  COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE MARTIN R. HOKE, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Martin R. Hoke, Member of Congress:

                                Congress of the United States,

                                  Washington, DC, January 3, 1996.
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     Speaker of the House,
     The Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to Rule L (50) of the Rules of 
     the House of Representatives, this is to formally notify you 
     that Thomas B. Boutall of my district office in Fairview 
     Park, Ohio, has been served with a subpoena that was issued 
     by the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas (Ohio) in the 
     matter of Nix v. Hill.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, it 
     has been determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the precedents and privileges of the U.S. 
     House of Representatives.
           Very truly yours,
                                                   Martin R. Hoke,
     Member of Congress.
