  RESIGNATION FROM OFFICE

  The following resignation was received subsequent to adjournment
  of the 1997 legislative session:

  January 6, 1998

  The Honorable Terry E. Branstad
  Governor for the State of Iowa
  State Capitol Bldg.
  Des Moines, IA 50319

  Dear Governor Branstad:

  I have had the honor of representing the constituents of Senate District 8
  in the
  Iowa
  Legislature since my election in November 1996.  It has been one of the most
  challenging and enjoyable experiences of my life.  I have been and remain
  deeply
  committed to the people of my district.

  However, I am also deeply committed to my family and especially my children.
  Recent
  developments in my personal life have made it evident that they need my time
  and
  energy more than ever.  I cannot provide the support they need and continue
  to
  spend
  the time necessary to adequately represent District 8 in the Iowa Senate.
  My
  children
  must remain my highest priority.

  For that reason, I am hereby resigning my seat in the Iowa Senate effective
  immediately.  If I can do anything to make the transition easier, please let
  me
  know.

  Respectfully yours,
  Senator James E. Black
