                COMMUNICATION FROM THE REPUBLICAN LEADER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable John A. Boehner, Republican Leader:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 21, 2009.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, U.S. Capitol,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Pelosi: Pursuant to section 703(c) of the 
     Public Interest Declassification Act of 2000 (50 U.S.C. 435 
     note), I am pleased to reappoint Admiral William O. Studeman 
     of Great Falls, Virginia to the Public Interest 
     Declassification Board.
       Our previous appointee, the Honorable David Skaggs, intends 
     to resign effective June 5, 2009. His initial appointment was 
     made because of the change in Congress and the presumed 
     statutory intent of the Board with the understanding that he 
     would resign at the end of his term.
       Admiral Studeman has expressed interest in reappointment 
     and as such, I am pleased to do so.
           Sincerely,
                                                  John A. Boehner,
     Republican Leader.
