The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.

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 302.

This bill would require the dissolution of the Maryland Higher Education Loan
Corporation by June 30, 1996, and require the Board to enter into an agreement with an
appropriate entity to ensure that Maryland students have access to guaranteed student
loans.

House Bill 420, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 2,
1994, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 302.
