                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, April 4, 1996.

       Dear Mr. Speaker: this is to formally notify you, pursuant 
     to Rule L (50) of the Rules of the House of Representatives, 
     that four members of my Albuquerque District Office have been 
     served with subpoenas issued by the Second Judicial District 
     Court (Bernalillo County, New Mexico) in the case of New 
     Mexico v. Martin.
       After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I 
     have determined that compliance with the subpoena is 
     consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
           Sincerely,
     Steven Schiff.
