Sec. 92.88  Consular procedure.

    With regard to the serving of subpoenas and orders to show cause 
referred to in Secs. 92.86 and 92.87, section 1 of the act of June 25, 
1948 (sec. 1, 62 Stat. 819, 28 U.S.C. 1783), provides that the subpoena 
shall designate the time and place for appearance before the court of 
the United States, and shall issue to any consular officer of the United 
States in the foreign country. The consular officer is required to make 
personal service of the subpoena and any order to show cause, rule, 
judgment or decree on the request of the Federal court or its marshal, 
and to make return thereof to such court after tendering to the witness 
his necessary travel and attendance expenses, which will be determined 
by the court and sent with the subpoena. When the subpoena or order is 
forwarded to the officer, it is usually accompanied by instructions 
directing exactly how service should be made and how the return of 
service should be executed. These instructions should be followed 
carefully.
