    COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE TIM HOLDEN, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                                 January 27, 2010.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       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 an 
     administrative subpoena, issued before the Environmental 
     Hearing Board of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for 
     documents. This is in reference to the landfill in Blythe 
     Township, Pennsylvania which I opposed due to environmental 
     concerns.
       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,
                                                       Tim Holden,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
