The publication is reproduced in full below:

Congress of the United States,
House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, February 12, 2014.Hon. John Boehner,Speaker of the House,Washington, DC.
Speaker Boehner: Nearly twenty-four years ago, the people of New Jersey's First Congressional District afforded me the opportunity, responsibility and honor of serving as their Representative in the United States House of Representatives. I am profoundly thankful and forever humbled by the trust they have placed in me.
I am writing to inform you that, effective February 18, 2014, I will be resigning as a Member of the United States Congress.
The House has always been a place of high energy and healthy division, and it remains so today. But we have always shared the common belief that it is the spirit of the American people and Constitution we live by that makes our country great.
I am proud to have served with members of both parties, Democratic and Republican, liberal and conservative in what has been one of the greatest honors of my lifetime.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Andrews,Member of Congress.
