                        Dear Governor Schwarzenegger,  

                        To date, CMA has not responded to Professor Sharon A. Winer's e-mail.    
              
                        In view of the above, you MUST VETO  AB 1235, as it is still a "work in progress",     
                         
                        Respectfully submitted,
