circumstances certain
groups of employees to a local retirement system.

Senate Bill 90, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on April 29, 1987, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 451.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
