  The Speaker pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Christopher H. Smith, Member of 
Congress:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                  Washington, DC, June 30, 1995.  
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,

       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you pursuant 
     to Rule L (5) of the Rules of the House that my office has 
     received a subpoena for testimony and documents concerning 
     constituent casework. The subpoena was issued by the Superior 
     Court of New Jersey in Morris County.
       After consultation with the General Counsel, I have 
     determined that compliance with the subpoena is consistent 
     with the privileges and precedents of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                             Christopher H. Smith,
                                             Member of Congress.
