     Passed the Senate March 10, 1992.

     Passed the House March 5, 1992.

Approved by the Governor March 26, 1992, with the exception of certain items which were vetoed.

     Filed in Office of Secretary of State March 26, 1992.

     Note: Governor's explanation of partial veto is as follows:

     "I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 2, Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5675 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to Skagit river salmon."

     Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5675 calls for the Department of Fisheries to prepare a salmon recovery plan for the Skagit River.  Section 2 directs that the plan be completed by December 31, 1992.

     No funding was provided for the development of the salmon recovery plan.  Therefore, the time-frame established in section 2 cannot be met.  I am, however, directing the Department of Fisheries, within its budget, to complete a salmon recovery plan for the Skagit River by December 31, 1993.

     For this reason, I have vetoed section 2 of Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5675.

     With the exception of section 2, Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5675 is approved."
