  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 Heather 
Rogers, 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, Heather 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.
  Heather is an exceptional student at Deerfield High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Heather is President of the 
National Honor Society and Treasurer of the school yearbook. Heather 
also is involved with Varsity basketball, volleyball and cheerleading. 
Outside of school, Heather is involved with various community 
activities.
  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with her many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Heather 
Rogers 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.
