     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 Saturday, May 3, 
     2008, for Representative in Congress from the Sixth 
     Congressional District of Louisiana, show that ``Don'' 
     Cazayoux received 49,702 or 49.20% of the total number of 
     votes cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that ``Don'' 
     Cazayoux was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Sixth Congressional District of Louisiana.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is no contest to this election.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by all Parishes involved, an official Certificate of 
     Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
       If I can ever be of any assistance to you, please do not 
     hesitate contacting me.
           With best wishes,
                                                     Jay Dardenne,
