[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 146 (2000), Part 16] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 24206] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]IN MEMORY OF MR. VINCE ZANCA ______ HON. JIM McCRERY of louisiana in the house of representatives Tuesday, October 24, 2000 Mr. McCRERY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to memorialize the life and work of the late Vince Zanca. Mr. Zanca was a nationally recognized expert on the unemployment insurance program, the safety net for workers who lose their jobs. Mr. Zanca was a tireless advocate for maintaining a strong unemployment insurance system in Louisiana and across the nation. He was active in national and state business organizations involved in unemployment insurance issues, including the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and UWC-- Strategic Services on Unemployment and Workers' Compensation. For many years, Mr. Zanca served on the U.S. Chamber's UI Task Force. He was a member of the Council of State Chambers' UI Task Force, where he coauthored its employer unemployment compensation handbook, Issues and Answers. Mr. Zanca also chaired LABI's UI Task Force, where he coauthored LABI's employer unemployment compensation handbook, In Plain Dollars and Sense. In addition, he served on the Louisiana Unemployment Insurance Advisory Council under three governors. In recognition of his many achievements and for his leadership on behalf of a sound unemployment insurance program, Mr. Zanca received UWC's Quarterback award in 1998. In addition to his deep involvement in UI issues, Mr. Zanca served our country during World War II in the U.S. Army Transport Service, and was a 55-year veteran of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Speaker, as someone involved in efforts to reform our current unemployment insurance system for our nation's workers and businesses, I would like to recognize the contributions of Mr. Zanca. His devoted efforts on this issue are greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed by our state and the nation. Mr. Zanca is survived by his loving wife, Noni; his three children, Roy, Rhonda, and Regina; his two grandchildren, Robin and Ryan; and, his three siblings, Gloria Chaplain, Virginia Burke, and John Zanca. ____________________
