Representative Tim Moore sponsored a resolution in the Texas House of
Representatives in Austin, Texas calling on the House to commend Albert
de Salvo for his unselfish service to "his country, his state and his
community."

The resolution stated that "this compassionate gentleman's dedication and
devotion to his work has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout the
nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of concern for their future.
He has been officially recognized by the state of Massachusetts for his
noted activities and unconventional techniques involving population control
and applied psychology."

The resolution was passed unanimously.

Representative Moore then revealed that he had only tabled the motion to
show how the legislature passes bills and resolutions often without
reading them or understanding what they say. Albert de Salvo was the Boston
Strangler.
