                        Wednesday, June 25, 2003

  Ms. CARSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, it is with a great sense of pride 
that I rise today to extend heartfelt congratulations to Anne Elizabeth 
Smith, 2003 Presidential Scholar, Indianapolis, IN.
  Anne is a recent graduate of North Central High School, Indianapolis, 
IN. Her myriad achievements include the prestigious Indiana Honor 
Diploma and the North Central Honor Diploma. Anne will continue her 
education at Williams College, Williamstown, MA.
  The United States Presidential Scholars Program was established in 
1964, by Executive Order of the President. This program was established 
to recognize and honor some of our Nation's distinguished graduating 
high school seniors. In almost 40 years since this program was 
implemented, 4,000 students have been recognized for their outstanding 
achievement in leadership, scholarship, and community.
  I would like to welcome Anne to Washington, DC, for National 
Recognition Week, where scholars are recognized for their academic 
achievements.
  I would also like to thank Anne's parents, David and Alyson Smith, 
for providing Anne with the exceptional parental guidance that has 
contributed to her success.
  I ask the House of Representatives to join me in saluting this 
extraordinary young woman for her academic excellence.
