     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,

       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 District of

       After consultation with the Office of the General Counsel, 
     I have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,

                                                 Daniel Beard,

                                     Chief Administrative Officer,
     House of Representatives.
