  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 Angela 
Pitts, 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, Angela 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.
  Angela Pitts is an exceptional student at Litchfield High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Angela has received 
numerous awards for her academic achievement and her success as a young 
athlete. She is active in student government, as well as the high 
school and jazz bands. Angela volunteers her time to various 
organizations, such as her community's youth group, and coaches young 
children in basketball.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Angela Pitts 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.
