Dear President Owen:
We respectfully transmit for your consideration the following bill which has been partially vetoed by the Governor, together with the official veto message setting forth his objection to the section or items of the bill, as required by Article III, section 12, of the Washington State Constitution:
Substitute Senate Bill No. 6781
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 6781
March 27, 2000
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 4, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6781 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to dairy nutrients;"
This bill refines the Dairy Nutrient Management Act that was created in the 1989 legislative session. Among other things, it creates a dairy nutrient management task force consisting of legislative, executive, federal and interest group members. Section 4 of the bill would have required the Office of Financial Management to make recommendations to the task force on funding the dairy nutrient management program. Such recommendations are more properly the function of the industry.
For these reasons, I have vetoed section 4 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6781.
With the exception of section 4, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6781 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
GARY LOCKE, Governor
MOTION
On motion of Senator Betti Sheldon, the partial veto message on Substitute Senate Bill No. 6781 was held on the desk.

Referred to Committee on Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation.
MOTION
At 10:36 a.m., on motion of Senator Betti Sheldon, the Senate adjourned until 10:30 a.m., Monday, April 3, 2000.
