| 5 | 
 |     WHEREAS, Music is a powerful and aesthetic force that gives  |

 | search for a humane way of life; and
   | 
| 9 | 
 |     WHEREAS, Music is a basic influence in the lives of  | 
| 10 | 
 | millions of people who participate in creating, performing, and  |

| 16 | 
 |     RESOLVED, BY THE  HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE  |
