       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you pursuant 
     to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House that I have received a

     have determined to comply with the subpoena to the extent 
     that it is consistent with Rule VIII.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Patrick Hirsch,
     Director, House Recording Studio.
