                           MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Melody McEntee, Director, Government, Business and 
Community Relations, Office of Hon. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, Member of 
Congress:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, March 12, 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 an 
     administrative subpoena, issued by the United States Merit 
     Systems Protection Board, for testimony and documents.
       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,

                                               Melody McEntee,

                                    Director, Government, Business
     and Community Relations.

                          ____________________
