                            HON. NICK SMITH

  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 Sarah Shaub, 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, Sarah 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.
  Sarah Shaub is an exceptional student at Lenawee Christian High 
School and possesses an impressive high school record. Sarah was the 
president of the National Honor Society, has earned several academic 
awards, and was listed in ``Who's Who Among American High School 
Students.'' She has also been involved with student government serving 
as secretary and treasurer. She has been active in band, choir, and 
drama. Outside of school, Sarah has spent much of her time volunteering 
for a variety of local activities.
  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with her many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Sarah 
Shaub for her 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 support, and active participation 
contributed to her success. To this remarkable young woman, I extend my 
most heartfelt good wishes for all her future endeavors.

                        TRIBUTE TO SHARON WARNER

                                 ______


                          HON. CARRIE P. MEEK

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 10, 1996

  Mrs. MEEK of Florida, Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, May 11, 1996, friends 
and relatives of Sharon Warner will gather to pay tribute to her on-
going, remarkable efforts made in the face of adversity. Diagnosed only 
months ago with leukemia, Ms. Warner and her friends have taken it upon 
themselves to educate and assist others.
  When she learned of her illness, Ms. Warner began the search for a 
bone marrow transplant donor. She soon found that the national pool of 
potential donors, especially minority ones, was very small.
  And when she approached various public agencies for financial 
assistance after using all sick leave made available by her employer, 
she found the red tape to be overwhelming.
  Ever the crusader, Ms. Warner did not give up. She spread the message 
of the need for minority bone marrow donors through local media 
outlets. She also formed the Helping Hands Organization to direct 
others seeking financial assistance through the maze of governmental 
bureaucracy.
  I am sure that my colleagues across the United States will join me in 
honoring the work of Sharon Warner. Her efforts will certainly make a 
difference for years to come. Sharon Warner is a shining example of 
bravery and tenacity, and she deserves our admiration, our respect, and 
our support.
