  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Darwin Cusack, Chief of Staff to the Honorable

                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 30, 2000.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,

       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you, pursuant 
     to rule VIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, 
     that I have been served with a grand jury subpoena for 
     documents issued by the U.S. District Court for the District 
     of New Hampshire.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Darwin Cusack,
     Chief of Staff.
