          RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON SMALL BUSINESS

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, March 16, 2015.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker, The Capitol,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Boehner: I write today to resign from the 
     House Small Business Committee. While I appreciate the honor 
     of being appointed, in order to best serve the constituent of 
     Texas' 23rd congressional district, I believe I must focus on 
     my existing committee assignments.
       With my background in the intelligence community, 
     cybersecurity, and representing the district with the largest 
     length of U.S.-Mexico Border, my ability to focus on my 
     Information Technology Subcommittee Chairmanship and Border 
     and Maritime Subcommittee Vice-Chairmanship is where I 
     believe I can be of most value to my constituents and 
     colleagues in the House.
       I appreciate your timely consideration of this request.
           Sincerely,
                                                        Will Hurd,
                                               Member of Congress.

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