  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the SCANA Corp., which 
serves the Second Congressional District of South Carolina, for 
receiving the Common Goals Award from the Edison Electric Institute 
[EEI] last week in Washington. The award, was given for outstanding 
achievement in the field of educational partnerships, was bestowed on 
the SCANA Corp. for its sponsorship of ``The Coach,'' a computer 
equipped traveling classroom. ``The Coach,'' which is staffed with 
State adult literacy specialists, travels throughout South Carolina to 
offer free training to employers for the development of adult literacy 
programs for their employees. In presenting the award, EEI President 
Tom Kuhn noted that, ``by helping people improve themselves, SCANA 
opens the way to a more highly skilled workforce, a more competitive 
economy, and a better quality of life.''
  Mr. Speaker, the SCANA Corp. is to be commended on the contributions 
that ``The Coach'' has made to increasing adult literacy in South 
Carolina. As it celebrates its 150th anniversary, the SCANA Corp. can 
take great pride in its history of service to the people of the 
Palmetto State.
