  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect for the

committed to playing important roles in our Nation's future.

responsible citizenship, and capacity for human service that 
distinguished the late LeGrand Smith of Somerset, Michigan.

with the National Honor Society. Christina is also involved with the 
high school Spanish club, and the varsity cross country, volleyball and

church youth group and various other community activities.
  In special tribute, Therefore, I am proud to join with her many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to 
Christina Ziegler 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.
