  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, let it be known, that it is with 
great respect for the outstanding record of excellence he has compiled 
in academics, leadership and community service, that I am proud to 
salute Andrew Towne, winner of the 1999 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, Andrew 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.
  Andrew Towne is an exceptional student at Pittsford High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Andrew's involvement in 
football, basketball and track began his freshman year and continued 
through his freshman year and continued through his senior year. He 
excelled both academically and athletically as Captain of the Quiz Bowl 
and Basketball Team. Outside of school, Andrew participated in several 
volunteer activities to improve the community.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with his many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Andrew Towne for his 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 his success. To this 
remarkable young man, I extend my most heartfelt good wishes for all 
his future endeavors.
