of excellence she has compiled in academics, leadership and community 
service, that I am proud to salute Rachelle Teller, 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, Rachelle is being

  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with her many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Rachelle 
Teller for her selection as a winner of a LeGrand Smith Scholarship. 
This honor is also a testament to the parents, teachers, and others
