                        Supreme Court of the United States,
                                    Washington, DC, April 29, 2002.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: By direction of the Supreme Court of the 
United States, I have the honor to submit to the Congress the 
amendments to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that have 
been adopted by the Supreme Court of the United States pursuant 
to Section 2072 of Title 28, United States Code.
    Accompanying these rules are excerpts from the report of 
the Judicial Conference of the United States containing the 
Committee Notes submitted to the Court for its consideration 
pursuant to Section 331 of Title 28, United States Code. The 
Court did not approve the addition of a new Rule 26(b) as 
proposed by the Judicial Conference. Justice Breyer has issued 
a dissenting statement, in which Justice O'Conner joins. 
Justice Scalia has issued a separate statement.
            Sincerely,
                                              William H. Rehnquist.
