AT THE SECOND SESSION
Begun and held at the City of Washington on
Thursday, the third day of January, two thousand and eight
Recognizing the 50th Anniversary of the
National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences.
Whereas, in 1957, a group of visionary leaders gathered at
the famed Brown Derby in Los Angeles to form The National Academy of Recording
Arts & Sciences;
Whereas The Recording Academy soon created the GRAMMY
Award which is the world's most visible and prestigious award for music;
Whereas the GRAMMY was created as a peer award, given by
music makers, for music makers, to honor the highest quality recording music of
the year without regard to sales or chart position;
Whereas The Recording Academy expanded its mission beyond
recognition of musical excellence to include groundbreaking professional
development, cultural enrichment, advocacy, education, and human services
programs;
Whereas through its 12 chapters across America, The
Recording Academy serves more than 18,000 musicians, singers, songwriters,
producers, engineers, and other music professionals;
Whereas, in 1989, The Recording Academy created the GRAMMY
Foundation to cultivate the understanding, appreciation, and advancement of the
contribution of recorded music to American culture, from the artistic and
technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of
future generations of music professionals;
Whereas that same year, The Recording Academy created
MusiCares, to provide a safety net of critical assistance for music people in
times of need;
Whereas the GRAMMYs on the Hill Initiative, based in
Washington, DC, works to advance the rights of the music community through
advocacy, education, and dialogue; and
Whereas through this initiative, The Recording Academy has
become a leading advocate for music makers: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Congress congratulates The Recording
Academy during its 50th GRAMMY celebration for its important work in improving
the environment for music and music makers.
