       COMMUNICATION FROM HONORABLE TOM DeLAY, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Tom DeLay, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 21, 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, and may be 
     inconsistent 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,
                                                        Tom DeLay,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
