  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 Maureen 
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, Maureen 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.
  Maureen is an exceptional student at Jackson High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Maureen is actively 
involved in the Student Government and National Honor Society. Maureen 
is also involved with Varsity soccer, tennis and volleyball. Outside of 
school, Maureen is involved with her Church Youth Group.
  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with her many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Maureen 
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.
