                                    Congress of the United States,


                                       5th District, New York,

                                                    July 16, 2012.
     Hon. John A. Boehner,

       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 Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of 
     Queens.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is not 
     consistent with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Gary L. Ackerman,
     Member of Congress.
