  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
the Clerk of the House of Representatives:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, April 28, 2009.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     The 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. Todd D. 
     Valentine and Mr. Stanley L. Zalen, Co-Executive Directors of 
     the New York State Board of Elections, indicating that, 
     according to the unofficial returns of the Special Election 
     held March 31, 2009, the Honorable Scott Murphy was elected 
     Representative to Congress for the Twentieth Congressional 
     District, State of New York.
       With best wishes, I am,
           Sincerely,
                                               Lorraine C. Miller,
                                                            Clerk.
       Enclosure.
                                  ____



                                     State Board of Elections,

                                       Albany, NY, April 27, 2009.
     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 31, 
     2009, for Representative in Congress from the Twentieth 
     Congressional District of New York, show that Scott Murphy 
     received 80,420 of the total number of votes cast for that 
     office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Scott 
     Murphy was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Twentieth Congressional District of New York.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by the County Boards of Elections involved, an 
     official Certificate of Election will be prepared for 
     transmittal as required by law.
           Very truly yours,
     Todd D. Valentine,
       Co-Executive Director.
     Stanley L. Zalen,
       Co-Executive Director.
