lady from my State, Miss Renee Stevens. I am pleased to report she is 
in Orlando, FL, preparing to compete for the national title of ``Miss 
American Coed for 2002.''
  American Coed State Pageants have been held nationwide annually for 
the past 18 years to recognize and reward outstanding young women for 
their past and present accomplishments. Last Memorial Day, Miss Stevens 
was given the crown and title of ``Miss Michigan American Coed 2001.'' 
She was judged on poise, appearance, and presentation during interviews 
and an evening gown competition.
  Miss Stevens, a 2000 graduate from Troy High School, will now compete 
in the National Miss American Coed Pageant. Nationwide, State winners 
and State pageant finalists will be competing in the 18th annual 
national scholarship competition to be crowned ``Miss American Coed for 
2002.''
  Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt Miss Stevens will make Michigan proud 
by representing her home State. I congratulate Renee and wish her 
continued success in all her future endeavors.
