                     CONGRATULATING EMERSON KAMPEN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE PENCE

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 8, 2011

  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Emerson Kampen 
and the rest of the Butler University men's basketball team. America 
watched as the Bulldogs demonstrated hard work and personal sacrifice 
throughout the NCAA tournament and achieved what many said was 
impossible. The Dawgs epitomize what the word ``team'' is all about, 
and although they did not take home the trophy, they made their state 
and Bulldog fans across the nation proud. As Andrew Carnegie said, 
``teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to obtain uncommon 
results.''
  Emerson Kampen is one of the Bulldogs I am proud to say is from my 
district. Emerson starred at Yorktown High School where he was named 
Honorable-Mention to the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association All-
State team as a senior. There is no doubt Emerson's talent helped 
advance the Dawgs to the final game of the NCAA tournament. I echo the 
pride of Hoosiers across the state on Butler's strong performance. And 
I especially congratulate Emerson on his leadership and strength of 
character throughout the tournament.
