                                     Congress of the United States


                                      House of Representatives

                                      Washington, DC, May 7, 2020.
       Dear Speaker Pelosi: Please accept this letter as a formal 
     resignation of my position on the Oversight and Government 
     Reform Committee; a seat I hold on a waiver, to allow for 
     newly elected member, Rep. Kweisi Mfume to be appointed. In a 
     time when oversight and accountability is of the utmost 
     importance, I am honored to have served alongside my 
     colleagues working to root our waste, fraud, and abuse in 
     government to improve the lives of all Americans.
       I ran for Congress on the promise of holding those who 
     threaten our democracy and institutions accountable. Thank 
     you for the opportunity to raise issues of critical 
     importance to our democracy and give my unique perspective to 
     ensure our government is working for New Mexico families and 
     the American people. If an opportunity to serve on this 
     committee were to become available in the future, I stand 
     ready to fill the position.
       I am available to offer any assistance necessary to 
     facilitate a seamless transition of duties and 
     responsibilities to my successor. I trust Representative 
     Mfume will continue to contribute to the much-needed 
     investigative work taking place in our nation's capital. I 
     look forward to the continued success of this committee.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Deb Haaland,
                                               Member of Congress.

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