                    TRIBUTE TO MARCY VACURA SCHULTZ

                                 ______


                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Marcy Vacura Schultz, a 
dedicated community leader from California's 14th Congressional 
District who is being honored as an inductee into the San Mateo County 
Women's Hall of Fame.
  Marcy Vacura Schultz is the business manager of the Building and 
Construction Trades Council of San Mateo County. She is the first woman 
to be elected to such a position in the United States. As a former 
flight attendant, she led 2,500 coworkers in a strike against a major 
airline in 1983. Based on her belief that female-dominated unions 
should be treated equally with male-dominated unions, she successfully 
lobbied the California Joint Legislature to pass a resolution in 
support of flight attendants and convinced then-Congresswoman Barbara 
Boxer to launch a National Boycott of Conscience against the airline. 
Since joining the Building Trades Council as assistant manager in 1987, 
she has worked with the Private Industry Council, the County Leadership 
Council of the United Way, the Advisory Council on Women, and the 
County Housing Task Force. She was a founding member of the START 
Program, a project designed to train women in nontraditional jobs, and 
currently is the president of a nonprofit homeless agency, Shelter 
Network of San Mateo County.
  Mr. Speaker, Marcy Vacura Schultz is an outstanding citizen of 
California's 14th Congressional District and I salute her for the 
commitment and contributions she has made to our community. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Ms. Schultz and congratulate her on 
being inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
