  Mr. FATTAH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize renowned 
composer Nkeiru Okoye. On Monday, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King's 
birthday, Ms. Okoye's composition, ``Voices Shouting Out'' will be 
performed by the esteemed Philadelphia Orchestra. This concert is, in 
fact, the 25th performance of her masterpiece. She deserves recognition 
for her musical accomplishments and her many efforts to bring a 
symphony of harmony to a world filled with discord.
