  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of 
Representatives:

         Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, House of 
           Representatives,
                                        Washington, March 5, 2008.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam Speaker: This is to formally notify you, 
     pursuant to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of 
     Representatives, that I have been served with two 
     administrative subpoenas for documents issued by the Merit 
     Systems Protection Board.
       After consulting with the Office of General Counsel, I have 
     determined that compliance with the subpoenas is consistent 
     with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Daniel P. Beard,
     Chief Administrative Officer.
