  Mr. McMAHON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Japanese 
Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC) on its 
70th anniversary and salute this organization for its lasting and 
productive international partnership with the American Society of 
Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) in protecting the rights of 
musical creators and its commitment and leadership in promoting and 
advancing copyright standards in Japan and around the world. I wish 
JASRAC much success in the future in their mission and commitment to 
protect the intellectual and creative property of the people of Japan.
