       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you, pursuant

     that I have been served with a civil subpoena for documents 
     issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern

       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     will determine whether it is consistent with the precedents 
     and privileges of the House to comply with the subpoena.
           Sincerely,
     Joseph M. Hoeffel.
