  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable John T. Doolittle, Member of Congress:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                               Washington, DC, September 14, 2007.
     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,
                                                John T. Doolittle,
     Member of Congress.
