                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 30, 1996

  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, which 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.
