   COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE BRAD SHERMAN, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                Congress of the United States,

                                    Washington, DC, June 10, 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 subpoena, issued by the 
     Superior Court of California, for testimony and documents.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined under Rule VIII that the subpoena is not ``a 
     proper exercise of jurisdiction by the court.'' The Superior 
     Court itself has quashed the subpoena (see attached docket 
     summary).
           Sincerely,
                                                     Brad Sherman,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
