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 584.

This bill would amend Chapter 215 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1991, the
Western Maryland College Loan of 1991, to alter and expand the purposes to which the
proceeds of the bonds may be applied, to allow expended funds to be used as matching
funds, and to extend the time for the College to present certain evidence of a matching
fund to the Board of Public Works.

Senate Bill 503, 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 House
Bill 584.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
