  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 Ashley 
Percy, 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, Ashley 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.
  Ashley is an exceptional student at Camden-Frontier High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. She is involved in the 
National Honor Society, as well as volleyball, basketball and softball. 
She has received numerous awards for her excellence in academics as 
well as her involvement in athletics. Ashley also served as a 
Congressional Page for the United States House of Representatives.
  THEREFORE, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Ashley Percy 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.
