 COMMUNICATION FROM ATTENDING PHYSICIAN OF THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED 
                                 STATES

  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
Dr. John Eisold, Attending Physician of the Congress of the United 
States:
                                          The Attending Physician,


                                Congress of the United States,

                                                 January 14, 2005.
     Hon. Dennis J. Hastert,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       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 civil subpoena for documents 
     issued by the United States District Court for the District 
     of Columbia.
       After consulting with the Office of General Counsel, I have 
     determined that compliance with the subpoena would not be 
     consistent with the rights and privileges of the House, and I 
     have instructed the Counsel to object.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Dr. John Eisold,
     Attending Physician.

                          ____________________
