H12303 Congressional Record, Volume 142 Issue 143 (Monday, October 21, 1996) [Congressional Record Volume 142, Number 143 (Monday, October 21, 1996)] [House] [Page H12303] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [[Page H12303]] RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr. WILSON submitted the following resignation from the House of Representatives: Congress of the United States, House of Representatives, Washington, DC, October 8, 1996. Hon. George W. Bush, Governor of The State of Texas, State Capitol, Austin, Texas. Re Letter of resignation, Texas Congressional District No. 2. Dear Governor Bush: It has been my honor, and privilege, to serve my constituents in Texas for almost 40 years; four in the United States Navy; twelve in the Texas Legislature and the remainder in the U.S. House of Representatives. I have tried to give the very best I had to offer for my constituents, the State of Texas and my Country. If there were an opportunity to turn the clock back and start over, I would follow the same course. At this point of anyone's career, if he/she can look back and say, ``It was good.'', the ultimate fulfillment has been achieved. I can truthfully say, it was good. The book has closed on the 104th Congress. With that closure, I respectfully take my leave effective at the expiration of October 8, 1996. Thank you for your kind understanding of my resignation and for the many courtesies you have extended to me. Sincerely, Charles Wilson. ____________________
