                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                    HONORING DR. PETER ALAN McDONALD

 Mr. BAYH. Mr. President, today I, along with Senator Cantwell, 
pay tribute to the life of a talented physician and respected citizen, 
Dr. Peter Alan McDonald, who passed away on June 15. I know he will be 
greatly missed in both Washington and his native Indiana.
  Peter has left a rich legacy through his efforts to better the lives 
of others. From his studies in mathematics and medicine at Indiana 
University to his well-known work as a gifted and efficient emergency 
physician at St. Joseph Hospital, he dedicated himself to ensuring the 
welfare of those around him.
  Peter's boundless passion for life led him to excel in many fields 
beyond his profession. An active outdoorsman and athlete, he found 
great joy in hockey, windsurfing, boating, and fishing. Family and 
friends may best remember Peter for his wonderful stories and sense of 
humor. He is survived by his wife, Kelli McDonald; his father, Alan 
McDonald; his mother, Mary Mandeville; his two brothers, Tom McDonald 
and Jeff McDonald; and his sister, Linda Frank.
  While it is a tragedy to have Peter taken from us at such an early 
age, we can find comfort in the full life he led. It is a rare man who 
can make such an impact on so many people throughout his years.
  It is my sad duty to enter the name of Dr. Peter McDonald in the 
official Record of the U.S. Senate for his service to the States of 
Washington and Indiana. May God grant strength and peace to those who 
mourn, and may God be with all of you, as I know he is with 
Peter.
