Hon. Paul D. Ryan, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Speaker Ryan: In light of recent events, I am requesting to be temporarily removed from my positions on the House Committees on Armed Services, Education and the Workforce, and Transportation and Infrastructure. I fully intend to resume my position as an active member of these committees upon a successful resolution of pending legal matters. The charges against me are politically motivated and without merit. I intend to fight them fully. In the meantime, I look forward to quickly clearing my good name, and I will continue to represent the people of California's 50th District. Sincerely, Duncan Hunter, Member of Congress. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the resignations are accepted. There was no objection. ____________________
