  COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE JOHN D. DINGELL, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable John D. Dingell, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, January 10, 2012.
     Hon. John A. Boehner,
     Speaker, 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 United 
     States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, 
     to produce documents in a criminal case.
       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,
                                                  John D. Dingell,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
