  COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE PETER HOEKSTRA, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following
communication from the Honorable Peter Hoekstra, Member of Congress:

         House of Representatives, Permanent Select Committee on
           Intelligence,
                                               September 13, 2007.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam Speaker: This is to notify you formally,
     pursuant to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of
     Representatives, that I have been served with a subpoena,
     issued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
     of California, for testimony in a criminal case.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is
     inconsistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Peter Hoekstra,
     Ranking Republican.

                          ____________________
