       Dear Madam Speaker: This is to notify you formally,

     Representatives, that I have been served with a subpoena, 
     issued in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of

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