  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, let it be known, that is with 
great respect for the outstanding record of excellence she has compiled 
in academics, leadership and community service, that I am proud to 
salute Nicholas Ebinger, winner of the 1996 LeGrand Smith Scholarship. 
This award is made to young adults who have demonstrated that they are 
truly committed to playing important roles in our Nation's future.
  As a winner of the LeGrand Smith Scholarship, Nicholas is being 
honored for demonstrating that same generosity of spirit, intelligence, 
responsible citizenship, and capacity for human service that 
distinguished the late LeGrand Smith of Somerset, MI.
  Nichiolas Ebinger is an exceptional student at Jackson High School 
and possesses an impressive high school record. Nicholas was the 
captain of the quizbusters team, and participated in Model United 
Nations. He was co-editor-in-chief of the yearbook and the youngest 
student ever accepted by Jackson Community College. Nicholas also 
excelled academically as the most valuable player on the undefeated 
conference championship academic team.
  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with his many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Nicholas 
Ebinger for his selection as a winner of a LeGrand Smith Scholarship. 
This honor is also a testament to the parents, teachers, and others 
whose personal interest, strong and active participation contributed to 
his success. To this remarkable young man, I extend my most heartfelt 
good wishes for all his future endeavors.
