  COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE SHELLEY BERKLEY, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Shelley Berkley, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                               Washington, DC, September 14, 2006.
     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 U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
       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,
                                                  Shelley Berkley,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
