  RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE

  The Speaker laid before the House the following resignation as a 
member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 26, 2016.
     Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
     Speaker of the House,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Ryan: I, Luis V. Gutierrez, am submitting my 
     resignation from the Permanent Select Committee on 
     Intelligence effective immediately.
       It has been a privilege and honor to have served the last 
     three Congresses on this Committee, whose work and service is 
     absolutely vital to the security of the United States and 
     whose oversight over the Department of Defense and the 
     intelligence community safeguards the civil liberties and 
     safety of all Americans.
       Stepping down from the Committee will allow me to commit 
     more time and energy to other priority issues of my 
     constituents, as well as allow another one of our colleagues 
     the opportunity to serve on this important Committee. Serving 
     on the Intelligence Committee has been one of my greatest 
     honors while in Congress and I am deeply grateful to have had 
     the chance to serve in this capacity.
           Sincerely,
                                                Luis V. Gutierrez,
                                               Member of Congress.

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