  COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE DAVID E. SKAGGS, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable David E. Skaggs, Member of Congress:

                                U.S. House of Representatives,

                                                   April 15, 1996.
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This letter notifies you, pursuant to 
     Rule L [50] of the Rules of the House of Representatives, 
     that a subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the 
     District of Colorado in the case of United States v. Abbey 
     was mailed to me at my Westminster, Colorado, district 
     office.
       I have been advised by the Office of the General Counsel of 
     the House that the method of service of the subpoena did not 
     comply with Rule 17(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal 
     Procedure. I have asked the Office of General Counsel to so 
     advise the attorney who mailed the subpoena to me.
           Sincerely yours,
     David E. Skaggs.

                          ____________________
