  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 Beth Ann Johnston, 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, Beth Ann 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.
  Beth Ann is an exceptional student at Vandercook Lake High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record.
  Beth Ann has received numerous awards for her excellence in academics 
as well as her involvement in band. Outside of school, she is an active 
member of her church community and a conscientious volunteer.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Beth Ann Johnston 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.

                          ____________________
