   COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE PETE SESSIONS, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                                   March 15, 2005.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to notify you formally, pursuant 
     to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, 
     that I have been served with a subpoena, issued by the 3rd 
     Judicial District Court of Henderson County, Texas, for 
     testimony.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     inconsistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Pete Sessions,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
