resignation from the House of Representatives:

                                                February 28, 2011.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker of the House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I write to inform you that I have 
     notified California Governor Jerry Brown of my resignation 
     from the House, effective today, to assume the 
     responsibilities of President, Director and Chief Executive 
     Officer of the Woodrow Wilson Center for International

       The privilege of representing the people of California's 
     36th Congressional District for 17 years has been an honor 
     without equal. I look forward to working with you to ensure 
     an orderly transition for my successor.

     Jane Harman.

     Governor of California,
     State Capitol, Suite 1173, Sacramento, CA.
