  RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignation as a member of the Committee on Banking and Financial 
Services:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                Washington, DC, February 26, 1997.
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     U.S. Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Thank you for the oppotunity to serve on 
     the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. It is my 
     intention to respectfully request a leave of absence from the 
     Banking and Financial Institutions Committee so I may be able 
     to concentrate my District's interests on both Transportation 
     and National Security.
       Thank you for your assistance.
           Sincerely,
                                                  J.C. Watts, Jr.,
                                               Member of Congress.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the resignation is 
accepted.
  There was no objection.

                          ____________________
