          RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

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

                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, Apr. 19, 2007.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, the Capitol,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Pelosi: I am writing to temporarily resign 
     from my seat on the Committee on Appropriations, effective 
     immediately.
       I understand how the most recent circumstances may lead 
     some to question my tenure on the Appropriations Committee. 
     Therefore, I feel it may be in the best interest of the House 
     that I temporarily resign from the Committee, until this 
     matter can be resolved.
           Sincerely,
                                                John T. Doolittle,
                                              U.S. Representative.

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