   COMMUNICATION FROM CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE HONORABLE PETE SESSIONS, 
                           MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Drake) laid before the House the 
following communication from Charles Bauer, Chief of Staff of the 
Honorable Pete Sessions, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, March 8, 2005.
     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, issued by the 3rd 
     Judicial District Court of Henderson County, Texas, for 
     testimony.
       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,
                                                    Charles Bauer,
     Chief of Staff.

                          ____________________
