  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, let it be known, that 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 Christina Wright, 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, Christina 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.
  Christina Wright is an exceptional student at Marshall High School 
and possesses an impressive high school record. Christina has received 
numerous awards for her involvement in Debate and the Performing Arts. 
Outside of school, she has served the community through many church 
activities and the United Way.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Christina Wright 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.
