  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from

                                                   March 12, 2008.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     facsimile copy of a letter received from Mr. Matthew Tusing, 
     Deputy Secretary of State, Office of the Secretary of State 
     of Indiana, indicating that, according to the unofficial 
     returns of the Special Election held March 11, 2008, the 
     Honorable Andre D. Carson was elected Representative to 
     Congress for the Seventh Congressional District, State of 
     Indiana.
       With best wishes, I am,
           Sincerely,
                                               Lorraine C. Miller,
                                                            Clerk.

       Enclosure.
                                                   March 12, 2008.
     Hon. Lorraine C. Miller,
     Clerk, House of Representatives,
     The Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Miller: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, March 11, 
     2008, for Representative in Congress from the Seventh 
     Congressional District of Indiana show that Andre D. Carson 
     received 45,598 or 54.04% of the total number of votes cast 
     for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Andre D. 
     Carson was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Seventh Congressional District of Indiana.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is no contest in this election.
       If you have additional questions, please contact my office.
           Sincerely,

                                               Matthew Tusing,

                                        Deputy Secretary of State,
     Office of the Indiana Secretary of State.
