       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to notify you formally, 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

     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.
