                      Thursday, September 29, 2011

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer my sincere 
congratulations to Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Thomas B. 
Thompson for his distinguished service to, and retirement from, the 
United States Attorney's Office.
  Since 1984, AUSA Thompson has devoted his expertise to the United 
States Attorney's Office (USAO), serving in both the criminal and civil 
divisions of the USAO in the Western District of Louisiana. AUSA 
Thompson specializes in U.S. bankruptcy law, and has worked as senior 
litigation council and chief of the civil division of the USAO.
  AUSA Thompson is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association and 
is authorized to practice in certain federal courts, including the 
Supreme Court of the United States.
  Before entering the United States Attorney's Office, from 1980 to 
1984, AUSA Thompson worked for the late Honorable Richard J. Putnam, 
Senior District Judge, United States District Court, Western District 
of Louisiana.
  AUSA Thompson earned his baccalaureate degree from McNeese State 
University and his Juris Doctorate from Louisiana State University. He 
also served his country in the United States Marine Corps from 1969 to 
1975, receiving an Honorable Discharge. During his time with the Corps 
he was stationed in the Former Republic of Vietnam, obtaining the 
position of squad leader for two infantry companies.
  AUSA Thompson has had a highly distinguished career, and I commend 
him for his service to our nation, not only on the battlefield, but 
also as an officer of justice. I am proud to be his representative in 
Congress and wish him well in his retirement.
