  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 Emily 
Stack, 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, Emily 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.
  Emily Stack is an exceptional student at Lenawee Christian High 
School and possesses an impressive high school record. Emily has 
received numerous awards for her academic achievement, as well as 
receiving state recognition for her excellent oratory skills. She is 
active in student government, serving as President of her class for two 
years. Emily has volunteered her time to various community service 
projects, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters and Project Build.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Emily Stack 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.
