RESIGNATION AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES
The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following resignation as a member of the Committee on Natural Resources:
Congress of the United States,
House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, June 15, 2021.Hon. Nancy Pelosi,Speaker, House of Representatives,Washington, DC.
Dear Speaker Pelosi: I write today to request to be removed from the House Committee on Natural Resources to allow Representative Stansbury to serve on this important committee.
Representative Stansbury was recently sworn in as a Member of the House of Representatives serving New Mexico's 1st Congressional District. Representative Stansbury is filling the vacancy created when then Representative Haaland was nominated and confirmed to be the United States Secretary of the Interior. Before serving as Secretary of the Interior, former Representative Haaland used her position on the House Committee on Natural Resources to combat the climate crisis and create a more equitable future for her constituents and all Americans. I believe it is important that Representative Stansbury have an opportunity to continue this legacy and represent her constituents in New Mexico's 1st Congressional District on the House Committee on Natural Resources.
I appreciate your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Doris Matsui,
Member of Congress.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the resignation is accepted.
There was no objection.
