       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you pursuant 
     to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, 
     that I have been served with a subpoena for testimony issued 
     by the Supreme Court of the State of New York in a criminal 
     case pending there.
       After consulting with the Office of General Counsel, I have 
     determined that it is consistent with the privileges and 
     rights of the House to comply with the subpoena.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Sean Kennedy,
     Legislative Director/Associate Counsel.
