  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from Daniel Bernal, Chief of Staff, the Honorable Nancy 
Pelosi, Member of Congress:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, November 9, 2023.
     Hon. Mike Johnson,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mister Speaker: This is to notify you formally, 
     pursuant to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of 
     Representatives, that I, Daniel Bernal, San Francisco Chief 
     of Staff for the Honorable Nancy Pelosi, Speaker Emerita and 
     U.S. Representative for the 11th Congressional District of 
     California, have been served with a subpoena from the 
     defendant to testify in United States of America v. DePape in 
     the United States District Court for the Northern District of 
     California.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the privileges and rights of the House to the 
     extent it requires testimony about non-privileged 
     information.
           Sincerely,
     Daniel Bernal.
