Caudle, II, Executive Director of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers Association, Thomas L.

Whereas, the "B.A.C." buttons go on sale Wednesday, March 16, 1994; and

Whereas, the "B.A.C." project and all other programs of Life Abilities deserve the support, merit, and praise of all citizens of the State. Now, therefore,
