   EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE, AND COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION AND 
                             INFRASTRUCTURE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignations as a member of the Committee on Armed Services, the 
Committee on Education and the Workforce, and the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                  Washington, DC, August 23, 2018.
     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.

                          ____________________
