To the Honorable, the Senate:
The following bill(s), originating in the Senate, have been approved, signed and deposited in the office of the Secretary of State:
Sincerely,
TOMMY G. THOMPSON
Governor
State of Wisconsin
Office of the Governor
February 1, 2001
The Honorable, The Legislature:
On January 4, 1999 I took the oath of office for the constitutional office of Governor of the State of Wisconsin. After careful deliberation, I have determined I will accept President George W. Bush's appointment and will take the oath of office to become Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Consistent with sections 17.01(1) and (13), of the Wisconsin Statutes, I resign from the constitutional office of Governor of the State of Wisconsin. My resignation shall be effective on February 1, 2001 at 11:55 A.M.
There has been no greater privilege then to serve the people of the State of Wisconsin as their Governor for the past fourteen years.
