  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, let it be known that it is with 
great respect for the outstanding record of excellence he has compiled 
in academics, leadership and community service, that I am proud to 
salute Derrick Miller, 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, Derrick 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.
  Derrick is an exceptional student at Union City High School, and 
possesses an outstanding record of achievement in high school. Derrick 
has received numerous awards for his excellence in academics, as well 
as his volunteer activities with the Soup-R-Bowl project. Derrick is 
also active in Student Council and National Honor Society.
  Therefore, I am proud to join with his many admirers in extending my 
highest praise and congratulations to Derrick Miller for his 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 his success. To this 
remarkable young man, I extend my most heartfelt good wishes for all 
his future endeavors.
