APPENDIX

RESIGNATION FROM OFFICE

February 6, 2002

Senator Mary Kramer
President of the Iowa Senate
Iowa Capitol
Des Moines, Iowa 50319

Dear Senate President Kramer:

Let me begin by saying how fortunate I have been the past twelve years to have
had the opportunity to represent the citizens of North Iowa under the Golden Dome of
the State Capitol Building. When I was first a candidate for the Iowa House of
Representatives in 1986, I would never have dreamed of the wonderful opportunities I
would have to positively affect the public policy of Iowa and speak on behalf of the
citizens of North Iowa in those public policy debates. It has indeed been an honor and a
privilege.

Secondly I want to publicly thank the citizens of North Iowa for their support
throughout my career in the Iowa Legislature. Interaction between a legislator and
constituents is the principle that guides and guards the democratic process in our state
and nation. In North Iowa that interaction is alive and well.

This interaction on a statewide basis sets up the arena in which all legislators
operate—a living, breathing political process, which in turn influences the policy
debates that initiate and change the laws by which we live. Each legislator brings to
this process his or her own ideas, values, agenda, background, perspective, and
personality as their basis from which to begin.

We all also bring into this legislative family our frailties and strengths, our virtues
and shortcomings; those attributes of human nature that have the ability to affect the
final outcomes of our deliberations in both positive and negative ways. In that outcome
analysis, I suspect that I have unintentionally on occasion injured both friend and foe,
and I know for certain that on specific occasions, I have intentionally wounded. As I
leave, I ask that my slate be wiped clean and I unilaterally bestow the same benefit.

I have accepted a position with the United States Department of Agriculture to
work as the Special Assistant for the Undersecretary of Natural Resources and
Environment. I believe that this opportunity is an opportunity of a lifetime and with
mixed emotion, I hereby give notice that I resign my position as the Senator of Iowa
Senate District 10 effective at 5:00 p.m., Monday, February 11, 2002.


May the good Lord bless and keep you till we meet again.

Respectfully,
Merlin E. Bartz
State Senator
Cerro Gordo, Mitchell & Worth Counties
