                HONORING AND REMEMBERING PRINCESS DIANA

  (Mr. GINGRICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGRICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to share with the House, that on 
Thursday, the House will be voting on a resolution honoring and 
remembering Princess Diana. I think every Member of the House joins 
literally millions of people across the planet in grief for the 
Princess, for her family, for the others who were killed in the 
accident and their families, and for the unnecessary tragedy that ended 
her life.
  She had been a leader, not only in charming everyone who met her, but 
in working on key charitable causes, working on helping those with 
AIDS, working on banning land mines, working with the Red Cross, 
working with the homeless, and working on breast cancer.
  I think across the world people have been drawn together in a sense 
of grief and sadness at this absolutely unnecessary tragedy, and the 
House tomorrow will extend formally by resolution the feelings of the 
American people as represented by this body to her family and to the 
people of Britain.
