                                KATRINA

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignation as a member of the Select Bipartisan Committee to 
Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina:

                                     House of Representatives,

                               Washington, DC, September 23, 2005.
     Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I hereby resign as a member of the Select 
     Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and 
     Response to Hurricane Katrina.
       This resignation is made necessary by the fact that most of 
     the Select Committee's hearings will conflict with business 
     of the Committee on the Judiciary, thus making it

     impossible for me to actively participate in the Select 
     Committee's activities.
       Thank you for your confidence in me.
           Sincerely,
                                      F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.,
                                               Member of Congress.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the resignation is 
accepted.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 2(a) of House Resolution 
437, 109th Congress, and the order of the House of January 4, 2005, the 
Chair announces the Speaker's appointment of the following Member of 
the House to the Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the 
Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina to fill an existing 
vacancy thereon:
  Mr. Miller, Florida
