Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 239.

This bill amends the CURE Heart, Body, and Soul Loan of 1994 by altering the purpose
for which the proceeds of the grant will be used from renovation of existing buildings in
Baltimore City to construction of a new building in Baltimore City and repeals the
requirement that the grantee (the Board of Directors of Clergy United for Renewal of
East Baltimore, Inc.) grant and convey a perpetual preservation easement to the
Maryland Historical Trust.

Senate Bill 13, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 29,

- 4715 -
