     COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Loudermilk) laid before the House the 
following communication from the Chair of the Committee on the 
Judiciary:

                                         House of Representatives,


                                   Committee on the Judiciary,

                                   Washington, DC, March 17, 2015.
     Hon. John A. Boehner,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker:  This is to notify you pursuant to Rule 
     VIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, that the 
     Committee on the Judiciary has received a subpoena, issued by 
     the United States District Court for the District of 
     Massachusetts, for documents in a civil case.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel 
     regarding the subpoena, I have determined that compliance is 
     not consistent with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Bob Goodlatte,
     Chairman.

                          ____________________
