             RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

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

                                      House of Representatives

                                 Washington, DC, January 27, 1999.
     Hon. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Enclosed please find a copy of a letter 
     to the Louisiana Secretary of State announcing my intention 
     to resign from the U.S. House of Representatives on February 
     28, 1999. Upon receipt of this letter, I expect the Governor 
     to notice and call an election to fill my vacancy. My hope is 
     that it will occur as quickly as possible so as to result in 
     as little inconvenience as possible to the Republican 
     Conference.
           Sincerely,
                                             Robert L. Livingston,
     Member of Congress.
