'''"To supplement this inherent power, Congress in 1857 adopted an
alternative statutory contempt procedure. Sec. 2, infra. Thus, the
House may either (1) certify a recalcitrant witness to the appropriate
United States Attorney for possible indictment under this statute or
(2) __exercise its inherent power to commit for contempt by detaining
the witness in the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms.__ Manual Sec. 296."'''

'''"However, once judicial proceedings to enforce
the subpoena have been initiated, __the defendant cannot be purged of
contempt merely by producing the documents or testimony sought.__ See
United States v. Brewster, 154 F. Supp. 126 (D.D.C. 1957), cert.
denied, 358 U.S. 842 (1958)"'''
