   COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE CHAKA FATTAH, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Chaka Fattah, Member of Congress:

                                                   March 10, 2014.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker,
     Washington, DC.
       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 United States 
     District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, for 
     certain documents from my Congressional Offices.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined under Rule VIII that the subpoena seeks some 
     information that is not material and relevant, and that is 
     not ``consistent with the privileges and rights of the 
     House.'' Accordingly, I intend to move to quash the subpoena 
     to that extent, but to otherwise comply with the subpoena to 
     the extent that it is material

     and relevant, and to the extent that compliance with the 
     subpoena is consistent with the precedents and privileges of 
     the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Chaka Fattah,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
