               CONGRATULATIONS COUNTRY MUSIC AWARD WINNERS

                                 ______


                            HON. BOB CLEMENT

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 6, 1994

  Mr. CLEMENT. Mr. Speaker, last night, in the home of country music, 
Nashville, TN, the 28th Annual Country Music Awards were presented 
before a nationwide television audience.
   Mr. Speaker, the reasons for country music's popularity were evident 
as one watched last night's awards show. Country music has some of the 
brightest and most talented songwriters, artists, and musicians in the 
music industry today and it is indeed an honor for me to represent them 
here in the Congress.
  I congratulate all of the award winners and the nominees for helping 
make 1994 one of country music's best years.
  I have included with my remarks a list of the CMA award winners.
