Bob Clement : I would like to take this opportunity to salute the Grammy winners in various country music categories, many of whom live or work in my hometown, Nashville, Tennessee.

During the past 60 years the country music business has grown from infancy to an industry which has annual sales of over $550 million. According to a recent Harris survey, country music is the best liked music in America, with over 60 percent of adult Americans stating that country music is their favorite music.

I am very proud to represent Music City U.S.A., the home of country music. I am equally proud to honor this year's Grammy Award winners in the different country music categories.

Last October my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate joined me in adopting House Joint Resolution 401, officially proclaiming October as Country Music Month. Today I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting these talented individuals.
