                                           Secretary of State,

     Hon. Jeff Trandahl,
     Clerk, House of Representatives, the Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Trandahl: This is to advise you that the 
     unofficial results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, 
     November 20, 2001, for Representative in Congress from the 
     Third Congressional District of Arkansas, show that John 
     Boozman received 52,894 or 55.55% of the total number of 
     votes cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that John 
     Boozman was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Third Congressional District of Arkansas.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is no contest to this election.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by all County Boards of Election Commissioners 
     involved, an official Certification of Election will be 
     prepared for transmittal as required by law.
           Sincerely,

                                               Susan K. Inman,

                                            Director of Elections,
     Arkansas Secretary of State.
