               COMMUNICATION FROM THE CLERK OF THE HOUSE

  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
the Clerk of the House of Representatives:
                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                U.S. House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, November 9, 2006.
     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. Ann McGeehan, 
     Director of Elections, State of Texas, indicating that, 
     according to the unofficial returns of the Special Election 
     held November 7, 2006, the Honorable Shelley Sekula Gibbs was 
     elected Representative in Congress for the Twenty-Second 
     Congressional District, State of Texas.
       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,
                                                    Karen L. Haas,
                                                            Clerk.


                                           The State of Texas,

                                                 November 9, 2006.
     Ms. Karen L. Haas,
     Office of the Clerk, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: Our office has been requested to provide you 
     with a letter as to the status of the special election for 
     the unexpired term for U.S. Congressional District 22. Based 
     on preliminary, unofficial election night returns reported to 
     our agency from counties within U.S. Congressional District 
     22, the winner of the special election for this seat appears 
     to be Shelley Sekula Gibbs. These results are not finalized 
     and do not reflect all military and overseas votes that could 
     still be counted, nor do they represent the official 
     canvassed total. Also attached are the unofficial results of 
     the other congressional special elections for full terms.
       If you should have any questions, feel free to contact me.
           Yours truly,
                                                     Ann McGeehan,
                                            Director of Elections.
