  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, December 7, 2005.
     The Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     facsimile copy of a letter received from Ms. Caren Daniels-
     Meade, Chief, Elections Division, State of California, 
     indicating that, according to the unofficial returns of the 
     Special Election held December 6, 2005, the Honorable John 
     Campbell was elected Representative in Congress for the 
     Forty-eighth Congressional District, State of California.
       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,
                                                    Karen L. Hass,
     Clerk.
                                  ____

                                               Secretary of State,


                                          State of California,

                                 Sacramento, CA, December 6, 2005.
     The Hon. Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, December 6, 
     2005, for Representative in Congress from the Forty-eighth 
     Congressional District of California, show that John Campbell 
     received 41,450 or 44.7 percent of the total number of votes 
     cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that John 
     Campbell was clearly elected as Representative in Congress 
     from the Forty-eighth Congressional District of California.
       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 representing votes cast in all 268 precincts 
     established for this election, an official Certificate of 
     Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
           Sincerely,
                                              Caren Daniels-Meade,
     Chief, Elections Division.
