                        TRIBUTE TO MOTHER TERESA

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, we just received word that Mother Teresa 
has died in Calcutta of cardiac arrest. With Mother Teresa's death, 
another bright light has gone out in the world.
  Someone once asked St. Francis what a person needed to do to please 
God. He answered, ``Preach the Gospel every day. If necessary--use 
words.'' Mother Teresa lived just that sort of life. She was a living 
reminder to all of us that faith is more than words. It is the good 
deeds we do in this world.
  She was a tiny woman, but she was an enormous inspiration. In the 
same way we can best show our respect for Princess Diana by supporting 
the ideals she believed in, the best way to honor Mother Teresa is to 
reach outside of ourselves and try to show a little more compassion in 
our own lives.
