      COMMUNICATION FROM THE HON. BART STUPAK, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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


                                     House of Representatives,

                                      Washington, DC, May 6, 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 for testimony and 
     documents issued by the U.S. District Court for the Western 
     District of Michigan.
       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,
                                                      Bart Stupak,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
