                    TRIBUTE TO UYLESS WARDELL WHITE

  Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, I would like to bring to the attention of 
my colleagues a tribute written by Christopher Lee McCall to his uncle, 
the late Uyless Wardell White, of my hometown, Tuscumbia, AL. The 
Whites are known as a pioneer family in northwest Alabama. They are 
well-known in the Muscle Shoals area for Christian fellowship, civil 
responsibility, excellence in education, and total family devotion.
  This fitting tribute written by Christopher McCall to his uncle 
invokes the memory of the love of Ruth for Naomi found in the Bible in 
the First Chapter of the Book of Ruth, verses 16 and 17:

       . . . entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from 
     following after thee: whither thou goest, I will go; and 
     where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my 
     people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and 
     there will I be buried: The Lord do so to me, and more also, 
     if I ought but death part thee and me.

  Mr. President, U.W. ``Cush'' White was a model for his nephew, 
Christopher, to emulate. I ask unanimous consent that this tribute to 
U.W. White be entered into the Congressional Record immediately 
following my remarks.
  There being no objection, the tribute was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

   (By Christopher Lee McCall--In loving memory of my uncle, Uyless 
                             Wardell White)

                                Someday

     Someday we'll see you again,
     Although we know not when:
     We all loved you so very much.
     But now we're out of touch.

     Your face will be with us always;
     We'll think of you everyday,
     Never to forget what you gave us;
     You brought us all such happiness.

     Uncle Cush, we'll miss you,
     With all our hearts and souls,
     But to know you're somewhere safe
     Away from this terrible place
     Will help us to overcome
     The sorrow we feel inside.

     Though it will never cease,
     This hollow feeling that we feel,
     We know that someday soon,
     We'll see you again!
