  COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE SILVESTRE REYES, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

         House of Representatives, Permanent Select Committee on 
           Intelligence,
                               Washington, DC, September 11, 2007.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam 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, 
     issued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District 
     of California, for testimony and documents in a case, U.S. v 
     Wilkes.
       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,
                                                  Silvestre Reyes,
                                               Member of Congress.
