  COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE SILVESTRE REYES, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

         House of Representatives, Permanent Select Committee on 
           Intelligence,
                                    Washington, DC, March 6, 2008.
     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 received a subpoena for 
     documents issued by the U.S. District Court for the Central 
     District of California.
       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,
                                                  Silvestre Reyes,
     Chairman.

                          ____________________
