                        Thursday, June 10, 1999

  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 Megan Rooney, winner of the 1999 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, Megan 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.
  Megan Rooney is an exceptional student at Concord High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Megan's involvement in 
student government and school activities began her freshman year and 
continued through her senior year. She served as President of the 
student body and Vice-President of S.A.D.D. Megan excelled athletically 
as well on the basketball and softball teams.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Megan Rooney for her selection as 
a winner of a LeGrand Smith 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.
