  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 Erica Bushinski, winner of the 2003 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, Erica 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.
  Erica is an exceptional student at Napoleon High School, and 
possesses an outstanding record of achievement in high school. Erica 
has received numerous awards for her excellence in science, English, 
social studies and athletics, as well as her volunteer activities with 
HOST and many other volunteer organizations. Erica is the recipient of 
a Board of Trustees Scholarship from Central Michigan University.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Erica Bushinski for her selection 
as winner of a LeGrand Smith Scholarship. This honor is 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.
