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 843.

This bill would authorize the creation of a State Debt not to exceed $400,000, to be used
for the renovation of the Silver Theater in Silver Spring, Maryland.

House Bill 1038, 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 843.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
