The Chair submits to the Senate for printing in the Senate Journal and in the Congressional Record the replication- errata of the House of Representatives to the Answer of Judge G. Thomas Porteous, Jr., to the Articles of Impeachment against Judge Porteous, pursuant to S. Res. 457, 111th Congress, Second Session, which replication was received by the Secretary of the Senate on April 21, 2010. The replication-errata of the House of Representatives is as follows: Congress of the United States, Washington, DC, April 21, 2010. Re Impeachment of G. Thomas Porteous, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Replication--Errata Hon. Nancy Erickson, Secretary of the Senate, U.S. Senate, Washington, DC. Dear Ms. Erickson: On behalf of the House Managers, I am writing to inform the Senate of the following errata in the Replication that the House filed April 15, 2010. Page 5, first sentence in the Section entitled ``Fourth Affirmative Defense,'' the word ``voluntary'' should be deleted, so that the sentence now reads: ``The House of Representatives denies each and every allegation of this purported affirmative defense, which, in effect, seeks to suppress the statements of a highly educated and experienced Federal judge, made under oath, before other Federal judges.'' Page 6, last sentence in the Section entitled ``Fourth Affirmative Defense,'' the words ``voluntary and'' should be deleted, so that the sentence now reads: ``Accordingly, there is simply no credible basis to argue that the Senate should not consider Judge Porteous's immunized Fifth Circuit testimony.'' Page 9, first sentence in the Section entitled ``Fourth Affirmative Defense,'' the word ``voluntary'' should be deleted, so that the sentence now reads: ``The House of Representatives denies each and every allegation of this purported affirmative defense, which, in effect, seeks to suppress the statements of a highly educated and experienced Federal judge, made under oath, before other Federal judges.'' Page 9, last sentence in the Section entitled ``Fourth Affirmative Defense,'' the words ``voluntary and'' should be deleted, so that the sentence now reads: ``There is simply no credible basis to argue that the Senate should not consider Judge Porteous's immunized Fifth Circuit testimony.'' I would request that any future published versions of this Replication incorporate and reflect the above changes. Further, in that the Replication has been published in the Congressional Record, to the extent consistent with the Senate rules, we respectfully request that this letter likewise be published. A copy of this letter will be served upon counsel for Judge Porteous today through electronic mail. Sincerely, Alan I. Baron, Special Impeachment Counsel. ____________________
