               COMMUNICATION FROM THE CLERK OF THE HOUSE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Rogers) laid before the House a 
communication from the Clerk of the House of Representatives:

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                U.S. House of Representatives,

                                Washington, DC, February 27, 1996.
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     Speaker, 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 a member of my 
     staff has been served with a subpoena issued by the Circuit 
     Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. This subpoena relates to 
     her employment by former Representative Kweisi Mfume.
       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,
                                                   Robin H. Carle,
     Clerk of the House.
