          RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES

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

                                     House of Representatives,

                                      Washington, DC, May 5, 2010.
     Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
     House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Pelosi: I hereby resign my appointment to the 
     House Armed Services Committee so that I might accept the 
     appointment to House Committee on Appropriations.
       It has been my distinct honor to serve on the Armed 
     Services Committee these past three years and I feel 
     privileged to have been able to serve under the Honorable 
     Chairman Ike Skelton. However I must resign my appointment to 
     this committee effective immediately in order to begin work 
     on the Committee on Appropriations and continue my work on 
     the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
           Sincerely,
                                                Patrick J. Murphy.

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