     COMMUNICATION FROM THE HON. PORTER J. GOSS, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Porter J. Goss, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 15, 2002.
     Hon. Dennis J. 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 
     determined that the subpoena for documents and testimony 
     issued to me by the United States District Court for the 
     District of Columbia is not material and relevant, nor is it 
     consistent with the privileges and rights of the House. 
     Accordingly, I have instructed the Office of General Counsel 
     to object to and to move to quash the subpoena.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Porter J. Goss,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
