Speaker of the House
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 256.

This bill amends the Greater Baltimore Cultural Arts Foundation Loan of 1994 by
extending the deadline for the Board of Directors to provide matching funds totaling
$500,000 and providing that matching funds may consist of in kind contributions.

Senate Bill 170, 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 House
Bill 256.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

House Bill No. 256

AN ACT concerning

FOR the purpose of amending Chapter 121 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1994,
the Greater Baltimore Cultural Arts Foundation Loan of 1994, to extend the time
for the Board of Directors of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Arts Foundation, Inc.
