       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     facsimile copy of a letter received from Linda W. Beazley, 
     Director, Elections Division, Office of the Georgia Secretary 
     of State, indicating that, according to the unofficial

     Georgia.
       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,

                                  ____

                                               Secretary of State,


                                           Elections Division,

                                   Atlanta, GA, February 24, 1999.
     Hon. Jeff Trandahl,
     Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Trandahl: This is to advise you that the 
     unofficial results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, 
     February 23, 1999, for U.S. Representative from the Sixth 
     Congressional District of Georgia show that Johnny Isakson 
     received 51,548 votes or 65.1% of the total number of votes 
     cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Johnny 
     Isakson was elected as the U.S. Representative from the Sixth 
     Congressional District of Georgia.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief, there is no 
     contest to this election.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by all counties involved, the official ``Certificate 
     of Election'' will be prepared and forwarded to the 
     Governor's Office for transmittal to you as required by 
     Georgia Law.
       If we can assist you further, please let us know.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Linda W. Beazley,
     Director.
