The Honorable R. Clayton Mitchell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 566.

This bill establishes a Partnership for Workforce Quality Program
within the Department of Economic and Employment Development.

Senate Bill 406, 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 House Bill 566.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
