  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, 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 Julia 
Peters, winner of the 1998 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, Julia 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, Michigan.
  Julia Peters is an exceptional student at Tecumseh High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. President of the National 
Honor Society, Julia is also the secretary for her school's S.A.D.D. 
program. She was student of the month 19 times throughout high school. 
Outside of school, Julia was involved with the Student County Congress 
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 Julia 
Peters 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.
