       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     facsimile copy of a letter received from L. Clayton Roberts,

       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,

       Attachment.
                                      Florida Department of State,


                                        Division of Elections,

     Hon. Jeff Trandahl,
     Clerk, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Trandahl: This is to advise you that the 
     unofficial results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, 
     October 16, 2001, for Representative in Congress from the 
     First Congressional District of Florida, show that Jeff 
     Miller received 53,247 votes or 65.7 percent of the total 
     number of votes cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Jeff 
     Miller was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     First Congressional District of Florida.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is no contest to this election.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by all counties involved, an official Certificate of 
     Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
           Sincerely,
                                               L. Clayton Roberts,
                                  Director, Division of Elections.
