“I think this is an important resolution. The people of our country love classical music. In designating the month of November 1994 as a month in which classical music is recognized for the greatest that it has, I think the House does honor to itself as well. I want to thank the gentleman from Maryland for bringing the joint resolution up and for seeing that it is passed. Mr. Speaker, classical music warms our hearts, makes us think, and lifts our spirits. It appeals to people of all ages in every part of the country and I think it is important to set aside some time, as we do with this resolution, to salute the musicians, the recording companies, the schools of music, the orchestras, and the various musical groups that perform this music as well as the people of this country that support and enjoy classical music. Classical music, which we celebrate and honor with the passage of House Joint Resolution 239, is a source of tremendous pleasure to millions of Americans.”
