The text of the guidelines accompanying this letter is as follows:

GUIDELINES FOR EDUCATIONAL USES OF MUSIC

The purpose of the following guidelines is to state the minimum and not
the maximum standards of educational fair use under Section 107 of HR
2223. The parties agree that the conditions determining the extent of
permissible copying for educational purposes may change in the future;
that certain types of copying permitted under these guidelines may not
be permissible in the future, and conversely that in the future other
types of copying not permitted under these guidelines may be permissible
under revised guidelines.

Moreover, the following statement of guidelines is not intended to limit
the types of copying permitted under the standards of fair use under
judicial decision and which are stated in Section 107 of the Copyright
Revision Bill. There may be instances in which copying which does not
fall within the guidelines stated below may nonetheless be permitted
under the criteria of fair use.

A. Permissible Uses

1. Emergency copying to replace purchased copies which for any reason
are not available for an imminent performance provided purchased
replacement copies shall be substituted in due course.

2. For academic purposes other than performance, single or multiple
copies of excerpts of works may be made, provided that the excerpts do
not comprise a part of the whole which would constitute a performable
unit such as a section [1], movement or aria, but in no case more than
10 percent of the whole work. The number of copies shall not exceed one
copy per pupil. [2]

3. Printed copies which have been purchased may be edited or simplified
provided that the fundamental character of the work is not distorted or
the lyrics, if any, altered or lyrics added if none exist.

4. A single copy of recordings of performances by students may be made
for evaluation or rehearsal purposes and may be retained by the
educational institution or individual teacher.

5. A single copy of a sound recording (such as a tape, disc or cassette)
of copyrighted music may be made from sound recordings owned by an
educational institution or an individual teacher for the purpose of
constructing aural exercises or examinations and may be retained by the
educational institution or individual teacher. (This pertains only to
the copyright of the music itself and not to any copyright which may
exist in the sound record
