An article Sunday in the Howard County edition of The Sun incorrectly described the genesis of a citizen advisory committee created to study the Howard County zoning process. The committee's official marching orders came from County Council Chairman Guy J. Guzzone, a North Laurel-Savage Democrat, but its formation came at the urging of Councilmen Allan H. Kittleman, a western Howard Republican, and Christopher J. Merdon, an Ellicott City Republican. 

The Sun regrets the error.
