  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
the Clerk of the House of Representatives:

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, June 8, 2006.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     The Speaker House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     facsimile copy of a letter received from Ms. Susan Lapsley, 
     Assistant Secretary of State for Elections, State of 
     California, indicating that, according to the unofficial 
     returns of the Special Election held June 6, 2006, the 
     Honorable Brian P. Bilbray was elected Representative in 
     Congress for the Fiftieth Congressional District, State of 
     California.
       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,
                                                    Karen L. Haas,
                                                            Clerk.
       Attachment.

                                               Secretary of State,


                                          State of California,

                                                     June 8, 2006.
     Hon. Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk, House of Representatives,
     The Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, June 6. 
     2006, for Representative in Congress from the Fiftieth 
     Congressional District of California, show that Brian P. 
     Bilbray received 60,319 or 49.33% of the total number of 
     votes cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Brian P. 
     Bilbray was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Fiftieth Congressional District of California.
       However, at this time there are 68,500 ballots still being 
     processed by the jurisdiction.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is no anticipated legal challenge to the outcome of this 
     election.
       As soon as the official results from the San Diego 
     Registrar of Voters are certified to this office reflecting 
     votes of all 500 precincts involved, an official Certificate 
     of Election will be prepared for transmittal to you as 
     required by law.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Susan Lapsley,
                       Assistant Secretary of State for Elections.
