                                  Committee on Appropriations,

                                     Washington, DC, May 10, 1996.
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     The 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 of Representatives, 
     that Jim Dyer, currently the staff director of the 
     Appropriations Committee and formerly a staff assistant for 
     Congressman Joseph McDade of Pennsylvania, has been served 
     with a subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the 
     Eastern District of Pennsylvania in the case of United States 
     versus McDade.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Bob Livingston,
     Chairman.
