    COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE IKE SKELTON, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                            House Committee on Armed Services,

                               Washington, DC, September 13, 2007.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam Speaker: Pursuant to Rule VIII of the Rules of 
     the House of Representatives, I write to notify you formally 
     that I have been served with a subpoena. The subpoena was 
     issued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District 
     of California in relation to ongoing prosecutions related to 
     former Congressman Randy ``Duke'' Cunningham and requests my 
     testimony as a potential witness and the production of 
     documents.
       After consultation with counsel, I have determined that 
     compliance with the subpoena may be inconsistent with the 
     precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Ike Skelton,
                                                         Chairman.
