Bennett, 58, went before the House Banking Committee's coinage panel Wednesday to promote passage of a congressional resolution that would award congressional gold medals to American composers George and Ira Gershwin, whom he knew. He grabbed a microphone set up near a piano in the hearing room and launched into singing "Our Love Is Here To Stay" and "Who's Got the Last Laugh Now." The subcommittee passed the resolution by unanimous voice vote, forwarding it to the full Banking Committee, which is expected to follow suit and send it to the House floor.
