  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, November 7, 2012.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     facsimile copy of a letter received from Ms. Mary Sue Helm, 
     Director of Elections and Administration, Office of the 
     Secretary of State, State of Kentucky, indicating that, 
     according to the unofficial returns of the Special Election 
     held November 6, 2012, the Honorable Thomas Massie was 
     elected Representative to Congress for the Fourth 
     Congressional District, State of Kentucky.
       With best wishes, I am,
       Sincerely,
                                                    Karen L. Haas,
                                                            Clerk.
       Enclosure.
                                  ____


                                         Commonwealth of Kentucky,


                             Office of the Secretary of State,

                                  Frankfort, KY, November 7, 2012.
     Hon. Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk, House of Representatives, The Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, November 6, 
     2012, for Representative in Congress, Fourth Congressional 
     District of Kentucky, show that Thomas Massie received 
     174,087 of the total number of votes cast for that office. A 
     chart providing the unofficial vote totals received for each 
     candidate seeking the unexpired term for U.S. Representative 
     in Congress, 4th District is attached.
       It would appear from the unofficial results that Thomas 
     Massie was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Fourth Congressional District of Kentucky.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, we 
     are not aware of any contest or recount to this election.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by all counties involved, the Secretary of State will 
     deliver the certified vote totals to the KY State Board of 
     Elections for the issuance of an official Certificate of 
     Election on November 20, 2012. An original Certificate of 
     Election for the unexpired term for the Fourth Congressional 
     District of Kentucky will be sent to you subsequent to the 
     November 20, 2012 meeting of the KY State Board of Elections.
       Thank you and if we may assist further, please do not 
     hesitate to contact me.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Mary Sue Helm,
      Director of Elections & Administration.
