  The SPEAKER pro tempore [Mr. Quinn] laid before the House the 
following communication from the Honorable Charles E. Schumer, Member 
of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                               Washington, DC, September 26, 1997.
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     Speaker, U.S. 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 that I have been 
     served with a subpoena duces tecum issued by the Supreme 
     Court of the State of New York, County of Kings, in the case 
     of Ellen Frankel v. Jeffrey Frankel, Index No. 10369/96.
       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.
           Sincerely,
                                               Charles E. Schumer,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
