ARTICLE II 
G. Thomas Porteous, Jr., engaged in a longstanding 
pattern of corrupt conduct that demonstrates his unfitness to 
serve as a United States District Court Judge. That conduct 
included the following: Beginning in or about the late 1980s 
while he was a State court judge in the 24th Judicial District 
Court in the State of Louisiana, and continuing while he was 
a Federal judge in the United States District Court for the 
Eastern District of Louisiana, Judge Porteous engaged in a 
corrupt relationship with bail bondsman Louis M. Marcotte, 
III, and his sister Lori Marcotte. As part of this corrupt rela-
tionship, Judge Porteous solicited and accepted numerous 
things of value, including meals, trips, home repairs, and car 
repairs, for his personal use and benefit, while at the same 
time taking official actions that benefitted the Marcottes. 
These official actions by Judge Porteous included, while on 
the State bench, setting, reducing, and splitting bonds as re-
quested by the Marcottes, and improperly setting aside or 
expunging felony convictions for two Marcotte employees (in 
one case after Judge Porteous had been confirmed by the 
Senate but before being sworn in as a Federal judge). In ad-
dition, both while on the State bench and on the Federal 
bench, Judge Porteous used the power and prestige of his of-
fice to assist the Marcottes in forming relationships with 
State judicial officers and individuals important to the

Whereas 69 percent of all teenagers who had sex by age 14 
said they have experienced 1 or more types of abuse in 
a dating relationship; 
Whereas violent relationships in adolescence can have serious 
ramifications for victims, putting them at higher risk for 
substance abuse, eating disorders, risky sexual behavior, 
suicide, and revictimization as adults; 
Whereas the severity of violence among intimate partners has 
been shown to be greater in cases where the pattern of 
violence has been established in adolescence; and 
Whereas National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Pre-
vention Week benefits schools, communities, families, and 
individuals, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or 
sex: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of National 
Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention 
Week to raise awareness of teen dating violence in 
the Nation; and 
(2) encourages the people of the United States, 
State and local officials, middle schools and high 
schools, law enforcement agencies, and other inter-

Marcottes’ business. As Judge Porteous well knew and under-
stood, Louis Marcotte also made false statements to the Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation in an effort to assist Judge 
Porteous in being appointed to the Federal bench. 
Accordingly, Judge G. Thomas Porteous, Jr., has en-

Beginning in or about March 2001 and continuing

United States District Court for the Eastern District of Lou-

as a Federal judge by knowingly and intentionally making 
material false statements and representations under penalty 
of perjury related to his personal bankruptcy filing and by re-
peatedly violating a court order in his bankruptcy case. Judge 
Porteous did so by—

Whereas autism is a developmental disorder that is typically 
diagnosed during the first 3 years of life, affecting indi-
viduals’ ability to communicate and interact with others; 
Whereas autism affects an estimated 1 in every 110 children 
in the United States; 
Whereas autism is four times more likely to be diagnosed in 
boys than in girls; 
Whereas autism can affect anyone, regardless of race, eth-
nicity, or other factors; 
Whereas it costs approximately $80,000 per year to treat an 
individual with autism in a medical center specializing in 
developmental disabilities; 
Whereas the cost of special education programs for school- 
age children with autism is often more than $30,000 per 
individual per year; 
Whereas the cost nationally of caring for persons affected by 
autism is estimated at upwards of $90,000,000,000 per 
year; 
Whereas despite the fact that autism is one of the most com-
mon developmental disorders, many professionals in the
•HRES 1033 EH 
medical and educational fields are still unaware of the 
best methods to diagnose and treat the disorder; and 
Whereas April 2010 would be an appropriate month to des-
ignate as ‘‘National Autism Awareness Month’’ to in-
crease public awareness of the need to support individ-
uals with autism and the family members and medical 
professionals who care for individuals with autism: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the United States House of Representa-
tives— 
(1) expresses support for designation of a ‘‘National 
Autism Awareness Month’’; 
(2) recognizes and commends the parents and rel-
atives of children with autism for their sacrifice and 
dedication in providing for the special needs of children 
with autism and for absorbing financial costs for special-
ized education and support services; 
(3) supports the goal of devoting resources to re-
searching the root causes of autism, identifying the best 
methods of early intervention and treatment, expanding 
programs for individuals with autism across their life-
spans, and promoting understanding of the special needs 
of people with autism; 
(4) stresses the need to begin early intervention 
services soon after a child has been diagnosed with au-
tism, noting that early intervention strategies are the 
primary therapeutic options for young people with au-
•HRES 1033 EH 
tism, and that early intervention significantly improves 
the outcome for people with autism and can reduce the 
level of funding and services needed to treat people with 
autism later in life; 
(5) recognizes the shortage of appropriately trained 
teachers who have the skills and support necessary to 
teach, assist, and respond to special needs students, in-
cluding those with autism, in our school systems; and 
(6) recognizes the importance of worker training 
programs that are tailored to the needs of people with 
developmental disabilities, including those with autism, 
and notes that people with autism can be, and are, pro-
ductive members of the workforce if they are given ap-
propriate support, training, and early intervention serv-
ices.
