  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Burns) laid before the House the 
following communication from Kimonia Alfred, staff member of the 
Honorable Henry Waxman, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, April 19, 2004.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, U.S. 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, issued by the United 
     States Tax Court, for testimony and documents.
       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,
     Kimonia Alfred.

                          ____________________
