  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect for the 
outstanding record of excellence he has compiled in academics, 
leadership, and community service, that I salute Michael James Horosko, 
winner of the 2004 LeGrand Smith Scholarship. This award is given to 
young adults who have demonstrated their true commitment to playing an 
important role in our Nation's future.
  As a winner of the LeGrand Smith Scholarship, Michael is being 
honored for demonstrating the same generosity of spirit, intelligence, 
responsible citizenship, and capacity for human service that 
distinguished the late LeGrand Smith of Somerset, Michigan.
  Michael is an exceptional student at Concord High School. Aside from 
his perfect 4.0 grade point average, Michael possesses an outstanding 
record of achievement in high school. He has played football for four 
years and was named academic all-state. Notable among his many 
activities is his participation in Quiz Bowl, National Honor Society, 
and S.A.D.D. Michael is also Vice President of his graduating class.
  On behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to join his many 
admirers in extending our highest praise and congratulations to Michael 
James Horosko for his selection as winner of the 2004 LeGrand Smith 
Scholarship. This honor not only recognizes his efforts, but represents 
a testament to the parents, teachers, and other individuals whose 
personal interest, strong support, and active participation contributed 
to his success. To this remarkable young man, we extend our most 
heartfelt good wishes for all his future endeavors.
