Speaker of the House

Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 494.

This Administration bill establishes an Excellence in Education Incentive Grant Program
for the purpose of awarding grants to eligible county boards of education for the
development of innovative instructional programs and services for gifted and talented
students. This bill also, requires the Governor to provide funding in the State budget for

the local incentive grants.

Senate Bill 230, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 29,
1997, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 494.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
