  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, let it be known, that it 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 Andrew Burke, 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, Andrew 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.
  Andrew Burke is an exceptional student at Lansing Catholic Central 
High School and possesses an impressive high school record. He has been 
involved with the National Honor Society and the Eagle Scouts. Andrew 
was also a National Merit semi-finalist and has received numerous 
academic awards. He was a member of the band and the quiz bowl team. 
Outside of school Andrew, has been a member of the Lansing Concert High 
School Honors Band and has earned the order of the Arrow Brotherhood 
member.
  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with his many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Andrew 
Burke 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.
