  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 Ashley 
Turek, 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, Ashley 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.
  Ashley is an exceptional student at Adrian High School and possesses 
an impressive high school record. Ashley is President of her Senior 
Class and has served as Captain of her Tennis and Track teams. She has 
received numerous awards for her excellence in academics as well as her 
involvement in tennis, gymnastics, and track. Outside of school, Ashley 
is an active volunteer in various community organizations such as the 
Lenawee County Youth Council.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Ashley Turek. 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.
