  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Jake 
Berglove, an Elk River resident and Perpich Arts High School senior, 
for his recent win in the Twin Cities Songwriting Challenge put on by 
the National Endowment for the Arts.
  As the Twin Cities Songwriting Challenge winner, Jake, and the other 
winners from around the nation will go on to compete in New York City. 
There, Jake will have the chance to earn five thousand dollars and have 
his song published by Sony. This is an amazing accomplishment as only 
four contests were held across the nation.
  Jake's hard work and love for music has gotten him to this point and 
will help him this fall as he joins the Carlson School of Management 
class of 2020 at the University of Minnesota. He hopes to go into music 
and talent management in the future--and I'm sure we will see him 
continue to achieve great things.
  Congratulations Jake and good luck.
