  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, let it be known, that it is with 
great respect for the outstanding record of excellence he has compiled 
in academics, leadership, and community service, that I am proud to 
salute Damon Williams, 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, Damon 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.
  Damon Williams is an exceptional student at Homer High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Damon has been a member of 
the National Honor Society, and was listed in ``Who's Who Among 
American High School Students''. He has excelled academically and 
athletically. He participated in both the Science Olympiad and Quiz 
Bowl Team. Damon was a member of the track team, Future Farmers of 
America, and 4-H.
  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with his many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Damon 
Williams for his selection as a winner of a LeGrand Smith Scholarship. 
The honor is also a testament to the parents, teachers, and others 
whose personal interest, strong support, and active participation 
contributed to his success. To this remarkable young man, I extend my 
most heartfelt good wishes for all his future endeavors.
