Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 753.

This bill requires institutions to test donors of semen, blood,
or tissue specimens for human immunodeficiency virus antibodies.

House Bill 712, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 27, 1988, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 753.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Senate Bill No. 753
