  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 Kelli 
McCarrell, 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, Kelli 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.
  Kelli is an exceptional student at Western High School. Aside from 
being at the top of her class academically, she possesses an 
outstanding record of achievement in high school. She has participated 
in Varsity Golf and Cheerleading for four years as well as the school 
band. Notable among her many activities is her service as President of 
the Spanish Club, Treasurer of the National Honor Society, and Captain 
of the Math Academic Team. Kelli is also very active with her church.
  On behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to join her many 
admirers in extending our highest praise and congratulations to Kelli 
McCarrell for her selection as winner of the 2004 LeGrand Smith 
Scholarship. This honor not only recognizes her efforts, but is also a 
testament to the parents, teachers, and other individuals whose 
personal interest, strong support, and active participation contributed 
to her success. To this remarkable young woman, we extend our most 
heartfelt good wishes for all her future endeavors.
