        The Honorable  Devin Nunes
        Ranking  Member
        Permanent  Select Committee on Intelligence
        U.S. House  of Representatives
        Washington,  D.C. 20515-6415


        Dear Ranking  Member  Nunes:

               At approximately  11:20 a.m. today, the Majority provided notice to you and the Members
        of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (the Committee) that the Committee will
        hold on November   13 at 10:00 a.m. the first in a series of open hearings as part of the House of
        Representatives' impeachment  inquiry.' H. Res. 660 (the Resolution) affords the Minority the
        opportunity to identify and request witnesses to testify during the open hearings.2 Pursuant to the
        Resolution, the Minority should submit such a witness request in writing within 72 hours of the
        provision of such notice, which is Saturday, November 8, at 11:20 a.m.

               The  Majority does not intend to request public testimony from every witness who
        previously testified in depositions or interviews as part of the impeachment inquiry. If the
        Minority wishes for any of those witnesses to testify during the open hearings, please include
        them  in your request for witnesses.

               As  directed by the Resolution, the Minority's witness request must be submitted in
        writing, and must be accompanied by a detailed written justification of the relevance to the
        inquiry of the testimony of each requested witness.4 To guide relevance, the report submitted by
        the Committee  on Rules to accompany the Resolution sets forth the inquiry's parameters:5


          Notice to Members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, November 6, 2019.

          See generally H. Res. 660 (Oct. 31, 2019) § 2(1), (3).
          3Id § 2(3).

          4Id

          5H. Rept. 116-266 (Oct. 30, 2019) at 2.
