  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
the Honorable Todd Tiahrt, Member of Congress:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                Washington, DC, November 17, 2000.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     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 have been served with a subpoena for testimony issued 
     by the Municipal Court for the City of Wichita, Kansas.

       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     inconsistent with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Todd Tiahrt,
     Member of Congress.
