  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 Annette 
Leazenby, 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, Annette 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.
  Annette Leazenby is an exceptional student at Waldron High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. She has been involved with 
the National Honor Society. Annette is also involved with the high 
school band and the drama club. She is a member of the varsity 
basketball, volleyball, softball and track teams. Outside of school, 
Annette has been involved in volunteer work at her local church, and is 
taking college classes.
  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with her many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Annette 
Leazenby 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.
