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 817.

This bill alters the name of the Advisory Commission on
Federal-Local Relations to be the Advisory Commission on
Federal-State-Local Relations.

Senate Bill 82, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 14, 1987, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 817.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

House Bill No. 817
