Madam President, I understand that the Chair has an announcement to make. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair lays before the Senate a communication regarding the resignation of Senator Sasse. Without objection, the letter will be printed in the Record and spread upon the Journal. The letter follows: U.S. Senate, Washington, DC, December 5, 2022. Governor Pete Ricketts, Office of the Governor, Lincoln, NE. Dear Governor Ricketts: I will resign as Senator from the State of Nebraska effective January 8, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. EST. It has been a great honor to serve the people of Nebraska in the U.S. Senate these last eight years. I am confident that Governor-Elect Pillen will appoint someone who will serve Nebraskans well in Washington. Sincerely, Ben Sasse, U.S. Senator. ____________________
