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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, December 4, 2006.
     Hon. Dennis Hastert,

     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: On November 7, 2006, I received the great 
     privilege of being elected Governor of the State of Nevada. 
     Although Dean Heller was elected and will succeed me as the 
     representative of the Second Congressional District of 
     Nevada, under Nevada law I must formally resign my 
     Congressional office prior to taking office as Governor. I 
     have advised the current Governor of the State of Nevada of 
     such resignation and hereby inform you of my formal 
     resignation as the representative of the Second Congressional 
     District of Nevada to be effective at the close of business 
     on December 31, 2006.
       It has been an honor and pleasure representing the Great 
     State of Nevada in Congress over the past 10 years, and I 
     look forward to continuing that service as Governor.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Jim gibbons,
     Member of Congress.

                                                 December 4, 2006.
     Hon. Kenny Guinn,
     Governor, State of Nevada,
     Carson, City, NV.
       Dear Governor Guinn: On November 7, 2006, I received the 
     great privilege of being elected Governor of the State of 
     Nevada. As you may be aware, under Nevada law I must formally 
     resign my Congressional office prior to taking office as 
     Governor. I have advised the Speaker of the House of such 
     resignation and hereby inform you of my formal resignation as 
     the representative of the 2nd Congressional District of 
     Nevada to be effective at the close of business on December 
     31, 2006.
       It has been an honor and pleasure representing the Great 
     State of Nevada in Congress over the past 10 years, and I 
     look forward to continuing that service as Governor.
           Sincerely,
     Jim Gibbons.
