BILL NUMBER:  AB 2443
  VETOED	DATE: 09/25/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2443 without my signature.

The Governor of California is the primary state officer representing
this state's interest in international affairs.  This process has
proven to be effective and beneficial to California by allowing one
voice to represent the state's priorities.  This bill would not only
cause confusion but also undermine the strength of California's
position by allowing the Legislature to insert itself into
international trade agreement discussions and negotiations.  In order
to avoid this confusion and continue the effective current process,
I cannot sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
