                         Tuesday, June 10, 2014

  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Prakviti 
Mehta, an outstanding student and constituent from Memphis, Tennessee. 
Miss Mehta was selected as a winner of ``Letters About Literature'' for 
her composition written in response to Sadako and the Thousand Paper 
Cranes by Eleanor Coerr.
   I commend Miss Mehta for her academic achievement and commitment to 
high standards. The ``Letters About Literature'' program is a 
nationwide competition sponsored by the Library of Congress that 
challenges students in grades 4-12 to write to the author of a poem, 
book, or speech. The competition is judged by a panel of authors, 
editors, publishers, librarians, teachers and state officials.
   On behalf of Tennessee's 8th Congressional District, I congratulate 
Miss Mehta and wish her the best of luck for all future endeavors.
