            RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET

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

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, March 3, 2010.
     Hon. Speaker Pelosi,
     United States Capitol,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Pelosi, Given the increased commitments I have 
     made to my state, I resign, effective immediately, from the 
     Committee on the Budget. It has truly been a pleasure to work 
     with Chairman Spratt and the many dedicated members that care 
     passionately about getting our nation's fiscal house in 
     order. Fighting for fiscal responsibility as a member of the 
     Blue Dog Coalition for the past five years and pushing for a 
     responsible budget has been an immense honor. I look forward 
     to continuing to work hard for the people of Louisiana and 
     our great nation.
       Thank you for your attention to this matter.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Charlie Melancon,
                                               Member of Congress.

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