                           HON. MIKE THOMPSON

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 16, 2010

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of 
H.R. 6387, a bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal 
Service located at 337 West Clark Street in Eureka, California, as the 
``Sam Sacco Post Office Building''.
  Sam Sacco served as Mayor of the City of Eureka from 1975-1979. He 
owned and operated an insurance agency in Eureka, where he served the 
community for 30 years--helping families and responding to every crisis 
with warmth and generosity that is remembered to this day. Sacco was an 
ardent advocate for working families and fought vigorously to make sure 
their interests were protected. His life's mission was to put an end to 
injustice and help those less fortunate. Mayor Sacco is survived by his 
wife, Mary Beth; sons, Jim and Sam; and daughter, Lisa. He is fondly 
remembered by his community.
  I am honored to bring this bill to the floor and hope that Sam 
Sacco's legacy will live on, encouraging others to serve their 
community to the best of their ability.
