PARRIS N. GLENDENING, Governor                          H.B. 1071

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 1071.

This bill amends the Baltimore City - Grace Outreach Center Loan of 1995 by extending,
from June 1, 1997 to June 1, 1999, the time by which the Grace Outreach Development
Corporation must provide evidence of matching funds.

Senate Bill 678, 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 1071.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
