  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, let it be known that it is with 
great respect for the outstanding record of excellence he has compiled 
in academics, leadership and community service, that I am proud to 
salute Bart Northrup, 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, Bart 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.
  Bart is an exceptional student at Tecumseh Creek High School, and 
possesses an outstanding record of achievement in high school. Bart has 
received numerous awards for his excellence in music, science and math, 
as well as his volunteer activities with the Secret Santa Shop, The Boy 
Scouts, and the Community Euchre Tournament. Bart has also accumulated 
numerous awards for his accomplishments in music, and has participated 
in Honors Bands at both the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan 
University.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with his many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Bart Northrup for his 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 his success. To this 
remarkable young man, I extend my most heartfelt good wishes for all 
his future endeavors.
