  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., Member of 
Congress:

                                     House of Representatives,

     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     Speaker of the House, House of Representatives, The Capitol, 
         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 United

     subpoena relates to her employment by a former Member of the 
     House.
       After consultation with the General Counsel, I have 
     determined that compliance with the subpoena is consistent 
     with the privileges and procedures of the House.
       With kindest personal regards,
           Sincerely,
                                          Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr.,
     Member of Congress.
