     Hon. Newt Gingrich,

       Dear Mr. Speaker: I hereby resign my position as a member 
     of the Economic and Educational Opportunities Committee and 
     the International Relations Committee effective upon 
     ratification by the full House of my membership on the House 
     Commerce Committee.
       I wish to thank Chairman Gilman, Ranking Member Hamilton, 
     Chairman Goodling, Ranking Member Clay and all the members of 
     these committees for the many courtesies extended to me 
     during my service on these two panels.
       While I am honored to serve as the newest member of the 
     Commerce Committee, I look forward to also returning to my 
     assignment on the International Relations Committee where I 
     have been a member for more than seven years.
       Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Eliot L. Engel,
