  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives:

                                     Chief Administrative Officer,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, November 1, 2013.
     Hon. John A. Boehner,
     House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you of my 
     intent to resign as Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) 
     effective at the close of business on January 6, 2014.
       Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and the U.S. 
     House of Representatives. Over the course of my 28 years as a 
     staff member, I have developed a deep respect and reverence 
     for the institution and, in particular, the Members and staff 
     whose dedication and commitment to service make it an 
     exciting, vibrant, and interactive community.
       Additionally, I want to thank Ed Cassidy of your staff for 
     his leadership, direction and support as Director of House 
     Operations. He has done a tremendous job instilling and 
     fostering a culture of collaboration and coordination within 
     and among the institutional entities that support the House.
       Finally, I want to thank my colleagues in the Office of the 
     CAO and all the other institutional offices whose non-
     partisan professionalism serve as a model of excellence for 
     other legislative bodies.
       I will work with my successor as needed to ensure a smooth 
     transition.
           Sincerely,
                                                Daniel J. Strodel.

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