Abstract: We prove that if a measure distal action $alpha$ of a countable group $Gamma$ is weakly contained in a strongly ergodic probability measure preserving action $$ of $Gamma$, then $alpha$ is a factor of $$. In particular, this applies when $alpha$ is a compact action. As a consequence, we show that the weak equivalence class of any strongly ergodic action completely remembers the weak isomorphism class of the maximal distal factor arising in the Furstenberg-Zimmer Structure Theorem.
