              RECOGNIZING MUSICAL PRODIGY TAYTE CHOUDHURY

  (Mr. NEHLS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. NEHLS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a true musical 
prodigy with the kind of gift that many of us may only come across once 
in a lifetime, my constituent Tayte Choudhury.
  At only 17 years old, Tayte is internationally recognized for his 
outstanding ability in piano. He is a first-place winner of the 
American Protege award and is performing a winning piece at the world-
renowned Carnegie Hall in New York City on June 26.
  Despite a physical disability that left him 70 percent deaf in both 
ears, Tayte has achieved great success in both music and scholastics. I 
was sent a video of Tayte playing this week and was completely blown 
away to be hearing and seeing such talent that can only be handed down 
by God himself.
  But the thing about talent like that is that it is meaningless 
without hard work, sacrifice, resilience, and an entire village to get 
you where you need to go.
  From myself and all of Texas 22, we are extremely proud of you, 
Tayte, and can't way to see how high you fly.
