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

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC., June 10, 2010.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     scanned copy of a letter received from Mr. Wesley B. Tailor, 
     Director of Elections, Office of the Secretary of State, 
     State of Georgia, indicating that, according to the 
     unofficial returns of the Special Election held June 8, 2010, 
     the Honorable Tom Graves was elected Representative to 
     Congress for the Ninth Congressional District, State of 
     Georgia.
       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,
                                               Lorraine C. Miller,
                                                            Clerk.
       Enclosure.

                                 The Office of Secretary of State,
                                                    June 10, 2010.
     Lorraine C. Miller,
     Clerk, House of Representatives, H-154 U.S. Capitol, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Miller: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election Runoff held on Tuesday, June 
     8, 2010, for U.S. Representative from the Ninth Congressional 
     District of Georgia show that, as of today's date, Tom Graves 
     received 22,684 votes or 56.5% of the total number of votes 
     cast, and thus far counted, for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Tom 
     Graves was elected as the U.S. Representative from the Ninth 
     Congressional District of Georgia.
       At this time, we are not aware of any contest to this 
     election. As soon as the official results are certified to 
     this office by all counties involved, the official 
     ``Certificate of Election'' will be prepared and forwarded to 
     the Governor's Office for transmittal to you as required by 
     Georgia law.
       If we can assist you further, please let us know.
           Sincerely,
     Wesley B. Tailor.
