    COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE RAY LaHOOD, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                                November 19, 2008.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Office of the 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 of 
     Representatives, that my office has been served with a 
     criminal trial subpoena for documents issued by the U.S. 
     District Court for the Central District of Illinois. This 
     relates to a constituent matter. Two of my district offices 
     have casework files that are relevant to the investigation 
     and charges filed.
       After consulting with the Office of General Counsel, I have 
     determined that compliance with the subpoena is consistent 
     with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Ray LaHood,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
