  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. Robert 
Kase, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of 
Saint Francis in Joliet, Illinois, for earning a Grammy award 
nomination in the category of Outstanding Jazz Solo for the track 
entitled ``Dr. Doo Good.'' ``Dr. Doo Good'' is an original composition 
by Dr. Kase and is part of his recently released jazz quintet album 
titled As We Gather.
  As We Gather was not only recorded at University of St. Francis's 
Digital Audio Recording Arts studio, it was engineered, mastered, and 
produced by University of Saint Francis faculty.
  Dr. Kase has an impressive background as an educator, administrator, 
business leader, and performer. His musical career includes touring 
with Sonny and Cher and playing alongside Frank Sinatra, The 
Temptations, Natalie Cole, and other musical legends.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dr. 
Robert Kase in earning a Grammy nomination.
