 PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AFTER SINE DIE ADJOURNMENT 
OF THE 109TH CONGRESS 2D SESSION AND FOLLOWING PUBLICATION OF THE FINAL 
  EDITION OF THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD OF THE 109TH CONGRESS 2D SESSION

COMMUNICATION FROM THE HON. CURT WELDON, MEMBER OF CONGRESS, AFTER SINE 
                            DIE ADJOURNMENT

                                                December 14, 2006.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you, pursuant 
     to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, 
     that a grand jury subpoena for documents, issued by the U.S. 
     District Court for the District of Columbia and addressed to 
     ``Custodian of Records, Office of Congressman Wayne Curtis 
     Weldon,'' has been delivered to my congressional office. 
     Because the ``Office of Congressman Wayne Curtis Weldon'' is 
     not a legal entity, I have treated the subpoena as directed 
     to me and have designated a member of my staff as my 
     Custodian of Records for purposes of gathering documents that 
     are potentially responsive to the subpoena.
       After I consult with counsel, I will make the 
     determinations required by Rule VIII of the Rules of the 
     House.
           Respectfully,
     Curt Weldon.

                          ____________________
