COMMUNICATION FROM LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT OF HON. WILLIAM J. JEFFERSON, 
                           MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
Angelle Kwemo, Legislative Assistant of the Hon. William J. Jefferson, 
Member of Congress:


                                     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,
                                                    Angelle Kwemo,
     Legislative Assistant.

                          ____________________
