   COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE MAXINE WATERS, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Maxine Waters, Member of Congress:
                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                  Washington, DC, October 2, 2007.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam Speaker: This is to formally notify you pursuant 
     to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House that I have been 
     served with a trial subpoena for testimony in a criminal case 
     issued by the Superior Court for the District of Columbia.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is not 
     consistent with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Maxine Waters,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
