     House of Representatives, that the Committee on Homeland 
     Security and its subcommittees have received document 
     subpoenas issued by the United States District Court for the 
     District of Massachusetts in a civil case.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel 
     regarding the subpoenas, I have determined that compliance is 
     not consistent with the privileges and rights of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Michael McCaul,
     Chairman.
