  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 Jennifer 
Arver, winner of the 2001 LeGrand Smith Congressional 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 Congressional Scholarship, Jennifer 
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.
  Jennifer Arver is an exceptional student at Bronson High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Jennifer has received 
numerous awards for her involvement in 4-H, as well as high school 
athletics. She has participated in student government and is a member 
of the Youth Advisory Council. Jennifer is active in her community, 
volunteering as a mentor with the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program, and 
as a member of the Branch County Finance Board.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Jennifer Arver for her selection 
as a winner of a LeGrand Smith Congressional 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.
