Members, Advisory Board, SC Public Service Authority
       The Honorable James H. Hodges
        Honorable Grady L. Patterson, Jr.
        Honorable Charles M. Condon
        Honorable James M. Miles 

Gentlemen:

                As you know, state law requires the South Carolina Public Service Authority's Advisory Board to select the Authority's accounting firm for conduct of its annual audit.

                The South Carolina Public Service Authority is currently receiving proposals from several accounting firms for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Advisory Board for final selection. Considering the recent Enron fiasco, I have requested that all proposals from the accounting firms be presented to the Advisory Board with the Board of Directors' recommendation for review and final selection.

                Along with the Public Service Authority's Board of Directors, I look forward to working with you to protect the fiscal integrity of one of our state's most valuable energy resources.

                                                                                  Sincerely,

 

                                                                                  JAMES A. LANDER
