 COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE ALCEE L. HASTINGS, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The Speaker pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Alcee L. Hastings, Member of Congress:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 19, 1999.
     Hon. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker of the House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I believe that I have been remiss in 
     informing you that I have taken a leave of absence from the 
     Committee on Science.
       At the beginning of the 106th Congress I was appointed to 
     the Select Committee on Intelligence. I am of the 
     understanding that to serve on this select committee I am 
     required to take a leave from one of my two permanent 
     committee assignments. Therefore I have chosen to take a 
     leave from the Committee on Science.
       If you have any questions please feel free to contact 
     either me or Ann Jacobs in my office at 5-1313. Thank you 
     very much.
           Sincerely,
     Alcee L. Hastings.

                          ____________________
