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.
