  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignation from the House of Representatives:

                                                  U.S. Senate,

                                 Washington, DC, December 6, 2024.
     Mike Johnson,
     Speaker of the House,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Johnson: Please see the attached letter of 
     resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives effective 
     December 8, 2024.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Adam Schiff,
     Member of Congress.
                                  ____

                                       Committee on the Judiciary,


                                  Committee on Appropriations,

                                 Washington, DC, December 6, 2024.
     Hon. Gavin Newsom,
     Governor, State of California,
     Sacramento, CA.
       Dear Governor Newsom: I am so privileged to have been 
     chosen by the voters of California to serve as their next 
     United States Senator, following in the footsteps of a true 
     giant of the Senate and a mentor of mine, former U.S. Senator 
     Dianne Feinstein.
       As you know, Senator Laphonza Butler, who has served the 
     people of California with great distinction the last thirteen 
     months, has announced her intention to resign so Californians 
     can have their duly elected representation in the United 
     States Senate as soon as possible. I thank Senator Butler for 
     her leadership, friendship and service. She has made a great 
     difference in the lives of every Californian.
       I, therefore, write to submit my formal resignation from 
     the United States House of Representatives effective December 
     8, 2024. It has been my honor to represent the people of 
     California's 30th Congressional District in the U.S. House of 
     Representatives for the last 24 years. I am so grateful to my 
     constituents for giving me the chance to serve them in the 
     House, and to the residents of the state of California for 
     now providing me this new opportunity in the Senate to serve 
     the entire state I love.
       I look forward to representing all of the people of 
     California, and doing my utmost to make sure that our state 
     continues to provide opportunity, creativity, innovation, and 
     a wonderful quality of life for generations to come.
       Thank you for your leadership.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Adam B. Schiff,
                                               Member of Congress.
