                         HONORING SCOTT TUCKER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NANCY PELOSI

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 15, 2005

  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pride to recognize Scott 
Tucker for his leadership and extraordinary service to the City of San 
Francisco as he prepares to step down as District Manager of Customer 
Service and Sales of the San Francisco District of the U.S. Postal 
Service. Throughout his distinguished career with the Postal Service, 
he proved the San Francisco District leads the nation in postal quality 
control systems and customer service.
  Scott joined the Postal Service in 1968 as a letter carrier in 
Hanford, California, and will bring his career to a close in January 
2006. He was appointed District Manager in 1992, and has since earned 
the Postmaster General Award, the second highest award given to postal 
executives.
  A business administration student at College of Sequoias, Sonoma 
State, Fresno State and Dartmouth College in Massachusetts, Scott used 
his education everyday supervising a workforce of 10,400 employees. 
Scott's career is a shining example of excellence in commitment and 
service.
  Throughout his 23 years as District Manager, Scott worked to raise 
awareness of the multi-cultural groups within our District by 
establishing a Women's Council, an African American Council, an Asian 
American/Pacific Island Council and a Hispanic Council. These efforts 
earned him the Diversity Achievement Award from the Bay Area Federal 
Executive Board.
  With the daunting responsibility of delivering 10 million pieces of 
mail to three million customers daily throughout northwest California, 
Scott was largely responsible for our City's reputation as having one 
of the best on-time mail services of any metropolitan area in the 
nation. Scott was generous with his time and expertise to assist my 
District Office staff with constituent concerns.
  Scott was instrumental in making the Lunar New Year commemorative 
stamp series a reality. His close partnership with San Francisco's 
Asian American community helped produce a spectacular series of stamps 
for our City to take pride in, and for the rest of the nation to admire 
and enjoy. As Executive Chair of United Way's Combined Federal Campaign 
in the Bay Area for two years, Scott was honored for his leadership and 
tremendous success.
  Scott's leadership and dedication remain an inspiration to all who 
knew and admired him. I join his friends and colleagues in sending best 
wishes for a well-deserved retirement and many years of health and 
happiness.
