“Mr. President, I am informed that it is necessary for me to insert into the Record of the proceedings the resignation letter that I sent to Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona on December 12, 2018; therefore, I ask unanimous consent that this letter be printed in the Record at this point. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: U.S. Senate, December 12, 2018. Hon. Doug Ducey, Governor of the State of Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona. Dear Governor Ducey: Thank you again for appointing me to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy created by John McCain's death. It has been an honor and a privilege to again serve the people of Arizona. When I accepted your appointment, I agreed to complete the work of the 115th Congress and then reevaluate continuing to serve. I have concluded that it would be best if I resign so that your new appointee can begin the new term with all other Senators in January 2019 and can serve a full two (potentially four) years. Therefore, I will resign from the U.S. Senate effective 11:59 pm EST December 31, 2018. Respectfully, Jon Kyl, United States Senator. ____________________”
