  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 Andrew Poenicke, winner of the 2000 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, Andrew 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.
  Andrew is an exceptional student at Lenawee Christian High school and 
possesses an impressive high school record.
  Andrew has received numerous awards for his excellence in academics 
as well as his involvement in soccer. Outside of school, he has been 
active in many volunteer programs such as Meals on Wheels for Lenawee 
County.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with his many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Andrew Poenicke for his 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 his success. To 
this remarkable young man, I extend my most heartfelt good wishes for 
all his future endeavors.
