             RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignation from the House of Representatives:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                      Washington, DC, May 4, 2011.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, The Capitol, Washington, 
         DC.
       Dear Speaker Boehner, I hereby give notice of my 
     resignation from the United States House of Representatives, 
     effective Monday, May 9, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight 
     Time. Included is a copy of the letter I submitted to 
     Governor Brian Sandoval.
       Serving Nevada's Second Congressional District has been one 
     of the greatest honors of my life. No state has been harder 
     hit by the recession than Nevada. My state has the 
     unfortunate distinction of leading the nation in 
     unemployment, foreclosures, and bankruptcy. There is no 
     question that our nation needs to change the way we do 
     business if we are going to get our economy back on track. It 
     has been a privilege to join my House colleagues in the fight 
     to restore fiscal responsibility to Washington and work 
     towards a more prosperous future for our great nation.
       I look forward to continuing our important work in the 
     United States Senate.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Dean Heller,
                                               Member of Congress.

                                     House of Representatives,

                                      Washington, DC, May 4, 2011.
     Hon. Brian Sandoval,
     Governor, State of Nevada, State Capitol, Carson City, NV.
       Dear Governor Sandoval, I hereby submit my resignation as 
     United States Representative of Nevada's Second Congressional 
     District, effective Monday, May 9, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern 
     Daylight Time.
       Serving Nevada's Second Congressional District has been one 
     of the greatest honors of my life. As you know all too well, 
     no state has been harder hit by the recession than Nevada. 
     There is a a lot of hard work ahead to get our state and 
     nation moving in the right direction. Nevadans across our 
     state have been struggling with job loss, high gas prices, 
     and foreclosures. There is no question that our nation needs 
     to change the way we do business if we are going to get our 
     economy back on track and get Nevadans working again. These 
     issues will remain my top priorities in the United States 
     Senate.
       I look forward to our continued work together to promote 
     policies that strengthen our economy and improve Nevadans' 
     quality of life.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Dean Heller,
     Member of Congress.
