  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Danielle Smoot, Communications Director, the 
Honorable Harold Rogers, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, August 6, 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, Danielle Smoot, have been served with a subpoena for 
     testimony in a criminal trial issued by the United States 
     District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. This 
     criminal trial is in relation to alleged threats made against 
     Congressman Hal Rogers's staff.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Danielle Smoot,
     Communications Director, Rep. Hal Rogers.
