House of Representatives, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Washington, DC, September 27, 2016. Hon. Ed Royce, Chairman, Committee on Foreign Affairs, Washington, DC. Dear Chairman Royce: On September 26, 2016, H. Res. 891, ``Expressing concern over the disappearance of David Sneddon, and for other purposes,'' was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition, to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In order to expedite the House's consideration of the resolution, the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will forego consideration of the measure. This courtesy is, however, conditioned on our mutual understanding and agreement that it will in no way diminish or alter the jurisdiction of the Permanent Select Committee with respect to any future jurisdictional claim over the subject matter contained in the resolution or any similar measure. I would appreciate your response to this letter confirming this understanding and would request that you include a copy of this letter in any committee report for the resolution and in the Congressional Record during its floor consideration.
