    COMMUNICATION FROM THE HON. JOHN E. BALDACCI, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable John E. Baldacci, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                      Washington, DC, May 9, 2002.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you pursuant 
     to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House that I have been 
     served with a subpoena for testimony and documents issued by 
     the Penobscot County Superior Court, State of Maine.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is not 
     consistent with the privileges and precedents of the House. 
     Accordingly, I have instructed the Office of General Counsel 
     to move to quash the subpoena.
           Sincerely,
                                                 John E. Baldacci,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
