Dear Rep. Williams:

On June 23, 1993, I tendered an invitation to the House of Representatives to the Fifteenth Annual Legislative Appreciation Reception of the National Guard Association on January 25, 1994, at the National Guard Armory, 1225 Bluff Road, Columbia, South Carolina, from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. Today, while reviewing that invitation, I noted an error in the letter. We erroneously substituted Senate for House on the second line of that letter, and for this I apologize.

The remainder of the invitation is correct, and we do look forward to being able to host the members of the House of Representatives in January.

Sincerely,
William H. Shackelford
