Hastert Makes Final Floor Speech

November 15, 2007

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert confirmed Thursday that he won't complete his 11th term in the House -- and may resign before his term is over.

Hastert told reporters that he thinks he'll be "gone by the first of the year."

Earlier, in a floor speech that he said would be his last, he offered a farewell to his colleagues, and indicated that his resignation would come soon.
