Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 140.

This bill provides that an individual may submit certain information to an executive
agency that is drafting specifications or requesting proposals for a procurement and still
participate in the bid process and written comments must be solicited from two or more
persons, any sole source procurement must follow statutory guidelines.

House Bill 355, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 14,
1996, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 140.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
