  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 Kristin 
Anderson, 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, Kristin 
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.
  Kristin is an exceptional student at Columbia Central High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Kristin has received 
numerous awards for her excellence in academics, as well as her 
involvement in soccer and volleyball. She is active in student 
government, serving as President of the National Honor Society and 
Secretary of the student body. Kristin's volunteer efforts include 
helping to organize a local coat drive and working with the Toys for 
Tots Program.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Kristin Anderson 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.
