  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, let it be known that 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 Jessica Cauthon, winner of the 2003 LeGrand Smith 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 Scholarship, Jessica 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.
  Jessica is an exceptional student at Jackson High School, and 
possesses an outstanding record of achievement in high school. Jessica 
has received numerous awards for her excellence in academics and 
athletics, as well as her volunteer activities with the Aware Shelter.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with her many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Jessica Cauthon for her selection 
as winner of a LeGrand Smith Scholarship. This honor is 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.
