                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, March 27, 2006.
     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 grand jury subpoena for 
     documents issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern 
     District of Virginia.
       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,
                                                 Stephanie Butler,
     District Manager.

                          ____________________
