BILL NUMBER:  SB 655
  VETOED	DATE: 10/10/1999




October 10, 1999

To the Members of the Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 655 without my signature.

While I am supportive of efforts to promote emerging solar and
distributed generation technologies, this bill establishes a new
grant program without establishing the source or amount of funding.

This program, while important, should compete with other priorities
in the annual budget process.

Sincerely,





GRAY DAVIS
