H.B. 1223                                                VETOES

May 24, 1995                                                     

The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.                 

Speaker of the House of Delegates                   

State House
Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1223.                                     

This bill approves an academic facility for the use of the University of Maryland System
and issuance of bonds by the University of Maryland System for the purposes of financing
a certain academic facility.

Senate Bill 808, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 9,
1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 1223.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
