              GOOD SAMARITAN CENTER'S 50 YEARS OF SERVICE

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I would like to take this time to 
congratulate the staff of the Good Samaritan Center as they celebrate 
50 years of service to the Tyndall community. The center has provided 
quality care to senior citizens in the Tyndall area, and its management 
and staff are to be commended for their hard work and dedication.
  During my travels throughout South Dakota, I am continually reminded 
of the importance of health care institutions in our rural communities. 
They provide important services to local residents and help preserve 
our tight-knit communities.
  The Good Samaritan Center in Tyndall is one of those institutions, 
and it gives me great pride to be able to point to such an exemplary 
South Dakota facility. For half a century, the center has been an 
integral part of the Tyndall community, serving the elderly with 
respect and compassion. Most importantly, the Good Samaritan Center 
ensures that its residents can continue to live close to their friends 
and loved ones, and in the towns in which many of them have spent their 
entire lives. The center can be very proud of its role in the Tyndall 
community.
  Once again, I applaud the management and staff of the Good Samaritan 
Center on this important milestone. I know their next 50 years will be 
just as successful and rewarding.
