     COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE BOB WISE, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The Speaker pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Bob Wise, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, June 19, 1997.
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, The Speaker's Rooms, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Gingrich: This is to formally notify you 
     pursuant to Rule L (50) of the Rules of the House that I have 
     been served with a subpoena issued by the Circuit Court of 
     Hardy County, West Virginia, in the case of West Virginia v. 
     Cook, Crim. Action No. 97-F-20.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that the subpoena relates to my official 
     duties, and that compliance with the subpoena is consistent 
     with the privileges and precedents of the House.
           Very truly yours,
                                                         Bob Wise,
     Member of Congress.
