                          LOUIS ARMSTRONG DAY

  Mr. HATCH. Madam President, I wish to thank my colleagues, Senators 
Schumer, Breaux, Landrieu, and

[[Page S8695]]

Lieberman for co-sponsoring my resolution designating this Saturday, 
the centennial of a great American legend's birthday, ``Louis Armstrong 
Day.''
  Thanks to the wonders of technology, we can all continue to 
appreciate the genius of Louis Armstrong's music. It is music that 
uplifts the spirit, and that has inspired countless musicians and fans 
for nearly a century. There are millions of people around the world who 
love Louis Armstrong's music. And, thanks to the wonders of technology, 
there are millions more who have never heard his music who someday 
will, and their lives will be uplifted. From the perspective of this 
Louis Armstrong fan, they've all got something to look forward to.
