             RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

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

                                     House of Representatives,

                                      Washington, DC, May 4, 2011.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, The Capitol, Washington, 
         DC.
       Dear Speaker Boehner, I hereby give notice of my 
     resignation from the United States House of Representatives, 
     effective Monday, May 9, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight 
     Time. Included is a copy of the letter I submitted to 
     Governor Brian Sandoval.
       Serving Nevada's Second Congressional District has been one 
     of the greatest honors of my life. No state has been harder 
     hit by the recession than Nevada. My state has the 
     unfortunate distinction of leading the nation in 
     unemployment, foreclosures, and bankruptcy. There is no 
     question that our nation needs to change the way we do 
     business if we are going to get our economy back on track. It 
     has been a privilege to join my House colleagues in the fight 
     to restore fiscal responsibility to Washington and work 
     towards a more prosperous future for our great nation.
       I look forward to continuing our important work in the 
     United States Senate.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Dean Heller,
     Member of Congress.
                                  ____



                                     House of Representatives,

                                      Washington, DC, May 4, 2011.
     Hon. Brian Sandoval,
     Governor, State of Nevada, State Capitol, Carson City, NV.
       Dear Governor Sandoval, I hereby submit my resignation as 
     United States Representative of Nevada's Second Congressional 
     District, effective Monday, May 9, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern 
     Daylight Time.
       Serving Nevada's Second Congressional District has been one 
     of the greatest honors

     of my life. As you know all too well, no state has been 
     harder hit by the recession than Nevada. There is a a lot of 
     hard work ahead to get our state and nation moving in the 
     right direction. Nevadans across our state have been 
     struggling with job loss, high gas prices, and foreclosures. 
     There is no question that our nation needs to change the way 
     we do business if we are going to get our economy back on 
     track and get Nevadans working again. These issues will 
     remain my top priorities in the United States Senate.
       I look forward to our continued work together to promote 
     policies that strengthen our economy and improve Nevadans' 
     quality of life.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Dean Heller,
     Member of Congress.
