    COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE NORM DICKS, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                Congress of the United States,

     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam 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 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District 
     of California, for testimony in a criminal case.
       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,
                                                       Norm Dicks,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
