COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND COMMERCE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the chairman of the Committee on Energy and 
Commerce:

         U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Oversight 
           and Investigations of the Committee on Energy and 
           Commerce,
                               Washington, DC, September 14, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you pursuant 
     to rule L (50) of the Rules of the House that the 
     Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations has received a 
     subpoena for documents issued by the United States District 
     Court for the District of Columbia.
       After consultation with the General Counsel, I have 
     determined that compliance with the entirety of the subpoena 
     is inconsistent with the privileges and precedents of the 
     House.
           Sincerely,

                                              John D. Dingell,

                                         Chairman, Subcommittee on
     Oversight and Investigations.

                          ____________________
