             RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignation as a member of the Committee on Science:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 16, 2002.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker of the House of Representatives, The Capitol.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: It is with deep regret that I must resign 
     my position on the Science Committee, effective immediately. 
     Though I have greatly enjoyed the hearings and briefings 
     during my short time as a member of Science Committee, 
     another committee position has opened up and I have accepted 
     it.
       On a personal note, I would like to commend Chairman 
     Boehlert. It has truly been an honor to work with a Chairman 
     so committed to his panel's work. In closing, I would also 
     like to commend the Science Committee staff. They do an 
     outstanding job and reflect very well on Mr. Boehlert's 
     leadership. I would like to thank you for the assistance you 
     have given and courtesy you have shown me as a freshman 
     member.
           With Kind Personal Regards, I am,
                                                  J. Randy Forbes,
                                               Member of Congress.

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