The following letter, dated June 28, 1996, was received:                       
                                                                               
                                                                               
Dear Speaker Phillips:                                                         
                                                                               
Today I signed House Bill 413 with certain line item vetoes.  I am             
transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant               
Governor for permanent filing:

HB 413                                                                       
CONFERENCE CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 413                                          
An Act making appropriations for the operating and capital                    
expenses of the state's integrated comprehensive mental health                 
program; and providing for an effective date.                                  
                                                                               
Chapter No. 118, SLA 1996                                                     
ªEffective Date:  July 1, 1996ß                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
As have governors before me, I have vetoed most of the legislative             
intent language in House Bill 413, regardless of whether I agree with          
the content.  This is to maintain the appropriate distinction between the      
legislatures appropriation responsibilities and the executive branchs          
policy and budget implementation responsibilities.                             
                                                                               
							Sincerely,                                                              
							/s/
