       It was an honor to serve on the Transportation and 
     Infrastructure Committee under the tremendous leadership of 
     Chairman Oberstar. The Transportation and Infrastructure 
     Committee has provided me with a useful forum to help shape 
     our country's investment in our roadways and transportation 
     systems. I look forward to continuing to following the 
     success of the committee and offering my assistance wherever 
     possible.

     forward to serving on the Energy and Commerce Committee. My 
     strongest desire as a Member of Congress is to improve the 
     lives of the people I represent, and serving on this 
     committee will afford me invaluable opportunities to make a 
     demonstrative and positive difference in their lives.
       I appreciate your attention to my resignation, and please 
     do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance 
     to you.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Doris O. Matsui,
                                               Member of Congress.

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