             RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, October 29, 2015.
     Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
     Speaker of the House,
     Washington, DC.
       Speaker Ryan: I write to inform you that I have notified 
     Ohio Governor John Kasich of my resignation from the U.S. 
     House of Representatives, effective 11:59 p.m. October 31, 
     2015.
       At this hour, my heart is full with gratitude. I wish to 
     thank the people of Ohio's Eighth District for giving me the 
     opportunity to serve, my staff for being the linchpins of 
     that service, and my colleagues for honoring me with their 
     trust by electing me their Speaker. Together, we banned 
     earmarks, cut spending by more than $2 trillion, made the 
     first entitlement reforms in nearly two decades, and made it 
     possible for kids in Washington, D.C.'s toughest 
     neighborhoods to go to great schools. Put another way, we did 
     the right things for the right reasons, and good things 
     happened. It has been an honor to serve.
           Sincerely,
                                                  John A. Boehner.
       (Representative John A. Boehner's resignation letter to 
     Governor John R. Kasich will be placed in the Congressional 
     Record of November 3, 2015 prior to adjournment.)
