  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 Abby Walter, winner of the 2000 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, Abby 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.
  Abby is an exceptional student at Grass Lake High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record.
  Abby has received numerous awards for her excellence in academics as 
well as her involvement in band. Outside of school, she has received 
many awards for her involvement in 4-H.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Abby Walter 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.
