  The Speaker pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Chris Beaman, Office Manager and Constituent 
Services Representative for the Honorable Howard Coble, Member of 
Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, March 11, 2004.
     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 General Court of Justice for the State of North 
     Carolina, Guilford County.
       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,
     Chris Beaman.
