COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE NYDIA M. VELAZQUEZ, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Nydia M. Velazquez, Member of 
Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                Washington, DC, November 15, 2012.
     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 for documents issued 
     by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of 
     Kings in connection with civil litigation currently pending 
     before that court.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     inconsistent with the privileges and precedents of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                               Nydia M. Velazquez,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
