   COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE JOHN SARBANES, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, December 9, 2009.
     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 a third-party 
     subpoena for production of documents issued by the U.S. 
     District Court for the District of Maryland, in connection 
     with a civil matter now pending in that court.
       After consultation with the Office of the General Counsel, 
     I have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                    John Sarbanes,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
