             RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignation from the House of Representatives:
                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                                  October 2, 2020.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Pelosi: One of the last votes I cast as a U.S. 
     Representative was in favor of the bipartisan reforms crafted 
     by the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress, 
     which I've been honored to help lead. I can think of no 
     better way to leave The People's House. With our work done, 
     it is time for me to begin a new chapter. It has been the 
     honor of my life to serve the people of Georgia. I will 
     forever be grateful for their trust and the opportunities 
     given to me by our great nation.
       I hereby submit my resignation effective 11:59 pm on 
     Sunday, October 4, 2020, as United States Representative of 
     the 14th District of Georgia. Attached is the letter I 
     submitted to Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Tom Graves,
     Member of Congress.
                                  ____

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                                  October 2, 2020.
     Hon. Brian Kemp, Governor,
     State of Georgia, Office of the Governor, Atlanta, Georgia.
       Dear Governor Kemp: One of the last votes I cast as a U.S. 
     Representative was in favor of the bipartisan reforms crafted 
     by the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress, 
     which I've been honored to help lead. I can think of no 
     better way to leave The People's House. With our work done, 
     it is time for me to begin a new chapter. It has been the 
     honor of my life to serve the people of Georgia. I will 
     forever be grateful for their trust and the opportunities 
     given to me by our great nation.
       I hereby submit my resignation effective 11:59 pm on 
     Sunday, October 4, 2020, as United States Representative of 
     the 14th District of Georgia.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Tom Graves,
     Member of Congress.
