    COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE JOE BARTON, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, January 27, 2015.
     Hon. John A. Boehner,
     The 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 United States District Court for the Eastern District 
     of Louisiana in connection with a criminal case currently 
     pending before that court.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     will determine whether compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Joe Barton,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
