  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
Dr. John Eisold, Attending Physician of the Congress of the United 
States:
                                          The Attending Physician,


                                Congress of the United States,

                                                 January 14, 2005.
     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 of Representatives, 
     that I have been served with a civil subpoena for documents 
     issued by the United States District Court for the District 
     of Columbia.
       After consulting with the Office of General Counsel, I have 
     determined that compliance with the subpoena would not be 
     consistent with the rights and privileges of the House, and I 
     have instructed the Counsel to object.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Dr. John Eisold,
     Attending Physician.

                          ____________________
