Subpoena Delivered to Schiavo's Hospice

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - As a deadline loomed, a subpoena was delivered Friday at the hospice where severely brain-damaged Terri Schiavo lives, and an attorney for her parents said they hoped an invitation from U.S. Senate Republicans would buy them more time.

The hospice where Terri Schiavo lives received a subpoena late Friday morning, spokeswoman Louise Cleary said. Officials declined to say who was subpoenaed and did not disclose their next steps.

"It is a contempt of Congress to prevent or discourage someone from following the subpoena that's been issued," David Gibbs, the attorney for her parents, said. "What the U.S. Congress is saying is, `We want to see Terri Schiavo.'"
