             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,

                                                  August 15, 2012.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker of the House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Boehner: I write to inform you that I have 
     notified California Governor Jerry Brown of my resignation 
     from the House, effective midnight tonight, August 15th.
       It has been a tremendous honor to represent my friends and 
     neighbors from California's Central Valley, both in Congress 
     and the California State Assembly. I look back with pride on 
     what we have accomplished. The real honor of serving in 
     Congress is not working in historic buildings, but in 
     laboring with so many unbelievably talented and dedicated 
     individuals who serve our Nation daily.
           Sincerely,
     Dennis Cardoza.

                                                  August 15, 2012.
     Hon. Edmund G. Brown, 
     Governor of California,
     Sacramento, CA.
       Dear Governor Brown: I write to inform you that I will 
     resign my House seat, effective midnight tonight, August
