  COMMUNICATION FROM STAFF ASSISTANT OF HON. MARCY KAPTUR, MEMBER OF

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Dan Foote, Staff Assistant of the Honorable Marcy 
Kaptur, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, July 16, 2004.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     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 civil subpoena for testimony 
     issued by the Court of Common Pleas for Lucas County, Ohio.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     inconsistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                        Dan Foote,
     Staff Assistant.

                          ____________________
