       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you, pursuant

     that I have been served with a deposition subpoena issued by 
     the Superior Court of Washington for Cowlitz County in a 
     civil case pending there.
       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,
                                                   Jeanne Bennett,
     District Director.
