               COMMUNICATION FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Robin Reeder, Archivist:

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                U.S. House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, March 2, 2011.
     Hon. John A. Boehner,
     Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. 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 a civil subpoena, issued before 
     the Evidentiary Panel for the State Bar of Texas, for 
     documents.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     inconsistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Robin Reeder,
     Archivist.

                          ____________________
