    COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE BART STUPAK, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, August 9, 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 office has been served with a civil subpoena for 
     documents issued by the Circuit Court for the 47th Judicial 
     Circuit of Michigan and directed to the ``Custodian of 
     Records.''
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that it is consistent with the precedents and 
     privileges of the House to notify the party that issued the 
     subpoenas that I do not have any responsive documents.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Bart Stupak,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
