Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 431.

This bill expands the type of offenses for which certain
investigative or law enforcement officers and persons acting in a
criminal investigation may intercept a wire, oral, or electronic
communication for the purpose of providing evidence of the
commission of the offense to include "rape, a sexual offense in
the first or second degree, and child abuse."

House Bill 1211, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 19, 1989, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 431.
