          RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, October 20, 2021.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker of the House,
     Washington, DC.
       Speaker Pelosi: For nine terms in Congress, I have 
     conducted my work on behalf of Nebraskans with honor and 
     integrity.
       I am grateful for the outpouring of support from my friends 
     and colleagues as we work against the injustice confronting 
     me. As the rules of the House Republican Conference require, 
     I hereby temporarily step aside from my committee 
     assignments.
       Even as I do, I will continue to focus on the most 
     important issues facing Nebraska and America. I look forward 
     to taking up these committee assignments again once this 
     matter is resolved.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Jeff Fortenberry,
                                               Member of Congress.

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