  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
Kathie Eastman, staff member of the Honorable Peter A. DeFazio, Member

                                                   March 19, 1999.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you pursuant 
     to Rule VIII (8) of the Rules of the House that I received a 
     subpoena for a deposition duces tecum issued by the U.S. 
     District Court for the District of Columbia in the case of 
     Jordan v. Sabretech, Inc.
       After consultation with the Office of the General Counsel, 
     I have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the privileges and precedents of the House.
           Sincerely,
     Kathie Eastman.
