Sec. 92.88  Consular procedure.

    With regard to the serving of subpoenas and orders to show cause 
referred to in Sec. Sec. 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.
