Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 583.

This bill would create the Efficiency 2000 Commission and specify its membership and
responsibilities.

House Bill 1214, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April
12, 1994, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 583.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
