Dear Mr. President:
When I accepted your request to serve as U.S. Special Envoy for Middle
ast Peace my intention was to serve for two years. More than two years having
passed I hereby resign, effective May 20, 2011. I trust this will provide sufficient
time for an effective transition.
I strongly support your vision of comprehensive peace in the Middle East
and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your administration. It
has been an honor for me to again serve our country.
With my gratitude and best wishes.
Sincerely,
vas fuithtl
feorge J. Mitchell
