                                Washington, DC, November 11, 1997.
     Hon. Tom Ridge,
     Governor, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
     Harrisburg, PA.
       Dear Mr. Governor: This letter is to officially notify you 
     of my resignation as United States Representative to the 
     First District of Pennsylvania. President Clinton has given 
     me the opportunity to continue my lifetime of public service 
     by nominating me to be Ambassador to Italy, the nation of my 
     heritage.
       I thank the people of the First District for the 
     opportunity to serve them, this country and this institution. 
     It has been a great honor.
       Thank you.
           Sincerely,
     Thomas M. Foglietta.
