       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 grand jury subpoena for documents issued by the

       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that it is consistent with the precedents and 
     privileges of the House to comply with the subpoena.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Edolphus Towns,
     Member of Congress.
