COMMUNICATION FROM CHIEF OF STAFF, THE HONORABLE FRANK R. WOLF, MEMBER 
                              OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Daniel F. Scandling, Chief of Staff, the Honorable 
Frank R. Wolf, Member of Congress:

                                               September 10, 2012.
     Hon. John A. Boehner,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. 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 subpoena for documents issued 
     by the Fairfax County Circuit Court in connection with civil 
     litigation currently pending before that court.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     inconsistent with the privileges and precedents of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                              Daniel F. Scandling,
     Chief of Staff.

                          ____________________
