SB 68                                                                        
Furthermore, the bill mandates the type of representation of two of            
the governors three appointments on the proposed 13-person task                
force, foreclosing meaningful participation by the Administration.             
Additional problems with the bill include the conveyance to the task           
force of the power to administer oaths--a power normally reserved              
only to standing committees of the Legislature.                                
                                                                               
I do not want my veto of this bill to indicate in any way a lessening          
of the Administrations commitment to examine privatization                     
possibilities.  I will direct my cabinet to continue to examine                
functions they administer that may be more appropriately handled by            
or contracted to the private sector.  Additionally, the Administration         
stands ready to cooperate and to provide available information to any          
committee or task force the legislative leadership may appoint to              
review possible privatization opportunities.                                   
                                                                               
						Sincerely,
