President of the Senate

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21401                       

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 364.

This bill would authorize funds to be used for the repair, renovation, rehabilitation, and
reconstruction, expansion, and equipping of a building called The Family Place to be used
as a support and development center for families, adults, teens, and children in the
surrounding community.

House Bill 202, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 27,
1993, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 364.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
