                  TRIBUTE TO MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay special tribute to 
Mother Teresa of Calcutta in celebration of her extraordinary life.
  The world has always been filled with great humanitarians, people who 
donate millions of dollars, and people who make their voices heard. 
Yet, Mother Teresa stands out in this group. She dedicated her entire 
adult life to caring for the terminally ill, the unwanted and unloved. 
Despite these people's pain and suffering, she gave them a reason to 
smile. Mother Teresa received her calling in 1946 and humbly spent the 
next 51 years devoted to helping the people of India. In 1979 she 
received the Nobel Peace Prize and in 1985 she received the highest 
U.S. civilian award, the Medal of Freedom.
  Mother Teresa had love in her heart for all God's children, and for 
that, I am honored today to pay tribute to her.
