The Associated Press reported erroneously June 1 that a House Ethics Committee official said the dating relationship of Representative Les Aspin, D-Wis., with a steel executive whose company obtained more than $6 million in defense work would not violate conduct rules for congressmen. Mark Davis, head of advice and education for the House committee, was commenting on a hypothetical case, not specifically addressing Mr. Aspin's relationship.

The Sun regrets the errors.
