                        Thursday, April 26, 2018

  Mrs. BLACK. Mr. Speaker, I am not recorded for roll call votes on 
Wednesday, April 25, 2018 because I was unavoidably detained. Had I 
been present, I would have voted Aye on final passage for H.R. 5447, 
the Music Modernization Act. The music industry is extremely valuable 
to Tennessee both economically and culturally. This bill recognizes the 
valuable work of songwriters and will help the music industry better 
serve its fans.
