  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 Brienne Willcock, 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, Brienne 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.
  Brienne is an exceptional student at Hanover Horton High School, and 
possesses an outstanding record of achievement in high school. Brienne 
has received awards for her excellence in English, as well as her 
volunteer activities with The Girls Scouts, earning a Silver Award. 
Brienne has also garnered several awards and much respect from her 
peers for her exceptional leadership skills.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations 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.
