    COMMUNICATION FROM THE HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Henry A. Waxman, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                  Washington, DC, January 4, 2000.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you, pursuant 
     to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, 
     that my district office has been served with a deposition 
     subpoena for business records issued by the Superior Court of 
     California, County of Los Angeles, in the case of McIntosh v. 
     Department of Justice, Case No. BC218586.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is not 
     consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Henry A. Waxman,
     Member of Congress.ab
