  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, 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 Erin 
Doherty, winner of the 2001 LeGrand Smith Congressional 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 Congressional Scholarship, Erin 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.
  Erin Doherty is an exceptional student at Jonesville High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Erin has received numerous 
awards for her academic achievement and her success as a young athlete. 
She is active in student government, serving as President of her class, 
and participates in the high school and pep bands. Erin is active in 
S.A.D.D. and the Jr. Rotary, Interact.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Erin Doherty for her selection as 
a winner of a LeGrand Smith Congressional 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.
