               COMMUNICATION FROM THE CLERK OF THE HOUSE

  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
the Clerk of the House of Representatives:

                                     House of Representatives,

                               Washington, DC, September 15, 2011.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     scanned copy of a letter received from Mr. Robert Brehm and 
     Mr. Todd Valentine, Co-Executive Directors, New York State 
     Board of Elections, indicating that, according to the 
     unofficial returns of the Special Election held September 13, 
     2011, the Honorable Bob Turner was elected Representative to 
     Congress for the Ninth Congressional District, State of New 
     York.
       With best wishes, I am,
           Sincerely,
                                                    Karen L. Haas,
                                                            Clerk.
       Enclosure.


                                     State Board of Elections,

                                   Albany, NY, September 14, 2011.
     Hon. Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk, House of Representatives, The Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, September 
     13, 2011 for Representative in Congress from the Ninth 
     Congressional District of New York show that David I. Weprin 
     received 27,599 votes, Bob Turner received 32,403 votes, and 
     Christopher P. Hoeppner received 277 votes cast for that 
     office.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is a court proceeding (Turner v Weprin, and the NYCBOE 
     commissioners, the NYCBOE and the City of New York) that 
     temporarily enjoins and restrains the respondent board of 
     elections from certifying any candidate as the candidate duly 
     elected to the office of Representative in Congress, 9th 
     Congressional District.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by all county boards in the Ninth Congressional 
     District in New York an official Certification of Election 
     will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
           Sincerely,
     Robert A. Brehm,
     Todd D. Valentine.
