Emergency landing. When selecting flaps 5 degrees from flaps 1 degree, EICAS message 'trailing edge flaps disagreement' appeared. Accomplished all appropriate checklist items, declared an emergency, requested equipment to stand by, and reintercepted the ILS -- landing flaps 20 degrees per the checklist. This was the third repeat malfunction of the flaps on this aircraft in as many days.
