COMMUNICATION FROM DISTRICT DIRECTOR, THE HONORABLE DAVID SCOTT, MEMBER 
                              OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Chandra Harris, District Director, the Honorable 
David Scott, Member of Congress:

                                                    June 27, 2013.
     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 received a subpoena, issued by the Superior Court 
     of Clayton County, Georgia, requiring that I appear to 
     testify in that court at the trial of a particular civil 
     case.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined under Rule VIII that the subpoena (i) is not 
     ``a proper exercise of jurisdiction by the court,'' (ii) 
     seeks information that is not ``material and relevant,'' and/
     or (iii) is not ``consistent with the privileges and rights 
     of the House.'' Accordingly, I intend to move to quash the 
     subpoena.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Chandra Harris,
                       District Director for the Hon. David Scott.

     

                          ____________________
