                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 4, 2004

  Mr. CARDOZA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Juan J. Arcellana 
(Jay) in recognition of his many years of dedicated service to the 
State of California. He has served the people of the state for over 
twenty-five years, and has been with the California Unemployment 
Insurance Appeals Board for the last sixteen of those years. I would 
like to take this time to highlight his many achievements and to extend 
public recognition and commendations to him for his professional and 
civic leadership over these many years.
  Jay has been the Chief Administrative Law Judge for the California 
Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board for eight years, and is currently 
serving as both its Chief Administrative Law Judge and Executive 
Director. Jay has served with the utmost distinction as President of 
the National Association of Unemployment Insurance Appeals Boards.
  Jay has spent an entire career dedicated to serving the unemployed 
and disabled citizens of California. He is particularly proud of his 
efforts to enhance the accessibility of the California Unemployment 
Insurance Appeals Board administrative hearing process, and ensure 
prompt consideration and action on their appeals.
  Jay has received numerous commendations for his professionalism, 
expertise, hard work, extraordinary effort, and spirit of cooperation 
over the years, and it is certainly well deserved. Jay has personally 
touched the lives of many people throughout his career, giving many an 
employment opportunity allowing them to demonstrate and develop their 
individual talents.
  Jay is married to Betsy Arcellana, and this marriage has been blessed 
with three sons, Jason, James and Jonathan. Today I call on my 
colleagues in Congress to join me in thanking Jay Arcellana for his 
longstanding and continued commitment to the Californians that need his 
help the most.
