       COMMUNICATION FROM HON. JOHN A. BOEHNER, REPUBLICAN LEADER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following
communication from the Honorable John A. Boehner, Republican Leader:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                                    July 16, 2007.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, U.S. Capitol,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Pelosi: Pursuant to section 703c of the Public
     Interest Declassification Board, 50 U.S.C. 435 note, I have
     agreed to re-appoint the Honorable David Skaggs to the Public
     Interest Declassification Board as the Minority Leader
     appointment. As previously agreed, because of the change in
     Congress and the presumed statutory intent of the Board, Mr.
     Skaggs has requested that he continue serving in this
     capacity, with the understanding that he will resign the
     position effective June 5, 2009. As such, I am pleased to
     make this appointment.
           Sincerely,
                                                  John A. Boehner,
      Republican Leader.
