RESIGNATIONS AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM 
                   AND COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignations as a member of the Committee on Oversight and Government 
Reform and the Committee on Natural Resources:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                               Washington, DC, September 13, 2016.
     Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
     Speaker of the House,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I, Matthew A. Cartwright, am submitting 
     my resignation from the Committee on Oversight and Government 
     Reform and the House Committee on Natural Resources effective 
     immediately. It has been a privilege and honor to have served 
     on these committees as they fought to make government more 
     accountable, transparent, and effective and worked to protect 
     our environment and natural resources.
       I look forward to working to shape spending that can have a 
     tremendous effect on the lives of seniors, veterans, 
     children, students, commuters, federal workers, federal 
     contractors, and military service personnel with my new 
     assignment to the House Committee on Appropriations. I will 
     be a powerful voice for a budget that invests in America, 
     creates more good-paying jobs, and strengthens hard-working 
     families.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Matt Cartwright.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the resignations are 
accepted.
  There was no objection.

                          ____________________
