   COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE VIRGINIA FOXX, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 30, 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 for testimony issued 
     by the Superior Court for the State of North Carolina, Surry 
     County in connection with a criminal prosecution currently 
     pending before that court.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that because the subpoena is not ``material 
     and relevant,'' compliance with the subpoena is inconsistent 
     with the privileges and precedents of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Virginia Foxx,
                                               Member of Congress.
