  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Inspector General of the House of 
Representatives:

                                      Office of Inspector General,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, July 17, 2024.
     Hon. Mike Johnson,
     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, Joseph C. Picolla, Inspector General for the U.S. 
     House of Representatives, have been served with a subpoena 
     for documents and testimony issued by the Superior Court for 
     the District of Columbia.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is not 
     consistent with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                Joseph C. Picolla,
     Inspector General.

                          ____________________
