  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 Matthew VanWormer, 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, Matthew 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.
  Matthew is an exceptional student at Hillsdale High School and 
possesses and impressive high school record.
  Matthew has received numerous awards for his excellence in academics 
as well as his involvement in the tennis team. Outside of school, he is 
an active member of his church community and a conscientious volunteer.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with his many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Matthew VanWormer 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.
